  1. It’s not super odd; almost all right-wing or “mental health” shootings are lone wolves but Islamic/jihadist attacks are not always but frequently planned and carried out in groups. The radicalization process is also different, it is extremely likely that these two were connected in person and partially radicalized in a community; incels and right wingers do it almost all online.
  2. Agreed, and that shows how pear shaped this athletic department has gotten. I mean, Juwan Howard got a “one assault and battery on another team’s coach free” card.
  3. All he had to do was follow the script: ”I’m deeply embarrassed for my actions and how they have harmed my family, friends, and everyone who loves Michigan football. I know there will be consequences and I am prepared to accept those as I work towards rebuilding some trust and showing that this failure does not define me as a person. I’m here to help my successor in every way I can and will always be grateful for the opportunities this university gave me.” He’d have been an analyst on some staff probably before next season and a position coach within a couple years. Unfortunately breaking into houses and screaming about murder/suicide changes your future employment options.
  4. Since this was likely his first time taking two rounds while single-handedly disarming a deranged jihadist during a shooting spree, I’m giving him an A on the practical portion. A few more reps and he can get an A+ by killing the jihadi with his bare hands or using the gun to take down the other shooter, too.
  5. Dude, it is absolutely bananas to believe that UM powers that be wanted anything OTHER than for Moore to be a highly successful Black head coach. Have folks not been on a major university campus recently? The pretty pro forma investigation that went nowhere is fairly compelling evidence that no one on that campus was itching to ring him up for playing in the snow.
  6. File for me under “least surprising philosopher to be linked to Epstein.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/22/noam-chomsky-jeffrey-epstein-ties-emails
  7. One shooter is named, Naveed Akram. Unclear whether Pakistani or Afghani, apparently a student in Sydney. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-14/law-enforcement-source-identifies-bondi-gunman-as-naveed-akram/106141750
  8. The guy who disarmed the shooter got shot twice.
  9. Griz vs. Bobcats and Nova vs. (likely) Illinois State for the semis. Maybe biggest ever sporting event for Montana.
  10. I’m not buying the racist angle of this because we have a near perfect comparator case in Bobby Petrino. Bobby Petrino also nailed a blonde a few decades younger and then gave her a well-remunerated state job and he also got fired. I think we can all agree that Arkansas is several times more racist than Michigan and also Petrino won more games with less talent. Arkie fired him for this type of stuff. If Moore had simply crashed a motor vehicle into a phone pole and then given a presser in a neck brace he would be open to a redemptive arc and being interim HC one day but unfortunately he crashed out hard. It is what it is. Threatening to do murder and breaking into houses has bigger consequences, who knew?
  11. I think I can speak for everyone that this was hilarious at first, then I was worried it was serious and sad, then I found out that the murder suicide threat was with a butter knife and it became hilarious again.
  12. I mean honestly what else are you gonna do with two adults knocking boots on the DL. This wasn’t some criminal investigation. Hiring a PI or doing anything beyond looking at work systems is……fraught.
  13. That’s the face of a man who realizes that threatening murder was really overdoing the whole mental health crisis bit.
  14. He’s (maybe partially not consciously) buying himself some time to think of next steps and hoping that the threat of self-harm and his fragile mental state will dissuade others from measuring out full consequences.
  15. Have you ever considered letting people just believe in the magic of Christmas man.
  16. “It would be tender, but passionate,” Saban continued. “Under her staid pantsuit a universe of pleasure waiting. Quivering.” A few coughs in the meeting room. The coach’s distant gaze came back in focus. ”So…uh…just remember your assignment and win the next play. Let’s go beat Middle Tennessee.”
  17. Subordinate and handing out a promotion at a government institution. A state job. Easy and inevitable call. Not firing him gets the AD fired if it ever comes out.
  18. This is always gonna be true to me. Now a load-bearing pillar in my mental landscape.
