He should have walked away after the first. They blew the call, but to go back to the ref after the 1st t, poor judgment on Jaylen's part. But yeah, as a Celtics fan, it stinks.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

The Hawks should have an Irresponsible Gambling Night sponsored by Kalshi

That’s more in line with NBA ethics

You read enough non-feminist bioethics (especially non-feminist Jewish and Catholic bioethics, IME) and you can recognize this kind of argument for what it is from miles away. For "coffee," read "abortion," "birth control," "gender-affirming care," "uncloseted queer people existing in public," etc.

Fair play to the Quakers for being seen as a threat to the English state for a solid 375 years.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Welp. Not a great ball, but that's on Mosquera.

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

If you want reporters to dig into Platner's lies more, share this thread. Make it go viral so reporters can't ignore it.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

This is supersessionism. Like the definitive example (not Chris. Hesgeth).

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

Man if Hurzeler thought Arsenal were bad, he should watch Spurs for a change. Yeesh.

I have found TPM invaluable for years, and all the moreso as the oligarchic capture of media continues apace.
