I have to raise my hand. They have proved me wrong over the last couple games. They actually look like a team. I've seen improvement from several players. Diebler should be commended.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

In 2026, I am committed to shining a light on some of the more despicable things social media companies allow, such as paying people overseas to make up quotes attached to celebrities that rile up and divide people.

If you could, please give a read, and if inclined repost

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

'Andor' Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn't During Its Release — The Hollywood Reporter While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

Just told someone today that Mon Mothma’s senate speech in “Andor” season 2 cuts to the heart of the current state of America more than any report or work of fiction

Here is a hot take. I'm not sure I know what this guy did wrong. Weren't all his interactions prior to Epstein's initial arrest?

The team is very frustrating. Just when they were pulling away they fouled USC on three straight trips to allow them back in the game.

Don’t chalk up Chelsea’s Leeds collapse to inexperience. They’re better than this Liam Rosenior's side are young by Premier League standards, but that was not the reason for their errors against Leeds

More often than not, when #CFC drop points as they did v Leeds last night and/or play badly, it is blamed in many quarters as due to a 'lack of experience'. My column below on why this should not be used as an excuse. www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...
