The best backcourt in college basketball resides in Storrs.

It’s crazy that UConn has 4+ venues, in different states/cities, that are basically home venues.

A lot of rats are going to pretend they didn’t spend the past few years whoring themselves out to Trump and it’s crucial not to let them get away with it.

Ossoff: "In sweeping and decisive victories, the American people have rebuked the depravity, corruption, and incompetence of the failed lame duck president, Donald J Trump"

This “mean tweets” line of argument are among the most facile. To say that Trump’s actions haven’t been extreme is to say that naked corruption, an illegal war, lying about an election and then trying to overturn the results, and then pardoning the violent protestors who sacked the capitol, weaponizing the DOJ, siding with dictators over democracies, putting masked agents on the streets who have shot Americans, that none of that is extreme behavior. Which is a genuinely insane position. And obviously that’s just scratching the surface off the top of my head.
OBAMA: The president wasn't even mad. About The Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about The Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House.
They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

"Donald Trump and his family are executing corruption at a scale never previously contemplated in the American experiment. If we are to ever graduate from this era of brazen graft, the first step is to notice." A service, from @MattWelch. reason.com/2026/07/09/the-mo…

Not many teams --- in an exhibition game or a regular season game --- could go to East Lansing and beat Michigan State.
To do it without Braylon Mullins is an incredible achievement.
UConn is still UConn.

We found Wu-Tang's infamous 1-of-1 album, "Once Upon A Time in Shaolin" — once purchased by pharma bro Martin Shkreli — and played it for Method Man (and you) for the first time.

Totally insane levels of corruption and abuse of power are swirling all around us and my sense is that as angry as voters are about the cost of living they mostly are so awash in cynicism about politics that they don’t understand how egregious Trump is.
Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate-- then were told to lay off. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
