@UpperDeckRep0rt@JoeTipton I am not saying I agree with decision, but TKR was a red shirt and didn't play his freshman year. So, he played 4 years at Purdue.
A statement from Nebraska Athletics: “Nebraska Athletics is aware of fan behavior incidents at last night’s men’s basketball game against Purdue, including multiple instances of objects being thrown toward the team benches and court. We are working with the staff at Pinnacle Bank Arena and law enforcement officials to investigate the incidents, identify the individuals, and take appropriate disciplinary action. Once that process is completed, more information will be made public.”
We wanted to put together a high level thread explaining what's going on with the federal deficit and impending debt spiral we're facing without major reform.
We needed the @DOGE a decade ago and it's the only thing that can save this country from financial disaster.
A long 🧵 but important.

The nation’s best.

No other DI player (men's or women's) this century has reached those marks in a single calendar month.
Quick story about govt. shutdowns and the theatrics behind them. One year when I was reporting at CBS News during a govt. shutdown, I think 2013, we were sincerely searching for real life impact. When we couldn't find any, *that* should have been part of the story. Instead, we kept trying to create the appearance of an impact. It wasn't really trying to be dishonest. It was, in my retrospective view, because the general editorial idea for the story was to show how bad the "Republican" shutdown was for ordinary Americans, and the answer simply couldn't be that it wasn't. I've written quite a bit about this but we, as journalists, too often "decide" the story in advance and shape the facts to fit our narrative, rather than gathering information and letting that tell the story, whatever it may be. Anyway, the Ds were blaming Rs for the shutdown, so we were calling Ds and the Obama administration for ideas to report what was the real impact. Taking our cue, these officials fabricated impact that we could report. For example, they cordoned off outdoor public monuments in Washington DC. We knew and even discussed in the newsroom that this made no sense. These monuments weren't "manned" to begin with. The only reason to cordon them off from the public was so that visiting tourists would see the "impact" of the shutdowns and the news media would have something to take pictures of and interview people about. There are other examples but this is the one I remember the most.
Wanted to tell you guys about something. I just found out that a bunch of women are trying to start a boycott of a needlepoint store that belongs to a good friend of mine, because they suspect that she doesn't adhere to the woke beliefs.
These women didn't get the memo that the Woke Era is over.
If you are interested in needlepoint, check out my friend's store's website (and if you're in NY, go on in and say "Hi").
