have @worstpossible.world guys learned that nba legend pete maravich dropped dead aged 40 in a church pick up game including james dobson in pasadena

On January 5, 1988, Maravich collapsed and died of heart failure at age 40,[43] while playing in a pickup basketball game in the gym at First Church of the Nazarene in Pasadena, California, with a group that included evangelical author James Dobson. Maravich had flown from his home in Covington, Louisiana, to tape a segment for Dobson's radio show that aired later that day. Dobson has said that Maravich's last words, less than a minute before he died, were "I feel great."

dug up the October 22, 2024 episode of Trashfuture to remember their episode long bit about Gerard Butler in Gamer. Milo Edwards:

Milo Edwards on Trashfuture: "That's a good situation. I have a Gerard Butler story. Oh yeah. It's a, it's a Gerard Butler in the bar of my venue at the Edinburgh Fringe type situation. I didn't actually speak to him, but he was in the bar speaking to various people. And it turned out that he'd had a photo with the bouncer outside, who's a guy I'd been chatting to a bunch during the Fringe, who was from rural, tribal Pakistan and had moved to the UK. And he had already sent, he was like, oh, I've put the picture of me and Gerard Butler up as my WhatsApp story. All of my friends in Pakistan are going crazy for it. And then it's like, well, you have a window into like a different culture and like Gerard Butler is genuinely the biggest celebrity. "

Lucky to attend "re-imagining the portland waterfront" last night. The larger project by university of oregon students was breathtaking, practical modeling in an age of ai slop. This was a psu student contribution, a reimagined morrison bridge. Trying to solve the worst car sewer on the waterfront.

A practical model taking up a a medium sized dinner table of a reimagined morrison bridge, focusing on better use of the west entrance and exit, and integrating it into flood control and the larger waterfront as recreational and commercial space.
