This is the truest thing ever posted. I used to love the MMB halftime shows, but now our entire half of the stadium can’t hear the band. And we got just the faintest glimmer of Yo-Yo Ma this afternoon.

At the stadium and would love to know the rule and whether tipped ball matters

True, but unless he’s about to start undoing the damage he’s done — and, uh, don’t hold your breath — there’s nothing to prevent this forecast from happening. You presumably didn’t mean this as a defense of Elon Musk, but he surely isn’t worthy of one.

Star City was surprisingly good, although I wasn’t thrilled with the ending.

So true. How could a fellow media panelist possibly be surprised by this? It’s right out of the authoritarian playbook - maybe media “elites” should get up to speed on this, or talk to their many colleagues who have reported on it.

Dang, man! Spoiler much?

Oddly, I too worry about gullible people in this country (as well as those who don’t know how to spell “gullible”), but for reasons having nothing to do with mask-wearing on planes. I’m more concerned about quacks being appointed to government posts that should require scientific expertise.

Wasn’t aware that UConn was in the B12?

Bolton’s way ahead of you — Trump “believes” he has an “excellent” relationship with Xi, so of course he’ll do whatever Trump asks, even if it runs counter to China’s best interests!

If either Netflix or Paramount promises to get this clown off the air, I fully support their takeover bid.

But Bredesen isn’t playing, so who do you expect them to call it on?

Tell me you haven’t watched any Michigan football this year without telling me . . .

Average of the 25-yarders he’s missed and the 55-yarders he’s made?

Results based charting?

Don’t suppose they reviewed it during the 4 minute commercial break?

James Lewis @james-lewis.bsky.social · 18/10/2025
Hey, but they stopped *one*screen today, so a definite improvement!

James Lewis @james-lewis.bsky.social · 18/10/2025
Great call

This was the specific play where my patience with Wink ran out. Easiest pitch and catch ever.

But who could have predicted a Lincoln Riley offense running screens?

Yeah, pretty sure you’ll think differently when you look at the film

Yeah, spoke too soon I guess.

On the first day of my clerkship, the judge I worked for took me to watch him swear in new citizens. The highlight of my career. Thank you for this reminder of what America is (supposed to be) about. John Roberts and his ilk should be ashamed.

Pretty sure that’s grounds for the CC manager to be arrested and deported

Looks like I have to add to my rubric for student speech cases: 1) quote Tinker language that students don’t “shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate,” then 2) rule against student. New step 3 — unless student is a culture warrior against wokeness.

On the bright side, as the US descends into fascism, it’s helpful to be able to narrow down the list of countries to move to

But it’s so much easier to let the bottom-line poll numbers determine your message, and then pat yourself on the back for focusing on the issues your constituents supposedly are most concerned about

I too always write op-eds in national publications speculating (wrongly) that an emerging pandemic is no big deal in order to marshal support for serious study rather than rank speculation.

Fun fact - my father spent his entire career working for a U.S. automaker. He wasn’t affected by offshoring of jobs - instead, after he retired and was living off his pension, the company drastically reduced his so-called “lifetime” health benefits and jacked up his premiums. Ah, the good old days!

Our nuclear launches could be more efficient, I guess?
