When my father was working on his dissertation (1980s) his advisor lost his vision, preventing him from reading my father’s work. But he wouldn’t recuse himself from the PhD committee, leaving my dad in limbo for over a year, by which time portions of the research became outdated, requiring rewrites

Does he not get that he’s basically ‘owning himself’ with this? Everything he’s writing I’m nodding along to… because THOSE ARE ALL GOOD THINGS, in fact - if our country was ever a great country it was in fact because of all of those things!!!

The crazy thing is - I agree with everything he’s saying except I think it’s A GOOD THING that people who move here can economically benefit right away, people born here get citizenship, that visas lead to citizenship. I’m proud we were the first to give equal status to an immigrant working class.

Yr doing gods work 🙏😈

All incredible films!!* I also love Spartacus despite his own feelings towards it. Truly a “no wrong answers” kinda director. Clockwork Orange was my go to response for a solid decade re what my fav movie is (usurped by ’Talk to Her’ by Pedro Almodovar)

*I confess I’ve never seen Lolita 🫣

Ooooooooooh that’s a good problem to have. My favs in no particular order:

The Killing
Paths of Glory
Dr Strangelove
Barry Lyndon
Full Metal Jacket

Ok so I guess that actually was in an order so… 🫠

How are you going to decide? Pick names out of a hat? Pin the tail on the… movie poster? 🤔

I’m with you on both counts but I also hope you’re enjoying this as much as I am

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... no amount of hubris can withstand the relentless coordination of The KPOP Stans

Listen I am anti-Bill but I am most def NOT with Kraft. Now I feel gross gonna take 10,000 showers now k bye✌️

I’ve watched on a loop for about 10 straight minutes and it just keeps getting funnier

Heartbroken and nauseous and so so so so so angry that his life was taken

FUCK ICE

Thank you for speaking out 🙏

This hire + the Seahawks playing in the NFC CG must be sooooooo validating to all those OSU fans who are so sure the only possible way we could have shut down CJ Stroud & Co in ‘21 and ‘22 is because we cheated 🤔🫠

House of Secrets in Burbank CA is one of my absolute fav comic shops. I’ve been shopping there for 20 years - Paul the owner is a most excellent dude.

If you’re including Oklahoma in your search (Texas adjacent but it runs the gamut from mild to frigid) - Speeding Bullet Comics in Norman is def A++

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

I want to give this boy a hug and tell him everything’s going to be okay and bring him back to his family.

So much horror. So much terror. The people who did this - who continue to do this - are lower than the scum of humanity; soulless and godless. They poison the air when they breathe.

Wholeheartedly agree… and it’s a damn shame because hot damn the cinematography is GORGEOUS. Beautiful film. But wasted 😐

Omg I can’t believe they actually claimed it & had to look it up. That it was also a split national championship between the only 2 football teams in existence who both finished the year .500 makes it so much funnier to me than trying to dunk on what has been a perfectly middling CFB team for 20 yrs

Okay that makes sense but spiritually speaking it’s still Rutgers… right?

Who’s at the bottom… Rutgers?

Cheers!!

Would it be funny or just 🤢 if the UM-UN game became a rivalry trophy game - if said trophy was the ‘97 AP & ‘97 Coaches NC trophies and the winner got both until the next game? 🤔

I wish I had the courage to think this was a good idea 🫠

Seriously!!! Dec-Jan just slogs I’m always saying get us to March already!!!! Cheers to a couple of traditional basketball blue bloods!!

The 4k couple has become self-aware and the cameraman hates fun

All good brutha. Considering UMs “days since last scandal” is at best in single digits - as a Michigan fan I should not be publicly dunking on anyone.

Always wanted to see a game in Lincoln - high on my CFB bucket list. Every UM fan who’s been has raved about game day (even for the visiting team)

I guess I deserve that - but tbh I was just being dumb+silly trying to bait another Michigan homer into being dumb and silly with me. But I think Its pretty clear I didn’t made that obvious enough 🫣😶‍🌫️🤦‍♂️🫠

Oh it doesn’t fit at all - I was just being dumb+silly cuz Jane is also a big Michigan homer - I was hoping I could bait her into also being silly but alas it didn’t work 😐🤷‍♂️🫠

But what about how you felt when UM beat OSU in 21’, 22’, 23’ & especially 24’? Also need your feelings when UM beat ‘Bama and UW in Jan 2024? Or anytime we beat Northwestern in the 2010s?

I know your post was entirely about surprise vs certainty but I counter with: “trophy still go burrrr”
