Pups are still nervous heading into the half. They wish Iowa had more cushion.
Iowa/Illinois game stopped by a seven-minute horn. Someone shoot it, please.

I’m reminded of "Deciderization 2007—a Special Report” (neugierig.org/content/dfw/...). I think about this passage all the time. Except now the problem's compounded by algorithmic slop and rage-baiting influencers. How many folks are even working to find good subcontractors for their info anymore?
Something I never expected to say in my life: I've been cited by the Atlantic. Very much identify with Charlie Warzel's take here, and appreciate the shout-out. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/03/world-monitor-situation-meme/686389/?gift=nwn-guseqS6cY1kVeEKZAa2i3j-oWrv2i7hciKpN3P4
