Does this mean we finally find out what happened with Mark Sanford?

McGill is hiring scholars from outside Canada! The Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (Impact+) Program is designed to attract world-leading researchers whose work addresses critical national and global challenges. Review of applications begins 1/16/26. www.mcgill.ca/research/res...

Can't believe Bari Weiss called the refs and said the MAGA quarterback had to win.

The refs are taking a LONG time to decide who wins the DET v PIT game.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

That Gainwell touchdown is one of the weirdest I've ever seen.

This is a lesson to college teams in the transfer portal era. Texas A&M had 9 seniors and several of their players played on the same club team in high school. Continuity matters.

Texas A&M wins the women's volleyball national championship

Imagine in back-to-back-to-back-to-back games taking down #2 Louisville #1 Nebraska #1 Pitt #1 Kentucky Hell of a run

A&M sweeps Kentucky for their first volleyball national championship! Absolute incredible post-season for the Aggies. Defeated undefeated Nebraska in round of 8, swept Pitt in semi, and dominated the final!!

Aggies win a sweep!!!! Incredible!

Texas A&M Nebraska 🤝 We're a volleyball school now

Not even close. A&M wins 25-15 Kentucky hit negative in set 2. They gotta regroup and plan for a reverse sweep

A&M takes the second set 25-15, up 2 sets to love on Kentucky. But UT and Wisconsin fans will note that you can’t count Kentucky out, even at this point in the game.

The Aggies are up 2-0. Kentucky will have to reverse sweep to win the championship. Texas A&M looks unstoppable right now.

Texas A&M takes the first set!!!!

A&M’s Lednicky looks like a tall Aly Raisman to me, especially when her hair is pulled back

Note for non-volleyball fans: those straight serves that don't look very tough are called float serves. They have no spin and behave like a knuckleball in baseball. So, they are much harder to handle than you would think.

The college volleyball championship game is about to begin and KU volleyball coach Matt Ulmer is singing the national anthem!

In the 2016 campaign for President, I said that Trump going on Alex Jones' show was a gigantic red flag and, on its own, wholly disqualifying for a presidential candidate. Conspiracy theories are destroying America.

Is this bad? Seems bad.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

Already unacceptable to use LLMs to draft filings and even worse, if you do, not to have checked the citations. But if you ARE going to do that, why of all LLMs out there would you use *GROK*?

RIP to Ziggy Sobotka.

I'm sure this won't be a problem with Hegseth integrating these systems into our military.

please let “bugs bunnying” become the slang for manipulating an LLM into ignoring its guardrails, i have never seen a more succinct and evocative term for it

Calling the AI bubble a "super-cycle" is LOL.

Just like James Madison in the War of 1812, JMU is outmatched in this battle.

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Ireland has an odd list of acceptable witnesses for a citizenship application. Who knew dentists had such powers?

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Question: When the head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights division tweets out a false statement about an individual that results in them being barraged with death threats based on their religion and ethnicity, which governmental agency would look into whether that student’s Civil Rights had been infringed?

I'm just gonna say it. English has too many words.

Masterdebaters

It's a shame that the conspiracy theorists have become Trumpists. They had been waiting their whole life for a coverup this obvious and insane.

Big, if true

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

Here's a quilt of Volume 4 of the Epstein document dump. Gives you a 10,000 foot view of the redactions. that's 2,704 docs.

Lolita is an astounding work of art using an unreliable narrator to utterly condemn adults who are sexually attracted to children. But pedophiles absolutely love it. It's like techbros misunderstanding dystopian science fiction.

Based on my observed data in Lawrence, KS, college athletes eat 100% of their meals at Chipotle.

Vince Gilligan's Pluribus reminds me of David Milch making John from Cincinnati after Deadwood. Both follow-ups had interesting ideas and fun moments. But, they seem overly-indulgent and desparately in need of a second set of critical eyes.

It's worth reading through the whole thing, not just these horrific excerpts. Most important: not a single person -- with the exception of a guy who says he'll turn on CNN if he's out of other options -- gets their news from actual journalists. It's all RW podcasts, YouTubers and TikTok.

Oh my god I was right

There is rape culture and then there is RAPE CULTURE

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply. This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable. The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion. Release the files. Immediately.

I read through these (more in the comments) and hoped maybe this was some cheeky lefty publication that went looking for the most extremist nuts they could find to make the right look bad. Nope. It’s City Journal, published by the far right Manhattan Institute. Horrifying.
