Watching Dickson punt against Mizzou in the 2017 Texas Bowl blew my mind. I'd never seen a punter take absolute control of a game like that before — he was even named MVP of the match!
what a godawful day for journalism, following a great many other godawful days for journalism

hard to overstate just how much Houston nailed it with the dunking astronaut logo
I've said this before, but as bad as things are, this is the sort of thing that most journalists I know got into the business to cover. I am not surprised that we are seeing them rise to the occasion.
hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress
When I can't get my code to run I'm simply a data damsel in distress
The Securities and Exchange Commission: It Just Means More
How is it? Honestly hadn't heard of it till now
Do most authors not have final approval? I just sort of assumed that was a given for the work they produced

DDHQ — so goated, so underrated. Honestly I have no idea why so many outlets stick with the AP when this outfit has much better data & the ability to make faster calls
Anecdotal, but they're also really nice to work with. Enjoyed chatting with them when I did elections at BI
peak baseball is indistinguishable from the feeling of hitting your head against a cement wall
outfielders have to be the worst farmers i've ever seen. what are you doing out there? get to work
The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."
43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.
It’s awful too because most of the time trans reporters have to convince their newsrooms that these topics are worth covering and volunteer to report it out themselves because if they don’t, nobody else will. Eliminating a spot that specialized in this type of reporting only compounds the problem
Can confirm, we are dorks
Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
In this tumultuous moment, Texas is still unique in its mind-boggling extremes. Texas loves to pick on queer kids. Yet, Texas is one of the queerest states in the country. Nearly 20% of our residents were born in another country, but we’ve vilified those neighbors.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK
Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.
