BREAKING: Auburn coach Bruce Pearl is retiring, a source tells CBS Sports. It's the second straight offseason CBB has had a high-profile preseason retirement (Tony Bennett at UVa in '24.) Pearl, 65, is coming off his second F4 w/ the Tigers. His son, Steven, will be named the full-time head coach.

He’s sincerely the dumbest man to ever occupy the office.

I will stop using Tylenol if it means the Epstein Files are released.

Cancellation of streaming services is picking up. For those looking to go back to physical media - I love that for you. We never fully quit! 🤟

How do the Badgers end up with 4th and 31? what had happened was...

Kirk Ferentz has evolved, sometimes begrudgingly, to fit the times. This is what happens when you don't.

Crockett: "If I had one issue with the Biden/Harris administration, it is the fact that they did not move forward and make sure that this man was put where he should've been put ... I never had a defended that had 34 convictions for felonies and did not spend one day in jail. Never in my life."

It only took 41 years. $AAPL

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

As someone who works in the hd truck industry, this is happening.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Pence: "State ownership of business is very common in China & Russia. Taking a percentage of sales of Nvidia, taking a percentage of stock of Intel is inconsistent w/ free market principles, and I think it's taken our country to a very perilous place and I think we need to resist that very strongly"

please ENJOY this clip of Mark Zuckerberg *just trying to answer a video call* with the new 'neural band' Meta is shilling and failing miserably during a live demo You get a prize if you can withstand all 1:42 of this youtu.be/D97ILdUbYww?...

Here’s what a Ball State University employee said that led to their termination:

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The FCC Chair saying “You can deal with Kimmel the easy way or the hard way” is the very definition of a chilling effect on speech, and a good indicator the First Amendment is a dead letter in the Trump regime. Free speech is dying in America and none of our free speech warriors seem to care

They are literally canceling all the comedians because the far-right regime doesn’t like them

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.

Imagine capitulating to a president that is so underwater that he doesn't even have 50% approval with white people as a white supremacist

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Mainstream media is so scared of someone without true power or any sort of backbone. It's insane. Bowing down to a wannabee dictator is becoming common place. Fucked up, man.

Some problems have been solved already but we insist on adding more shit that doesn't help and can only break.

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield is resigning from the ice cream company he started in 1978, saying the brand’s freedom to speak out on social issues has been stifled by parent company Unilever. Read more: https://bloom.bg/4gutK3R 📷: Lisa Lake/Getty Images

Wow, first time I've seen him underwater in this poll with white people. He has negative disapproval across every possible cohort.

The first time I saw Roy Hobbs hit that home run - it was beyond magical.

"We stand firmly on the principles of the U.S. Constitution, including the protection of free speech. HOWEVER, that right does not extend to speech that incites harm OR UNDERMINES THE DIGNITY OF OTHERS." Emphasis added because holy fuck

Pete Crow-Armstrong slugs his first home run since August 22, and only his second in the last 7 weeks, to put the Cubs up 4-0 in the 6th. That's his 29th homer of the year. If he hits one more in next 12 games, PCA will become only the 2nd Cub with a 30 HR/30 SB season, joining Sammy Sosa.

BIG TEN HISTORY AT KINNICK STADIUM! Due to Saturday night’s late kickoff, not too late to still check the Green Gazette at thegazette.com/sports and click “Digital Edition” at the top of the homepage.

Here’s my latest column. Thanks for reading. www.stormlake.com/stories/farm...?

Not that I’m on there to get it first hand but it seems like the journalists and pundits who stayed decided there literally is no line, the owner of the site who *every day* proves how fucking terrible he is can apparently do absolutely anything and they will shrug and scoff at the idea of leaving

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section. Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.

Now I am being silenced by the Washington Post for -- *checks notes* Lamenting America's acceptance of apathy towards political violence and gun deaths-- especially when the violence is encouraged and carried out by white men.

Where is Holly Rowe when you need an interview with Kirk?

Hi! I was homeless. That's me he wants to kill. If you don't know me, hi, I am pretty nice, I think. I'm a privacy lawyer. I drive a cute yellow Bronco. I do art. I have two really fluffy Maine coon cats. I volunteer at food banks when I can. This guy would have killed me for being homeless.

It's too bad some of us got burned out arguing on message boards for decades that we no longer feel like putting any effort into online discourse.

Honestly it seems to me that one of the most important tasks for modern parents is raising their kids to be mostly offline normies

AT UTAH FUCKING STATE UNIVERSITY We do not have to get on Al Gore's internet and pretend there's somehow some secret liberal radicalization project happening at Utah's ag college in Logan. Give me a break.

...because we are like that, and we've been like that for decades now.
