Actually, they're those UNC teams I mentioned in reverse - great regular seasons and shocking upsets at the end. Good seasons certainly, but not great, because not only did they not end well, but ended in shocking first-round upsets. It's obviously better for a team to do both - great regular...

And of course Evangelical MAGAs are all convinced that God and Jesus are on their side, so they can't possibly lose. Just like they can't imagine how any Christian could possibly vote Democratic. All Democrats are going to hell, plain and simple. And if Dear Leader and his minions tell them that...

It was one of the greatest seasons in UNC history - you should judge seasons by how they ended, imo, not by how they went the first half or 2/3 or whatever. And his third season wasn't bad, we did go 29-8 and were a #1 seed. Again, I'm not arguing that he shouldn't be fired at the end of this...

She's desperate to win the presidency and mistakenly believes that maybe sucking up to Dear Leader will get it for her. Now that he's gotten what he wanted from her he'll ignore her as if she never existed. But yeah, it's a bootlicking thing to do and I doubt it will win any Venezuelans to her...

It's always projection with these people, all the damned time. Every accusation against a Democrat or liberal is a confession.

I was replying to the dismissal of Hubert's first season on the basis that we were a #8 seed, which completely overlooks what a great season that turned out to be. I was often struck that season by how dismissive many UNC fans were on IC of how great that season ended - on the free board there...

He's a monster, pure and simple. And as straight-up evil as anyone in this administration, including Trump.

Yes, but that was a helluva run over those two months, and one of greatest in UNC history - we humiliated our greatest rival's greatest coach in his last home game, and then did it again just a few weeks later in the Final Four and ended his career. That's no small thing. And I'm well aware that...

Very interesting at what parts of the world Trump 2.0 doesn't want to take immigrants from - except for Russia, they're places mostly filled with people who don't look like white America.

He's been up and down, but in his first four seasons he had two bad seasons and two good ones (we went 29-8 and were a #1 seed just a couple of years ago) and we got off to a very good start this season, although it's certainly gone south lately. I'm well aware that he had no head coaching...

If you live in Greenland, at this point is there really going to be that much difference between the two? I mean, either way you're going to be ruled by a narcissistic kleptocrat who will take your healthcare and other benefits, take away your self-governance, occupy you militarily, and rape...

Yep. The real driving force in our government and politics today are retirees in places like Florida or Arizona who bitch about everything and for whom literally everything was better when they were younger, and white voters living in places like Wyoming, South Dakota, and West Virginia.

So all of those Venezuelan immigrants who supported Trump in 2024 (and I know one), and even if they couldn't vote tried to influence those who could, are now being told to go home because Maduro is gone and they're no longer wanted or allowed to stay here. I wonder how they feel now?

So now we're down to "let's just lock up most of our history teachers" for teaching reality over conservative myths. One of the first tactics of fascists when they took over nations in Europe in the 1930s was to fire or even kill any teachers that were not blatantly right-wing. In the Spanish...

My wife and I both use Verizon, and both of our phones were out for several hours. Couldn't text, call, or connect to the internet. Luckily we didn't have an emergency and had to call or text anyone, but it still makes you realize just how vulnerable you are if your phone isn't working and you...
