Hyppolite II is starting at LB for the Bears

Formerly, he led a Greek uprising against Artaxerxes in Persepolis in 430 BC

@sickoscommittee.org if y'all could create a (much) better-looking box of Pavia Flakes, speaking on behalf of Commodore Nation, that would really be the tops

The two threads I've read today are this (where one is saying we need to stop giving in to our vices) & another promoting weed as a harmless pastime and how Puritanism is still pervasive

So what is it?

Seems like there's a venn diagram in here

I agree w/ the person saying legal, taxed, regulated

Why is the USL championship match kicking off at 11am local time in Tulsa?
All season they play night games.
I guess it's for TV 🤷‍♂️

When I read the NatGeo feature (Jan '24) on this my jaw dropped. And I've thought it about at least weekly since then. Mind boggling

All announcer critique posts prove one thing: TONS of people who presumably watch tons of sports don't know the difference between play-by-play & color commentary

The Irish NFL pxp guy Michael McQuaid is being praised

Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses."

I think about this post from time to time

People that dive into religion for the first time as adults are often nuts

Similarly people who start partying around midlife vs average teens experimenting

40-somethings that post pics of their "airport beers?" Zero chance they drank underage

Two paragraphs from a Washington Post article about the saudi despot visiting the american despot. They read as follows:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of Washington Post opinion columnist Jamal Khashoggi, saying “things happen” and that he did not hold the Saudi leader responsible for the 2018 murder despite a U.S. intelligence report assessing the opposite.

Trump’s dismissive language offered the highest-level confirmation yet that Mohammed will face few consequences for the killing, as the crown prince makes his first visit to Washington since Khashoggi was dismembered in a Saudi consulate in Turkey.

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.
