  1. ‘Don’t change the channel because a fight might break out!’
  2. Well, sure, in the same sense that the sun rising tomorrow is the most likely outcome. It’s possible that the sun won’t rise tomorrow. But it always has in the past and inductive reasoning dictates that we should assume it will rise again tomorrow.
  3. I don’t think you know what “reality” means. The reality you describe has never happened before. No 1-loss non-champ has ever made the playoff over a 1-loss P5 champ. You’re describing fantasy, something that only exists in your imagination, not reality. It’s fine if you want to believe it. And you can link to a website where somebody arbitrarily assigns odds to it happening. But it’s not going to happen. No 1-loss non-champ is getting into the CFP over a 1-loss champion Texas. That’s reality.
  4. Yeah, I’m more certain now than ever that Bush stole the election in Florida back in 2000 based on their accusations against the Dems in 2020. And let’s not even get started on the whole pedophile groomer thing.
  5. I mean, surely there must be some voter fraud going on that favors Democratic candidates. But all I ever see are examples of Republican voter fraud. Maybe that’s why they’re so worried about voter fraud. Since they do it so much they assume the other side must be doing it too. It is sort of uncanny, though, how it seems that it’s only the Republicans who are consistently committing voter fraud.
  6. I saw on the news that Taylor Swift canceled a concert because of the heat and that a fan had died because of the heat. It’s way beyond time to admit that there’s a serious problem and we have to do something about it. But we still have the leader of a major political party calling it a hoax and the party’s media outlets propagating denial. Meanwhile I’m debating whether I should buy a new snow shovel this year. I didn’t need one last winter. White Christmases are rare these days. It’s supposed to be 54 on Thanksgiving. Back in 1993 we got our first snow on Halloween. I was aware of the scientific consensus on global warming back then and have been watching the battle between science and industry-funded denialism for over three decades. And my personal experience living in one locale all that time comports with the science. It’s pretty depressing. But what’s particularly astounding is that there are still people living in denial when the undeniable evidence is staring them right in the face.
  7. The only calculation that matters is the last one. Undefeated conference champs go in first. 1-loss conference champs go in next. No 1-loss non-champ is going in over a 1-loss champ. tOSU got in last year because the PAC-12 champ had 2 losses. The loser of The Game (the B1G one, not the Ivy one) won’t get in over a 1-loss Big 12 champion Texas. Guaranteed.
  8. So is the winner. They’re not even bowl eligible yet. (Cal beat Stanford 27-15 on Saturday in the 126th playing of the Big Game.)
  9. Trump can’t afford a divorce let alone a younger wife.
  10. 11W and tRCMB working together. That warms my heart.
  11. More new flavors from Doritos. They’re going ranch crazy. (That should be Blazin’ Buffalo & Blue Cheese, btw. Philistines.) Are these new? I’m not sure. And I’m not sure how they figure “flamin’ hot” and “cool” at the same time, but whatever.
  12. Which one of your family members are you paying to run the ads?
  13. Dayton suburb of Beavercreek last night. The report says the shooter had a rifle but all 4 victims are reported to be in the hospital, no deaths so far, so maybe he didn’t have an assault rifle. Shooter shot himself before police arrived. https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/crews-respond-to-active-shooter-at-beavercreek-walmart/Q24SROW5F5DNPJLTHJQUVXIAB4/ Beavercreek Walmart mass shooting: 4 injured, gunman kills self, police say A gunman around 8:35 p.m. entered the store at 3360 Pentagon Blvd. and began firing shots, he said. “He injured four victims, who were all transported to area hospitals for treatment. The conditions of the victims is unknown,” he said. The shooter died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, the captain said. A CareFlight medical helicopter left around 9:50 p.m. for Miami Valley Hospital, and three other victims were taken to Soin Medical Center - Kettering Health in Beavercreek. The Greene County Coroner’s Office responded just before 10:30 p.m. to the scene. An employee reported hearing at least two shots but did not see anyone hit. “I thought it was glass at first. I heard a couple people running and screaming so I darted out and we got to the Burger King parking lot,” the worker said. One witness described the shooter as a tall young white guy carrying a rifle who reportedly walked by her before he opened fire, she said in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, that was recorded outside the store. Wright State University students Anna Cowley and Kailie Conley said they watched and counted as between 30 and 40 cruisers with lights and sirens pulled up outside Walmart. “We were grabbing a bite nearby,” Conley said. “We were like ‘What’s going on?’ “The parking lot was flooded (with police cars),” she said. “There was police dogs that were running in, a bunch of cops running in … It was a lot, especially with how many how cops did show up.” Walmart is a place where Wright State students, including the two young women, shop frequently. Cowley had been at Walmart earlier in the day. “This is crazy thinking that literally less than five minutes away is where we live and where we stay every day, and that could happen at any time to us. Like they could have went to campus and not a Walmart,” Cowley said.
  14. This seems kind of timely. This was posted yesterday: ”This isn't just happening with diapers. It's happening across our entire economy. Inflation rose 14% between July 2020 and July 2022. But corporate profits rose by 75% over those two years — five times as fast as inflation. Remember when the media said “greedflation” was a fringe theory? Now looking back, it’s undeniable.” https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz1Ve9wMGuO/
  15. Your reputation around here is that everything you say is stupid and wrong so you probably shouldn’t go around lecturing others about making a bad impression.
  16. Jimmy released a statement yesterday. “Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” President Carter said. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.” https://www.cartercenter.org/news/pr/2023/statement-rosalynn-carter-111923.html
