This is really good.

@Atomsmade My favorite saying is you need to “ask Jesus into your heart”. Oh, you mean the essential muscular organ used to circulate blood through my body? What a weird place to visit.

I don’t care whether he existed or not; my point is what’s actually attributed to him doesn’t match how the real world works. You’ve got stories of healing blindness with mud and spit. In real life, blindness is a medical condition with causes like nerve damage or eye defects, you don’t fix that with dirt and saliva. You’ve got claims that people can handle snakes or survive poison if they believe enough. But venom doesn’t care about belief, biology reacts the same way every time. Then there’s the idea that if your eye makes you sin, you should cut it out. But human behavior doesn’t come from body parts like that. You don’t solve desire or thoughts by removing an organ. Mental illness and sickness were often blamed on demons, but now we know epilepsy is brain activity, infections come from microbes, and disorders have neurological causes, not spirits. And then the big miracle claims: walking on water, stopping storms instantly, raising dead people. These don’t match physics or biology. Water doesn’t support human weight, storms don’t pause on command, and death after certain biological limits isn’t reversible. So the pattern is simple: it reflects an ancient understanding of how nature works, not modern science. And when you compare it to what we actually know today, it doesn’t hold up as literal reality. Jesus's story shows that Bible writers didn't know shit about science.

@BossNass15 @HaroldRKuntz3 Someday when we get choked out by volcanic ash here in KC, imma make sure I go out cranking my hog like the Pompeii guy. The joke that keeps on giving.

@HaroldRKuntz3 It is that thing that locals count on to always save them until one day it doesn’t and it turns into Pompeii

Alright I give ... someone explain to me the Tonganoxie split local legend.

@Super70sSports That the MVP of Super Bowl LII brother.

Doug Frobel looks like he's seen a lot of fucked up shit for a rookie.

@hogtwt Christ, this is the worst song I’ve ever heard…and I grew up in Nebraska.

this song is so bad. Its to an extent where its almost inspiring. I cant stop thinking about it.

@JohnRichTV Just stick with Don and Mud, best in the business

This announcer just went full Forrest Gump in the middle of Rockies-Padres

“the pope is weak on crime” is a top-5 funniest thing any politician has said ever in history

Trump finally releases his healthcare plan.

@kicknyrgios Agreed they missed the mark this year. Sam Burns was a great story and was in the running all weekend, but you wouldn’t have even known he was playing. Aside from his great putt on 16, they never showed or mentioned him.

CBS not knowing where Rory’s approach went is the worst camerawork I’ve ever seen, and then they double it with missing Cam’s. What are we fucking doing.

@statfax The play by play guy made the worst error not even knowing who is in at Catcher.

Jonas Heim made 8 errors on this play 🤯 It is an MLB and defense record

The San Diego Padres crowd chanting “Holy Sheets” moments before Gavin Sheets connects for a majestic walk off 3-run home run. How can you not be romantic about baseball ❤️

The idea that god would wait 13 billion years (universe start) or even 4.5 billion years (earth formation) or even 8 million years (human ancestor identified) or even 300,000 years (modern human identified) before he sent himself down in the guise of his son to be brutally murdered to forgive himself for misdemeanours against himself is too ridiculous to be believed in the 21st century.

howard dean yelled a little too loud at the 2004 Iowa caucus and was deemed too unhinged to be president just thinking about that for no reason today

@EastBreese Ugh, that was brutal. What a time for 2 missed free throws and a horrid bank shot.

