Noise About Xignals โ€“ Black Gate

Actually, I was thinking that the better answer is that I was Xignals years old. (I absolutely had this issue!) www.blackgate.com/2016/07/06/n...

So, much to say, when I have the time and energy to give it the attention it deserves, but I got to know Jesse Jackson a good bit in the 2000s. I lived a short walk from Operation Rainbow/PUSH hq. One of his advisors invited me on his weekly panel show. When they realized... (THREAD)

Itโ€™s weird that Netflix is pushing Search Party (great show) at the same time theyโ€™re hyping a season of the reality show Alone with key art of a woman who looks exactly like a taller version of Alia Shawkat.

@lilywrites.bsky.social I would suggest womenโ€™s soccer. The NWSL is going pretty well these days, but Iโ€™ve also heard that @mnaurorafc.bsky.social is a good team to follow. Theyโ€™re at a lower level, but presumably that means tickets are cheaper.

To be fair about the anonymous part, it says that this was part of a player survey about a bunch of different things. (At least it says that now. There is also a note highlighting that Puerto Rico is not a foreign country, so they may be updating it.)

Heโ€™s the best sleuth there is, but thanks to the crippling emotional damage inflicted by the murder of his wife, heโ€™s unable to leave his hot tub. Thanks to the help of his faithful assistant in both finding clues and inviting suspects, he catches killers. Jโ€™ACCUZZI, coming this fall to ABC

All I found under McCullen was 2 legal newsletters that referred to Bangs McCullen, a law firm in South Dakota.

Good name.

How does Outlander compare to this? I havenโ€™t read the books, but my understanding is that the show sticks reasonably close to them. Thereโ€™s just a lot of stuff in them. #herbs

I wouldnโ€™t have punted either, but I actually wonder which is more likely:

Texans offense converting a 4th-and-18

Texans defense forcing a turnover.

OK, that's a semi-bullshit statistic, because if the Giants had traded for the #1 pick before the draft, Eli would count, and they were in the top five that year.

And 2011 still makes your point reasonably well.

Mine is the Green Brook. I say if it's got a Flood Control Project (that's been moving in fits and starts for 50 years), it counts.

Speaking of Lesley Gore, this 50s-themed episode of The Midnight Special is all good, but she absolutely kills it in her medley.

Also, Bo Diddleyโ€™s outfit isโ€ฆ.umโ€ฆ.something.
