Aside from the Notre Dame win a few years ago in South Bend, Marshall football has been nothing BUT yikes for a good while now. (yes, even counting their successful '24 campaign). At least I was there to see that last decent game.

Unpopular(?) opinion: the Easter egg bit is derivative & tiresome if you're doing it for EVERYTHING you do.

As a Swift fan who has ridden this wave for nearly 20 years, I am tired, frustrated, and annoyed. There’s a kind of mindwarp you can fall into as a Swiftie (I reluctantly use that title because of the political valence it’s taken on in recent years by the Target-and-Starbucks Ashleys of the world), where it’s tempting to believe her self-authored mythology as a “mastermind” who is always thinking ten steps ahead, doing everything with intention and leaving clues along the way.

Hey, if you find the path, will you share the map?

This image appears to be a "Captain Canada" parody design that combines the iconic circular shield of Marvel's Captain America with a white Canadian maple leaf on a blue and red target background.

Well, after today's (and this week's) of someone I know making big headlines for all the wrong reasons, I guess this is wildly appropriate now...

I had an in-person job interview yesterday... the second one for that gig. I have an introductory phone call for another job early next week. Please clap. I'm tired.

More than four years of all-news radio turned into a well-rounded TV & radio news career, spanning markets large and small. Now I'm hungry for my next starring role, hopefully in media, but definitely open to any role that appreciates my quarter-century in communications. Let's connect soon! 4/4

2007: I took what was then the biggest leap of my life & career to that point by moving to Los Angeles, landing what was to start a part-time gig as the afternoon drive board operator for KNX News & my permanent move into a full-time focus on broadcast journalism. 3/4

2001: In what I made sure was no coincidence on what was the 20th anniversary of the launch of MTV, I cracked open a mic for the very first time on the radio at Marshall University's WMUL-FM. So many great years & amazing opportunities, which led to my first pro gig just three months later. 2/4

Yours truly broadcasting the memorial fountain ceremony for WMUL-FM Huntington in 2005.

August 1st. It'll always be a significant day in my life, and for two similar, yet completely different events that have shaped my adult life, as well as my career that has officially reached the silver anniversary. 1/4

Yours truly posing at the 2006 green carpet premiere of 'We Are Marshall' in Huntington, WV.

Oh wow. www.ft.com/content/b370...

Oracle could face more than $7bn in collateral requirements for a massive data centre in Wisconsin, after the state’s power regulator tightened credit requirements to protect households from rising electricity costs.

The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, which is responsible for scrutinising and setting the prices the state’s utilities can charge, has declined to reconsider rules it imposed on utility We Energies, which would require Oracle to provide a $7bn letter of security at a yearly cost of more than $100mn per year.

I would trust the hometown Chinese restaurant that had his gem of a misspelling on its menu board for YEARS, before I trust any eatery that uses AI.

What in the fresh AI hell is this Raising Cane's commercial? And the family of Chuck Norris actually approved & endorsed it? We are cooked, fam. (this is airing on at least Peacock, though I wouldn't be surprised if it has weaseled its way to other outlets)

How small-town has life been lately? Well, at the local Piggly Wiggly (yes), the schizo Muzak they recently installed segued from Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" to, I kid you not, "The Star-Spangled Banner," to, naturally, "Deeper Than the Holler" by Randy Travis.

Musical echolalia. I haven't been officially diagnosed with this, but in recent months, I've finally been able to put a name to the looping music that's played in my head non-stop since basically forever (and possibly other elements of it, if I'm being honest).

Quite an impressive feat one guy can be responsible for HBO's *two* worst shows of all time...

Let's (not) forget this incredible pile of dog shit.

No, wait, the dog shit took offense to the previous sentence. My bad.

He... he really said this? On the record? In front of a camera? Oh, come the hell on.

Allen offered to put "Comics Unleashed" on CBS at no cost, since the network was already tossing to affiliates that his company owns during the nighttime hours, he said on "CBS Mornings" Wednesday. Allen has maintained his prominent role in a struggling industry, acquiring The Weather Channel, the streaming platform Local Now, and stakes in BuzzFeed as well as CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox affiliates.

"At the end of the day, you're throwing me an audience at 1:30 in the morning to my CBS affiliates that I own around the country," Allen said. "I said, 'save your money.'"
