The latest Cameron sculpture proposal will allow folks to sit next to him. I strongly prefer this idea over the original (which had Cameron on a pedestal). #LNK

Fun fact about the NCAA's college soccer rule 5.7 (video review): the rule does not require that a coach's challenge be even remotely realistic. Want a timeout? Just randomly pick a valid reason from 5.7.3 and request a review. Boom, there's your timeout.

5.7.3 Video review is permissible in the following specific situations:
5.7.3.1 Determining whether the entire ball passed over the goal line for a
goal, which includes end of period timing issues;
5.7.3.2 Correcting timing errors;
5.7.3.3 Determining whether violent behavior occurred and identifying all
participants;
5.7.3.4 Correctly identifying players for disciplinary matters;
5.7.3.5 Determining if a direct free kick foul committed by the defending
team took place in the penalty area;
5.7.3.6 Determining if an offense punishable by a penalty kick has occurred;
5.7.3.7 Determining whether a straight red card (not a second caution)
should have been issued (the referee can upgrade the call to a straight red
card or downgrade it to a yellow card or a free kick);
5.7.3.8 Determining the proper punishment in cases of stopping a promising
attack or denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity (the referee can
examine the validity of the decision to call a foul or not and whether the
play meets the criteria for denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity or
stopping a promising attack);
5.7.3.9 Determining whether a goal should have been disallowed for an
offside offense. This includes plays where the call on the field resulted in
an offside call or a goal being awarded;
Note: If the referee has blown the whistle for an offside offense before the ball enters
the goal, the play is then not reviewable.
5.7.3.10 Determining whether the attacking team committed an offense,
including offside, prior to or in the process of scoring a goal; and
Note: A ball going out of bounds in the build up to a goal is not reviewable.
5.7.3.11 Determining whether the attacking team committed an offense,
including offside, prior to the award of a penalty kick or a red card for
Denial of an Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity.
Note: A ball going out of bounds in the build up to the penalty kick or red card
for DOGSO is not reviewable.

C Lot is at least double that distance. Maybe the Code refers to a school "facility" or something, which could include LSE's track?

I hope this is the pose they use.

I see that Amazon no longer tells you which item you ordered in their confirmation emails. Instead, they describe the item in very generic terms -- so generic, that they're flat out wrong and therefore extremely confusing. For example, I ordered cabin and engine air filters for my vehicle. Amazon:

Happy Cake Batter Explosion Day to all who celebrate! Some say there are still batter splatters yet to be discovered, even six years later.

A woman with her back to the camera cleans up cake batter off a wood kitchen floor using paper towels. A bowl -- the source of the cake batter -- sits on the floor nearby. There are splatters all over nearby cabinets and a sliding glass door. Two dogs watch through the glass.

Today I hit my 100th reverse rainbow in Connections. I blame @hankgreen.bsky.social; I didn't know reverse rainbows were a thing until I heard him reference them.

The new election stickers are awesome. Kudos to the Lancaster County Election Commission for kicking the sticker tradition up a notch. #LNK

Two stickers. The first shows a meadowlark with a speech bubble that reads "I VOTED". The second shows a teddy bear holding an American flag, along with the text "FUTURE VOTER".

Google Chrome's auto-generated captions: hilariously inept or brilliant dadaist art?

A screenshot of text generated by Google Chrome's auto captions. The text reads:

in her eyeball. Voting, no Senator Jacobson. Voting gas in her calf? Putting ghosts in her Lippincott? Voting, no snewski. Putting no sir McKinney? Passenger Fred Meyer. Voting notice near Glenn Meyer. Putting down Mosher? Voting nose in a merman? Now, votings in a pro cop. But in, yes, and they're quick. But in gas and raybold. But in, yes, in a repeat. Putting those in a round tree? But in gas under Sanders voting nose in Sorrentino. Putting Nelson or Spivey? But in gas in a store. Footing

It feels like this text from the #LNK Marathon registration process has a bigger back story than it first appears. Does this mean no more costumes? Are the National Guard ruckers an exception to the "ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS" policy?

I ask this with no snark: *what* war on protein? Protein has never been an enemy. There have been wars on fat, sugar, salt, and many other micro- and macronutrients. But when was protein ever the bad guy? It's like saying we are ending the war on water.
