I think the fun thing about the latest John Oliver episode is that he’s mainstreaming what has been common discourse here for months, in that if you’re a government official/reporter/someone who considers themselves a non-Nazi then what the FUCK are you still doing on X?

You don’t defeat Nazi propaganda by going on Goebbels’s broadcast, you defeat it by storming the beaches of Normandy

As loud as I’ve heard Carver since Caitlin graduated. That was fun.

OBTW, your by-now regular reminder that winter storms do not have names.

No beer!! Carver was electric and so was Iowa’s defense. Thanks seniors. Go Hawks!!

You know it’s going well when that happens

Just playing SO well together. Excellent Hawks. 🏀 🖤💛👏

BUMP

This morning's exciting hockey posts once again proving Bluesky is the Sports App

I felt like the women were the better team in their final. I did not feel that until Hughes broke open. Werenski made a professional hockey play. Stole the puck and bought himself time with his body.

I’m so proud of these dudes whose social media content I will never, ever check

Dear NBC Olympic sports are awesome enough, even for casual fans. You don’t need more (or any) Snoop Dogg. Love iowaBear

GOLD!!!!!!! 🥇 🇺🇸

Connor Hellebuyck through 3 periods today: 40 saves 41 shots against .976 save % In the Olympics: 130 saves 136 shots against .956 save % Absolutely legendary performance by a legendary goalie. But will it end with a gold medal?

Cmon it’s a double you’ve got 4 min power play now is the time 🇺🇸

the US gets one shot off per possession that looks like a prayer while Canada is firing tactical missiles at Hellebuyck who has ascended into the realm of the gods.

Apple could make a new retro ipod nano and shit gold for a decade. Instead they’re doing AI capex plays nobody wants

Now my TL and even Tirico saying it, great

I can’t ever get away from a double doink, even during hockey.

5 on 3 power play YIKES

Will the next Intermission Report be Pokémon again? Asking for my son.

BOLDY, oh my. 🏒 🇺🇸

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trust-...

NEWS: NBC says the United States-Canada gold medal game was the most-watched women’s hockey game on record. The game averaged 5.3 million viewers on USA Network and Peacock. The game’s audience peaked at 7.7 million viewers in overtime (3:45-4 p.m. ET).

Sounds rough! I avoid this ever happening to me with One Weird Trick

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

21-13 for Heiden. 19 and 8 assists for Strem. 16 and 5 for Houston. Iowa to 12-3/21-5.

A W on the road, we’ll take it! 🖤💛🏀

There is nothing free about free throws, Hawks

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

The Cubs unveiled their 2026 slogan yesterday: #This And frankly, a lot of fans were asking "What is #This?!?" My latest has more: www.bleedcubbieblue.com/chicago-cubs...

When I left Tin Cup. He hit a persimmon 3-wood into a par 5 green and it backed up into the water, like he hit a spinning sand wedge, to lose.

Olympic highlight in this house.

Iowa Republicans are advancing several bills that would limit the powers of the governor’s office—potentially in anticipation of Democratic state Auditor Rob Sand winning November’s election to succeed retiring Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds

Since the troll column seems to have worked: The very very very very very very very obvious question is not "why hasn't the left embraced AI" but "why has the right so eagerly embraced a tech product built on theft, sold by fraud, and optimized for abuse and misinformation"

Mikaela Shiffrin wins gold in the 2026 #WinterOlympics, her first Olympic medal since 2018 🏅

Hawks win!? I wish I could have stayed up for it but crashed early. Good W over the Huskers!

H1 1:33 | Nebraska 21, Iowa 30 The #Hawkeyes are doing every thing they need to get this win tonight. They've shut down the Huskers three-point shooting (2-of-11) and are in the midst of a 13-2 run over the last four mintues.

🤣

Michigan men’s basketball is very legit this season. Wow

No surprises on the availability report for Iowa vs. Nebraska. Peyton McCollum remains out for season after injuring his foot in practice. He's taking a redshirt this season. Jarusevicius (1 GP) and Burt (0 GP) out for Nebraska as is Connor Essegian (7 GP).

Listen the man refused to pay for guac and got mad at his teammates for not washing their hands but he also put his young child in a maga shirt so let’s pump the brakes maybe

I thought we all learned from Biden that voters don't actually reward progressive legislation wins, and that the idea of deliverism was completely dead Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act Plenty got delivered. Didn't get rewarded.
