McNeese 132, Biblical Stud, 50

I haven’t seen a Biblical Stud have a night this bad since Delilah cut Samson’s hair off

a group of people are standing next to each other and one of them is talking about the future . Alt: Snooty maître d’ says “I weep for the future.”

I appreciate the honesty lol.

a woman is sitting in a classroom with a group of people and smiling . Alt: a woman is sitting in a classroom with a group of people and smiling saying “no problem whatsoever.”

The blank looks I get when I reply “thank you Simone” are also depressing.

Thanks, yeah when I replied the thread didn’t show up for me at first. An interesting area of the country for religion for sure!

In my Christian history course in seminary we talked about the Burned over district. Haven’t searched but I’d be shocked if there aren’t books about it. I’ll reach out to my old prof and see.

Great game, however it didn’t accept USF for South Florida.

This amazing cover of Radiohead's "Creep" by college junior Erin Morton made the rounds earlier this year on TikTok, but I only saw it over the weekend. In case you haven't heard it yet, prepare to get goosebumps.

Yeah. Still crashed for a day, just not 2-3 days like previously. I’m hoping as we get used to them that’ll taper, but we’ll see.

Spikevax. Both had good efficacy, haven’t seen any comparison on reactogenicity

Interesting. I’ve had Moderna for all accept a Pfizer a couple years ago. This year’s Moderna had easily the least intense side-effects of any.

Trying to counter misinformation during the pandemic really showed this, and here’s another great example. Unfortunately it makes it that much easier to scare people into believing any number of conspiracy theories.

Operation Warp Speed was arguably one of the most successful policy initiatives in recent history, accelerating vaccine delivery that saved millions of lives.

It’s remarkable to see some now urging the leaders who backed it to disown the achievement.

Going in I was going to be content with a 2-0 loss or better. Can’t believe I’m this disappointed in this result now. Hopefully a good sign of things to come.

I think it benefitted from being in the Star Wars universe, so it felt a little more lived in than some.

You actually made me remember another FPS we played as well, Dark Forces. I’m curious where that would fit in this analysis.

I’m so glad you mentioned Marathon. We had a lunchtime group in high school that took over the Mac lab to play.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

Gonna do a thread of interesting court records. Whatever platform (Bluesky or Twitter) gets the most retweets in the next 15 minutes gets it. Posting this on both sites.

Ron, I get that you're angry. I get that you want accountability. You probably want a little revenge. Probably a lot of revenge. But your comment is completely absurd. It's clownish. It's inhumane. You're better than this. And you should be better informed.

This last episode of Welcome to Wrexham is probably the best edited documentary episode I’ve ever seen.

Great piece. As a US kid, I lived for a few years off and on in Cambridge. I think if it as a second home. Not a holiday town by any stretch, but the lovely people, history, and way of life make me want to go back all the time. Wrexham is the same way and I hope to visit soon.
