I went to multiple Texas games in Manhattan, I never caught any shit, even when I absolutely deserved it a time or two. I've got no issue pulling for them.
No ill will towards ISU, just more attachment to KSU. I'm good with either winning the Big XII.
I also went to a game at KSU as part of a solo road trip. 2012. We predictably lost. People in the stands were nice and a group of ksu fans bought me a drink before the game, telling me I would need it. Not a bad experience for a road loss.

I'm definitely biased, but this documentary was hysterical. After a few bong rips, 2 brothers see their family's birding field guide and decide to learn all the birds.
Despite no knowledge or experience, they embark on a lower 48 big year in their shitty minivan, with hilarious interactions along the way. Shockingly well done.

I would be lying if I said I've never used it, but I very rarely do so anymore now that I'm fully aware of the consequences. In places with a lot of birders who may also be using playback and during breeding season are definite no-no's, because it will definitely cause them to expend that extra energy to investigate or respond.
It's very common with guides in the tropics, apparently. But so is "taming" hard to see things like antpittas with daily feelings. I have mixed feelings about that. Certainly not ideal, but it does encourage locals to protect their land for ecotourism versus clearing it for agriculture or whatever else.

For those who followed my family saga a few months ago, you will be shocked to find out that my parents remain some combination of dumb and racist, despite "apologizing" for voting for Trump when they were forced to have a serious discussion if they wanted our relationship to continue.
Here is my mother responding to my wife, who texted her about the Smithsonian and presumably ICE.
Such wishy-washy bullshit equivocation that almost makes me more angry than if they just admitted they will always be Pro-Trump. I'm continuously finding this relationship more and more difficult to rationalize.
I know some people can separate family and politics, but we are well outside "normal" politics, and they just can't bring themselves to admit any Republican could ever be worse than any Democrat. The Trump-Putin stuff is particularly laughable. I'm fucking ashamed to share DNA with my entire Trumpy-ass family tree. The only bright spot is that my siblings and me apparently inherited the same mutation that has made us politically (really, morally) unlike 95% of our embarrassing family.

And today we announced that we will not be funding ANY wind or solar projects going forward. We are giving the future to the Chinese on a silver platter.

Those motherfuckers were quite unpleasant at that game. We walked all 5 miles back to our hotel with people swerving across traffic and onto sidewalks to give us a horns down after a loss.

Yea, some of those misses were Quinn's bread and butter. Maybe don't rocket it to your receiver's feet when he's 5 yards away.
