FEI gave Rutgers a 99% chance to beat UMass. The projected margin of victory is 34 points. The Vegas spread is 28 points. UMass leads 24-7 with 3:42 left in the first half. They have not punted yet.

Dolly Parton never spoke up for Israel, for Sudan, for Taiwan, or for any other place other than America And nobody is upset about it nor should they be. But she didn’t go on a unhinged tirade about Gaza, so the progressives are slandering her in death

I'm seeing some people ask why the Democratic Party and congressional leaders aren't doing more to challenge Trump's anti-voting executive order. They were literally the first to seek a new injunction after SCOTUS ruled. I know, because I am their lawyer. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...

There is no record of Representative Jeffries accepting money from the Israeli government. "Cathy" is an antisemitic liar. I guess the only true thing she said is that she doesn't care about his record in the House, because if she did then she would support him.

Joe Shorter ⚜️ @joeshorter.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Regarding "universal healthcare", Representative Jeffries co-sponsored Medicare-for-All legislation from 2013-2021. He is not currently sponsoring any particular bill on it because he is in a leadership role, but he would whip up the votes for it if he is Speaker. So she was being dishonest there.

Joe Shorter ⚜️ @joeshorter.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
It's not just that Trump was impeached twice. Rep. Jeffries voted to impeach Trump twice. He was also one of the House impeachment managers during the first impeachment trial, so she was blatantly lying on that part.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

RIP Dolly Parton.

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.

My thoughts on SNW S4E05, "Level-Five Transporter Incident". I really liked it because it used the absurdity of Muppets to explore Spock's internal struggles.

Note how often he is referred to as "the Vulcan" and addressed as "Vulcan" in this episode. That's the manifestation of his internalized isolation. 2/2

Joe Shorter ⚜️ @joeshorter.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
In addition to his dual nature, he was and is also dealing with being isolated as the only Vulcan on the ship. He turns to T'Pring and she helps him on his journey back to his Vulcan roots, which gives him a peaceful place when he faces the chaos of his world. 1/2

That's not fair to them. They finished third in their two horse title race in 2015-16, in which they lost 5-1 on the final day to a 10-man, relegated Newcastle side while conceding three goals *after* the red card!

Joe Shorter ⚜️ @joeshorter.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
It's meant to be absurd and jarring because of the turmoil that is going on in Spock's mind at this point. We see a similar turmoil in Star Trek III when Spock's katra is severed. It is fractured within him at this stage, which is why there was so much chaos. So it wasn't "just a dream" to me. 3/3
120 2
Joe Shorter ⚜️ @joeshorter.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Spock experienced trauma in the transporter incident, and that triggered this fever dream that put all of his stress and anxiety to the forefront. The strange conduct of the puppet versions of everyone were exaggerated versions of how Spock sees them, whether he is conscious of it or not. 2/3
120 2
Joe Shorter ⚜️ @joeshorter.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
I have to disagree with this review because this episode, to me, was about Spock's psychology and his transition from Discovery Spock to TOS Spock. And really, it fits when viewed through the lens of the episodes leading up to this point, esp. "The Griffin Incident" and "Human Best Friend". 1/3

Where was this newfound sense of compassion for Jason Arday? Note, I don't want people to drive Harp to the point of suicide; rather, I want compassion for everyone and for the press and other talking heads to have some introspection and understand their role in all of this.
