Zilwaukee a mere also-ran?

I feel like they’re being a lot more chill about late hits out of bounds throughout CFB this year. Probably good, on balance.

Arguably even one more Oklahoma-game-style drive was too many, but if we can at least stop there I’ll take it

Thank *you*, in turn. I am an overly-mindful extrovert (I want to connect with people, people give me energy, but I’m constantly afraid of foisting myself on people who aren’t interested) and that energy being out in the world has NOT been good for me.

We need to shut this park down until we figure out what is going on

“Swing well. I’ll most likely kill you in the 11th.”

It sounds like they’re ahead of the game just by asking!

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

Wait, do you have like a newsletter or something?

I assume the Biden WH was appropriately to overly weird about this because of But Her Emails, and a Republican has just never meant a word they’ve said about security and never considered anything beyond the instructions to use Signal for reasons seen in the Mueller Report.

If a Dem is ever elected President again, they should break into prime time TV announcing that they mistook JD Vance’s car for a drug trafficker and blew it up, then in 15 minutes say “just kidding, but now do you see how fucked up this is?”

Heard a “Grand Blanc” this week that frankly stunned me from, of all podcasters, Jane Coaston.

I was encouraged to see they can score!
But I can see how it would feel like a waste

My elementary school child?? Fucking car would be inoperable

Screenshot of partial text of the essay “My Wood” by EM Forster. It reads, “Men of weight cannot, by definition, move like the lightning from the East unto the West, and the ascent of a fourteen-stone bishop into a pulpit is thus the exact antithesis of the coming of the Son of Man. My wood makes me feel heavy.”

This is one of my Dad Responsibilities. Gives a new meaning to “sin eater”.

I don’t know if it was ever possible for Gus to get more Gus, and welcome aboard!

I mean, Weigel is describing reality. You’re allowed to lie. What he should be ashamed of is
- falling for it
- falling for conservatives pretending to fall for it
- the shit he’s going to fall for tomorrow instead of learning anything from this

Oh, man, I don’t think my Tandy even had a modem, but the blues song from ZZT still pops into my head sometimes. “…It’s not easy bein’ an Object/In a game called ZZT”

Why does everyone need to be on a street team for everything they like, now? We used to only annoy our closest friends and associates with that stuff.
So much of the internet was a bad idea.

Sunrise over Ann Arbor, looking ENE from the 7th floor of Mott Children’s Hospital.

More sunrise, a little more NNE-looking. You can see more of Medical Center Dr, and the horizon is a little tilty like an unprofessional photographer took the picture out of a window

Was just thinking yesterday morning about what an incredible show we get for free, every morning that isn’t overcast.

Right, this is not purely hypothetical

Also, it can really hurt to have it injected at the site of the bite, like if a little dog bites the base of your thumb.

That really was how much it cost to have a full week’s laundry washed and perfectly folded for us in Santorini, best money we spent on our honeymoon, we still talk about it.

Normally this requires being teed up by an email so ignorant and obnoxious that it provides a platform atop the sender’s head for burning coals to be heaped.

If you see this, post a bridge

Bald boy with an NG Tube in a “Block out cancer” shirt, smiling in front of multiple flexible hampers full of Monarch butterflies

COO of Mott Children’s Hospital applauding as a butterfly flies away from Felix, who’s cupping his hands with me behind him assisting

Felix holding a mini “Block out cancer” flag with a butterfly perched on the stick, spreading its wings

To be fair, he’s earned it! He released the first butterfly for Mott’s butterfly release for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the other day, and he’s putting in work on their social media.

I think that call is complete horseshit. I don’t think it was conclusive, and I don’t think they even review it if he just gains 3 more yards and goes down. I don’t even want Penn State to win, I just hate almost every usage of replay.

My son is in the hospital for 4 weeks for a bone marrow auto-transplant, been inpatient about 50 days since April. He’s locked on to the universal nurse question, “can I get you anything else?” when leaving, and is now asking for “cars” a dozen times a day. Gonna clean this place out of Hot Wheels.

As so often Happens? A fielder makes a spectacular play and then leads off the next inning. Since the dawn of baseball, it's been a common occurrence. Or has it? A PROFESSOR'S RESEARCH IGNITES LOGISTI... When the Cubs' Moises Alou leaped at the wall for Luis Castillo's long foul drive, timing it just right, in the top of the eighth inning of Game 6 of last

I read this in 2004 and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve noted the occurrence since then: vault.si.com/vault/2004/0...
(Admittedly, I’m not sure I’ve watched two full seasons’ worth of games in the two decades since, but still)
