@JR3_Cyco The reason is almost entirely gaming the metrics the selection committee uses. The game is more likely to be Q1/Q1a for both teams if it’s at a neutral site vs home and WAB will also react more favorably. It’s essentially a home and home with a game in Alabama next year.

Trump on Iran War:

Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?

Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

There’s always money for war.

But when it comes to your health care, we “can’t afford it.”

NFL refs are legitimately held to higher split second standards than Ice agents, alright man

If you're wondering why Harry Sisson was chosen in the Trump AI video, it's part of the much larger maga strategy... and when you see it, all their other decisions make sense: the memes, the childishness, JD Vance defending "boys."

The entire maga strategy is about weaponizing young men, and specifically young white men. This is why every government account posts memes and tweets like a rageful teenager. This is why Charlie Kirk combed the frat houses. This is why Benny Johnson thumbnails look like they are aimed at a Roblox gaming audience.

They are after the boys.

That's why they excuse the n words and f slurs and Hitler stuff. It's why they behave like dickheads in press conferences. It's why they went to TikTok.

They figured out the 14 year old white boys are their voters of tomorrow... the future 18 year old white men who normally never vote much but are the one block they can manipulate with anger and power and department of "war" fantasies and motivate to be on their team.

And they are all in. Trying to be "cool" for the kids.

Now, TPUSA as we speak is trying to get into every middle school and high school in the country. They are going all out to try and indoctrinate young men into their hate and resentment club at the earliest possible age... using their religion as the icebreaker and gaming as their gateway.

It's going to get ugly if there isn't some kind of intervention or serious work to prevent this.

@AustinJRoberts Wouldn’t be shocked if Marco Lainez found his way into a tight end room at some point too

We live in, by far, the dumbest timeline.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The White House is partnering with PragerU.

The conservative, biased education company is already making AI content in a series launched with the Trump administration.

And new reporting suggests the White House could be eying PragerU as a substitute for PBS.

Slightly overdetermined comparison I realize but the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics are getting more self-evidently Berlin 1936 with every passing day

You could sell all 640M acres of federal land and it would raise less than half what the federal government spends each and every year.

Don’t let Mike Lee sell off your American birthright for six months of government spending.

Well on one hand we shredded our alliance with all of Europe, our strong trading relationships, our role as leader of developed nations

But on the other we built strong ties with El Salvador, one of the poorest Latin American countries, so its dictator could imprison our people

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200k/year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

the irony of using technology that's actively killing the planet to make a shitty rendition of a film about the earth becoming uninhabitable
