    Yeah, beating the Bears isn't considered an achievement.

    The company is asking for the $350,000 it paid Meadows as an advance for the book, $600,000 in out-of-pocket damages, and at least $1 million each for reputational damage suffered by the company and loss of expected profits for the book, which they argue plummeted given Meadows’s involvement in numerous investigations regarding Jan. 6. TG, you missed the opportunity to start the Mark Meadows edition of the Go Magat, Go Broke series.

    This was one of the things I hated when I was a journalism major 45 years ago. Everybody wanted to be Woodward and Bernstein, and the responsibility to inform was being lost. We see the end result of that now, and it became worse than i could imagine.

    Sad. In those pictures he seems to have gotten breasts for real. I wonder how that worked in his IRL clothes.

    You really haven’t been paying attention if you see this as anything but business as usual.

    @Axtremus said in High School Basketball "Superstar" - Sad Story: "No direct evidence." I will wait for more investigation to turn up more evidence. Also curious to see if the 2nd Amendment folks will start yelling "stand your ground" or "casa doctrine." Not enough details to make that claim. If they were driving away when he shot up the car, then the Stand Your Ground laws wouldn’t hold water. Besides, do they have STG and Castle Doctrine in LA? I bet no.

    9:44 the debate about the supposed AI generated baby picture. I tried researching it and can find no legitimate news touching it. There are some sleepy looking Arab sites and Reddit threads that claim it’s AI, but the only article I can find that actually addresses the veracity is an article in the Anti Defamation League site. https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/generative-artificial-intelligence-gai-increasing-fog-war-between-israel-and-hamas I’ll score this to Shapiro. He definitely nailed the “theologian compassion” guy, too. Shapiro 3-0

    The only people who seem to be concerned about this for the most part are a few academics and progressives, mostly white women. The aboriginal folks here are taking in it stride and generally accepting her for what she has given them over the years through her music and advocacy. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/buffy-sainte-marie-reaction-piapot-1.7011149 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/be-gentle-with-yourself-indigenous-northerners-wrestle-with-legacy-of-buffy-sainte-marie-1.7014280
