With the ball on your opponent's 46, you can attempt a 64-yard FG. If you miss, the other team gets the ball on THEIR opponent's 46, and can attempt their own 64-yarder. Any attempt longer than 64 means that, of you miss, the other team could immediately attempt a shorter FG.
Cam Little hit a 68-yard field goal, breaking Justin Tucker’s NFL record by two yards. Tucker held that mark for four years and one month.
If your "conservatism" flirts with 16-year-olds, it's not conservatism. We are defenders of America, not pedophilia. You can't save Western Civilization white diddling underage prostitutes.
If your “conservatism” flirts with interventionism, it’s not conservatism. We are defenders of America, not globalism. You can’t save Western Civilization while echoing the lies of Netanyahu.
I agree that it is very likely that Trump will be President in 2028, since his term runs until January 2029.
Steve Bannon: “Well he’s gonna get a third term. Trump is gonna be president in ‘28 and people ought to just get accommodated with that. At the appropriate time we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in ‘28.”
"Surgically designed to rebut any opposition" except for its unconstitutionality and unenforceability (if it applies to individuals and property that no longer have a nexus with the state).
And here is our story on this, from Harold Meyerson, who describes it as surgically designed to rebut any opposition, while providing just a start at rebalancing the horrific wealth inequality that has caused so many of our recent challenges. prospect.org/2025/10/23/unv…

The fastest and most effective way to erode the usefulness of an LLM is to monetize it via advertising.
SOURCES: OpenAI is planning to bring ads to ChatGPT. Also: In a message to employees, Sam Altman says he wants 250 gigawatts of compute by 2033. He calls OpenAI's team behind Stargate a "core bet" like research / robotics. "Doing this right will cost trillions."
“I got fired for my speech.” “Oh no! What did you say?” “It’s ok to murder someone for their speech.”
Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired
They should hang these signs on every almond tree in California instead. (Actually, since desalinated water is basically free, we could just do that and not sorry about it.)
I was in a bathroom in SFO and every sink had a sign above it saying that California’s in a drought, please be mindful of your water use. Do we really want the public trying to conserve the water they use washing their hands in a massive airport?
The "Elon Musk pays no taxes" plan is sure to be super popular.
Have four or more babies in Hungary and you'll pay no income tax for life When are we going to do this in America?
Improving trash collection in these regions is a far more effective way to reduce ocean plastics than banning plastic straws in rich countries.
Only those who like pickles.
TX is a fake low-tax state. No state income tax, but large cities (where all the people live) have massive property tax burdens.
This almost certainly violated his 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th amendment rights, but I suspect that sending people to Central American torture prisons isn't clearly established under QI case law, so the people that did it will have Qualified Immunity.
The Washington Post reports that Andry Hernández, the gay makeup artist who entered the US legally via the CBP One app, was sexually assaulted by guards in the torture chamber, CECOT.
Decline is a choice.
Interesting article in Nature suggests China has driven down nuclear power plant costs and kept them stable over two decades, beating the "cost escalation curse" with local supply chains and standardized designs. I wonder how much is transferable to other country contexts.
For people who came of age watching WGN broadcasts of Cubs day games after school, Ryne Sandberg was an absolute legend. RIP.
Ultimately, it's about energy density. The Navy has already figured out the most efficient fuel, but civilian nuclear ships haven't quite happened yet.
Neat podcast with @drvolts on electric boats. In some parts of the economy, electrification is very hard and doesn't obviously improve the experience. But electric boats seem on the horizon, and may be much better (less noise, pollution, etc) volts.wtf/p/whats-going-…
July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon. A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by. An achievement resulting from years of…
Someone put My Cousin Vinny dialogue over Skeletor and Evil-Lyn and its way too perfect
