Early Medieval Papacy (Radio Edit)

As soon as they said "professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill" I squealed and said "Dr. Whalen!!!!"

Yes, I'm a history 🤓

It's on my list. Just saving it and also gotta find a steaming service that has it for free ... hopefully

Just some daguerreotypes of people with cats.

A Sports Major May Be Coming to a Campus Near You Inside the movement to enshrine athletics as the newest liberal art.

I have been saying since before the Paper Classes Scandal™️ that we need an Athletics major (concentrations like Sports Admin, Sports Comm, Sports Analytics or Sports Marketing). Looks like it's starting to gain traction. Those are all real careers b/c lets be honest, MOST won't be Michael Jordans.🐏

For Spoopy Month 2025, I decided to do Vampire Movies. With help from my friends I put together a list from old (Vampyr, 1932) to new (Sinners, 2025), tragedy (Only Lovers Left Alive, 2013) to comedy (What We Do in the Shadows, 2014), heroic (Underworld, 2003) to villainous (Dracula, 1932). 🧛

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

I also wonder about property crime vs violent crime. One of those I'm much more willing to be lenient since a lot of times that's because persons are drawn to property crime by desperation.

Ok ppl. In Thunderbolts*, the Void only covers Manhattan. Ergo it's safe to assume Kate, Stephen, Matt, Jessica, Frank, Danny & Luke got sucked in. Wilson Fisk too. You know what didn't get Voided: Brooklyn, Queens & Jersey. So Peter & Kamala were likely safe. (My sad map below).

959 years ago today... supposedly Harold took an Arrow to the Eye.

Reading a fanfic where Darcy is sent to 1942 Brooklyn. The author keeps talking about how Bucky and Steve think she's in her underwear bc she's in mid-thigh shorts. He's also thinking he's never seen lipstick that red. Uh. See example of shorts from the 40s and 40s lipstick. It's 1940s not 1840s 🙄

You've got a bit less than an hour for the NC municipal elections

Unfortunately for UNC and Bill Belichick, ‘patience’ is no longer needed to win in CFB None of the issues with the roster are unique to North Carolina. Every program deals with it. Every first-year coach deals with it.

Ouch. The Athletic ain't pulling any punches here

YouTube video by Empire Podcast 291. Ancient Gaza: The Philistines (Part 1)

One of the podcasts I listen to has been doing an in depth history of Gaza. We're up to 6 episodes (so far? seems like we still have room to go?). No matter what your opinion on the Gaza conflict right now, learning the history of this area helps contextualize today's struggles. Go listen!

Opinion | He’s Young, Talented and Openly Religious. Is He the Savior Democrats Have Been Waiting For?

Hadn't heard of him before. Interesting opinion piece. I'm having a "think" about this now.

38 to 10.

Proud to be a Clemson Auntie this afternoon.

I might be Tar Heel born and Tar Heel bred, but I also came of age during the 80s when I recall the word "Smurfs" being used to describe the football team. So I've just collected other football teams over the years (Go Blue, Fight Tigers!)

That's still a lot to pay oop :(

Is it wrong that I saw the suit and though "that looks like 95's Darcy!" before I even read the text? Asking for a friend.

Duke for Cardiology, UNC for Oncology, Duke for Neurology, UNC for Gastroenterology, Emerge Ortho for Orthopedics :D (UNC for preemie NICU, btw, but Duke for Peds)

FYI - don't work for SOM, work for central HR in the EHRA office :) & we all have our various divisions, SOM is go huge its split 3 ways. So I could in theory go to their ObGyn or Orthopedics and not know names :D But Duke is an awesome healthcare system. I kinda have a list of bad illnesses go...

Thank Asclepius! I don't have to go find a bunch of new doctors. I know I work for UNC*. BUT I also am glad that when I go in for a colonoscopy, I'm very happy to not go "oh, I approved your reappointment action last week" (For the HR stuff, I'm assigned both Gastroenterology & Anesthesiology).

Oh no. She always seemed like a delightful human

As seen on teh Interwebs:

Thorg of Asgard, Peter Parker of Queens, Miles Morales from Brooklyn.

Bob, Yelena and Mole Man are up next. And eventually I'll finish Galactus.

‘Men seem to make life for women worse’: single US women share the woes of dating in 2025 Here’s why some women feel like there’s little hope in the current dating pool of men – if they’re still in the market for one

Years ago, I came up with a list of things a potential partner needed to have, seven S's: stable, smart, single, sweet, sexy, sensitive, & Star Wars fan. It's depressing AF to think that's a high bar these days :/

Why random lines of video game dialogue get stuck in our heads From famous Street Fighter lines to quips from 90s classics, these are the quotes we hear again and again – and even incorporate into our own lives

Let's see:
- "This was not in my contract"
- "No takie candle"
- "Pleeeaaaseee stop hurting quaggan"
- "Sul Sul"
- "For the Uthgard" (I didn't even play this game)

Gotta admit i just assumed university was all about pursuing research and knowledge

Yesterday I was listening to a podcast on Henri Christophe, who has the best title ever I saw: "President and Generalissimo of the Forces of the Earth and Seas of the State of Hayti".
