Realistically, I don't see the Saints moving on midseason. It took direct action from Benson and a players' mutiny to achieve that for DA. When he does go, Loomis needs to join him. Barely over .400 without SP coaching his team. Can't let him hire the next HC after two strikouts.

This interview with @frankwrighter, a mostly unknown citizen of the UK, is rightfully getting a lot of attention. His primary points, expressed with remarkable clarity and independence of thought:

* Market worship by conservatives (Tories) has degraded society into soulless commoditization of human beings.

* Neoliberal globalism deliberately obliterates identifiable culture and civilization in favor of one undifferentiated global mass of limitless consumerism, along with the destruction of dignity, community and work.

* Western democracy is driven by branding exercises based on promises that are cynically designed never to be fulfilled.

* Echoing the broader populist-right European view (except for Nigel Farage/Reform): The Trump/Netanyahu Iran War and others wars like it are fought for a tiny class of global elites, bringing nothing of value to ordinary citizens except debt and destruction.

* The driving force behind these wars is Israel and these wars are fought for its interests.

He's at a Restore Britain rally, but the overlap with a lot of populist left views is extremely obvious:

Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?

Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.

Former Saints QB Derek Carr says he would end his retirement for 'a chance to win a Super Bowl.' It's big talk for someone who's never won a playoff game.

Ring paid somewhere between $8 and $10 million for a 30-second Super Bowl spot to tell 120 million viewers that their cameras now scan neighborhoods using AI.

The math is wild. Ring has roughly 20 million devices in American homes. Search Party is enabled by default. The opt-out rate on default settings in consumer tech is historically around 5%. So approximately 19 million cameras are now running AI pattern matching on anything that moves past your front door. Today the target is dogs. The same infrastructure already handles “Familiar Faces,” which builds biometric profiles of every person your camera sees, whether they know about it or not.

Ring settled with the FTC for $5.8 million after employees had unrestricted access to customers’ bedroom and bathroom footage for years. They’re now partnered with Flock Safety, which routes footage to local law enforcement. ICE has accessed Flock data through local police departments acting as intermediaries. Senator Markey’s investigation found Ring’s privacy protections only apply to device owners. If you’re a neighbor, a delivery driver, a passerby, you have no rights and no recourse.

This tells you everything about Amazon’s actual product. The customer paid for the camera. The customer pays the electricity. The customer pays the $3.99/month subscription. And Amazon gets a surveillance grid that would cost tens of billions to build from scratch, with an AI layer activated by default, and a law enforcement pipeline already connected.

They wrapped all of that in a lost puppy commercial because that’s the only version of this story anyone would willingly opt into.

6--Louisiana’s prison population will nearly double in six years because of the state’s changes to parole, one expert estimates. It costs $37K a year to house an inmate compared with $2.2K a year for parole supervision.

Shirley’s been funded by RW dark money for a while, this illiterate moron did not gain access to a Salvadoran prison last year on his own. The daycare video was another step in the process to ratchet up violence and justify a surge in Minneapolis.
