I'm going to need most of his parables explained

Still hoping he makes them change it to the Trump party so it can have that millstone dragging it down into the abyss.

My wife likes that their broadcast booths aren't a sausage fest (for hockey, but I watch on ESPN+ so I think I mostly get local announcing teams, or the TSN broadcasts)

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

They can probably afford tickets. Do a team outing

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

I don't disagree, but did you see the Giants Commanders overtime that was an absolute masterpiece of terrible/great overtime football

030

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Still not sure what I just watched. Both WAS and NYG were in field goal range in overtime and both effed it up in their own way?

I never got over how y'all say bag/beg

This is how I find out that nothing I do is unique. Before the Internet I felt really special.

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

This sounds like me and my wife but sadly we weren't in a Giant today. Although I'd have said "your face is a bagel"

My plan to write books that appear to be of no interest to agents or publishers is working(?)

What's the value of a bribe if the bribee is too intransigent to deliver on any promises

We can't watch Coraline in our house after the first time we watched it with the kids

Large Marge in Pee Wee's Big Adventure

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I remember using the VCR to pause and rewind and rewatch and pause that scene. Not sure whether I was scaring myself, my friends, or my sister

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Now imagine you're pushing and the transmission locks up on the tug. Worst pushback I ever did watching the plane keep going and the tug just frozen (and blocking the gate for the next few flights too).

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I love playing the Politics or Sports game (Pretty sure this one is sports)

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The struggle, though minor, is real

Independent of time zone it's always a good time for pizza and Dr. Pepper

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

If only the Vice President had the courage?

000

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Nope. He'll want Trump Time because it was "his" idea (nobody else ever considered it but they're not bold thinkers?)

031

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The number of people you could be referring to is high

What was she doing to those cotton balls before they shipped them out? Besides murder obvs

Sing all four (or six) verses or it doesn't count

The math of clothes in computerized animation is a nightmare (so I've heard from someone who did that math). It's why a lot of characters have tight fitting clothes. Not that that absolves Disney

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Nah, they'll just retcon the good stuff and turn it into a way to connect to the Skywalker stories

001

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

We need liability on the company rather than pretending that they can't control it

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

About freaking time says my wife. How long until they show up in thrift stores, is her follow up

010

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Yes my daughter has the industry option when she finishes her PhD but looking at what's happening at NIH is scary. My wife doesn't like when I encourage her to use her Spanish literacy to look outside the US

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

My kids are considering academia and I look around at the state of higher rd and I'm not sure what to tell them. But I don't want to discourage them with administrator pessimism

120

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

This made me laugh. Reminds me of trying to explain the academic job market to my mom. UCLA is always cold calling me wondering if I want a job. I just keep turning them down bc I love winter in Fargo (note I'm not in Fargo anymore, not that there's anything wrong with it)

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Not a lot of people interested in the Dolphins at this point

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I never realized how many minor/major problems pilots have to deal with on the regular

000

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Did I give them both three extra points?

000

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I'm a big fan of not firing coaches as a knee-jerk, but all three have a lot of growing to do, though the team performances aren't helping. That was a 9-6 loss for both teams as far as I'm concerned and the Packers did not look good against the Jets

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The only NFC North coach I have any confidence in is the Lions. The rest seem completely overmatched

New Pope is more liberal than we thought

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

We bought them online for my youngest two for my oldest's wedding. I think by the time of the wedding they didn't fit anymore. That's the bigger problem with dress clothes for kids

100

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Thrift stores and online may be the only choices left (or higher end places that wouldn't necessarily carry kids clothes)

Did I just see Lois Griffin (canonically from Rhode Island) shilling for Starbucks? Has the world gone even more topsy turvy.

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Enjoyed this very much, the ending was most definitely not what I expected

000

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

As to number 2. Based on my experience this morning hiking a trail in the panhandle of Florida, do not hike a trail in the panhandle of Florida. Spiders the size of a tennis ball, making huge webs across the path and the spider just there in the middle waiting to Frodo you like Shelob

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I've been watching with dread as more were swallowed up in it. About time the big names are finally saying something

001

Benton Duncan @bentonduncan.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Only if it's got an American flag in its talons? Was it screeching God Bless America? I think that's another tell

It'll save them time on recruiting. Just assign spots to the companies and they can choose which student they want to go to Harvard
