Which games accumulated the most yards and had the fewest points? We calculated combined yards/point for FBS games this year and ranked the games. Congrats to Wyoming and Akron who combined for 654 yards in their matchup but only got 10 points out of it!

Post something beautiful to combat the awful.

The turn to slop is something we actually have a lot of power over. We choose what art we engage with and whose art we engage with. We have the ability to choose films based on original ideas, to read books instead of just doom scroll, to talk about poetry instead of just Vanderpump.

I don't need to use chatGPT because as a cis white man, I already say things with 100% confidence and 60% accuracy

Yes! Before this universe spins even further away from the good feels of #StarTrekDay, give a listen to our Season 14 premiere with "#Sulu"— and the 60th anniversary summer of his debut, and first day on the job. 🖖😎🏳️‍🌈🚀

“Iran will have a nuclear weapon in three to five years (1992) Iran was probably only one or two years away (2009) Iran is 70 percent of the way there (2012)” From statements made since 1992 by Benjamin Netanyahu.

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

I’m going to say this again: there is a wide variety of opinion on this website, much of it very annoying. There’s just no tolerance for “opinions” like “Jews control the weather” and “vaccines are causing heart disease” and “there’s actually a lot of evidence that whites are smarter than blacks.”

Just started playing a roguelite called Vellum and I’m hooked. If you like the character-building aspect of games, this is for you.

I feel like this item from the “Life Hacks Calendar” doesn’t need the exclamation point.

Bluesky needs a sticky post at the top with the original skeet/source/whatever of the thing is you are all clowning on today. Most days I can’t keep up.

I’ll be there in a minute. I’m making a list of the subreddits that *didn’t* repost the feud tweets from today.

You should subscribe to this. I most enjoy the articles I don’t agree with, because they’re high-quality, thoughtfully presented perspectives that differ from mine.

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

Love when people call a Pope “globalist” yea bud that’s the idea

But we should call this new pope only by his birth name, right, not some new name he picks himself?

saadiafaruqi.com/book/the-par.... Fans of Ms. Marvel, and especially of the TV series, will enjoy this (non-Marvel, non-superhero) book. Get it from your library or local independent bookseller. It’s realistic fiction about a student embracing her heritage and bringing people together.

Belated happy book-release day to my mate @jmswallow.bsky.social, whose STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS novel TOWARD THE NIGHT came out on Tuesday! Nobody writes thrillers like James does, so make sure you grab a copy of this while it’s fresh off the press. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Star-T...

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i.... I’ve enjoyed every episode, but this one stands out. It has a message for the challenges we’re facing, and it’s masterfully narrated. Level up your drive time with this.

Going to have to have a second listen to the first episode of It’s Story Time with @wilwheaton.net . There was a lot going on there. If anyone has it all sorted, send me a flowchart. Or, failing that, some red string and pushpins.

Damn, Alabama, he’s already dead!

I want the life all the hot young people in my French workbooks were living. Go to the cafe, ask how Arnaud is doing.

I’m streaming #EternalCardGame for the next couple hours at twitch.tv/Rainhall.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Just a reminder that yes, trauma changes the brain, but healing changes it too. You are not doomed to be forever imprisoned by the worst thing that ever happened to you ❤️

Not since Prohibition have so many Americans wanted to commit the same crime at once

Cheddar’s is to noise what CVS is to long receipts.

Can anyone get Tony Romo to stop telling us things that Tony Romo said earlier?

If you’ve repeated yourself 3 times and I still hear “my butt’s an ostrich” instead of whatever you were actually saying, I’m going to just pretend I understand.

Update on the football

The Chargers shouldn't have been picked instead of 9-3 Alabama

I have your voodoo doll and I’m teaching it probate law.

It’s been a while since I’ve had breakfast while looking at cows. Trust me, they’re out there.

Let’s face it, wild horses could easily drag you away. Hell, two or three clever raccoons could probably make you disappear forever.

Don’t know why but it is my birthday and found this pic from 2000 when i was shooting inserts for Zoolander and they had the title cards from the original series on the stage. One of my biggest regrets in life is not offering this man any amount of money to buy that card. #STARTREK
