"Go rack up 200 yards in penalties during today's game." "Go Gators!"

The beginning of the iconic "Go write the Great American Novel" "Go to Mars" University of Florida institutional advertisement from 20 years ago. The back of a white man with brown hair in a blue shirt says "Go Gators" to a Black man in a white dress shirt and pink and navy tie.

Co-Star for 9/25

YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE
Make procrastinating part of your process.
Stop apologizing for needing time. Your hesitation isn't weakness-it's your system gathering what it needs.
The guilt drains more than the delay ever could.

The "iced coffee at an interview" thing is driving me insane because apparently it's lost cultural knowledge that you're not supposed to be eating or drinking when conducting a certain level of serious business with another person.

Chris “OH NO! DISASTER! WHAT A BAD IDEA!” Dobbertean @bracketdobber.net · 25/09/2026

If this ratio is driving no. 1, I’ll allow it, since it’s a deranged take.

Kai Ryssdal
@kairyssdal.bsky.social
I'm sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you're disqualified. It's not hard, people.

I remember when journalism was more than sifting through the social media accounts someone follows looking for athletes and fantasy authors you don't personally like.

Go to hell, Daily Kos commenter.

Not sure this will have the impact you hope it will. Coyote Vs. Acme bombed. A hit with social media crowds, especially Bluesky, but that's not always a reflection of the general public.

Who says the Republican Party doesn’t have a big tent?

Danielle Carter-Walters, Black woman running for Mayor of Chicago, wearing a “CHICAGO FLIPS RED” t-shirt and “MAKE CHICAGO UNCORRUPT AGAIN” hat

Danielle Carter-Walters
The wife of a retired Chicago police officer, Carter-Walters is the founder of her own physical fitness business, offering personal training, equipment and supplements. She also the co-founder and vice-president of
"Chicago Flips Red," a conservative group that seeks to elect Republicans in deep blue Chicago. An ardent supporter of Trump, Carter-Walters has been an outspoken critic of Chicago's sanctuary city ordinance. She has testified before Congressional committees about the harm that she believes those policies and the influx of migrants have done to the city. She has also advocated for calling in the National Guard to combat violent crime in Chicago.

John Kelly, a white guy who looks too mean for Trump’s DHS

John Kelly
A veteran lobbyist in Chicago and Springfield, Kelly, 53, is the consummate political insider. For nearly three decades, he has lobbied on behalf of clout-heavy clients that do business with City Hall - the same people and companies he would have to deal with and say no to if he's elected mayor. He represents the White Sox and the United Center co-owned by the Wirtz and Reinsdorf families. He also co-owns a security company with Sox Chair Jerry Reinsdorf. If elected mayor, Kelly insists that his "number one guiding principle I will have is, 'Is this a good deal for the taxpayers?' Because they're going to be my client the day I get elected." If his lobbying clients want something that's contrary to the city's interests, Kelly says he would be "happy to tell them no." With nearly $2.2 million in the bank and a law-and-order message to rival Mendoza's, Kelly is targeting the 22% of Chicago voters who supported President Donald Trump
