The #UConn women are playing unreal defense tonight. They only allowed 3 points in Q3! 17 points through 3! 🤯🤯🤯 #wbb #ncaaw

Let me show you the difference between a $40 hoodie and a ~$100 hoodie. 🧵

Well well well, if it isn't the thing literally everyone whose brain is functioning properly saw coming.

A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

I was just looking at my son's 1st grade class photo and genuinely, he may be the best photographed kid of his class. He's looking straight at the camera and with a great big smile. And my heart just warmed up so much. Because honestly, it's sometimes hard to capture a nice photo of him...

Whatever you think of her, she is one of our most politically savvy politicians out there today, period.

That's what I'm saying! This is a LinkedIn brain rot, just on Twitter. I know a lot of us on the internet are irony poisoned but that parenting take was written in a way to communicate *real* beliefs even if the actual story didn't happen. Yes, she's really a sociopath on main.

Absolutely experiencing this as a parent right now! All I can say is that I'm having a rough time with some of this.

Sometimes there are some banger news articles, and this is definitely one of them. Love how this is written.

I just saw the 2026 GRAMMY nominees and...

Honestly, I'm down with YouTube TV if they don't bring back ESPN at this point...

Oh I HATE the new YouTube player. Wow. Take a look at this...what an accessibility nightmare

"What's the point of standards?" Oof.

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

I feel like there is an academic paper to be written by some musicology friends comparing these eras and looking at some of the sad casualties from the 2nd Red Scare (Paul Robeson comes to mind!) vs. how artists are quite united now it seems.

Of the historians, lawyers, and scholars I spoke to while writing this, many said the same thing: What's happening now is worth than McCarthyism. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Over the last 10 months, the federal government has cracked down on political expression with a persistence and viciousness reminiscent of some of the darkest periods of U.S. history. Welcome to the Third Red Scare.

In interviews w/ Black mediamakers for my forthcoming book the observation that “woke” was a new stand-in/scare word for “communist” came up a lot. I began those interviews in Jan 2021. This piece is important AND we have to acknowledge how much of the play book was already in play before Jan 2025.

Heads up: YouTube TV is giving a $20 credit to subscribers over the Disney/ESPN mess, but you have to actually go into the settings to claim it. This is not a spam tweet, the settings page link is here: tv.youtube.com/settings/ser...

welcome to bluesky. if the word "mapquest" means anything to you and/or you used it as a verb, you're in the right place

Omg I hadn't heard about this but she fucking *roasted* him 😆😆😆

@sarahpcphd.bsky.social sorry I wasn't able to properly catch up with you at the conference but it was good to see you!

it’s important to understand that Nate Silver’s entire consciousness is filtered through the lens of being a gross nerd his entire life. the opportunity to feel like he’s one of the cool kids is something he can’t pass up, it’s load-bearing for his dork psyche.

the pandemic really fucked him up. he had no expertise in public health, but felt like being a quant guy should make him an expert by default, and people not agreeing with him on that point just sent him into a bizarre radicalizing ego spiral.

Now that I started my new job today (wooooo!!!) I was finally able to clear out my LinkedIn of all of the job searching folks... ...and now that my feed isn't a hot mess, there's a surprising amount of good shitposting happening on there 😂

Sometimes I don't understand local economies. The town next to me with a population ~10,000 is constructing a new AutoZone. There are 3 already existing auto parts store WITHIN 500 FEET of this new AutoZone!!!

"All federal civil servants should enter Chapter 7, thus nuking their ability to ever hold a clearance again (I'm generalizing a bit but cmon now) so I can.........feel good?" Because I'm still not seeing a theory of victory here Bsky continues to not beat the allegations

Also, there's another thing I considered. IF they end the shutdown on a CR now though January, that may nullify Trump's plans to end mail in voting and the like, because states will be able to go the courts and say that it's an election year so they dont have the time to change their systems.

Super relevant 👇🏼

i suspect there’s some truth to this and also why we should be EXTREMELY skeptical that senate dems as currently constituted would ditch the filibuster should they ever have a trifecta again

This is the real guy to get angry at tbh.

Someone on the NH subreddit just yelled at me because I said I'd rather there be a moderate Dem in NH than anyone in the GOP because progressives get killed in statewide races... And this person admitted that they haven't voted in the primaries. Like what are we doing here folks?!

should dems have settled for the deal? no. is this really going to shape 2026 outside of activating the base to primary everyone who looks like a squish? i doubt it

No. They won't.

Sam is 💯 correct about this -someone who has lived in NH for ~27 years

Modern pickup trucks are really just giant family SUVs except that the groceries in the trunk get rained on.

My cynical view is that Dems were worried this could eventually get pinned on them later, and that they trust the Trump admin will continue to fuck it up in ways that won't swing support back their way (or that Dems will get credit for ending the shutdown) I don't agree though

I do think this is a big part of the reason why we're seeing movement. But this doesn't explain my two Senators (NH) reported to be on the side of stopping the shutdown because NH also has one of the lowest percentage of SNAP recipients.

This is crazyyyyy (but also good for the fans at the game!)

Not enough people are saying this tbh

The GOP claim that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown keeps being undermined by Trump, who is demanding they unilaterally end it by abolishing the filibuster. Trump says Republicans are being killed and he’s not wrong. They control the federal government.

Well deserved IMHO!

So I can agree with the idea that SMT is problematic. But I was commenting to a lot of people during #amsmt25 that SMT in particular has come A LONG WAY since my first one I attended in 2010. Yes, it has it's problems, but I do think many in the society (and in leadership) have been doing work

Everything else aside, did no one think that “we’re dissolving the Ethics Committee” would be the worst look?

“Having an ethics committee would open us up to legal liability” is one of the worst self-owns I can imagine

Reposting this on main re: AMS trying to dissolve the ethics committee bc it claimed it opened the org to legal liability. In corp the main role of the ethics office/r is to ensure compliance!

Sunday Thoughts: Jim Mora's done a truly unbelievable job at UConn, now 7-3 this year after beating Duke (no losses in regulation), a third bowl game in four years and the biggest crowd since 2013.

After reading the PC memo, I'd argue that there are a few other things that maybe is inappropriate for them to propose, but need to absolutely be considered. 1. The PC needs to be compensated for the additional time and changes to their schedules. AMS can afford this. 1/x

I had such a great #amsmt25 conference. It was so rejuvenating as always. Now that I'm headed back, can I complain about MSP's Terminal 2 food options because they are horrible!
