I’d missed this tidbit about Yale. Not a good sign. Gregg’s thread nicely lays out what’s going on and why people are concerned about it. One possibility for why they’re so eager to reach an agreement with the government: bsky.app/profile/mbkp...
Gregg Gonsalves@gregggonsalves.bsky.social · 3d agoNow Yale has engaged the same law firm that was brought under scrutiny for its deal-making between Trump and UVA to negotiate for Yale. Shady at the very least. 4/ www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...
Buckle up friends, next week I am going to talk about my scholarship for a minute Not soccer Not feuds with British people Not lady stuff Hard law, block me now
I feel good, like very good, that the Europeans squashed Infantino's FIFA/Kushner corruption plans. I am mad that our institutions didn't do better. Imagine the no that might have been and still could be. A word so easy, every one yr old has it at the tip of their tongue

Me thinking back to my college classmates in Boston who asked if I rode a cow to high school. Hell, yeah! I lied back then. I'm riding one right now. These babies go up to 60 miles an hour

Entirely voluntary??? Entirely voluntary? Go to heck, CNN/FIFA/World Cup
CNN@cnn.com · 2w agoThe world’s biggest sports tournament leaves behind something many fans know all too well: the “sports fan’s blues.” It’s the inevitable emotional comedown that mental health experts say follows weeks of intense, entirely voluntary stress. https://cnn.it/3R3LR8M
I see the August header shading through this week’s day planner pages and I reject this, no thank you, wait another week you pushy bastard
Just so sad. Such good parents, such a fucked up state, and a kid who just couldnt see the way through. And now justice that cant be done May was the remaining plaintiff in a lawsuit against a bathroom ban. Graduation ends the suit. When she died, Idaho Attorney General declared victory.
Mike Hixenbaugh@mikehixenbaugh.com · 3w agoA father in Idaho, speaking to police after his child died by suicide: “There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids. The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.” Please read this important story by @joyurcaba.bsky.social
Just beautiful beautiful evenings this summer in the ATX. I dont know what we did to deserve this but I will be on a patio doing my part to enjoy it
Getting uncivil (per my spouse). I want that golden boot for him
Liz Sepper@lsepper.bsky.social · 3w agoMy French spouse declared this morning that it would be "impolite" for Mbappe to score which cracked me up
France deeply committed to the argument that this game doesn’t matter.

I am at &Juliet and can't stop grinning. It is like someone opened my brain and played it. It is not a good musical but it is so great
This Day in Labor History: July 16, 1931. A white mob murdered the black sharecropper organizer Ralph Gray in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. Let's talk about communist organizing in rural Alabama and the white violence used to crush it!
Both these teams are so unappealing. But I feel sympathy for the keeper

"Although its reverential character notoriously compromises accuracy, the hagiography can be worth reading as a window into the worldview of believers. And that’s the value of Mollie Hemingway’s remarkably uncritical new biography."
Saint Alito | Los Angeles Review of Books
Mollie Hemingway offers up an uncritical biography of Justice Samuel Alito, the Supreme Court’s most conservative jurist.

"He has brought pride back to America, especially in the heartland" 🤮 How about elderly men on the east coast stop projecting onto us real Americans in the, suppresses gag reflex, heartland? Ain't no pride in Trump here
Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · 3w agoThis column is hilarious, he's mad women judge him for being a stupid asshole, then says he wants a "middle ground" while barfing up a litany of MAGA delusions that indicate such is impossible: open borders, the Biden admin's COVID "disinformation," "wokefulness," "gender ideologies," the works.
Seriously???? Stopping the play? Because a defender went down on a France play???
Wow, this is wild. Feels like FIFA making sure Argentina moves ahead
