I adore these contextual qualifiers. Actually, I adore most reporting that includes at least a passing nod to behavioral psychology, even if it's *only about Incentives. Immediately throwing them into my How to Talk to My Friends About CFB file.
Some more context to keep in mind:

    Few people inside a college football program building know their school’s exact numbers. And even if they do, many don’t feel comfortable sharing it, even anonymously.

    Even if they do talk to a reporter, coaches will often undersell their own budgets. This may be to temper fans’ expectations or to keep their players from asking for even more money.

    School administrators, on the other hand, have the opposite incentive. They want people to think their number is higher than it really is, which makes them look like great fundraisers.

    And in the background, seemingly everyone associated with a program loves to tell you how much their competitors have. This is especially the case if they believe a rival program has considerably more money than they do — so they can go back to their bosses or boosters and say, “See? We need more.” We examined their figures more skeptically when developing our estimates.

Not sure why this feels like the first time I've seen the number, but 62 new players is freshly mindblowing. via the most excellent and honorable Penn State blog Black Shoe Diaries... www.blackshoediaries.com/penn-state-f...
Penn State will be kicking off its 140th football season…The Nittany Lions will have 62 new players in 2026, including 40 transfers…Rocco Becht will be making his 40th career start, making him the most experienced quarterback in the nation…this will be only the third match-up between Penn State and Marshall, and the first since 1930.

Maybe it was contractual, maybe he didn't do much winning w/how he allowed the Netflix doc to be built... But in the end, it doesn't really matter much, b/c Mr. T's resonant personality shines throughout.
Mr. T interview with the Guardian:

Has he got much money left? “No. Let’s say I’m broke, because that sells better. People want to hear, he’s broke and he’s run out of money. It works better.” I tell him I don’t want to say it if it’s not true. He’s grinning. “You have no choice. I’m not going to open my wallet to you. See, if I’ve got God I’ve got all I need anyway. All I wanted to do is done – buy my mother a house and pretty dresses. I am complete. I. Am. Complete. All right brother, God bless you.”

Dang, I'm back and forth on this... This sounds good! 500 bones good?
dyson toothbrush description

The British engineering company, best known for reinventing vacuums, is entering oral care. It has developed an electric toothbrush that automatically flosses with jets of mouthwash while you brush. The device, called the Dyson CameraJet, scans your mouth 28 times per second and fires tiny bursts of liquid into tight spaces where plaque can settle. And importantly, the process is so subtle and imperceptible that it feels like regular brushing.

A well-researched and heavily linked article from former Wyoming wrestler @sameagan.bsky.social about last night's power spectacle at the White House. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
The sports product itself ended up being exemplary, including a major upset victory in the final bout by American Justin Gaethje over the heavily favored Topuria. But outside the octagon, advertisements for sports betting, crypto coins and sports betting platforms fueled by crypto coins, and artificial intelligence-generated military propaganda videos, along with heavyweight contender Josh Hokit’s postfight interview proclaiming that “Michelle Obama is a man,” all drew criticism online. (Even White criticized Hokit’s statement.)

I'm too tired to expand on this, but I love this part from the article
It’s not just that the primary “supe” villain Homelander is a narcissistic bully who demands the world worship him to fill the gaping emotional void inside himself. (remind you of a certain world leader?)

It’s also not just the way Homelander had gold statues of himself erected while throwing all of his political opponents into secret “black site” concentration camps (plotting that Kripke says was written years before Trump and his followers actually made these things reality.) Or the way in which those who worked the hardest to satisfy his whims and cement his rule wound up tossed aside the moment they had outlived their

Great gif for your post. Ice T had this great lyric back in 1991, in Original Gangster's Bitches 2 track. genius.com/Ice-t-bitche...
Ice T Lyrics from Bitches 2:
I knew this guy who was never that fly
Couldn't act cool even when he tried
When we played rough, he always cried
When he told stories, he always lied
A Black brother who was missin' the cool part
He had the color but was missin' the true heart
When we would fight he would always go down quick
So he took karate and he still got his ass kicked
But now he's married and he kicks his wife's ass
Says it comes from problems that he had in the past
Doesn't like Blacks, claims he's upper class
Joined the police, got himself a badge
Now he rolls the streets and he's out to jack
Doggin' young brothers 'cause they usually don't fight back
Got a White partner and he asked for that
And every night another head they crack
So now he's big man but he really ain't shit
