For some reason New York Magazine has decided to hire the dude who wrote the novel about using the power to stop time to take women's clothes off to write up a wholly evidence-free conspiracy theory about the origins of COVID Image

11 more Republican senators join Josh Hawley’s authoritarian sedition caucus lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/01/11-mor…
Hawley, Cruz et al. are using literal Jim Crow logic. And don't take my word for it, they're using the infamous panel that gave Republicans the presidency in exchange for ending Reconstruction *as their affirmative model*:
The theory of Hawley, Cruz, et al. is that urban voters, disproportionately voters of color, must be disenfranchised so that white rural voters whose candidate lost don’t feel disenfranchised. That’s it. These 12 Senators are flat-out enemies of American democracy.

What's weird about Tanking for the One Indispensable Prospect theory is how few championship teams are actually built that way lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/12/nfl-op…
Burrow was almost as hyped as Lawrence and if we did the 2020 draft over again the #6 pick (and 3rd QB taken) would almost certainly go #1.
LOL all those "the Jets pulling off a historic upset was ACTUALLY bad" takes are even dumber than they were at the time espn.com/nfl/boxscore?g…
