Is the anything to the University of Oklahoma story beyond the obvious? Right wing students grabs opportunity for publicity, administrators react with abject cowardice, an academic career is destroyed?

Hey I have an almost 25 yo blog with a community I just described as "one of the most loathesome, miserable, no good groups of foul-mouthed misanthropic miscreants and ne’er-do-wells to ever congeal together in a sump basin in this online sewer." Come join us. balloon-juice.com/2025/12/22/m...

Really enjoyed this discussion with the incomprable Hannah Pittard

Half of me thinks "oh cool do you need another class to mess up" while the other half is screaming "BATTLESHIPS" www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Everything here is horrible! Setting the horror aside, how did people around Michigan football think that it would be possible to keep all of this under wraps? www.nytimes.com/athletic/690...

Watched a university-sponsored presentation on the use of AI in the classroom and freaked out just a bit.

When it comes to the national security implications of windmills, the military has of course a long history of rational suspicion and justified aggression.

In the battle between people who are proud to be called Nazis and Nazis who would rather not be called Nazis, JD Vance is neutral and believes in a big tent.

Bari has damaged the legitimacy of CBS News most valuable product, encouraged the airing of all the dirty laundry, and alienated the work force all in one mighty swing. Plus making the division the laughing stock of the media landscape. Great work, folks.

‘60 Minutes’ Pulled a Segment. A Correspondent Calls It ‘Political.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

RIP, beyond the sad circumstances of his death, Ransone was great in the Wire and Generation Kill, and I always enjoyed seeing him appear on screen (Inside Man and Tangerine, to name a few).

The weirdest thing for a modern audience watching Perry Mason is that Raymond Burr often doesn't show up for the first 20 minutes of an episode.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Am I still grading three hours before the submission deadline? The very question is self-refuting...

Staff at “60 Minutes” are threatening to quit after the network’s MAGA-curious chief pulled a chilling segment on the Trump administration’s deportation drive.

Merry Christmas to everyone in Denmark's Foreign Ministry

oh hey Nate Burleson is finally addressing the 60 Minutes CECOT story... 45 minutes into the broadcast but okay...

Between Maye, Nix, and Williams the 2024 QB class is actually looking... okay? And Jayden Daniels isn't yet a lost cause by any means...

chatterton doesn't really post here but i would love his thoughts on of his most famous episodes given today's events.

Here’s a gift link to this stunner Washpost story, quoting the 60 Minutes correspondent on the CECOT story, who accuses Bari Weiss of spiking the piece all because the Trump Administration wouldn’t comment. “Government silence is a statement, not a VETO.” wapo.st/3YL4T3D

James Ransone, Actor Known for ‘The Wire,’ Dies at 46 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/a...

“Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices...It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Worth watching 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' in any of its versions, as a reminder of what CBS has been. Or 'The Insider,' about 60 Minutes in particular. This is really, really bad.

You plebes just don’t understand; it’s incredibly important for the health of the institution to cater to the whims of a President with a 37% approval rating.

Okay first this is extremely funny and just as predictable. Notable, can you Imagine what you’d have to get in a segment on CECOT to think wow, Trump comes out of this torture gulag thing looking pretty good! lol. Predictable, stupid, absurd.

Good lord Moyn’s latest is just awful. A full abrogation of any responsibility for analysis beyond “NATO made Russia invade Ukraine.”

Powerful Judy Gemstone energy

Look, there could be a perfectly innocent explanation for this. The problem is that given who is minding the CBS News store there is every reason to suspect something more nefarious.

The reality for like 80% of guys is that you’d be hit once by a middle linebacker and you’d die

Multiple US career ambassadors, appointed during the Biden administration, have been directed by phone call to vacate their posts by January 15 or 16. No explanation has been given for these recalls.

Burger King Whiplash Whopper (2010-2010): A flame-broiled Whopper patty topped with a spicy red sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, Pepper Jack cheese, crispy fried onions and "fiery mayo" on a sesame bun. Released as a promotional item for "Iron Man 2", named after the film's villain

In conclusion, fuck Notre Dame.

The Pope was an American citizen who served as a bishop in Peru. I think it's fair to say he doesn't think a person has to be born in a country to serve there as bishop or cardinal.
