Once again my Spotify Wrapped is weird because I mostly listen to podcasts and music is primarily on my phone/on CD/the campus radio station is pretty good.

As the year comes to an end and everyone's contemplating how to either get healthier or slow their hastening decline, it's worth it to know that collagen supplements really are BS and what to eat/take instead 👀

I named my fists Sound and Fury because I tend to ramble on in run-on sentences
I named my fists Common and Sense because I'm about to bring the Paine
I named my fists Blood and Meridian because I’m fixing to Judge your ass.

On top of all the other Kiffin drama, apparently there’s debate over ownership of Juice? @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social I need an investigation!

It’s burning goat countdown time!
This the Gävle Goat: a Christmas tradition in the Swedish city of Gävle since 1966. Another Gävle tradition? In the last 58 years, the goat has been burnt to the ground 30 times, has been run over by a car, shot with flaming arrows and torn apart. It has only survived without damage 19 times.

Why worry about the future of my college football team when I have a brand new Netflix account, just finished Stranger Things Season 5 (Pt. 1), and I’ve moved onto collection 13 of the Great British Baking Show?

This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology.
Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

Meteorologists are surprised that the weather model that did the best job forecasting hurricanes this year was a new one, introduced by Google. AI may be the beginning of a new era of forecasting. n.pr/49MFa1M

Someone please run up to Chevron and get that man some chicken on a stick, he needs protein to keep this up!
This is Marty Smith, I’ve had six Monster energy drinks today. I’ve got a case of Celsius in my trunk in a cooler if needed while we await Lane Kiffin’s decision.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion (probably popular for by Bluesky standards). The gift exchange is my absolute LEAST favorite part of Christmas and I would love to do away with it.
