mostly yelling about sports

Y'all don't understand how much damage us trans folks have tanked for almost everyone else the last like 4 years. It's been us and immigrants just taking the full blast of the culture war every day. And now you call us selfish for asking for the same rights we had 2 years ago?
you can't expect, after two years of being used as scapegoats for just about everything, trans voters not to object to that, they have to be respected as coalitions members and their concerns taken seriously

Went to a pumpkin patch in a bigger town. 200 million deportations. Minimum.

anyone who jumps for joy whenever data centers or flock cameras get criticized by red state Dems should not be mad with this ad this is partly *your* fault and yes, these issues do have a connection

#KansasSenate Adam Hamilton on transgender rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.” “I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”

Turek isn’t winning. Talarico’s closing message is about the economy, the war, and corruption. Turek’s is about… 10 trans kids. Fuck.
#IAPol: "No Iowan should face discrimination. As a Paralympian, I also know it's important to have rules. It's why I oppose males competing in female sports ... I'm against taxpayers paying for sex changes, too." Josh Turek is up with a new #IASen ad. Future reservations: 🔵$18.0M 🔴$15.5M

Not that Hinson is any better but between shit like this and the awful border wall ad it's gonna be pretty hard for me to be upset when this guy loses.

Hinson repeatedly voted for tarrifs and an unjust war that have crippled the local economy and are deeply unpopular. Why is your closing message throwing the most marginalized part of your base under the bus for the sake of culture war bullshit that barely impacts most Iowans?

Like 99.9999999% of the people who care about this to the degree that it genuinely drives their vote are already voting Republican no matter what you say. Who is this for? Just being morally bankrupt for the love of the game.

People in the replies rolling their eyes about this because he wrote Infinite Jest, I suspect, haven’t actually read it. It’s actually a very easy read. The grammar isn’t why it’s challenging to get through.

maybe the first time a 6 minute video has been worth it
I mean, just an all-time TV segment. Making Chuck do Who He Play For multiple times in a row with the same players is a brilliant idea and I was legit crying laughing by the end, my god.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

(Jimmy Rogers signed a six-year contract with Washington State in Dec. 2024 and was announced as Iowa State's head coach less than a year later.)
Worth two minutes of your time to hear Jimmy Rogers lay bare one of the main ills facing big-time college sports and the athletes themselves. Iowa State Daily's @henry_annen asked Rogers what he needs from new AD Jared Benko to elevate Iowa State football. Good stuff.

An opportunity to watch one of the great programs in the sport. Also the men's team will be there
Exactly one month from today, Iowa wrestling fans have a pretty awesome opportunity on their hands. Now only can you watch both Hawkeye teams in the same place/afternoon, but both will be a part of top-10 dual matchups against formidable opponents. I know where I’ll be!

This is not healthy, nor should it be considered a badge of honor. Colorado State has given up 222 points over its last 4 games. Perhaps taking a step back every so often would be more helpful than this strategy.
WILD: Colorado State HC says his new DC has been sleeping at the office: “Kenny hasn’t been home in two weeks… We took our LB’s office and turned it into a bedroom.” 🤯

Man … if you think someone who would endorse a rabid, unapologetic racist like Bo French would also support legislation that would help athletes in revenue-producing sports, then you are beyond help.
Calling balls and strikes: This is a great message @bofrench.
