Kind of like the Trump capitulation in miniature. Even people who find them abhorrent still end up toeing the line.

Killed. NSF’s SBE was killed, in violation of law. The President does not have the power to choose to kill programs at a whim by defunding them. The imperial presidency was a mistake and we are in a separation of powers constitutional crisis.

Easily the worst Michigan O-line in a decade, maybe more. Michigan has all the skill players they need, but with this poor blocking, we're going to be lucky to get eight wins this year. A good offensive line would have ensured we closed out Iowa last week & would be winning now

UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City's punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter
They consider the Premier League's actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City's Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain

The 2020 election has been relentlessly studied by our most experienced experts and by our most craven partisan hacks for 6y now, and every examination has wound up demonstrating the integrity of Biden’s victory in that election and the malignity of Trump’s obsession with undermining it.

Hard agree on this. I would argue, in fact, that the reason it stopped so short was that politicians knew how many of them would have to face consequences and insured there was no lasting policy changes so that they could continue to largely escape consequences.

Palantir shifting from hiring only "Ivy or Ivy-equivalent" degrees to hiring only out of high school is an admission that "training" and "talent" were never factors at all. They were looking for packaging & prestige, and now they're looking for ignorance & impressionability.

Tech companies launching their own programs to train grads because they ‘can’t rely’ on Ivy Leagues
By Lydia Moynihan
Published Oct. 1, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ET

As the university system increasingly becomes a wildly expensive bastion of anti-Western sentiment, key figures in Silicon Valley are betting on alternatives to higher education. They argue that even the Ivy League is no longer producing the best candidates — nor are they even accepting some of the most qualified students.

“It used to be the case that you could rely on somebody who went to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent to be top notch,” said Jordan Hirsch, who runs Palantir’s semester-long intensive Meritocracy Fellowship, which accepts high school graduates.“But that’s not the case anymore… we suspected that there was a lot of talent being missed.”

No lies told here. Also, it's clear Ben Shapiro has lost his goddamn mind. A German neo-Nazi helping ISIS attack a small liberal college in the middle of Virginia? Man, I guess huffing helium all those years destroyed any brain cells capable of logical reasoning that Shapiro possessed.

“I want to speak directly to our care workers, you are not invisible to me”. The most powerful line in Burnham’s speech so far, especially because of the emotion with which it was delivered.

Clear break from neoliberalism from Burnham - since the 1980s, "the wealth [Labour] created for the many was seen as an opportunity for the few." "The right talk about taking back control - they were the ones that gave it away in the first place" (referring to water, elec, care etc.)

You gotta tip your cap to a true psycho, and Max Scherzer is an all-time baseball psycho.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

Possibly the most robbed team is actually Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. Without City's now-confirmed cheating, they'd have had a five year dynasty to speak about. This is bigger than one club being affected. It's Lance Armstrong-Tour de France levels.
