She's not on twitter much these days, but @mmdaviesostrom's debut novel is out tomorrow, so here's another shameless plug: RISE FROM THESE DARK WATERS is in North American distribution only; if you can't find it on bookstore shelves, you can order it from most booksellers.

The Cowboys were hosting an 0-4 team. The Eagles were kicking off with the lead with 7 seconds left. The Giants and Commanders freaking played each other. And the NFC East didn’t win a game this week. This division may be something special.

When I become President, I will, by executive order, outlaw in-game interviews with managers and coaches.

By and large - with some major exceptions - I find political cartoons a slowly-dying art that I badly wish got a rejuvenation injection. This might be that. This is a space laser. One of the very best I've seen in...ever. Like if Gary Larson traded wholesomeness for a nuke.

Wild that we've made it this far on @Preferred_WO . I remember the days when we were still only at 3,500. Major shoutout to @CFBMaxChadwick @eli_nagel_ , and of course our fantastic audience that has supported us through it all. Join the party for a hell of a 2026 CFB season 🤘

Whenever l am slightly disrespected by a man, I remember my favorite Michelle Obama lore. There's a story about them dining at a restaurant when they learned the chef used to be Michelle's high school boyfriend Barack joked, lf you were still with him, you could have been the owner of this nice restaurant." Michelle replied, "No. If I were still with him, he would have been President of the United States." And that's the energy every woman should have about her own worth.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As the propsed note by 'quotable shoreline condor' states, the Michelle Obama story is an urban legend. Here is the Snopes post snopes.com/fact-check/spo… which cites, with links, the Clinton and Bush examples, as well as others including a 1994 version about NYC mayor David Dinkins.

This is some incredible skills!!
This view of Abbey Murphy's assist to Bella Fanale yesterday is ridiculous. The guts to try this at full speed, and skill to pull it off...she's a fun player to watch.

I’m growing increasingly concerned about Zohran Mamdani’s new staff hires. There are far too many people with real-life, firsthand experience—and not nearly enough Fox News hosts. New York City is doomed.

Internet research say to let it sit up up 30 minutes and taste along the way to see when it hits the sweet spot. @Whisky_Yak am I doing this right?

The @dallascowboys suck. They have been a franchise in decline since Jerry fired Jimmy Johnson. Jerry doesn’t have the skills to create a championship team. He has shown that repeatedly over the past 30 years. They’ve had good teams but never great.
