The first six months after a time change are the hardest.
All I knew was Springsteen and Jersey, decided Boss *might* work. Had the three other groups.

What does boss in that context mean, the player whose initials are at the top of the leader board? Thatβs all I could think of. The blues required less thought than the others, though it could have been a trick.
Exciting news for infectious disease enthusiasts: measles is back in Colorado after years of vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. @spencersoicher.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social:
The βTehran Squareβ Hegseth refers to here does not exist. Heβs probably thinking of Tahrir Square in Cairo. Azadi Square would be the rough equivalent in Iran.

The cyclist, a 41-year-old woman, died at the scene. The driver faces charges of a felony hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, according to a statement from the Pleasant Hill Police Department.
A moment of silence, please, and one last book to put down and gun to pick up, weβre gonna have a whole lotta fun β and itβs 1-2-3, what are we fighting for? Donβt ask me, I donβt give a damn, next stop is Vietnam β¦ whoopee, weβre all gonna die β with the passing of Country Joe McDonald.
I never worked in TV

The thing that's most damning about this from a media ethics standpoint (yes, I know) is that most of the audience and Trump supporters probably wouldn't have noticed the ball cap. But the people at Fox News knew it was a bad look and they made an active potter box decision to run the old footage.

The #49ers have re-signed Eddy Pineiro. Someone apparently is pleased.
NewsNation parentco Nexstar appears totally fine to torch its cable network's credibility in hopes the Trump admin will greenlight its megamerger.
But weaponizing White House attacks on CNN as a marketing play is a disgraceful new low. My latest for @status.news www.status.news/p/newsnation...

Great to see yet another attempt to weaken the vital β if imperfect β Colorado Open Records Act die in the legislature. Thanks to @jeffreyaroberts.bsky.social for helping spearhead media opposition to this bill.

Looked daunting at first, with what HAD to be a Shakespearean herring of the red variety. But it just fell together quickly. Fun!

Americans skipped the rally-around-the-president stage this time. JFK gained 13 points after Cuban Missile Crisis, LBJ 8 after bombing Hanoi, GHW Bush 18 during Gulf War, GW Bush 8 after Saddam captured, Obama 11 after OBL killed. Trump gained 0 since Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/u...
