the LDS Church did not allow black priests, opposed interracial marriage, supported racial segregation in its communities and church schools & taught that righteous Black people would be made white after death until 1978 unsurprising they're making a big PR push during the Nazi revival

DAME TIME... FOR THE THIRD TIME ⌚ He is now a 3x Champion of the State Farm NBA 3-Point Contest 🏆

3x State Farm NBA 3-Point Contest Champion Dame Lillard's FINAL ROUND🔥🎯🏆

Damian Lillard returns to an NBA court for the first time IN NEARLY A YEAR and wins the 3-point contest ‼️ He is now the third three-time winner of the contest in NBA history, after Larry Bird and Craig Hodges.

Took my one chance to cheer on Dame to the max and he delivered, it was nice feeling the exhilaration of Dame Time again!

There’s an NIU name I hadn’t heard in awhile!

Amazing work! If I had TikTok, which I never will, that would be an immediate follow. Geoguessing dialects, fascinating!

So many folks who thought Born in the USA was a pro-America song are suddenly worried about not understanding lyrics.

I avoided a Bears Seahawks playoff game this season but I’ll probably have to atone for my sport’s bigamy in the next few seasons

The Rainiers are flowing freely tonight!

K9 MVP

I had 15-6. That’s out the window, and GOOD.

Hell yeah Sleigh Bells

So their last FCS game was a home playoff loss to Illinois State. Don’t think NIU will have much luck against them any time soon.

Go HAWKS! #twinpeaks #palmerhouse

They're calling the Super Bowl a must-win game and frankly they're correct.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love grew up in Chicago. Jarrett Payton asked him a question at Super Bowl media night, and Love recalled a memory of Jarrett talking to his Pee Wee football team around the age of 9. (video via Jarrett Payton @paytonsun on Instagram/ @paytonsun.bsky.social)

Absolutely incredible things happening in @ericdharvey.com’s 1974 playlist.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

So much hair on tonight’s Westminster group winners

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

If I hadn't started with the bottom right I could've filled this with favorites AND a low rarity. Someone I named my Boston Terrier "Poppy" after would've been perfect. Oh well. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 1035 9/9: Rarity: 13 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 ➡️ See my grid: www.sports-reference.com/immaculate-g...

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Being an FBI agent wasn’t a job to former Bear Charles Tillman as much as it was a vocation. He loved the people he worked with and found honor, integrity and nobility in their service. Then came that day last January. My story. www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

The proof that Ilhan Omar’s “attack” was OBVIOUSLY STAGED was when her security team huddled down out of her way so she could raise a fist in front of a flag and shout “Fight! fight! Fight!”

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

Whatever they accuse, they are likely guilty of. Taking this as confirmation that Butler was staged.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

By my friend, the amazing cartoonist @mikedawson.bsky.social Part of a longer story. You need to follow him.

Seahawks officially won the Russ trade

ok friends, time to party

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

we actually need to band together and let the dems know we will never donate another cent or vote for the party again if a single member of the party votes to give a single cent to ice ever again

56 years ago today Grateful Dead played Honolulu and Dave Picked it for #19 in his series. I don’t have a copy, but am reminded that I underutilize the Relisten app BIG TIME. Sounds great. relisten.net/grateful-dea...

I know he's under contract, but I didn't even consider until reading this skeet that the Bears are likely a much more attractive free agent destination than they were just a year ago. That's exciting!

48 years ago today…let’s crank the Grateful Dead from McArthur Court in Eugene, Oregon

LOL, I have an Adewale Ogunleye Bears jersey. Antwaan Randle-El big timing his alma mater?

Use code WWIII and receive a $500 bonus when you bet on the fate of Greenland with DraftKings

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Had to cut League Pass for budget reasons this year, feels so good able to watch the Blazers with Kevin & Lamar and enjoy the high quality broadcast the team has.

Seemed like more dropped passes than normal, presumably because of the cold. “Bear Weather” isn’t a thing any more in the modern game, wondering how many Bears fans may be more open to a stadium with a roof with that in mind.

Holy shit, it’s a League Pass preview window, Go Blazers!

Bunch of oldheads gonna be saying “same old Bears”. Nope. They’re here. They’re ahead of schedule. Fun season! Bear Down!
