Pretty cool note I got from a tech CEO/founder who watched NCAAs about hiring wrestlers: “I'll say this: without question my favorite hiring profile is a D3 All-American wrestler. You competed in the darkness. No lights, no crowd, sometimes literally no one watching. You showed up anyway and you figured it out. Give me 10 of those guys and they're worth 50 fancy Ivy League degrees. Every time. The mat doesn't lie.” Thoughts?

@bschneider33 He's already had "3-5" surgeries on his knee.

Nebraska wrestler AJ Ferrari just posted this on Instagram... "Next season, I look forward to coming back stronger and giving everything I have. I will continue to grow, learn, and improve in every way, and I trust that if it is Yahuah’s will, the results will come. I tore my knee partially in the round of 16 and even more completely in the quarterfinals, but I chose to keep fighting." NU must apply for a waiver to get another year of eligibility for Ferrari.

@BastidasBurner 3-5 surgeries? 😝

AJ Ferrari accuses Yonger Bastida of using HGH and says he needs to be tested 😂

Round tables of America!

Terrence Malick’s first cut of The Thin Red Line (1998) was seven hours long. To reach the final theatrical length, he famously edited out entire performances by stars like Bill Pullman and Mickey Rourke to focus on the film’s poetic tone.

@zei_squirrel @grok when and where was this Chappelle performance ?

Dave Chappelle: "I've never said this before, but fuck Bill Maher. Israel killed 240 Palestinian journalists, I didn't know you were still counting. The fear I have I need you to protect me from is co-option. So we need a code, if I say it they got me: "I stand with Israel."

If One Battle wins any Oscars, I sure hope PTA thanks the Coen brothers and Jeffrey Lebowski (not the millionaire) for leading the way.

Bright future!

@gotrice2024 Lesson learned: invite your neighbors to your loud parties.

This woman called the police on her neighbors once, three years ago for having a loud party at night. For the next three years, every time the neighbors go by the hour or even their friends go by, they honk their horn in their cars at her house at all hours of the days. She’s grown very irritated at this and feels like this is harassment. The police can’t do anything about people honking their horn at you so she had to suffer in silence until today she finally snapped and laid into them. Its affecting her young children’s sleeping schedules too, is there anything else she can do at this point to get it to stop?

RANDOM THOUGHT: The late Clarence "CJ" Johnson — as much a part of the fabric of Charlotte basketball as anyone in local history — is probably smiling, from way up there, watching these NCHSAA playoffs unfold. On Wednesday afternoon, his grandson, West Charlotte sophomore Kaharri Coleman (@HarriColeman28) had scouts from UNC watch him score 25 points, grab 6 rebounds to go with 3 assists in a regional championship win over previously unbeaten West Forsyth. Coleman picked up an NC State offer earlier this week. And Johnson said he always felt a special kin to West Charlotte (@DubCLions), a school he "adopted" when he moved to Charlotte from New York. Then, the basketball power he built, the Mallard Creek girls (@CreekGirlsBB), won their first regional championship, beating Mecklenburg County rival Ardrey Kell. Now, Johnson's favorite two schools — and his grandbaby — are going to the states. Not a bad little story that.

@miles_commodore Show them. Nostalgia is powerful.

If a family rang your doorbell and said he lived in this house 30 years ago and wanted to show his kids where he grew up. How would you handle that?

Who is the best actor in the picture?

@Kulambq @WaywardWinifred As a father, I must believe that Tim Buckley would hate your take

When people mention Tim Buckley, it's often only to note that he was the father of Jeff Buckley and also a musician in his own right. But without exaggeration, Tim was the far superior musician of the two.

@benhuncc True - Yet they can score 12 in 30 seconds at any moment.

Honestly feels like the effort hasn’t been consistent since the all star break
