my take on this remains consistent: far more americans are bigoted on this front than I'd like, but transphobia is a luxury belief it's the kind of thing you can get people mad about if and only if they don't have real problems to worry about, and there is no shortage of real problems right now

Fascinating tidbit in this interview with former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont), he says that Texas Republicans anti-transgender ads aren't "resonating." "What Republicans are talking about is just not what the swing voter is really interested in." www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

OMG she is brutally bad at this

This offense is structurally broken from a schematic perspective. We do not keep anyone honest. Iowa was fools good because they ideologically believe in remaining honest at all costs. Any team that can watch film and is willing to be reckless can hold us to 3.5 YPP

I think live streaming an execution is the sign of a deeply sick society

Ossoff is a moderate and not a guy I would support in the 28 primary but he’s absolutely got it right here. “Hey my opponent and his party are fucking racists” yes dude get their ass

Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

More Democrats should just be centering all their comments on these ghouls by using their names and applying descriptors like they’re racist, fascist, unwell, incompetent in their response to every question

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

Order your police commissioner to arrest the ice agents responsible or shut the fuck up

It’s kinda funny to hear from the pod save world how destructive woke 1 was. Bro I was listening to both you and Chapo back in 2016/17 and one of you was doing woke 1 and it wasn’t Felix Biederman

love that the nazi investigation consists of 7 of the best academic institutions in the world and also a sun bowl matchup

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

The biggest criticism I see of this from the liberal Zionist side is that it’s improper to talk about Gaza on the anniversary of 10/7 which is totally ridiculous. The two are inseparable. We live in a world where context exists and it would be insane not to speak of the victims in Gaza today.

We really just need to start treating people like this as racists. We need to stop taking their concerns in good faith. If your identity makes it uncomfortable for you to vote for a Muslim who’s anti-genocide that’s your prerogative but find a new political party because youre not a liberal anymore

Jewish Democratic Mayor ‘Uncomfortable’ With Abdul El-Sayed, Won’t Vote For Him

Classic PR blunder. You can simply ignore an issue until it goes away

@maizeandjew.bsky.social · last wk.

Why did he even say anything😭 he could’ve just done nothing and say it was AI lmao

I think it’s awesome how much more serious our program was under Sherrone moore

Damn yeah that’s crazy that being hated by the political establishment is good that’s wild

"I'm not saying El-Sayed is the Democratic Trump. Not by a long shot and not for a thousand reasons. But his anti-establishment credentials protect him against attacks the same way Trump’s did for years." ICYMI @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social:

Normally it’s really stupid to fire a coach after one year but Whitt 1. Is 67 and was never gonna be here more than 3 years 2. Was hired by a lame duck AD 3. Is staring down the barrel of a 6-6 season and a prove it year 4. Is in a new program/state for the first time in his life

How bad does Whitt want to keep doing this at 67. I get the vibe that he thought this would be a nice fun retirement gig and now he’s getting yelled at constantly

I know a lot of you will say “hey aren’t you the guy that always wants to fire coaches?” A. Yes B. I’ve never been wrong C. When the value proposition was “I’m the adult in the room” and this is what it looks like I think we’ve seen enough here

All they had to do was tag the run game that’s worked for 5 years with some RPOs and QB runs and chuck the ball to their two studs every once in a while. Does being Michigan’s offensive coordinator just make you stupid? Why can’t anything be easy?

I just want Michigan to be good at offense. I am going on 15 years of fandom here I’ve seen 13 good defenses and like 2.5 good offenses. It can’t be this fucking hard. There are good players on this team!!!

Great thread. Beck has completely fucked the offense in a way I really did not even imagine he’d be able to

Space Coyote@spacecoyote.bsky.social · 2w ago

Ok, Michigan rant. Go ahead and put in the paper that I am mad. This is not a low talent O. They have 2 All-B1G caliber WRs. A draftable RB and a back up that while young has clear athletic ability/ talent. An OL that even with injuries probably has more talent than LY and is pass protecting better

Every time they run right at a team they move then and every time they try to run jet motion it’s mega tackled for a gain of 1 by every player on the defense

Brian Cook, the mgoblog guy@mgoblog.bsky.social · 2w ago

I do not understand why Michigan saw the first three runs, all mashing vertical ones, and has refused to just run duo at these guys until they stop it.

A criticism I had of Utah’s offense coming into the year was that it’s very gimmicky. It feels the same way this year but with personnel that doesn’t fit. Even when it’s looked good it’s not because of stuff that’s in the offense it’s because of them doing stuff he’s not really used to doing

No today they sucked ass comprehensively

Noble Prize in Sarcasm@nobleprize.bsky.social · 2w ago

The last two games the team has been completely snakebit Absurd INTs, special teams fiascos, screwed on field position The good news is the defense is damn good when not making stupid penalties

Last week I preached patience this week I’m out. It can’t ever look that bad. That’s just not acceptable. Minnesota is not that good

The offense is bad in a way that defies comprehension. I genuinely cannot believe how bad this shit is and how mad I’m getting at these fucking losers

Alright rooting for the W vs msu but lose the rest. Miss a bowl, Whitt can go into the sunset, and the new AD can hire their own guy

There was not a single play where Bryce was asked to read the middle of the field. Minnesota was sitting on the out routes all day. What the fuck was the point of any of that man holy shit

This team looks like it’s coached by a 70 year old who’s totally checked out

That’s the worst offensive game I’ve ever seen called. Beck seems unaware that he can throw to the middle of the field. Bryce was awful. I don’t get it man. There’s no reason they should be this bad

Worst offensively called drive I’ve ever seen
