Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

Giving Chad Tracy the full-time job was the only move.

The #RedSox today announced that they have exercised the club’s 2029 and 2030 contract options on Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow and named Chad Tracy the team’s 49th manager in club history, agreeing to a three-year contract that will run through the 2029 season with a club option in 2030.

The Boston Red Sox today announced that they have exercised the club’s 2029 and 2030 contract options on Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow and named Chad Tracy the team’s 49th manager in club history, agreeing to a three-year contract that will run through the 2029 season with a club option in 2030. “Craig and Chad are two exceptionally talented leaders who have earned these opportunities in very different ways,” said Red Sox President & CEO Sam Kennedy. “Over the last three years, we have watched Craig bring clarity, discipline, and conviction to the work of building our baseball operation. Chad was asked to step into a difficult situation with little notice, but the trust he immediately commanded at the major league level was earned through years of work across our organization. What this team has accomplished over the past several months has been historic. Results matter greatly in this business, but so do judgment, character, and the ability to bring out the best in others. Craig and Chad have demonstrated all of those qualities, and they have earned our confidence in leading us forward.”

"FEMA provides most residential flood insurance in the United States. The agency will pay homeowners after a house collapses, but not before. That means owners stand to lose tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars by tearing down a doomed house before the ocean takes it."

Waterfront homes are collapsing along the coast. Homeowners generally have plenty of warning before their house buckles. So why aren't most houses removed, or at least emptied, before they fall? n.pr/4xwLZN7

I was in court for a speeding ticket on 9/11. The first plane hit when I was driving from the courthouse to school. I just remember everyone was panicked when I walked into art class and I had no idea why.

Rest easy to the great Wendell Berry. He challenged us to think differently about living a fast, technologically complex life. He probably wouldn’t have loved me posting this on social media. Time for me to touch grass. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/31/u...

Listened to this Brandon Flowers country record, and it really highlights the problem with artists from other genres cosplaying country: Many of them don't have the voice for it.

I don't think "neutral" is accurate. Most public figures try to stay neutral. There's nothing special about that. Dolly was different. She said that her politics were simple: "love and acceptance." That's not passive neutrality. It's the conviction of active, courageous inclusion and invitation.

"At a time when no American celebrity seems immune from the country’s many divisions, Dolly Parton was a crossover icon who stayed neutral in the culture wars while still speaking her mind," writes Zachary B. Wolf. | Analysis
