I wrote about how there is plenty of blame to go around in the Charles Bediako litigation. The thing that’s missing is leadership— and it is what college basketball desperately needs. www.saturdaydownsouth.com/news/college...

Interesting. Do you guys think I should become a soccer fan

‘In a very real sense, Trinity Rodman is Greenland’ is a level of getting lost in the sauce I’m not sure we’ve ever seen.

Truly remarkable.

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

The Atlantic has met the moment. Can’t say that about enough big media outlets

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

No, autistics do not “lack empathy”: “Where researchers had assumed impairment, they found autistic people applying moral principles more consistently—even to strangers, even when costly.” By Ludmila Pradlova. **This includes non-speakers &/or peeps w/ID** www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/posi...

The miracle of Christmas isn’t that everything worked out perfectly. On the contrary, it is that despite intense strain on Mary and Joseph’s relationship, a long and arduous journey to Bethlehem… 🧵

The GOP blocking health care funding for poor, sick folks and children while loudly celebrating a poor child born in a stable who grew up to speak truth to power and heal and minister to the sick is a little too on the nose.

The health of a relationship is directly proportional to how much instagram content you send each other and how quickly it’s viewed. This isn’t an opinion. It is science. 13 out of 10 therapists agree.

David Moyes 4.0 - what is going on?

Moyes for President. #COYB

Global organization that hosted a World Cup in Qatar, a slave state built on the back of migrant human rights abuses, awarding a “peace” prize to Donald Trump, is a little too on the nose.

Missing my friend Grant Wahl today. He would have hated the draw ceremony but been so fired up to host the World Cup.

I write about college basketball. But: My favorite 🏀 team - the one that makes me ache and cry -is the Hornets. It’s not generational trauma so much as ineffable sadness. I think this @christhompson.bsky.social is the best explainer of the team I’ve read. defector.com/can-anything...

Spurrier v Bowden w/ @nwblackmon.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Imagine being the worst person the worst person on the planet knows.

The Capital Area Food Bank in Washington D.C., says it's allotted an extra 1 million meals for November, given the uncertainties about whether and when SNAP recipients will get their full benefits. n.pr/47z75Re

Part One of my conversation with @nwblackmon.bsky.social on the Florida-Florida State football rivalry - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

As a Jesus follower, I can’t understand caving on health care funding. I especially can’t understand doing it when your opposition was holding food for poor, hungry kids (among other things) hostage unless you cave on health care. Disappointing isn’t strong enough. Dismayed. Devastated.

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

CONCACAF heritage alert in the CPL final.

Lots of gold. No food for poor kids.

How the billionaire you elected acts when hungry kids need food and millions of Americans might lose their health care.

Trump shutdown.

The President wants to nuke the filibuster to end the shutdown and take health care away from millions of Americans but at least he put a tacky sign outside the Oval Office.

At thr heart of failed resistance to Trump is the colossal failure of Democrats to defend New Deal and Great Society egalitarian economic ideals. Democrats consistently capitulate to corporate, anti-worker interests. 🧵

Whether it's liberals snapping their fingers at New York Times staffer orientation or conservatives cutting off SNAP funding for millions of starving Americans, both sides have a snap problem.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

I wrote about my Dad, fatherhood, loss, and why the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is so much more than a football game to Georgia and Florida fans. www.saturdaydownsouth.com/news/college...

Good morning to everyone except folks who think holding SNAP funding hostage for hungry kids unless you agree to cripple health care for millions of Americans is an ethical or Jesus following or “pro life” policy.

Crime? Healthcare? Economy? Football? Not looking good. Why doesn't the Louisiana governor seem to care? @timmiller.bsky.social on Jeff Landry:

Wealthier? Marlins Man or Kevin McCallister’s Dad?

people in a lot of states are about to lose their SNAP benefits. If you are in a position to help with food aid, please do. Donate to a local food pantry, reach out to people you know who are food insecure and share meals, whatever you can do!

Autism parent here. Nothing like your health savings account running out after 5 months and 2,500 in therapy sessions deductibles remaining anyway

Great thread by the brilliant Lisa Corrigan

Conservative, Trump supporting Christians trying to reconcile cutting SNAP to poor children with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but: 1. Autism isn’t a tragedy 2. Autism being largely genetic isn’t a sign of “de-evolution” and it’s dehumanizing to autistic people to suggest it is.

Good morning to everyone except the people who think Tylenol or vaccines cause autism.

So I guess it’s back to when Grealish was at Aston Villa. The opponent can do anything to him outside of actually murdering him in a football match and not get a player sent off…

Looks like Kash Patel paid off the refs in Liverpool-Everton. Multiple tackles on Grealish violated the Geneva Convention. Same old nonsense.

Empaths who are too overwhelmed and burnt out from the constant onslaught of horribleness to speak, and feel so guilty bc the societal mandate to “speak up” about every single horror is constant & nothing you say or do will ever feel like enough: I am with you. I love you. You are doing enough.

Flying on 9/11 today for the first time since 9/11. Hard to believe it’s been 24 years.
