Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NBA Finals really just doesn't hit as a name compared to the Stanley Cup, World Series or Super Bowl. Need to step up the name game.

I think people forget members of Congress are sovereign and co-equal. When operating in their official capacity there is literally no other government agent that has authority over them. The Romans wiped nations off the earth for putting hands on a Senator like Noem did.

At 2:30 am, the Missouri senate approved one of the most sweeping stadium subsidy schemes in U.S. history: Gov. Kehoe's bill would collect all tax money being received currently at MLB and NFL stadiums and kick it back to pay for new or renovated venues.

Call me old fashioned but Olof's sideline attire always bothered me. The coach shouldn't be the worst dressed person on the pitch. Not asking for Italian suits but come on bring a little dignity to the sideline.
