@Hlas Actually no, never saw the movie. And it’s technically the mid-minors. CR is right in the middle of five levels.

It's still the goal to find and destroy every single canned organ sound at this ballpark. Every ... single ... one. 20-plus years is enough.

Well, another year is passing and I still have yet to be asked to be a commencement speaker. Which is a huge mistake, because I have the insights to reach today's hippies that few of today's Truman Capotes and Joan Didions can match.

@Hlas I never expected a Beatles tie in, but was pleasantly surprised. Good work, as always.

The People's Tight End never stops inspiring.
George Kittle@gkittle46

At 4 am this morning, as I laid in a deep slumber, I was called to action by my wife who had discovered a spider the size of a half dollar in the bathroom. Without hesitation I arose to combat the intruder. Claire handed me the slant board I’ve been using for rehab, and I immediately knew the spider had no chance. It took but 1 attempt to strike down my opponent. I received hugs and kisses for my bravery and fell back asleep with confidence. Have a day gentlemen. 🕷️

Just deleted my ChatGPT account. Not using any AI if I don't have to from here on out. Data centers getting pushed through despite public outcry has me done with this.

Weird that @Lane_Kiffin never said a word about this while he was coaching at Ole Miss for 6 seasons….if Ole Miss is such a racist place, which it is, why not speak out about it while you were the highest paid employee there?
VANITY FAIR@VanityFair

In explaining his decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU, Lane Kiffin seems willing to invoke Ole Miss's struggle to distance itself from symbols like the Confederate flag, Colonel Rebel, and the nickname "Ole Miss" itself. When he was coaching there, Kiffin says, top recruits would tell him, “‘Hey, coach, we really like you. But my grandparents aren’t letting me move to Oxford, Mississippi.’ That doesn’t come up when you say Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Parents were sitting here this weekend saying the campus’s diversity feels so great: ‘It feels like there’s no segregation’” vanityfair.com/news/story/lan…

Hlas Out of Bounds: None of the news about Ben McCollum's contract extension at Iowa is the least bit surprising, but sometimes the best news is getting suspicions confirmed and seeing the expected become reality. mikehlas.substack.com/p/iowa-ben-mcc…
