In the comments under the post on Troy Taylor's dismissal, a regular poster, Rugbear, has figured out what the problem there is: it's a "woke institution." I guess those crazy wokesters will never learn and will continue -- along with DEI -- to destroy all they touch.

BREAKING: Stanfurd, the preeminent university for creating private equity billionaires, has gone woke by respecting women and punishing bad behavior.

Chiggie Anusiem was a talented Cal CB who transferred to Colorado State after getting in the dog house for his inconsistent play. He did pretty well at CSU, earning HM all conference. He is currently a bubble roster player on the Browns and has no stats due to him being on the bench nearly the whole time.

Chase Garbers was the starter for the UFL San Antonio Brahmas last season. He got injured and lost his starting job but then returned for the inaugural UFL Championship game. He is no longer on the Brahmas roster and his backup role has been usurped by Furdie Kevin Hogan.

I've lived in the US for a decade now and I still find them all the time in random pockets and pouches

Depends which ziploc bag you find. Over the weekend I had a singapore dollar coin on the counter when I emptied out my backpack to use skiing and No 3 saw it and thought it was pretty cool. From traveling, I've got some Euros, Yen, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, I think some Taiwan dollars, and S Korean won.

Yeah I think there is a ziploc bag somewhere in my parents house that has a collection of pre-euro coins (kronners for sure) and Mexican pesos.

Might be late on this but Adolescence -- a British show on Netflix -- is brilliant. One of those shows like The Wire that's on a whole other level of television.

TIL: Eddie Van Halen is half-Asian. His mom is Dutch-Indonesian.

Yup! Though I think he's more like a quarter as his mom was mixed. But she was from Indonesia for sure.

His brother got more of the Asian features I think, but you could see it more in Eddie as he aged.

We’re #1, we’re #1. I wonder though about how accurate any of the reporting is. Is anyone really paying attention anymore.

If the information isn’t classified I wouldn’t mind seeing a transcript.

Expand full comment

I love how they kept calling Goldberg a liar and saying that nothing in the chat was classified, so then he went and published the details which clearly should have been classified.

Now of course the argument is that Goldberg was wrong to publish these national secrets. You mean the conversation that wasn't classified?

Thanks, I found it in the meantime too.

Warriors, still missing Steph Curry get destroyed by Heat in Jimmy Butler III’s return

https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2025/3/25/24394059/warriors-heat-scores-recap-jimmy-butler-iii-andrew-wiggins-steph-curry-injury

Basketball is, at times, a simple sport. See ball, shoot ball, hope it goes in. It’s a more complicated game than that, of course, but sometimes the autopsy for a game still boils down to that. And at some level, that was the case for Tuesday’s 112-86 demolition of the Golden State Warriors by the Miami Heat.

From what I saw of this game, the Warriors were incredibly sloppy on their end, regardless of Miami's hot shooting. Turnovers galore.
