@CougfanCOM @Coug_206 @wazzu010 B.S. - this was a 100 year mistake that has forever damaged WSU and your making vague platitudes about politics? Why are you defending the political leadership that let this happen?

@Coug_206 @wazzu010 There’s no tilting at windmills in politics. All energy and personal capital must be spent on the issues and ideas you think you can win for your side. We talked w the rep who introduced the bill: said he’d never seen such violent pushback on any bill in his career.

@CougfanCOM @Coug_206 @wazzu010 Why was it DOA? We do have WSU affiliated politicians who were eager to put up a fight! It was criminal that Inslee and Shulz did nothing to keep WSU and UW in the same conference. Stop making excuses for people who failed.

@Coug_206 @wazzu010 That bill was dead on arrival. UW would never have allowed it to get out of the subcommittee level and, if somehow it did advance, their fans would have marched on Cauce’s office and the offices of every UW grad in the legislature.

@Noahpinion @JCeacc @Noahpinion you should do a post on where the foundational tech for ASML actually came from. Harkens back to a time when Europe and the US actually cooperated… but also such an indictment of the actual lack of home grown European innovation

WOAH 🚨 Nick Shirley exposes there are 1,200 medical transport companies in Minnesota. For a year, photos with timestamps were taken of the vans that are supposed to be used by these companies NONE MOVED IN A YEAR. They sit parked, but are getting paid to transport patients “I have been to many of these transportation companies and I've been time stamping my photographs for a whole year at one facility in Minneapolis and those vans in that parking lot had not moved one inch in an entire year. They're all still sitting there” “So when you think about it, you have with the transportation companies, you have the adult care centers. So are they working hand in hand together to then say we're getting the services from them adult daycare centers to then transport them to their appointments” (and it’s ALL FRAUD)

I don’t think everyone realizes how polarizing it is to watch someone steal an amount of money they’ve worked 30 years for by throwing up a sign in a vacant building and sending the government an invoice

Congress will be taking a hard look at the tax exempt status of universities that enter into private equity deals. If you want to act like a non-public entity, you better be ready to be treated like one. 🇺🇸

In a groundbreaking endeavor, the University of Utah athletics is entering into what could be a $500M+ equity partnership with Otro Capital featuring the creation and shared ownership of a for-profit entity to operate athletics, sources tell @YahooSports. bit.ly/44hUcZJ

WSU’s first call should be Jason Eck. Pull that off and you upgrade coaches.

Since 2015, WSU has now appeared in 9 Bowl Games. For reference, UCLA has played in 5 bowl games in that time and USC has played in 8.

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces. But I see everything. Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments. One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?" "6:15," he said, confused. "Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it." He blinked. "You... you can do that?" "I can now," I said. Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?" "Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing." He cried. Right there in the parking lot. Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic. But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!" "Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel." He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us." The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over." Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it. But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note, "Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends" People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket. I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece." So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones. Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees. It's not glamorous. But it's everything." Let this story reach more hearts.... Credit: Mary Nelson

Being a Coug fan rocks. You get wins that make memories to last a lifetime. My 14 year old and I have already rushed the field probably 10 times after great wins, been to bowl games, meet coaches and players, gotten arm sleeves and gloves from guys after games —- all for a fraction of the cost/effort/access of other schools…

@SnoqualmiePass Was there a pilot car? Was there a route approved by the state? (“Having the wrong permit” seems like the smallest infraction possible here…)

Just reading about how state of the art AI/LLMs ‘ONLY’ correctly understand the Persian cultural custom of “taarof” (refusing an offer when someone actually means yes) in conversations… while native Persian speakers get it right right a while 82% of the time… (How the heck is a social ritual natives can only get right 80% of the time? … what’s the failure rate of Iranian negotiations?!… oh…)
