When you’re at the airport and through security early in the morning 90 minutes before boarding

It was just shown on perhaps the grandest scale possible that the SEC is not any better at football than other conferences. If anything, they’re low caliber #CFP #CFBPlayoff

None of the 1-4 seeds made it to the final four of the #CFP. In the old system, they would’ve been simply placed there

When you let them play it out on the field, no one actually knows who’s going to go all the way

I can think of no better justification for the expanded playoff system

The sunset hitting the San Gabriel Mountains at the end of the 3rd quarter of the Rose Bowl... the main reason this game will not budge on kicking-off at 5pm ET.

Missing that Offensive PI call is inexcusable #CFP #BoiseState #PennState

This thread is for authors of scientific papers, and particularly astronomers. I struggled a bit with how explicit I had to be, but I think including a name is important. We (meaning all the major journals) have rules against submitting a manuscript to more than one journal at a time. 1/6

Since I recently joined Bluesky, people should be warned that I have a life goal of making my followers as hungry as possible

So in that spirit, I present last night’s braised beef ragu with pasta. Homemade from scratch 😋 who’s hungry?

I sympathize with this desire. However, for those who would like to defend themselves with a firearm, please also take self defense training.

Especially in close quarters, your attacker may take it and use it on you. This is actually an *extremely* common source of gun injuries.
I regret to say, I am researching buying a hand gun. I believe I will have the need to conceal and carry as we travel through an uncertain future. I will take my time with my research. When I purchase, I will practice often at shooting ranges, practice safe storage, etc. Women, prepare!

Someone who knows more about football than me — please explain why you would ever run it up the middle in any circumstance whatsoever

Like… That’s where the defense is???
