So, about those city-owned grocery stores . . .

I'm back in @WSJFreeEx, explaining why NYC's city-owned grocery stores won't succeed.

[Andrew B @Buaman22]

@MikeIrwinPTN Maybe they are that highly ranked because we are that terrible. Small sample size, I’m sure we are skewing the statistics.

Day 7.

@NCAA, I’m going to start quoting song lyrics to make my point now. *ahem*

Are you waiting on a lightning strike?
Are you waiting for the perfect night?
Are you waiting 'til the time is right?
What are you waiting for?

@JacksonCollier If he doesn’t win against Tulsa, he deserves nothing.

[James Bryant @JamesBryantWX]

Can someone explain why Kentucky, with a brand new coach and similar numbers invested in their roster, look FAR better than Arkansas through 3 games

[Andrew B @Buaman22]

@notthefakeSVP He was a terrible hire by a terrible AD we have let stick around for too long. In this era of NIL and transfer portal, you don’t need 2 years to put together a good team, and we have the worst in the league. They’ll be lucky to get 2 wins, what do you expect people to cheat 4?

[John Calipari @CoachCalArk]

Just got back from a few days in DC meeting with lawmakers. The Protect College Sports Act is not perfect but we need to end this chaos now. We need stability or we will lose sports and lose opportunities for student athletes.

Being trans isn’t a mental illness, so mentally ill people can’t be trans, and no predator would pretend to be trans so trans predators aren’t trans, and all trans people are being their authentic selves unless their authentic self is a rapist in which case they’re pretending.

Day 3.

@NCAA, Miikka Muurinen’s case is still sitting in front of you. Miikka is still waiting on your decision.

If you want more convincing, listen to @CurtWilkerson_ break it down:

48 days until the Hogs’ season begins.

Tick. Tock. ⏰

Day 2.

@NCAA, Miikka Muurinen is 19 years old. He spent only part of one season with Partizan, appearing in just 14 games—including only 11 TOTAL minutes of EuroLeague action.

Before that? Two seasons playing high-school basketball in the United States.

Is this *really* the kind of athlete you’re trying to keep out of college basketball?

Or are these rules meant for the 23-year-old who spent five years earning a professional salary before deciding to play college basketball?

Miikka’s case has been in front of you for months.

49 days until the Hogs’ season begins.

The clock is ticking.

If you're not having kids, then who is ever going to want to look at these albums?

[Andrew B @Buaman22]

@KyleDeckelbaum They’re thinking it’s going to be very hard to get their kids to take us seriously, not that it would matter

[Andrew B @Buaman22]

@LawHog_WPS He was on his way out at Memphis and we were once again so desperate, we bailed Memphis out

[Andrew B @Buaman22]

@EastonMay02 Very real possibility

[Mitchell Northam @primetimeMitch]

I can confirm that former LSU center Kate Koval is in the transfer portal and eligible to play for a new team this season under a “legislative relief waiver” — an exception approved by the NCAA on this week.

Whenever they say one man can’t make a difference, remember the Clancy trial

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

These juror interviews are extraordinary. They are admitting openly that they disregarded the law entirely for the sake of letting Clancy off the hook. There’s no other way to read it.

One juror says she originally wanted to vote guilty but changed her mind so that “Lindsay could get the help she needs.” That is a clear violation of the law. They were supposed to make a determination solely about guilt or innocence. They were not there to make sure anyone “gets help.”

Another juror says she voted not guilty because the prosecution never produced “character witnesses” proving Clancy was a “bad mother.” The problem is that A) killing your children IS definitive evidence that you’re a bad mother, and B) the prosecution would not have been allowed to call those kinds of witnesses. A witness solely testifying that Clancy was a bad mother would have been purely prejudicial. So this juror acquitted because the prosecution failed to provide evidence that they weren’t allowed to provide and which would have been irrelevant anyway. Extraordinary. This same juror even admitted that it was a “fact” that Clancy “viciously killed her children.” The word vicious literally means “done maliciously and with intent.” So if that’s a fact then they were obligated to vote guilty. But they didn’t.

Meanwhile another juror swooned over the defense attorney’s “entertaining” demeanor. And another one said that all of the facts of the case — “everything,” her words — “proved” that Clancy “loved her children.” Apparently strangling your children to death, in this juror’s mind, does not at all call your love for them into question.

Just a collection of the most morally obtuse idiots ever assembled. Amazing.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I’ve watched this probably 100 times at this point.

This one quote by this one juror is radicalizing me in ways I didn’t know were even possible:

“He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously k*lled her children…”

I don’t know where we go from here…

[Brain Leakage @BrainLeakage03]

Since you weren’t even born yet, I’m going to answer in good faith:

9/11 was America’s collective loss of innocence. In the decades prior, we’d won the Cold War by outspending the Soviets. We were the sole remaining superpower, and we were in a period of peace and economic prosperity.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, we suffered a suicide attack with a higher death toll than Pearl Harbor. It struck a city on the US mainland, the first attack of that scale to hit CONUS since the Civil War.

In a violent flash, and on live television, our collective illusions of safety, security, and peace disappeared. For most Americans, it was the first time we ever had to contend with that scale of horror, and what it implied about the fragility of our way of life.

It was simultaneously sobering and terrifying. The American response was to launch two wars, and to restructure domestic life around the Government’s presumed duty to spy on everyone, so nothing like it could ever happen again.

I am not being hyperbolic when I say the America we grew up in—imagined or not—vanished on 9/11.

What you’re calling a “worshipful attitude” is a mix of reverence for the dead, and mourning for the loss of what existed before.

My theory is that Lindsay Clancy murdered her children to punish her husband, Patrick.

He was a good dad. He came from a very supportive family. He loved those kids. He seems to have picked up all the slack enthusiastically. I bet those kids adored him.

She probably resented that. She could have done it because the jealousy was eating her up and she wanted to hurt Patrick in retaliation.

Eight months postpartum would be pretty rare for psychotic symptoms to suddenly appear. In reading through everything, I have not seen enough evidence to be convinced that she was actually experiencing psychotic symptoms. I think she knew what to say.

Moreover, many keep saying that “the system” failed her. I find this very hard to justify because she seems to have had more access to care and support than most working women with three kids (including worry-free childcare while she was hospitalized and after so she could attend appointments). Many people are overlooking that part of the story.

I see a system that was hearing her and tried very hard to help her, but instead, she was using it to formulate her defense.

This case feels very calculated. Even down to the detailed journals of her medication regimen. An overwhelmed mom cycling in and out of reality due to postpartum hormones would struggle immensely with keeping such a well-organized, detailed daily diary, to the point of being almost unheard of. She needed some way to build her case for sympathy.

That’s just my two cents.
