It is. Without getting into the movie itself, I’ll just say the resemblance is uncanny.

My friend in Knoxville sent me this, and it is so well-written, chilling, and heartbreaking.

Die, Die My Darling: No Peace in Life or Death for Christa Pike | Inside of Knoxville
Editor’s note: As I publish this, sometime after 2 a.m. on Thursday, Christa Pike’s condition remains unclear. Earlier this evening I stopped writing to watch a live-streamed press conference, a partial recap of which is available on WBIR here. As emergency vehicles streamed past, media witnesses described an execution by lethal injection gone very wrong;

My feelings on Lanterns: Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler are both good. The story is kind of a convoluted mess that takes itself way too seriously and tries way too hard to be “prestige televison.”

I’m a firm believer in leaving the past in the past, so I’ll just sat that this particular group of guys seems like they like playing together.

If that’s how they’re going to call the forearm push-off, certain players are going to need to make serious adjustments to their games.

My favorite sequence of the game so far

Why, in a Minnesota vs Miami game, am I being subjected to Texas political ads for one of the worst people on Earth?

Perhaps she saw the other Minnesota flags on the block and wanted to be involved so she put up the only one she had without knowing the political implications?

Notice the overlap between the people who support ICE and the people who jump in to defend the Cornell 7 rapists because they don’t want young men’s lives to be ruined?

We (we being Wolves fans) are all Karl Towns Sr.

Who do think future generations are going to have a harder time believing existed: a woman who tied for fifth in a college swim race and then became famous or Helen Keller?

I really want to believe that push offs will actually be called, but I’m skeptical

That’s probably what I’ll do. Thanks!

I loved the first game but for some reason have been hesitant to get Resonant. Sounds like maybe I should just do it.

We love living in Minneapolis, but I do miss the scrub jays.

I love jays. When we lived in Portland, I would put peanuts out on our balcony for the scrub jays and soon enough this one scrub jay would come to the balcony and call until I brought peanuts out.

I don’t know much about Sciambi (heard good things though), but getting Calabro is awesome. He was great with the Blazers.

Have them send you to Minneapolis! 😁

Excellent piece. I was in college when this came out and I loved it, probably at least partly because it was so different from the Blue Album but definitely because I was filled with overwrought emotion at the time. It’s still at least tied with Blue for my favorite Weezer album.

I love the shade of blue of the Ole Miss jerseys and for that reason alone I hope they pummel LSU

In early April, I submitted a story to a couple places and then completely forgot about it. I mean 100%. Just got an email from one of those places saying that they want to publish it, so that was a very nice surprise.

It’s fucked up that if AI kills us all, it won’t be because it’s a super smart sentient Skynet that launched nuclear missiles to defend itself. It’ll be because it put random sequences together until it launches the nuclear missiles and it won’t even know what it did.

I’m seeing a lot of people upset about the PI on an underthrown ball in last night’s game, and I feel like maybe we’re letting too many things upset us.
