They’re going to make outlaws of all of us. We will all have to go to Canada to get our Tylenol and other sundry painkillers.

This is what I wrote 15 years ago after 83-20. Worth noting: 1) IU was competitive for more of that game than UofI last night; 2) IU attempted its last pass with 5 minutes left in Q3 last night while Bert was calling bombs late in Q4 in 2010. #iufb www.crimsonquarry.com/2010/11/13/1...

No. 19 Indiana's 63-10 win over No. 9 Illinois is the most lopsided win ever by a team outside the top 10 against a top 10 team per @sportradar. The previous high was No. 22 Kansas State's 48-0 win over No. 9 Oklahoma State 10/29/2022

Touchdown Indiana. Martin from eight yards out. There are some folks in this stadium tonight who remember 83-20, and I suspect they are enjoying themselves. #iufb

I'm sure this is all Eric Gordon's fault. #iufb

@zachosterman.bsky.social posted at 7:30 that we were 20 minutes from kickoff. I guess he was right

OH MY UCF

Respectfully disagree: 1) in fact it is unusual for a democracy w/ this level of GDP to turn authoritarian & so quickly; 2) the weakness of both institutions (congress & courts) and individuals (Schumer etc) is shocking. Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Notre Dame has its issues, football and otherwise, but it's great that this dickhead is someone else's problem.

Ezra Klein, watch this.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Boy, I was so certain those assurances Todd Young received were worth more than the paper they were printed on. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile

This article is way too kind to Frist. I assumed it was going to talk about how Frist's off-the-cuff misdiagnosis of Terri Schiavo was a precursor to MAGA, but no. Unfortunately, the horrors of Trump have let some forget how awful GWB, Jeb, and the rest of the GOP were during that whole affair.

Just imagine what is being saved for the book this week.

At this rate the TCU players should do a TD celebration where they recreate the Bill & Jordon beach pose!

Notre Dame's controller has its buttons all mismapped. Love can't stop jumping. Carr can't slide

Welp, no "no deficit until November" pressure this year.

this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.

Switching out Anthony Richardson for Daniel Jones does not really change the Colts' DVOA projections.

Incredible video

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless. But it raises a much darker question: What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?

Bluesky folks... can anyone help me figure out who this nice person is? This weekend, me eldest dropped their phone (in a waterproof pouch) in Wright's Lake, and we spent hours hunting the lake for it, only to find it at the ranger's the next day with this photo as the last photo added...

The hellish Sweeney news cycle is a helpful microcosm of how Dems simply can't win culture war fights - even if they see that the 'liberal' take is dumb & opt out. Or as I call it: “The left and the right are clashing over x. The left is an Oberlin sophomore and the right is the governor of Texas.”

What happened to Adeel Mangi is indefensible, but it's dumb that the usual suspects are taking this fascist's confirmation as an opportunity to yell at Dems and not the Rs who confirmed him. Bove has no ties to CA3. There is another opening on that court and on CA1. This would be happening anyway.

Afro-American Autobiography taught by Fred McElroy at IU in the mid-90s. In a department being abolished by Mike Braun. That class was formative for a kid who knew almost no Black people growing up. Eliminating such enlightening experiences is of course the statehouse Republicans' goal.

McAfee on ESPN vs this guy on Fox. I anticipate raking leaves.

RIP to former Chicago Cubs manager Lee Elia, who died Wednesday. His 1983 rant about Cubs fans, featuring 30 f-bombs in 3 minutes, is a classic.

A kid from 2025 in 1995 would be struck by people wearing neckties and (baggy) business suits everywhere. Fast food and big box store managers, teachers, etc. Also, cigarette smoke everywhere, tapes and CDs for music, a newspaper in every driveway, standard def TV.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

Stood in line behind the MAGA Baldwin brother at a Starbucks in Indianapolis.

Oof. Chotiner-ed by the Indy Star. www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

New York Democrats, man.

Hold serve at home and we're NBA champs Holy fuckin' shit.

FIFA probably should have talked to some Americans before putting their faith in the passion of Miami sports fans.

Best Thomas Bryant postseason game since this one?

Certainly not going to complain about iufb's dream season, but if this new system had been in effect last season, IU would have hosted Boise State and been favored, and would have played Oregon in the Rose Bowl if they beat Boise.

I do think we are going to miss Jim Irsay as we enter the era of sports owners who are cold pragmatic businessmen who only view the team as a portfolio project. Jim was one of the few remaining weirdos who actually clearly loved his team

Average IPA hater: I can’t believe all these people drink this stuff, I’m going to make arguments against this in my head because I’m upset Average IPA drinker: I’m going to enjoy this flavorful beer until it makes me fall off this stool

This is a very consultant-brain type of thinking bc swing voters aren’t “centrists” by any meaningful sense of the world. Their most salient ideological characteristics are, like, a general disinterest in “the news” and a loose and absolutely incoherent set of political beliefs

Cardinal Robert Prevost (center, blue shirt) visited the flagship @AureliosPizza location in Homewood in August with friends and family. Who could've imagined what would happen less than a year later! wgntv.com/news/robert-...
