Does our ruin benefit the earth, does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed through this night?

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social @rodger.bsky.social I listened to the Super kicker episode today. Texas went for 22, 42, 48, 55 and 56 yard FGs today. Missed the longest two, but they were all justified!

I'm right there with you. I was looking forward to it, but the rapid fire jumping from song to song and bit to bit without a breather was too much for me

I was troubleshooting because I can finally sign up and wanted to share the knowledge. Thanks for all the fine work you do

Bomani Jones and Spencer Hall talked about this recently. They were saying when things come that easy to you, you can't relate to the average player or teach them on their level

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

Kaleb Horton’s mom has written some comments and asked to spread her thanks for everyone online who’s been sharing their appreciations: “you all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.”

Matt, I do not have much of a social media presence and have no idea how to deliver a message to all of the amazing people who have sent me messages and been so kind and supportive so if that is something you are able to do I would so appreciate it. I am so overwhelmed with my world just ending but you are all so kind and so supportive of Kaleb and I feel so inadequate to honor him with his peers. Just pass along any way that you can that you all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.

A guy I knew who served in the Navy said he trusted the guys who were there because they needed a place to go was always skeptical of those who joined for capital D Duty

I work in a lab in the US with a bunch of folks from other countries and I feel like a weird ambassador explaining fucked up aspects of the US system like the electoral college, health insurance, lack of a safety net, etc.

RIP Kaleb Horton

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.
