Since there's always unlimited money in college football to get rid of coaches and hire new ones (while crying about how expensive players are now), you have to feel like this is Lincoln Riley's last year in charge of the Trojans. This is just a badly coached team in all phases.

“...and that logo they had was awful. Logos were trademarked, but they let me redesign it, just to get rid of that awful logo. I never got paid for it.” - Jim Steranko in 2006 His X-MEN logo debuted on X-Men #50 (1968) Read more about it here: kleinletters.com/Blog/logo-st...
Lorna Dane (aka Polaris) displayed her great powers as the X-Men cower in fear beneath her.

X-Men #50, Nov 1968 with cover art by Jim Steranko.

More importantly, it features the debut of the classic UNCANNY X-MEN logo which was in use for over three decades.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Friend: We're just over a month out from the midterms and the Republicans seem desperate. I'm surprised they haven't tried to spin up another "migrant caravan" freakout, haha! Faux News: "DHS warns new migrant caravan heading for US border!" Me: Good job, man. Friend: That is not my fault.

Here's the thing, as much as I don't like them, I get why "hot take" clowns like Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless get air time. But Pat McAfee is just dull and dim with no charisma at all. I honestly can't comprehend why ESPN thinks putting him everywhere on their platforms is a good idea.

This is everyone on the Right who is so obsessed with “protecting women’s sports." And go look up what the Right collectively thought about Title IX before trans people became their new target minority (spoiler alert: they hated it).

My wife is amazed that I have been accurately predicting over 90% of Steve Sarkisian’s offensive play calls today. I wish that was as challenging as she thinks it is.

It's been enough years in Austin now for me to say that I don't get why sports media people still talk about Steve Sarkisian being an elite offensive playcaller and quarterback developer. We just haven't seen it here.

We all know that the Republican Party is anti-education because they can't win in the free marketplace of ideas with what they've been about for decades now (oligarchy and anti-democratic authoritarianism mostly),and is always shortsighted and not-actually-penny wise but insanely pound foolish... 1/

I will say, it definitely hits different now in the age of Dem "leadership" to hear the king in Dragonslayer's (1981) plan of "It's old, so we're just waiting for it to die and hoping for the best and feeding it a few kids here and there."

Writers used to be able to live comfortably off the sale of a short story or two a month. Authors like Terry Pratchett made enough money selling silly fantasy books in the 80's that they quit their day jobs. That doesn't happen any more.

Writing "wisdom" I hate: WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. This is the worst advice ever. It would be better if it was KNOW MORE SO YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT IT. Every good writer I know is constantly researching and getting new information and asking experts. It's a terrible bit of advice!
