I hope my email never finds you.
I hope you continue to elude it. I hope you find the freedom for which you yearn.
Run. Be free.

Duke football is ranked 21st in the new Coaches Poll after a 4-0 start. Duke was last ranked in 2023.

People will think I'm crazy for this take, but I'm a big believer in the psychological impact of narratives on teams. Yes, Belgium looked so much better tonight and we looked lost. But this team had a boatload of good vibes behind them, and in the last 48 hours that vanished, and replacing it was a story of implicit political corruption that turned them into the bad guys, or at least the beneficiary of the corruption. You can't tell me that doesn't put pressure on the team, change the vibe, and take a psychological toll that impacted what happened on the field. American fans, serious and casual, should be pissed at this interference. We overturned a red card and our reward was losing what made this team so much fun until now.

They key to understanding the sense of urgency behind this 37-page elections bill is a lot of Republican leaders saw Jefferson Griffin's failure to steal the 2024 Supreme Court race as a big missed opportunity.
Don't forget - Griffin and the NCGOP almost got away with it. These people literally asked NC courts to throw out votes from military servicemembers and NC residents - who were readily identifiable in person - on the basis of Calvinball rules they made up after the election.
The North Carolina justice system failed in 2024, and was only forced back into Constitutional compliance by the federal courts. And instead of righting the ship, these people are now doubling-down on election meddling instead.
