This has been a dire match to watch except for this.

We should probably keep in mind that Columbia already *wanted* to do the things Trump demanded of them. They'd been attacking their own students and professors for two years before Trump came into office. Trump was an accelerant, not a game changer for them.

Politicians: We want to go back to the 1950s The 1950s:

Klein is bringing deliberative democratic ideals to a contest of power politics.

The problem is that you can't make a spending deal with the White House and then trust it to hold up its end.

This is wretched policy.

What is this department money thing?

In my incitement unit in media law, I go over Trump's Ellipse speech and say that without further proof of coordination, the gap between the speech and storming of the Capitol probably insulated him from an incitement charge.

As an old millennial who remembers Jones crashing George Bush events, it's just odd to watch him become a boring "I love and trust the president" guy. This must be how guys who want to say the R-word feel about Howard Stern.

I think this might have sounded better in his head.

Green Bay Packers "owners" in Wisconsin can diversify their sports holdings

Japan takes on South Africa, Live from The Villages.

We are hiring in the Lehigh U journalism department, a tenure-track position focused on technology law and policy. We take a multidisciplinary approach to platform governance and AI here that includes social sciences/humanities. Opportunity for someone wanting to make an impact. Spread the word!

Israel is going to end up in CONCACAF, isn't it?

When the headline is a question, the answer is almost always no.

The "I don't think the labor market is about to fall off a cliff" message that I've painted on this barrel-and-suspenders I now wear is attracting messages seemingly answered by what I've painted on the barrel.

I covered a Josh Johnson game for the University of San Diego back in my old life as a sports reporter. As long as he's in the NFL, I'm still young.

I do not understand what "sexual matador" is supposed to signify. I'm not sure I want to know.

The thing is, I am paranoid and distrustful.

The 2028 Democratic Primary is going to be a fight between norms restorers and those who want to use the powers Trump claimed for the office.

Tired: Defund the police Wired: Also fund things that are not the police

Seems like Bluesky is getting into sportsball

Framing, that shit works.

What if the rapture did happen, but no one qualified?

Why won't Brendan Carr talk about the real issues in media like the underproduction of Detroit Lions content?

I'm finally watching the rapture prophecy video, and I was not expecting the World Cup to figure so prominently

This feels like a spot where the Lions go for it.

UWM Legend Bruce Pearl is on to the next adventure, apparently. I bet there will be a podcast involved.

International Law was a way for politicians who had the capability to use lethal force in lots of ways to talk themselves into restraint. We see that best when they stop restraining themselves.

Gonna have to spend more time on Brandenburg v. Ohio in media law, I guess.

I'm thinking today about how Paul Wellstone's political opponents reacted to his memorial service.

Special teams coaches' union action here: All failing at the same time to help each other out.

LOL, Packers

I have the Bengals +47, so I'll be whiteknuckling the rest of this Vikings game.

Does Warner Brothers Discovery have business before the FCC right now? Asking for a person I don't particularly care for.

Would be really surprising if Trump or any president cracked down on speech he liked.

Zohran is a Gooner? That's disappointing.

Megyn: Let 👏 Public 👏 Officials 👏 Collect 👏 Bags 👏 of 👏 Cash

I had to give up my yoga classes as a luxury because groceries are too expensive.

Newspapers can't make political elites act. We all know what's going on, but there's no break in Trump's Congressional support that would force him to stop.

Also not a great sign for the party dramatics that they avoid the platform where they are more likely to find their most committed voters.

Who in the United States?

Own Goal again. Ole Ole Ole. #coys

What if I think anti-abortion laws are also authoritarian?

Honeslty don't think Spurs have played badly so far. Brighton has been clinical, but the Tottenham chance generation has been solid.

In case you were wondering if there were a great pre-woke past in media, this is from a journalism trade paper in 1899:

I see the commitment to removing violence from our politics was, um, conditional.

The purpose of journalism is to print only what your sources say you can print, right?

Judge:

Big day for the health insurance industry to not be the worst group in a medical story.
