I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Game of the year, between the 2 best teams in the sport

GRINCHBALLS

No look.

Today’s fun fact.

Matthew Stafford’s passing right now:

Why doesn’t everybody simply throw the ball backwards off a defender so that it bounces forwards into the end zone where you can recover it

Stop it, NFL. There’s a bowl game on.

Cowboys practice field: XBox Bowl Cowboys actual field: HS football game

Greatest 2 point conversion in NFL history, the old backwards pass fumble recovered in the end zone

Ok fine, NFL, this was pretty great.

I learned to run climate simulations at NCAR as a student. It’s where many foundations of atmospheric science were built and where global climate research still comes together. And it does much more. www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

I'm sorry: I'm glad the Brown shooter has been found, but watching law enforcement officials take a victory lap and praise each other feels kinda gross? Given how the FBI messed up by leaking the name of an innocent person and that a random 48-year-old guy avoided capture for days, no time to brag

TIL that folks are trying to make Missouri State/Arkansas State a rivalry. ARMOgeddon.

"And Tiny Tim, who did not die" = heartwarming, Christmassy. "And Tiny Tim, who would not die" = sinister, alarming.

Another brief clip from yesterday's rapid response livestream regarding what's at stake with the potential loss of NCAR, and what we can do about it: "What would we lose if the National Center for Atmospheric Research is dismantled? Quite a lot."

I feel that the people need a picture of Penny Loafer in her little booties

After two years of West Texas A&M dominance, the title is coming back to College Station!

NEW: Colorado Sens Hickenlooper and Bennet announce they're putting a hold on the Senate appropriations package to demand funding for NCAR. Bennet said today that the Trump administration's move to dismantle the climate/weather lab is retaliation for Tina Peters' imprisonment.

Woodwinds being targeted as always. This never happens to brass players.

XBox bowl on soon.

Newton vs Wall feels like a physics problem.

A storm will shift across the Great Lakes and Northeast U.S. Friday with gusty winds and rain changing to snow showers. Another strong storm will cross the Northwest U.S. Friday with heavy mountain snow and gusty to high winds. weather.gov

You might wonder why Nick Petrino is coaching Missouri State tonight. Well, Ryan Beard, their former head coach, took the Coastal job. Oh, Ryan Beard is Bobby’s son in law. THEY’RE EVERYWHERE.

turned this into a phone wallpaper for anybody needing some gently bullying motivational art:

Calm before winter break, university campus edition. ❄️🏫🎄

Master Chief did the coin flip at the XBox Bowl.

we're about to get the red ring of death at halftime. this is gonna rule

If you don't want to accommodate disabilities, you can just say that, then at least we know to ignore you off the bat. You're being very inconsiderate and the rest of us have places to be and things to do.

This is metal

My local airport has signs reminding people that not all disabilities are visible to outsiders. A good reminder. There is also no evidence anywhere in this piece of a single person faking a disability, just TikTok videos and speculation by others about who "really" needs a wheelchair.

This is the first "Particularly Dangerous Situation" Fire Weather Warning ever issued anywhere in the state of Colorado. #COwx

Ok, the XBox Bowl trophy is playable.

"you're a man" ad hominem "you were born a boy" sunk cost fallacy "you're amab" false dichotomy "you have xy chromosomes" false equivalence "trans people are mentally ill" non sequitur "changing your sex isn't possible" skill issue

L.A.’s fire hydrants ran dry during the January wildfires, exposing critical gaps in our water infrastructure. Finding ways to foot the bill for such upgrades promises to be challenging, said Erik Porse, director of @ucanrwater.bsky.social. www.latimes.com/environment/...

The current complete list of PDS Fire Weather Warnings issued by NWS Forecast Offices PDS FWW 30 and 31 are the first PDS Fire Weather Warnings ever issued for the State of Colorado

IMPORTANT: NWS Boulder just issued a rare "Particularly Dangerous Situation" (PDS) Fire Weather Warning for Boulder, Hwy 93, and the Boulder + northern JeffCo foothills for tomorrow. Winds: 85-110 mph. Bone dry. This is a Fire Weather Warning with an exclamation point. #COwx

Gonna be the pedant who points out that the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X, which is on the bowl trophy and was gifted to each player, cannot natively play EA CFB because it’s actually a PC and not an Xbox.

Endzone at The Star is giving Kibbie Dome vibes. I like it.

Maybe that’s what will make me fall in love with The Star - if I start considering it Kibbie South.

I hope Mustapha Kharbouch, the Palestinian student who was wrongly accused by many conservatives, sues the hell out of every one.
