@tarkaniang I guess ultimately I don’t disagree that the college brand/alumni base is the biggest draw (otherwise why ever watch college sports when pro sports exist). But I disagree that talent doesn’t matter, the fact that the best of these players will go pro is definitely a big draw too

[WanderingHippo @HippoWandering]

@tarkaniang Individual high schools don’t but collectively more people went to/were a part of a high school community-yet there’s far less interest in the games. Interest in college sports has generally grown over time due to a number of factors definitely including the talent increasing

@UziCryptoo That’s not the drivers fault though. You need to tip them or pick it up yourself.

@trouble_man90 People thought Biden/Harris might do better. Trump obviously doesn’t care what left wing protesters think

[Collin @cmccollo]

I get that the Colts are one of the least marketable teams in the NFL but NBC could at least pretend like they're also playing in this game lol

[Mark Davis for Congress @MarkMadDogDavis]

Hey, left leaning candidates across the country:

When your right wing opponent calls you a “socialist” during a debate…they will…don’t defend yourself…make them defend it.

Ask them a question:

“Define socialism”

That’s it.

Then sit back and watch them squirm..

Because republican morons have no clue what the word means….some “strongman” handed them a scary word and told them who to point it at…and now they repeat it like parrots!

So make them explain it to you…

“Define socialism…then tell everyone exactly what position of mine fits that definition.”

And give them all the time in the world.

Because screaming a word you don’t understand doesn’t make you informed…it makes you MAGA.

And the country can see right through that bullshit now…

Video shows Flock walking police through how to monitor a No Kings protest in real time. I do not have to agree with a single sign at that protest to say this plainly: Surveillance aimed at your political opponents today will be aimed at you tomorrow.

Hasan gets a fraction of this respect from the leftists he supports.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

The most consistent theme of conservatism is being completely unable/unwilling to understand how a thing is bad until it happens to you.

Just an atrocious lack of ball knowledge from *checks notes* the University of Michigan football program

The government and flock camera supporters: “If you aren’t doing anything wrong, you don’t have anything to hide.”

Also the government:

Let's play a game. What if I stood on the street outside his home, documented his comings and goings, and sold those records for money... how long until I’m arrested? And how are my actions materially different than the intended function of his product?

[Rad Dude Comics @Elpeocross]

I noticed people posting his address yet it gets taken down.
I think the CEO should just compromise on his privavcy; what makes him think his privacy is worth more than mine?

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

It gives me no pleasure to be cynical, but how many times do we have to do this before voters realize they’re being duped into voting for corporatists who have no interest in “fixing” anything?

Notice what Trump managed to accomplish *without* a supermajority? Remember how Biden had a trifecta when Roe was overturned? Remember when Obama had a supermajority?

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

We have to begin to understand that policymakers do commit acts of violence. We pretend that someone in a board room, denying healthcare to millions isn't committing an act that may lead to the deaths of thousands of people.
