Finally got around to reading this and it's a good post except it's odd in my opinion to compare plotting rasters with ggplot2 to plotting rasters with any other package but never mention tidyterra, feels like it's a gamechanger compared to geom_raster #RSpatial dieghernan.github.io/tidyterra/in...

I think what's so precisely mind exploding about this is that it's not that Rogan and Von are responsible for what happened to culture and politics exactly they're much more symptoms than causes, it's a society where Joe Rogan and Theo Von matter that is kinda fucked, and they're the ones saying it

Theo Von and Joe Rogan saying that our culture and politics are turning into Idiocracy boy I don't know

hot dog suit man

To all of you being surprised Central Michigan is acting like a service academy. Look at their Coach Matt Drinkall’s resume.

I spent most of my life thinking I was stupid (now I’m “not stupid,” a big mental upgrade) which meant I never assumed I’d understood anything well enough to not try and look up what it means multiple times. From MIT economist Daron Acemoglu to @arif.bsky.social, experts love simple questions

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

Trying to finish a @postsports.bsky.social column about Kiffin and I cannot shake the phrase "adult cheerleading competition"

what's important here is that this is *new* -- schools had previously used hs grades and gotten good information about student levels and readiness from them, but now a surge in grade inflation, roughly post COVID, has made them more or less useless not a good situation!

Will never stop being funny that the USMNT brought in an expensive foreign coach with a Champions League pedigree to tell us that tactics are for dorks and we just need more MLS guys and hustle

USMNT Stock Up, Stock Down – and a bit on what Mauricio Pochettino's goal has been all along. www.mlssoccer.com/news/usmnt-s...

Pretty clear that there is no plan here. I want to know what the Big Ten commissioner personally stands to make on this if it closes. If it's not zero, it's a scandal

The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now. I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there! @flareusa.bsky.social @removalcoalition.bsky.social

The #NFLVoA has had basically the same issues as the #CFBVoA but with less success ATS. On the bright side, much like the CFB VoA, at least the zero point is closer to the middle of the league now instead of being down in the mid-lower 20s. Not 100% sure what VoA sees in the Texans tho

Well my #CFBVoA is still acting kind of weird, but at least the zero point is closer to the actual median number of teams now. On the other hand, talk to your kids about Top 10 Toledo? That's clearly not right, not to mention how many teams are above Georgia, Tennessee, Bama, etc. #RStats #MCMCStan

Hello Markwayne this is your pollster speaking. I am advising you today to please keep saying this shit.

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In some cases, those changes have already begun. n.pr/48nQMqI

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

--> Week 11 official objective NFL power rankings <-- Was the Seahawks-Rams game between the two best teams in the NFC? Many are asking this question

Really good piece about the "sign up for a terrible-interest credit card, and get this free T-shirt!" of college athletics. I hope a lot of people are privately very embarrassed by this.

The fun part about letting way more teams into the World Cup is a lot of unexpected countries are qualifying. The less fun part is this is the last time it will ever mean this much

Man this is delightful

Oh hell yeah! And the previous smallest nation ever to qualify, Cape Verde, only qualified last month!

I need "Stats are down but he played great" to make it into the lexicon.

I think the word you’re looking for is “kept”

Incredibly fun game! Probably could've ignited thousands more people's passion for soccer!

Can't emphasize enough how much this shit sucks from a nonprofit whose stated mission is to "grow the game" and "ignite a national passion for soccer"

This is what the stadium looks like at kickoff for the USMNT friendly The lowest price to get in is $65

The US c team is beating the ever loving shit out of Uruguay’s A- team.

America hasn't embarrassed Marcelo Bielsa like this since Jesse Marsch made Leeds better

WHAT IF OUR BEST ATHLETES' CHILDREN PLAYED SOCCER

One of the best things about Berhalter out was that Poch brought Berhalter in

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

John Tolkin must be so relieved the World Cup is in the United States instead of one of those countries out by the edge

Okay fine I’ll check tonight if Mike Gundy is in there at all

I mean, make prosperity for everyone and you'll be popular is probably true but not sure there's a lot to do with that. Like telling a football team to make sure to convert on 3rd down.

i will kind of accept this from some random person who barely pays attention. ben shapiro though? he's just lying

it's not that what's going on in the US is worse than what's been going on in many WC host nations, or that FIFA's shameless toadying is more shameless or toadlike but it's *my* country it's happening in and it makes me hate it more and feel more conflicted about how much fun I know I'm gonna have

Man it really stinks that our government is using the World Cup as an opportunity to advance their fascist agenda because the soccer is going to kick ass

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

~~ Week 11 NFL Tiers ~~ Seahawks going from playing the Rams (last week) to the Titans (this week) is quite the change

unanimous vote to release the Epstein files, hard to believe it won't pass the Senate now in a walk I assume congressional Republicans were telling the WH you can't make me take this vote, anything, just not this vote will be interesting to see how they try to kill this at DoJ now

🎙️ NEW EPISODE FOR SUBSCRIBERS 🎙️ @stevengodfrey.bsky.social is here to talk about Lane Kiffin vs. the clock, the playoff calendar, and the many SEC schools that would like him to please make a decision. Also: James Franklin to Virginia Tech. Let's talk about it: www.splitzoneduo.com/p/lane-kiffi...

This by @mlsist.bsky.social is quite a bombshell. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

time to eat shit and finally find a local CPA lol

what cotillion dumpster fire did this dopey bitch just stagger out of

Nobody cooked up Trump in a lab to perfectly appeal to voters, he just showed up and decided to be himself. The professional political experts preferred Clinton to Obama in 2008. Voters vote for people they like. That's it. That's the whole game.
