Can't make it up.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

thinking about Barry Sanders’ 1988 game log, staring blankly into the middle distance for a long time

Yeah I don't love 'what's wrong with kids these days' talk, but especially during the summer, this was how it went. Sometimes we'd have daylong Madden tournaments at someone's house, but there was a lot of roaming the woods, river fishing, paintball games, exploring the abandoned steel mill, etc.

The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.

My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

"It's OK to Be White" has been a slogan for literal Nazis for some time now, if you want to know where the Republican Party is at the moment

you give me and the fellas 24 ice cold high life bottles and we’ll come up with 8-12 new must see Winter Olympics sports, I know that

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

And outside of two years of Kurt Warner and two years of Carson Palmer, he did it with a bunch of absolute nobodies throwing him the ball.

Dems should be explicit that when they retake Congress and the White House they will be stripping his name off of everything. The ego damage would be significant

100% correct.

Between Pam Bondi's ransom note to Tim Walz and the FBI raid in Fulton County yesterday, we are watching the entire federal law enforcement apparatus reorganize itself around the work of legitimizing Trump's demented stolen election conspiracy theories. Nasty, nasty work.

Hail to Pitt.

Can confirm, been using FreeTaxUSA for years. Screw TurboTax.

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

Our government's atrocities are bringing together Bears fans and Packers fans.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

They are executing unarmed people in the streets for trying to protect their neighbors with the full support of the federal government.

Christ almighty.

I for one would appreciate more existential dread at press conferences. "My administration has cut red tape and worked to ensure that government moves at the speed of business. And I want you to hear me on this: Despair is the sickness unto death. Its torment is precisely the inability to die."

This is why I love college sports. The Indiana marching band playing the LOTR Isengard theme on defense is cooler than anything you'll get on a stadium PA. Elevates the moment.

Honestly might be the most incredible story in college football history.

By far.

every crisis happening right now is because theres dumb fuck sociopaths in charge and they did something stupid, it’s maddening

Probably the most precise moment we’ve ever been able to collectively pinpoint from the other side of the world that a Pope is cussing

Hell yeah

Why are we clutching pearls at "fuck" but not at government kidnappings and murder? Fuck that shit.

Huge.

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone. And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

When we say "explicitly neo-Nazi" we mean channels that fly swastikas and praise Hitler. That's the zone of internet where DHS is apparently finding inspiration for their X posts. It's ultra unlikely they would have ever encountered that song if they weren't in that space, imo.

DHS Used Neo-Nazi Anthem for Recruitment After Fatal Minneapolis ICE Shooting theintercept.com/2026/01/13/d...

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

19 years, 200+ wins, a Super Bowl ring, and not a single losing season. What a legacy. Thanks, Coach.

I remember watching this Four Overtime game between Akron and Indiana just two years ago. Now the Hoosiers are playing for a National Championship. Incredible.

“Miami will likely be an underdog against Indiana for the national title,” he said, pouring himself a pint glass of pure ketamine

This is the most bloodthirsty college football team I've ever seen lmao

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM

Yeah this is bullshit.

i firmly believe — like you would have to give me hard evidence to convince me otherwise — that they feed trump a steady diet of AI slop

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

trump did january 6th. republicans did january 6th. violent traitors did january 6th. they stormed the capitol, destroyed the building and threatened to kill members of congress. ashli babbitt was a violent insurrectionist. the capitol police protected people. these are truths we need to repeat.

the only good AI is dead AI, this is a Butlerian Jihad account

hey you guys remember when the US Supreme Court said Donald Trump gets to avoid justice for crimes in the United States because he did them while living in a palace in Washington DC
