today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason
Volunteer to coach or ref or whatever, it rules.
In lighter news, coaching 8U girls basketball continues to be awesome. Sad to have this season closing down when they’re really starting to get into it, sigh. Next year!
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.
Great organization in Minnesota hiring a communications organizer. I bet someone here should apply.
Platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram used to be called "social media" but that has been a misnomer for just as long. They're media giants that prefer to be called something else so they neither have to pay nor take responsibility for the content they provide. It's a far more lucrative model.
Survey 160 is hiring for multiple contract survey manager roles. This is a particularly good fit for PhD students who are looking for some experience in industry or for someone a few years out of undergrad with some experience in the survey industry already. Please reach out to me with any questions
Both Carolinas and Wisconsin getting Top Chef before the Twin Cities is… proof we don’t subsidize production enough lol
Bring back doing insane and cool things
watching oil trade with no position
Nelsie Yang’s uncle spent five days in detention as she scrambled to find an attorney to get him out. HwaJeong Kim stood between protesters and ICE and police, trying to mediate the situation on Rose Avenue. Anika Bowie woke to armed agents at her door who were there to arrest her husband. Noecker…
The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Also lol at “suck it up” for the 400m, the most painful event in all of running. Good stuff, that guy!
The amount of parents I’ve had to tell that they’re screaming at their kids to do something that isn’t allowed during youth basketball… smh
Americans think nearly half of social media users post toxic/fake content. the actual number is closer to 3-7%. a small group of highly active users produces most of the harmful posts, but the misperception itself makes people feel worse about the state of the U.S academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...
It took two overtimes, but Moorhead wins the class AA hockey championship
Spuds!
This is all before we get to the real reform: height divisions and/or position limits in basketball!!! What if I’d like to watch people who actually need to jump to dunk a basketball from time to time?!?
Seems like it would open up some new roster building strategies as well?
Seems like it’d be way easier to just get rid of draft and max individual player salaries but keep overall cap in place?
Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

If we have to resort to the children of NHL’ers all-star teams so be it!!
Spuds!
The high school boys hockey tournament is still stunning to me after over two decades in Minnesota. The quality of play, the vibes, basically everything it’s awesome.
Well. In case it wasn’t already clear, the Gophers go as Tori McKinney goes. Hopefully we’re still hosting.
3rd foul for elbow to head contact while being fouled. Neat.
Ruh roh Gophers. Two on McKinney and looked like another head issue? That’s a tournament altering problem there. 🫣
Incredibly illuminating to compare income and hours worked across countries and states for ***the bottom 95% of earners only***. The typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less
