Haha. Just saw my cousin’s husband yelling at his players on the sideline. Come on defense, get it together. 😆

Being the oldest of 19 cousins is weird and was hard when I was in my early 20s and was pregnant and was told what a “bad example” I was.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

Nothing more embarrassing to be than an ICE agent. "Oh, you've got a big day at work? Do you have to stand around an elementary school awkwardly waiting to separate a family? And that's your job? You get paid to do that? And I'm sure you show your face. Oh, you don't? Why not? Is this shameful?"

"Reading the once-vibrant Washington Post opinion section, under its new editor, feels like choking down a spoonful of congealed Cream of Wheat..." www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

The Bears!!!!!!!!!!

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Sigh

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuccck

I am STRESSED

My cousin Jayden just took the field for the Hawkeyes. Go Jayden!!!

New family member. Meet Maple. 🍁

This is a beautiful piece of writing - because it’s so clear and fundamentally about being human, together. South African friends who grew up under apartheid have said the same. Call it out, name it, shame it- the hateful rhetoric and the actions that follow. @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

In another key economic indicator, punts are down for 2025. We're shifting to selling you gold and crypto to fight the coming tides.

JFC

imagine being an active duty officer in a conflict zone flying halfway around the world just so a civilian administrator can lecture you about your “warrior spirit”

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

I’m losing my fucking mind. The country is in free fall but, like, I still have football updates in my news feed, work calls I need to make, a game to play, a wedding to attend, fashion posts in my Instagram feed…

4PM Today (Friday, Sept 26): Protest at the Neil Smith Federal Building in downtown Des Moines in support of Dr Ian Roberts. Dr Roberts was detained by ICE in Des Moines and, apparently, driven to an ICE facility in Council Bluffs.

According to ICE's database, he is in Pottawattamie County, so he was put in a car and driven 2 hours away instantly?

The fuck?

NEW from PP: You know how Krista Noem has been bottlenecking disaster relief? Turns out, you can get them greenlit —if you‘re a Noem donor! After donor asked, Noem quickly cleared project. Then she flew to town and dined at French bistro with the donor. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

Really great news for those of us with young adult children. (Sarcasm)

This is Folklore weather. 🍂🍁🍃🌾

There's something funny about Jaxson Dart just bopping around the sideline with that massive bling. Like, chill out rookie.

finally

Oh man. I left the tv on after the Illinois Indiana game and I just came back to an SNL episode taped last year with Maya Rudolph and Kamala Harris. I miss the delusion I lived in when I thought she was going to be president.

This kid not having the best day.

Posting mostly for accountability to myself. I have brunch plans at 10 am and my gym opens at 9 am. I’ve been wanting to add in a fourth strength training day and it didn’t happen today. So I have a bag packed, I will be there at 8:59 am, get 30 minutes in, shower, and get to brunch.

I like scoring points with the offense.

Kirk got that 206th win and he said it was time for a whole new ballgame.

Kickoff returned for a touchdown. Field goal doink. 42 points before halftime in a game where the under-over was 48. The Situation had made a personal appearance on the Rutgers sideline. So much is happening

Here’s something I don’t think anyone has ever said before: they are slinging it in this Rutgers-Iowa game

The greatest special teams matchup of the year. 🤣 Oh hell yeah.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Hot take. Denise, Agnes, and Taylor are the most interesting and cool people from TSITP universe and I would watch a show just about the three of them taking on the world.

Jon Stewart in 2022: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether... When a society feels under threat, comedians are who gets sent away first.” apnews.com/article/bill...

Jays put up a hell of a fight. 💙🤍

i promise i ain't on nothing now but ... you ever think about folks talk about, "i'm from chicago/detroit/memphis/cleveland/compton/whatever. we don't play that shit." And the baddest motherfucker in the world right now is from omaha, and if you didn't know him & he said that, it'd be like lol so?

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

I know I know it's a well worn point but still. Plenty of people who would self-describe as Christians, for whom that is a very important identity, watch Fox News. I genuinely can think of very few messages as laser-targeted to be anti-Christian as "kill the homeless". Designed in a lab by Satan.

Yay Bud!!!

I’ve never purposely watched boxing in my life, but the hometown guy is on so I’ll give it a try. Let’s go Bud! 🥊

My cousin’s kid plays for Indiana State, so go Sycamores! I can’t wait to watch!

good lord, they did the photo thing for white murderers. again.

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.
