OKAY! HERE IS A THREAD ABOUT THE MONEY IN D-III COLEGE SPORTS. How it works, why it's VERY different from D-I/D-II, where FloSports fits in, the threat this lawsuit poses, the works. My Adderall hasn't totally hit the bloodstream yet but maybe some skeets will make writing my #blog easier later

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

This brought me a lot of joy so I’m sharing it here ❤️

Watching this thing suggests all over again that AI-generated art's central failing continues to be that the kinds of people who might use AI tools to make something interesting are the kinds of people who hate the supposed shortcut of using AI tools because they enjoy the work of making art.

It's funny how the Defenders of Western Civilization really want Odysseus to be this heroic patriarchal figure when he is canonically kind of a dirtbag.

My neighbor told me cats keep stealing his mail-in ballots so I asked how many ballots he has and he said he just calls the election office and gets a new ballot afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just giving mail-in ballots to cats and then his daughter started crying.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

I assume we all think we're Papi and that actually makes us all A-Rod.

Been reading about a lot of very bad but entirely ordinary people throughout history for the next season of Past Lives (Everyday Villains). This guy is utterly typical. 1) Doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. 2) Permission structure in a system of hierarchical authority. 3) Benefits materially.

@davidjroth.bsky.social the county Republican party (in Ohio) is in the same building that I work in, and I taped up part of your column to their door today, because you express your disgust much more civilly and coherently than I do, much thanks.

I’m working on Melvin Mora tonight. Not only is he in the Venezuelan baseball Hall of Fame, but also the team Halls of Fame for the Baltimore Orioles and Navegantes de Magallanes. Side note: the quintuplets turned 25 in July.

It turns out that choosing the lesser of two evils is, in fact, a moral imperative. And some folks want to wait for the Revolutionary Perfect, but I would equally challenge them to demonstrate a single time where a 'start from nothing, year-0' revolution has turned out well for most people.

Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!

youtubers, streamers, podcasters, etc are always on this beat bc they don't know how anything works & know that if they say something like this, their audiences will lap it up now & also 3 years later when they point to total gay commie revolution not happening and go "see? i was right!"

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

This is an honest answer from Vance. The central ethos of J.D. Vance is that he holds no beliefs or convictions of any kind whatsoever. He says he does when it's useful for him to say he does but he really doesn't care about anything beyond his own personal success. bsky.app/profile/atru...

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

At some point, Maryland will finally learn that recruiting and coaching are two entirely unrelated skillsets. Is today that day? We'll see.
