the best distillation I’ve ever seen of my biggest problem with issue polling. A lot of positions are softly held and downstream of other principles/preferences! If you try to match the positions instead of what motivates the positions, you lose ppl who disagree but don’t win those who agree!

Kinda think that the NBA Cup courts should just be the City Edition courts with a Cup logo at center court, similar to how the NBA Finals courts were/are done #NBAsky

Ooo, this is fascinating

For the love of sports can we please get these people out of office?!

Is that Dell Curry I hear on Prime? And Eric Collins?! Oh hell yes! #NBAsky

Thune is about to make Schumer look smart; what a country we live in

Southeast Asian Religions, and the History of American Music were the two most interesting classes I've ever taken, and neither has a damn thing to do with my degree path of engineering and technology—and not for nothing, but the fact that neither had any math or physics was a nice way to "relax"

The customer model, like 95% of the problems in US higher ed, is downstream of high prices and the insufficient state-level funding that produces them

Also 👇🎯💯. Kevin's written before: if we're applying the customer model to higher ed, the <employers> are the customers, & the students are the <product>. But let's simply not do this & instead educate students. Look around. The case for more, not less, liberal arts education is greater than ever.

YOUR STUDENTS ARE NOT YOUR CUSTOMERS. Get the fuck out of education if that's the way you're talking about them.

I need this cat to win

Eagles-Chargers is drunk 5 turnovers in 11 plays WTAF

Eat shit Notre Dame

It is genuinely weird that they are 100/100 at Missing The Point when it comes to the fiction they claim to worship because they are not (fully) literal-minded people—they understand metaphor and analogy and the like—but literary analysis is seemingly beyond them

This is going to amuse me all day

I'm sorry but a country where the legislature sells jerk seasoning as gift shop tat is not one where the engines of multiculturalism can be rolled back to 1948

I'm sorry, they sell what now?! 🤣🤣🤣 Oh, that's just fucking amazing. Jamaica stay winning

So he's basically guaranteed to get this next year if he plays... Would make for an interesting farewell tour

Texans defense is a pack of wolves on the hunt

You've got to catch that ball if you're Rice. You just *have* to

Thunder just *avalanche* teams, and are moving to 23-1—good gods #NBAsky

Something brutally funny about seeing this as I look at job openings at Japanese and German car manufacturing plants in the South

It's largely lost today because we've allowed constitutional law to become the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but the original idea of written constitutionalism was partly one of public education, publicity, & (proto-)democracy—people should be able to read & come to know the law which binds them

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

JD is such a tedious MFer

again, it is just arrogance. “there is one true meaning of the constitution and it can only be derived by a special caste of lawyers with a special interpretative lens and once discovered it is binding.”

Bengals-Bills is Proper Football, by which I mean the weather is bad, the ball is slippery, running is really stumbling and sliding, and this stupid sport looks just as awkward and silly to play as it really is Great game, love this sport

Congrats to Lando Norris; held it together over the course of the season, drove well today, and got the job done.

That's a fucked up call by Crofty "Papaya Rules" C'mon man

I feel for Piastri man

Mclaren need Piastri to get into Verstappen's pit window and Norris needs to pick it TF up

Got the news yesterday I passed my FE exam I am regretting celebrating. Post-30 hangovers suuuuuuuuck

Fellow HOW ITS MADE heads will know that anything made in relatively small volumes has a janky and handmade workflow even if it's very high tech and if you want to see some real sicko industrial full automation you need to see how they make extremely high volume boring shit like nails.

How it’s made is: *slaps giant industrial machine system* this bad boy will crank out 150k paper clips every 15 minutes Vs Hans here is building a unique cuckoo clock. It will take him 20 days and it will be intricate as hell and look hideous. It costs $500.

I stg it would do a world of good if more people took factory tours and came to understood the below

in a time where corporations trying to milk everything for cash is ruining everything, we still somehow have to explain to future generations how all the best English language cartoons of the 80s existed because Mattel wanted to sell toy figurines

Leclerc trying to make this interesting

Norris didn't fight him for it but that's a good move from Piastri

UNC hires Belichick and Duke wins the ACC Life is rarely this sweet

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

This is good. This is very good.

There's a whole lot of Revenge to The Arrow And it's funny seeing the guy that plays Uncle Phil on Bel-Air in another role

Developed countries with healthy manufacturing sectors like Japan or S Korea or for that matter China aren't shuttering half the universities in their country.

Just went down the rabbit-hole of Jeep's current lineup and WTF are they doing over there?

"Purity test' is bullshit. Challenges to politicians on major issues, including foreign policy, acceptance of corporate money, and failure to keep ICE out of cities—these are not puritanical attacks on their lifestyles," writes @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2039...

Conference loyalties forcing me to want UNC to win against Texas, bleh #wcbb

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

What fresh hell...Douthat on hip-hop *anything* is a purge-it-with-fire level of absolutely-tf-not

USPS has a cost, not a loss Also, gonna call BS on Amazon doing last mile in the middle of West Bubblefuck, Nebraska
