Graham Coffey@GrahamCoffeyDC·
With Alabama through, it means that Georgia went 3-2 against the SEC’s four Sweet 16 teams this season. That included wins against Alabama and Texas within the past month Georgia going down by 40 to a 9-seed from the A10 makes no sense. We know the players said that the team didn’t play hard, but we still don’t know what internal or external factors created those dynamics. We will probably never gain a full and detailed understanding of what exactly happened, but the results of the last 4 days add another layer of reasons to make it feel like something odd occurred with this UGA team to make it check out on this season as it hit the tournament it worked all year to reach. Considering what we saw from this team on its best nights, and the fact that it lost by more than 15 points just once in the regular season and never got beat by more than 20, UGA’s performance as the betting favorite on Thursday night feels like one of the strangest showings we’ve seen in an NCAA Tournament in recent memory.

@CheeseForEvery1 @jarvis_best the only valid half-baked idea is that it's like English football where you have promotion and relegation b/w top tier/mid-tier/low tier conferences.

@RyanRadia @DistractedAnna it's hard to happily eat out on fast food b/c so many ppl our age can recall a lunch meal being roughly $5.00 and the world doesn't seem terribly different from those prices

@DistractedAnna Looks like that location opened on 1/30/2020, and the price of a sandwich meal was $8.09 at launch. ($8.09 to $12.25 in 6 years 2 months is a higher price increase than I was expecting.)

In case you were wondering. The St. Louis team that absolutely demolished Georgia just got beat by almost 25 by Michigan. So no the Billikens are not the greatest team in NCAA history. Sorry Dawg fans.

The EU doesn’t need America to adopt this nonsense
Visegrád 24@visegrad24

‘Whiteness’ and ‘Europeanness’ A Danger to EU, ECFR Report Claims: The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) has published a report warning of the danger that “whiteness” and “Europeanness” pose to the EU. Titled “Welcome to Barbieland: European sentiment in the year of wars and elections”, the report discussed how many people have become “visibly disillusioned with the European project” in a way that has surprised those supportive of the bloc. Rather than citing economic or energy issues faced by the EU, the report blamed, among other things, how “white” the MEPs elected by EU citizens are following the 2024 European Parliament elections in June. “In most countries, non-white and Muslim people were underrepresented in candidate lists … no more than 20 non-white MEPs were elected this year – less than 3 per cent of the total, and well below the 10 per cent share that racial and ethnic minorities are estimated to account for in the EU population,” the report states. “One might also wonder whether the EU’s normalised xenophobia may not put some young people off the European project altogether while habituating other young people to an ‘ethnic’ conception of Europeanness, and thus allowing them to feel able to vote for the far-right.” Overall, the ECFR warned that there was a public “drift” towards understanding “Europeanness” in ethnic terms, rather than in a “civic” way it viewed as more constructive. Such a drift, it added, was becoming more common amongst the EU’s youngest voters, further arguing that this same drift may stop more liberal-leaning young people from supporting Brussels in the future.

@UN_News_Centre @UNFPA they should definitely move to Egypt since they are Egyptian. I wonder why Egypt doesn't want Egyptians to move into Egypt?

@ThomBrady5 it's almost like our current form of government is the SECOND form and was created in 1788 after frustration at the lack of unitary authority in a single decision maker for military purposes, as had been the case under the FIRST form of government.

You can see America is a military empire because if the empire needs something, they can fast-track $15 billion dollars of weapons by ignoring Congress, but if you want to give young American college graduates jobs taken by foreigners, this gets slow-walked for 30 years.

"Marco Rubio is circumventing Congress to fast-track the sale up to $16.5 billion in air defense systems, radars and missiles to Middle East allies that have borne the brunt of Iranian retaliation," per Bloomberg.

@thepdviking They light barbecues, cook in gallons of oil, and then pour their used oil onto the ground and in waterways, along with all the other waste and packaging. It’s utterly incompatible with the culture of our countryside.

@actionxander this is great news - i had no idea. i've thought for yrs that the Savannah River Site would be a great location to re-introduce a heard of Bison. central Georgia has several creeks and roads that reference Buffalo - a reminder that they were here when the settlers first came

FWIW, in both Blood Meridian and No Country For Old Men, McCarthy makes explicit reference to hauling furniture and worldviews from Kentucky to the American SW, rooting his deep Americana in a specifically Ulster Protestant folk-culture, anthropologically observed from his own, later, Irish Catholic migratory tradition
Aris Roussinos@arisroussinos

The more significant Ulster Protestant diaspora, to the American south via Philadelphia, has its own political culture derived from radical opposition to the Westminster state and New World border reiving, difficult to slot into the post mid-19th c imperial Loyalist tradition
