the BBC only gets upset with presenters if they treat someone else like a human being, Gary Linekar is a problem for HR to deal with, this one and Sharon Davies are model employees

A screenshot of a donation to New American Pathways for the Charitabundi Bowl. The donation is for $201.60, going to Protect Trans Kids University, and the message with the reason for the donation read: "Reluctantly have to hand it to Brian Kelly for authoring an ND season in 2016 so dreadful and embarrassing that it convinced me to rethink 20 years of obsessive fandom/ message-board posting/"spending whole days of my life being mad about losing to Navy"."

I'm glad I was a CFB/ND obsessive long enough to find my way to EDSBS. Thanks Brian, it's nice to be free, but still eat shit.

Also for god’s sake if you’re going to be a poll sniffer at least take note that Trump’s atrocities have succeeded in shifting the electorate in a massively more pro-immigrant direction.

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

the edsbs charity bowl has now raised more money than the entire amount the sugar bowl foundation gave to charity last year ($435,600 on $74 million in net assets)

Holy shit this goes hard

I feel like "anti rich current reaches crescendo" is when the guillotine operators are getting OT not when you find a way to levy a new small tax on an undertaxed upper class

I am not kidding at all when I say that every Democrat with a microphone should mock JD Vance every chance they get between now and 2028. Call him weird and feckless. Laugh at his eyeliner & dumb beard. Talk about the nazis & freaks he follows on Twitter. *Brand* him.

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”

America’s Mayor can’t miss.

Mayor Mamdani and President Obama read a picture book to a group of children.

Mayor Mamdani and President Obama chat and laugh with a group of children.

Children hug Mayor Mamdani.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

I was told having kids would make me conservative (and that paying my own taxes would do the same). Instead it's rejuvenated my socialism. I see how kind people are to us every day, and they're a reminder that everyone, even the jerks, was once an innocent kid that deserved a better world.

Firing and jailing RFK is the moderate position

Really tough situation for Democrats since "unreliable and ineffective drunk who uses the FBI as a way to fly around the country in a personal jet" is like by far the best possible outcome for Trump FBI Director

I never want to be a killjoy so I won't get in the way of people dancing in the streets when he drops dead but I think one reason everyone is so thirsty for it is we tacitly understand that to be the only consequence he'll ever face. Which sucks! There should be way more consequences

Imagine if the press that Hegseth is insulting took this sort of stuff as seriously as they took Ilhan Omar saying AIPAC influences elections by spending money

This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.

a map from 1918 showing the interurban network sprawling across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

This was absolutely one of the most striking things about moving from suburban Atlanta to Manhattan when I was in my 20s. I remember being back home for a visit and, like, struggling to articulate to my parents just how different—and how much better and friendlier—the world felt on foot.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

How Silicon Valley Humiliated the Democrats When will they learn? The party remains far too solicitous of an industry that’s rewarded their fealty with four years of Trump and untold damage to democracy.

"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...

JD Vance is so uniquely detestable that he’s undoing the English Reformation by sheer repelling force

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

Exactly one year ago today:

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

You Can Never Let Them Think They Have A Chance | Defector I don’t remember the first time someone hit on me as a reporter. I believe this is because my brain has come to treat these events as unremarkable. For any woman in journalism, they pile up over the y...

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about.

so weird that trump shares the same prejudices you’d hear at the klan rally his father went to in the 20s

You'll get it but you need to watch the slide a dozen times and friends, it is worth it
