Worth remembering: just because right-wingers say it’s bad doesn’t mean it’s bad. (In fact, it’s probably good.)

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Man, being the second flying facial hair commercial of the Super Bowl must be so embarrassing…

Brady reminiscing about the 2017 Super Bowl, but the ‘24 Eagles are not the ‘16 Falcons. #SBLIX

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

My wife just looked up at this Brad Pitt thing they’re showing before the Super Bowl and said, “What is this?” which is THE BEST QUESTION. 🤣

Hard to argue this does anything to make life better for average United States citizens.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada? Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally? Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.

Among things I did not need to know: Fleetwood Mac’s Rhiannon came out 50 years ago today. Thanks, WUKY.

The thing that’s hilarious about all these people arguing about country purity is radio country hasn’t sounded like anything Hank Williams or Patsy Cline would recognize as country in years. Cowboy Carter was more thoughtful about country as a genre than any mainstream album in a while.*

Mitch was elected to lead not hide behind the people of the United States. His knowledge that Trump is unfit and decision to not oppose him, when a number of Republicans did, is one of the major failures that should define his career.

Nineteen games unbeaten, nine points clear 😎

Didn’t Republicans used to hate executive orders? Whatever happened to that?

I mean, we understand the numbers, but they could at least try.

The last time I took a walk in the neighborhood was Jan. 4. Though there is still a bite in the air and some icy patches on the sidewalks, it was great to get out today, take a deep breath and have a couple mile stroll.

As a Yankees fan, I guess I have to STFU (but go Eagles).

Jayden Daniels had a rookie season for the ages: ◻️ 3,568 passing yards ◻️ 31 total TDs ◻️ 891 rushing yards (rookie record) ◻️ Two playoff wins ◻️ Led Washington to its first NFC title game since 1991

Room for the vastly-improved management to build around their phenomenal QB.

The second time I thought it had to be a replay.

How much did he get for his soul?

Think the NFC East got sick of hearing about the NFC North.

I understand this is the Commanders brand now, but sometimes I wish they’d just take the point(s).

When the Commanders took up 1/2 the quarter with their first drive, was feeling good. But now, down 14-3 — vibes ain’t good, they just ain’t good.

This!

The Commanders punter must have the cushiest job of any player in the NFL.

He said what people wanted to hear, but he was always going to do what he really wanted to do.

Let’s be real, if you’re out there admonishing people about “the sin of empathy,” your only interest in Christianity is using it to manipulate people.

It’s been a while since I have heard sports announcing as nauseating as the guy calling the Man City-Chelsea match on Peacock. We get it, dude. You 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 Man City. Hope you’re well compensated for the boosterism.

Please, please, please CBS, don’t pull an ABC here. If you cave to this, you might as well just start sending stories to the White House for review.

She's braver than essentially the entire Democratic Party and the entire media industry

So much for the rule of law in the United States …

“Hollywood Squares”? Does Nate Burleson do everything at CBS? Watch out, Justin “Tracker” Hartley.

So, Cabinet posts are now entry-level positions? 😮

This! I have not had time to watch the hearings, so I don’t know if it’s just that the news is only showing the salacious stuff, but this is the bottom-line argument Dems should be making: the guy is not qualified for the job. Leading our national defense is no time for amateur hour.

After a week marked by so much devastation and uncertainty, the Rams are bringing a playoff victory back to Los Angeles and will face the Eagles in the divisional round next week. Live reactions and analysis ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

That team was 14-3?! Great win #RAMS
