What if campaigns actually helped people? We tried it in IL-09. Then we put everything we learned into a free handbook:

Da Coach was not only an icon in Chicago, but the entire football world. Our thoughts are with Mike Ditka’s family, friends, and Bears fans today. May his memory be a blessing.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a high school basketball game. The home team is down 9 points, and some players are looking discouraged on the bench. The coach points to a player just out of frame and says, “flippers, you’re in!” Panel 2: the away team attempts a deep 2-point shot, possibly to beat the buzzer, which is blocked by Flippers, a whale who doesn’t even have his arms up. Panel 3: the game ends and the home team excitedly crowd around Flippers, who won them the game. A player from the away team looks stunned, with his hands on his head.

How many of you have played a five player magic game with the “Star” rules. It’s one of my favorites and I always thought it was pretty well known, but I’m realizing that it’s not actually very well documented online and maybe it’s just a holdover from my time as a kid.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

honestly the fact that nobody broke Case Keenum's career NCAA passing yardage record during the COVID + waiver eras of NCAA eligibility means it's probably going to stand forever. Dillon Gabriel had the best shot as a 5.5-ish year starter for 3 separate schools but came up 500 yards short

From a logical perspective this is dogwater. But it’s been clear imo for a while that the NFL is trying to cater the game presentation to an audience of 12-15 year old boys…and the ads for their dads just on the edge of hitting their parlay or blacking out

Destiny being unvaulted to save Bungie is not surprising, but the whole thing is still wild. Bungie choosing to shutter a game that has been in the top 100 of Steam charts for a literal decade was crazy but hearing it’s coming back somehow sounds crazier

Three panel comic. Panel 1: Genghis khan is sitting in a throne room. His advisor enters with a fruity drink in hand. The advisor proclaims, “Genghis Khan! I bring a gift from a faraway land!” Panel 2: he continues, “a ‘strawberry margarita.’” Genghis takes a delicate yet generous sip. Panel 3: Genghis and his advisor exchange smiles. Genghis says, “yeeooo that’s fire”

An exquisite choice.
A meme I made from John Wick Chapter 2 where he is asking for weapons. In the top image he says "I need something robust. Precise" and the man responds in the middle image "Robust. Precise..." And in the bottom image both of them are looking at a table in the middle, and I've edited two controllers onto it, both PS2 controllers, one is a yellow Spongebob contoller, and the other is Patrick Star.

I feel like these are the same people who claim they have to do the vilest things possible in game just because it’s there. I love Mass Effect games but there are terrible (villainous) choices I never make because even my ‘renegade’ self wouldn’t do them. Sometimes the game is the morality test
