After last year's Texas A&M game, I predicted Billy Napier would get fired. After this year's, I'm calling for it. Napier's inability to produce consistent quality play and complete unwillingness to change means Florida needs to move on to a new football coach.

Congrats on being a novelist

Screenshot of partial Google AI result for "Spencer Hall". It says:

Writing
• Journalism: Before his current roles, Hall gained a reputation for his college football writing for outlets like SB Nation and Grantland.
• Kind of Sort of Fine: He is the author of this novel, his first.

Kid 2's preschool is calling today "Discover's Day" which might be the euphemism that'd make the most people mad because:
1. It doesn't mention Columbus by name, but
2. Still implicitly gives him credit for discovering North America, which he didn't because people were already there

a lot of people want to read Trump and team's fossil fuel obsession as being about *money* but while there is of course a corruption element, it's primarily pure culture war stuff. even many of the big fossil fuel companies want to get into renewables because it's so obviously the future.

Coal production and employment in Wyoming has steadily been declining, much like the rest of the industry in the US.

Coal is a dead industry.

The Indiana football Hoosiers are undefeated since I took possession of this ashtray.

Philip Michaels @philipmichaels.bsky.social · 22d

My parents did not smoke, and yet they owned an ashtray shaped like the state of Indiana, and if you flipped it over, it showed the major cities of Indiana on the back. As a map-loving kid, it fascinated me.

And now, it is mine, though I ceased cigar-smoking once my daughter was born.

What you see here in the children’s father, Bandit, is the culmination of sin. A father whose very name evokes crime, the criminal of criminals. Bluey, the color of sorrow.

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

It’s all so predictable. Can’t beat a team worth anything in the road. It’s never going to be championship caliber. Pull the plug.

David Wunderlich @davidwunderlich.bsky.social · 4d

My latest: the next time Billy Napier beats a team with a winning record on the road will be his first, and his team travels to Kyle Field this weekend. I examined all his losses to winning teams away from home to see where the struggles have come from.

Examining Billy Napier’s struggles away from home before the pivotal game at Texas A&M | GatorCountry.com

If you widen the lens a bit from “on the road” to “away from home”, then he only has one such win: last year’s Gasparilla Bowl victory over Tulane. He’s still ofer against power conference competition with winning records away from the Swamp.
