Been out of pocket since I got up this morning. Glancing around I don't think we nuked anyone since I was online last night. Can anyone confirm this?

This is a worse Watchmen take than that crazy comic warehouse guy calling it parody. This is deeply broken, Snyderesque, commentary.

@bravesandbirds.bsky.social and I saw A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum a number of times in three years of Latin (also, quite a bit of epsides of a documentary about Heinrich Schliemann and Troy). We had an odd Latin teacher.

Some timeline positive vibes, here's The Grifters doing The Straight Time live at the Shiner Van Sessions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1dA...

Does anyone have a link to a good explainer about how to make sure iPhones and Androids are uploading to the cloud while people are monitoring government activity? Seems important.

POPEHAT SIGNAL: Pro Bono counsel sought in Chicago, for the cause of right over the cause of evil. Potential client is out-of-state and indigent. Opponent is abusing Illinois’ pre-litigation discovery process to harass and abuse her and likely to dox her. The details are insane. /1

Midtown Grille, in Macon Georgia, located on Forsyth Rd near what used to be Chi Chesters. They served these ungodly porkchops, that were cut like large Filet Mignon. But Pork. And they were just heavenly. 1/

The Ref in this Super Copa finale is so fucking lost.

Can't wait to see the Falcons run this same staff back and go 7-10 or thereabouts.

Well shit.

I enjoyed the hell out of rooting for this team. Go Dawgs.

Me enjoying watching my favorite team, the Georgia Bulldogs.

Is there an Uno card Ole Miss can play to steal UGA's timeouts?

UGA smartly milking the PI-based offense.

It feels like we're back to hoping for UGA having major defensive staff changes in the offseason again.

The Corwin cycle of the Amber books, followed by Lord of Light. Followed by A Fire Upon the Deep. Followed by wrangling World War Z from where ever it is and doing it proper.

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

Feels like every snap of Miami vs A&M gets us closer to Resting Beck Face

If there is nothing especially stupid going on right now - I mean, beyond the usual - can whoever is secretly in charge of Hollywood please arrange for a release of Michael Mann's 3+ hour cut of The Keep?

I would rather watch a production of The King in Yellow than watch the ESPN college football playoff selection special.

I AM A HUMAN ONION OF EMOTION

Skycast is love. Skycast is life.

Fifa award for best supporting actor in a major motion picture winner: Ferran Torres

Maybe someone should do a wellness check on Kiffin?

What a big win for Dabo to finish over .500 on the season. Gritty program.

How in the world did that ever get ruled a TD.

Watching A&M vs Texas on SEC network/sjycam which has no announcers, which is sort of cool and a neat vibe. But I'm at a loss to explain what happened on the kickoff there. Texas A&M, the kicking team, committed an illegal block in the back?

Did an announcer in the Tech game say a couple of minutes ago that this game was one of the biggest in the history of Tech's program? Or did I hallucinate that?

To my four followers (three of whom game), this is a demo that I adored: store.steampowered.com/app/3702100/...

The Beamer PC is surely going to be lit.

Kiss me hard before you go Kennedy madness I just really love your nose Your rose tears are so delish

Listen I'm not Cornyn but if I was and I was missing for a big vote, which is a thing that would happen a lot, I would be at the arcade playing video games. Probably with tax payer quarters.

Shoutout to the local Driver Services. When I moved here (across state lines) ten years ago and got my license transferred it took awhile. Went in today for renewal and it was a cinch, in and out. And they had all stations moving fast for a moderate crowd size.

World Series obscuring the fact that Football's weirdest and maybe dumbest rule reared its head in the Purdue - Michigan game.

UF defense playing excellent, UGA offense maybe not playing it's best (*casts a glance in Bobo's direction*) and UGA kind of deserves to be where it is in the game. But these Officials are sucking shit through a straw. Can't decide if they're worse than the broadcast (and I'm not even listening)

The crying laughing emoji is largely employed (typically, over-employed) by people who are intellectually and emotionally deficient. But there are rare times where it is not merely apropos but a perfect fit in a classical sense. The Lindsey Halligan text chain is one such example.

Is Hugh Freeze publicly asking for a vote of support from his AD real?

I made this meme during the 2hrs worth of replays and now it doesn’t feel as special because what the hell is actually going on in this game?

This Georgia Auburn game feels like two drunken friends climbed into an Octagon and staged an MMA fight.

The refs in this UGA vs Auburn game are getting a bonus per review, clearly.

Diego Pavia knows the oldest, deepest, darkest magics in the universe, and he wields them skillfully.

I thought for a moment that UGA had run an HB angle there on third & goal but I don't think it was in practice. In spirit though.

I don't think the idea of a woman leading major College Football Program is at all weird. I do think UNC trying to pioneer this by hiring Bill Belicheck's girlfriend was a headscratcher, though.

Has anyone tried turning the rapture off and then turning it back on?

ICYMI: Part One of my thoughts on how the “free speech culture” movement contributed to the moment of historical censorship www.popehat.com/p/how-free-s...

I have a couple of comments about the "free speech hero" narrative about Charlie Kirk. First, was Charlie Kirk really notable for supporting the free speech of people he disagreed with? I haven't noticed that, though I could have missed it. /1

@chrishornb.bsky.social a small blessing for your timeline.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
