I am not at war.

Heat was on Hubert Davis before the season and it's high to end it after blowing a 19 point lead in the second half vs #VCU. I asked Seth Trimble and Henri Veesaar to evaluate their head coach. #UNC

For those curious about High Point University: It's in High Point, North Carolina. High Point is the furniture capital of the World There is a massive chest of drawers downtown High Point hosts two furniture markets every year, which bring $6.7 billion to the area's economy.

As a Duke homer I'm all here for Tar Heels weeping and gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes and what not. But really guys, you are freaking lucky to have Hubert Davis as your coach. First round upsets happen. Your best player got injured. I don't know what else to tell ya.

Today will go down as one of the truly great "hold my beer" moments in Triangle sports history. All my Tar Heel follows want heads on pikes before midnight. Good golly.

@KellyInPhoenix Simple pleasures really are the best.

Whenever I’m feeling sad, I remember we have tiny ice at the office, and I’m happy again.

If I’m Talarico’s campaign manager, he starts training today to win the Big Texan 72oz steak challenge.

Some people don’t realize how huge this is. His case was a huge example of cops raiding someone with no evidence or even probable cause. Than said cops trying to act like victims who actually broke the law.

@compgeke @suchnerve This is basically the main selling point of Volvos.

@suchnerve As an American, I *must* have a big SUV because I plan on crashing. When I do crash, I need to make sure I can absolutely destroy someone else's family because mine's more important. This is why I must drive a 6100lb SUV to Taco Bell. It's just to keep my kids safe. (/s)

Sedans have got to make a comeback. I am so tired of seeing SUVs everywhere! (The small SUVs get a pass, but they’re on thin ice.) ***it should be implicitly understood that robust, fast, cheap public transit would be far better than continuing to rely on cars***

This game is so fantastic because it's just Barkley and Vitale talking about the history of basketball.

Dargo was right about ignoring today's weather forecast

Paul Ehrlich has died. He was 93. He is survived by 8,300,678,394 people (134% increase from 1968), with a daily worldwide average calorie intake of 2,800 kcal (a 22% increase).

@ProsperCLT2023 1 but only because it's the aisle seat next to the bathroom.

1, 2, 4, and 8 would all be incredible... it would be tough to pass hanging out with al bundy

@DHPIV @tsnmike Important but not major. If it were a major conference, they would be the ones doing the expanding.

@EmperorSean @tsnmike So any conference who has teams snapped up by a major conference is a major conference?

Point of order: was Big East a major football conference in 2011? Genuinely asking.

ACC CHAMPS x 3‼️

@tsnmike @DHPIV It was important enough that most of their teams got snapped up by bigger conferences. We took Louisville, Pitt, and Syracuse from that group.

@DHPIV Yes

@joeovies You are the one person I know who might know if this artifact I've held onto for far too long has any value to anyone.

Must be consumed when they win it all.

A priest in Florida faces a fine of over $500,000 for feeding the homeless. Rezoning led to Father Bob's soup kitchen being suddenly ruled illegal to run in 2014, but he's kept going for the past 12 years and refuses to stop helping others.

@reason Brian was a great guy. So sorry to hear this.

We are sad to report that Senior Editor Brian Doherty has died. Brian wrote six books, including "Radicals for Capitalism," a seminal history of the modern American libertarian movement. He had an inspiring commitment to covering the ways free people choose to live their lives, and he will be missed. A full obituary will appear soon at reason.com.
