This is fascinating to me, because beyond the surface level it illuminates why conservatives are often so full of shit.

The baseline here is that there's a heatwave, and Mamdani asked New Yorkers to adjust their thermostats to help the grid. This is regular practice in red and blue areas of the country. Daniel posts a defiant "I'm not gonna do what mommy tells me!" style post. He surely thinks he's a very clever boy here.

Now if the message is "This is a free country, and I love my AC, and by god it's my house and no government bureaucrat can force me to change", then fine. Sure. But there is no law being proposed here. No police are bursting down your door demanding to check your thermostat. It's a request from a community leader, a polite ask that you engage in a very small pro-social sacrifice.

You would think conservatives would understand the idea that local communities should pull together in times of need. For the 'common good', perhaps. You'd think. And that they'd be happy if no government force was involved, if they could act merely because they had strong moral character and believed in private charitable action.

"Nobody should ever ask anyone to sacrifice for the common good, even if it's just a polite request" is just dipshit nihilism.

But I suspect Daniel doesn't actually believe in those conservative ideas. Or if he does, they're a distant second to the true guiding star of conservative thought: owning the libs. Given the chance to help people or own the libs, conservatives will always own the libs. Given the chance to demonstrate strong principles or own the libs, they'll always abandon the principle to own the libs. The actual philosophy of the right is merely "We hate the left". And it's sad.

The bad faith here, the thing that's gross, is trying to slip in this insane idea that the only way Texas Tech can support Sorsby's fight against addiction is putting him on the field at QB. Strikes me as a mockery of mental illness for their own cynical ends

Incredible quote from Big 12 coach in @DanWetzel's column on the Sorsby ruling:

@38Godfrey @YahooSports @SenTuberville @RossDellenger repeatedly referring to @ChrisMurphyCT as a far left politician was interesting. I suppose its subjective though

[Donovan @DonovanLovelock]

@JW1612 @robmayo98 @38Godfrey @YahooSports I get that. I think as we age we understand how political sports really are and have been, and that’s depressing. But especially so in recent yrs. I wish the only political issues affecting it were over how to fund them, how to ensure access to them, and how to make them safer.

[Donovan @DonovanLovelock]

@JW1612 @robmayo98 @38Godfrey @YahooSports There was no takeaway. Trump is uninformed. Guests had to correct him. There was no thought put into this event other than how do I surround myself with famous people and stop people from talking about Iran and Epstein and the economy. So CFB media should report on it as such

[Donovan @DonovanLovelock]

@JW1612 @robmayo98 @38Godfrey @YahooSports Who called the former-reality-tv-show-star-turned-president a reality show star in this exchange other than you? Which I agree with btw

@JW1612 @robmayo98 @38Godfrey @YahooSports Commander in chief playing college football czar to distract from obliterating school children and your issue is with the podcast host talking to you like an adult about the issue?

@SportsLawGuy Pensacola attorney announces he will issue a comprehensive motion for summary judgment that will “solve every problem” in the case. “Whether or not it will hold up in courts, who knows?”

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Look, if DHS and ICE legitimately felt that these killings were justified, then they wouldn't be doing everything in their power to stop normal-course investigations into them. But that's precisely what's happening.

[Bud Elliott @BudElliott3]

This is so awesome for our sport

The idea that if you really do well you have a shot. Basically everyone.

For so long the legacy brands could be managed like crap and still be decent because of built-in advantages. There was little to no vertical mobility.

Now? Meritocracy

@BudElliott3 The fumble luck is insane. God’s team

@NoleLoans Businesses might need to start refusing service to the admin who are making decisions that harm the local economy…

[Brendan Sonnone @BSonnone]

Epiphany while recording instant react OTB:

Games/results haven't mattered for Florida State in 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Three years of results -- the spectrum of horrid and exceptional -- haven't mattered in Tally in YEARS.

It's wild. Truly.
