As we head into Halloween season, please remember that trunk-or-treating is bullshit and a symbol of all that is wrong with this country.

If NFL broadcasters are going to treat Deshaun Watson being ok at QB as a sign that he has been Redeemed For His Past, they must remain ideologically consistent. If he starts playing badly again they have to blame it on his failure to repent for his heinous sexual misconduct

I love that what set this all off was a picture of a bunch of UT students of Indian descent in cowboy hats cheering at a football game. Like how much more assimilated to American culture can you possibly be? Also, if Bo French was serious, he’d change his name to Bo Freedom.

Might as well interview the crank who's drinking by himself at the end of the bar and ranting at anyone who gets within earshot. "Carl, some old retired guy who's not in contact with his children, sat down for an interview with TIME at the White Horse Tavern on Sept. 28."

It seems quaint now that we do all our banking and race science there, but, nevertheless, it's true: at one time, people mostly wrote jokes on Twitter. 10 years ago, I wrote one about an old asshole and it kinda changed my life. Not his, though. www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...

Not that anyone asked for it, but here’s the course description and booklist from a class on soccer in my penultimate year in academia. We read a lot more articles and played pick-up futsal on some derelict tennis courts a few times, too.

Honors 341: Soccer and Society
Spring 2018
Instructor:
Dr. Dave Hageman
E-mail:
hageman@lynchburg.edu
Office:
505 Brevard 3B
Office Hours: MWF 10-11:00, 12-1:00; TTh 1-3:00, and by appointment Section:
A (MWF 9-9:50, 316 Hobbs)
General Course Description:
Liverpool manager Bill Shankly once said that "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, 1 am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that." In this course we will study the myriad ways in which soccer transcends the action on the pitch and influences (and is influenced by) those who watch and play the game. By examining a variety of texts including the work of historians and social critics as well as contemporary media on the beautiful game, students will consider how soccer provides a lens through which to view a number of important global issues such as inequality, race, gender, and imperialism, both historically and in the present.

Required Course Materials:
Andrei S. Markovits and Steven L. Hellerman, Offside: Soccer and American Exceptionalism
Tamir Bar-On, Beyond Soccer: International Relations and Politics as Seen Through the Beautiful Game Kevin E. Simpson, Soccer under the Swastika: Stories of Survival and Resistance during the Holocaust Stacey Pope, The Feminization of Sports Fandom: A
Sociological Study

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

At its core this is a Democratic branding problem. Imagine if the average consumer was like “Coke promotes brain growth and Pepsi gives you butt cancer” and Pepsi execs just kept saying “nuh-uh, we’re actually pretty similar to Coke.”

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.
