Telling my kids that Mateer can’t play because he got raptured

That doesn’t sound very funny though

Ugggghhhhh

Reports from Stillwater are that I was correct

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

This USC-MSU game is on way too late and I live on the west coast!

If this OU team ever gets a turnover they might be dangerous

Auburn pal informs me her husband is not paying sufficient attention to the game, so if Oklahoma pulls this off, please know it’s Adam’s fault

The refs in this OU-Auburn game:

Mateer sees the defense fine but his accuracy is inconsistent at best

Oh, Mike Gundy is so fired

If I’m lucky it’s something classical or Tom Lehrer or Cat Stevens. But it’s probably Randy Travis again 🤦

We are all going to jail for what we write about Billy Napier huh

If you don’t LIKE THEM don’t MARRY THEM

I’m not sure if my wife believes me when I tell her that Portland summers in the 90s were very different but the facts back me up

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

A clever politician might notice that corporate consolidation is the common denominator of a whole lot of the worst stuff going on

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Just my face getting stankier and stankier as this builds

These skeets are all about the same thing

Seahawks just got one of the funniest touchdowns I’ve ever seen

Honestly the most troubling development from yesterday is the acknowledgment that OU is apparently too broke to bring the Pride to an away game? WTF? www.news9.com/story/68c5bd...

Hawkins would have been a fabulous wishbone QB

I kind of expect that targeting ejection to get overturned by the league office. Beyond weak.

The Nazi extermination programs didn’t begin with Jews. It began in September 1939 with the involuntary euthanasia of people with disabilities and the mentally ill under the Aktion T4 program. That’s how they developed their techniques of mass extermination.

Meanwhile on TV2

Happy with my proper two TV game day set up. And I even made a custom OU light pattern on my ceiling lights

Also hey! Looks like the Sooners found their running back.

Nice to see the Sooners doing well while not putting anything exciting on tape (besides the exotic 2 point play) for their future opponents

"To all of my followers if you take up arms, I disavow you. I disown you. In the strongest possible terms. That is not what we're about." What did Nick Fuentes know and when did he know it?

any outlet that reported the “pro-trans ideology on bullet casings” thing owes the public an apology and an explanation if you are serious about turning down the temperature, start by showing some shame and regret for your role in turning it up in the first place by allowing yourself to be played

My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I. One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.

100% go me

I guess the main thing I’m learning this week is that lots of elite media people knew charlie kirk personally and didn’t know any minnesota state legislators

There’s no reason to be flying our flags half-staff here in Oregon for unelected MAGA agitator Charlie Kirk for any amount of time, let alone 4 full days, especially when he advocated for Portland to be invaded along with other sanctuary cities & hated LGBTQ @tinakotek.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Weighed in on the debate about whether Oklahoma is BACK. Sort of! I think they're gonna be good enough to hang around and maybe grab a low playoff seed. Not a title threat right now, but good enough that it would be surprising if the Venables hot seat situation escalated

A guy in a tOSU hat saw my OU sweatshirt at the store and said “hey, you were my second favorite team last week”

People are telling me to turn off video but I apparently only follow people that aren’t psychopaths so I’m good

My youngest child has a funny wordplay thing held over from early childhood where he switches the first letter for a “b” on certain words, for example “burkey” for “turkey”. He did this a long time ago in conjunction with a neighborhood skunk we saw that he dubbed “Jackson” after a classmate 1/2

Chaired law professor at NYU its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofi... When people who've devoted their careers to the law start talking like this...

We’ve gone from more or less hopeless to a CFB contender in a year and I’m thinking maybe pump the brakes a little (it’s nice to be at least somewhat relevant again though)

41-40 is scorigami, congrats everybody

Fox highlighting Gronowski’s stellar record immediately before he throws a devastating pick, chef’s kiss

New level of “just how much of a credulous fool are you” just dropped for MAGA supporters

Busted: I do indoctrinate my students, but only about music. Discussion prompt: What does Me and Mia mean? What would a textualist say? How would an originalist decide? How would you decide? Is @tedleo.bsky.social 's intent dispositive?

I don’t need an explanation or actual facts but I remain sure that the relationship status of one of our favorite podcast crews is “complicated”
