don't fall for this obvious psyop to get this website's users to reveal that they are grown adults who brag about their SAT scores. don't do it. it's what they're hoping for

It's late, I've got a Duke column coming shortly, but also this newser from MSG: Duke assistant Jai Lucas is not yet the next Miami coach, but it seems like it's headed that way. Lucas didn't speak tonight, but Jon Scheyer did. Story: www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Luis went full Ralph.

NEW: On this day in 1968, thousands of Florida's teachers walked off the job. We revisit this labor action with deep Dade ties by talking to Jody Baxter Noll, author of the upcoming @lsupress.bsky.social book "The 1968 Florida Teachers' Strike."

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

There's a union out there called AFSCME and they're busting their balls for you doing a lot of shit work you take for granted

Trump took egg

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

half-baked sociological "analysis" with artless, exploitative photography? that's a chris arnade special

I didn’t think it was really possible in a live music review rather than a musical, but Cher somehow delivered a literal and figurative 11 o'clock number at #SNL50.

Been watching Cam Ward this week and I think my favorite trait of his is how quickly he changes his arm angles vs pressure. He makes throws look deceptively easy.

Getting so pissed off at a request for your participation in public corruption that you call a reporter from the delivery ward to be like, JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR, I AM FUCKING QUITTING TOO

Eventually the Adams case will trickle down to someone who will just follow orders and dismiss it. Make that person historically infamous. (Recall it was Robert Bork who eventually followed Nixon’s order to fire Archibald Cox)

FLASHBACK: On this date in 1964, The Beatles landed at Miami International Airport. Thousands of teenagers from across Dade County descending on the airplane. It kicked off more than a week of The Beatles exploring and performing in Miami. Learn more from our episode in 2021! #Miami #MiamiHistory

Further proof that funding the arts for at least a generation at a level that even bad filmmakers and painters can have a career might be one of the best defenses against fascism we have.

in the runup to the Ukraine war, US conservatives were jacking themselves off to footage of Russian VDV guys doing hand to hand combat. Then 90% of those guys were wiped out in the first day of the war because it turns out hand to hand combat isn't very important if they shoot your helicopter down

this attitude — paperwork is for sissies, real wars are won by Big Strong Men — is traditionally a harbinger of ruinous for defeat for everyone who holds it

a good bit of evidence that trump represents bona fide confederate government is that he keeps tripping every wire placed by the 14th amendment talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

FIU is a Division I university with an enrollment of 54,000. Its new president—the lieutenant governor who has no relevant experience—was installed by a secret plan initiated by the governor

This is incredibly clearheaded thinking during a turbulent, highly emotional time. Credit to @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, who clearly Gets It.

No compensation or anything for this, but if you do your own pool maintenance, please buy this product. It cut the time to scrub my pool by more than half. What a revelation!

Yes please!

Vice is responsible for The Proud Boys, Tim Pool, and a bunch of these guys. Amazing run

a way you can tell that most of the mainstream news organizations have been captured by explicitly pro-Trump forces is that they cover events from a more pro-Trump perspective than the Murdoch-owned but pro-corporate Wall Street Journal does.
