if you ask the average American to describe what they think a tougher immigration system should look like, they will describe something a degree of magnitude softer and more generous than the current reality.

The lesson here is that people are both better and dumber than they appear.

Never trade for a Garbage Kyle.

Listening to @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social After Dark from last night, and it's clear Frank has the Mandate of Heaven

Danny Coale caught that ball.

I screamed

feel like shit just want her back

Put a good team on the field and don't piss the paying customers off?

Haven't watched much NWSL, but boy does Audi sound more live on ESPN for Spirit-SD Wave than it has for DCU in a few years.

Ever drive around in circles for an hour looking for a place to eat and do nothing but get increasingly annoyed and go home?

Asking for me and this sad bowl of leftover beef and rice I just dug out of the fridge

I'm just waiting for Sweden to make my morning a hat trick of shame

If this has to be in my brain now, it has to be in yours too.

Seconded. It was so damn enjoyable when they used to talk their shit for weeks, then show up in Blacksburg in 35 degrees, a downpour, or both, obviously wanting to be anywhere else on the planet, and playing like it while our guys put the hammer down.

I don't think it's possible to run a coherent college football program under the current rules -- you have semester-to-semester player movement yet you still have tight practice time restrictions so you can't compensate with intense onboarding. So weird things are just going to keep popping out.

Absolutely majestic Frames Janklining. Did he bring Pry back as a quality control assistant already?

Well, we'll probably end the season 2 and 10, but we'd hardly be the only team to do that recently.

For example, Florida State just last year went 2 and 10. People forget that.

College football-ass college football game: multiple incorrigible mental mistakes by 18-22 year old players, one team pulling a shocking number of plays out of its ass when it needed to and the other running our of gas.

PSA VT ATHLETICS: WHY DO YOU DO THIS LAME TAPED "SHOUT" THING DURING THE THIRD QUARTER STRETCH WHEN WE HAVE A PERFECTLY GOOD HOKIE POKIE

So I could have chosen worse!

Computer appears to have decided this is a screw-you game. #hokies

Now that I actually have connectivity: a toast before it got dumb.

Wake with 14 points off drive-extending idiotic penalties by the VT defense.

I don't even like Dabo and this shit's hilarious.

Scientifically assessing the condition of i-81 between Roanoke and Christiansburg as "some bullshit"

Like, I've seen I-40/85 between Durham and Greensboro in better shape than this, and if you know that road you know the level of condemnation that is

I AM READY TO BE HURT AGAIN

I mean, from observation of a whole lot of Horns in my company's Slack, the difference between how much they hate A&M and how much A&M hates them is that the Aggies don't lie about it. Oklahoma is a Big Game but the Aggies are an obsession.

Going to Raleigh in a bit, might could pay my respects to the Mother Belk

Let's see what @elrocco337.bsky.social has to say then.

I mean, if there's someone prominent in the Democratic party right now who can shamelessly promise that he'll find Glonzo, kill him, and hang the carcass on the South Lawn, grinning all the while, he's our boy

Jesus died for everyone's sins, including hers, but that doesn't make her wearing his cross as a trinket while she commits them wholesale any less repellent.

I remain convinced he wouldn't have survived a real 2020 season.