For all you highly moronic moon conspiracy theorists... The moon landings happened. Here are four bulletproof reasons why the hoax theory collapses under its own weight. 1. We brought back 842 pounds of moon rocks and geologists worldwide have been slicing them open for 55 years Apollo 11–17 crews hauled back samples that scream "lunar origin" in every isotope, crystal structure, and chemical signature. These rocks have zero water content (Earth rocks almost always have some), solar wind particles embedded from billions of years of unfiltered space exposure, and microscopic glass beads formed by ancient meteorite impacts— stuff impossible to replicate with 1960s tech. Independent labs in the Soviet Union, Europe, Japan, and China analyzed them and confirmed: same age (3.7–4.5 billion years), same exotic minerals like armalcolite, same lack of oxidation. If NASA faked it, they'd have needed a secret lunar rock factory decades ahead of its time. Conspiracy theorists never explain how we pulled that off while simultaneously "faking" the tech to get there. These samples are still studied today in museums and universities— you can touch (protected) pieces yourself. 2. Laser reflectors are still on the Moon, and anyone with the right equipment can ping them right now Apollo 11, 14, and 15 crews placed corner-cube retroreflectors on the lunar surface. These are passive mirrors (no batteries, no moving parts) that bounce laser beams straight back to Earth. Observatories like McDonald in Texas, Apache Point in New Mexico, and facilities in France, Italy, and Australia have been firing lasers at them daily since 1969 and measuring the round-trip time to millimeter precision. The data proves the distance to the Moon (about 384,400 km) and how it's slowly receding (3.8 cm/year). China’s Chang’e missions and India’s Chandrayaan have imaged the exact landing sites, including the hardware and tracks. If it was faked, the hoaxers would have needed to secretly land mirrors on the Moon— or convince every laser-ranging scientist on Earth to lie for half a century. Spoiler: they didn’t. 3. Modern orbiters from multiple countries have photographed the landing sites in high resolution—footprints and all NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has snapped razor-sharp images of every Apollo site since 2009. You can see the descent stages, rover tracks, astronaut footprints, and even the exact paths they walked. Japan’s SELENE, India’s Chandrayaan-2, and China’s Chang’e-2 and Chang’e-3 orbiters independently confirmed the same shadows, hardware, and disturbance patterns. These aren’t blurry NASA photos from 1969, they’re crisp, multi-spectral images taken decades later by rival space agencies. The geometry matches perfectly: the flag is still there (Apollo 11’s fell over during liftoff), the rover is parked where they left it, and the blast craters under the landers are exactly as predicted. A studio set on Earth couldn’t survive that level of global scrutiny from space. 4. The conspiracy would have been bigger, dumber, and leakier than the actual mission Over 400,000 people worked on Apollo. That’s engineers, technicians, contractors, secretaries, and janitors across dozens of companies and universities. Not one deathbed confession, not one leaked memo, not one whistleblower with hard proof in 55+ years? That’s statistically insane. The Soviets were tracking every second of the missions in real time with their own radar and radio telescopes— they hated America’s guts and would have screamed "fake" at the first glitch if they could. Instead, they congratulated the U.S. and kept quiet. Faking it would have required inventing better special effects, vacuum chambers, and propulsion tech than what actually existed while hiding it from the very people who built the real rockets. Occam’s razor doesn’t just cut here; it eviscerates the hoax. The footage, the rocks, the reflectors, the photos, the tracking data— they all line up perfectly because the landings were real. The moon is still up there, waiting for the next crew. The evidence isn’t "believable", it’s undeniable. If you’re still on the fence, go look at an LRO image of Tranquility Base or bounce a laser off those reflectors yourself. Remember: conspiracy theory is the sophistication of the ignorant.

I know it's been 40 years and some of you were still sperm in your father, but all y'all screeching NO KIDS WATCHED THE CHALLENGER EXPLOSION are not only stupid, you're pig ignorant. 1) A teacher was on board as an astronaut 2) Lot of teachers wheeled TVs into their classrooms so that kids could watch a teacher fly into space. 3) Those kids saw the Challenger explode One of the worst videos I saw was of Christa McAuliffe's (the teacher in question) classroom -with a sub teacher- watching the video as the Challenger exploded.

@BuriedTreys Love your stuff, the anti-vague post king!

Appreciate the engagement from all the cavemen of the "I ain readin allat" click, as they continue to inadvertently promote long-form analysis Not the brightest bunch

@huskersjames @Huskersota Ha ha, wrong. I could watch this all day. Bookmarking it for when I’m feeling glum.

@Huskersota That’s hard to watch.

Okay, this makes me so sad.

@BOGBackup1 Poetry

Genuinely hopes Ben McCollum stays at Iowa. Not because I think it’s fun that coaches stay loyal to smaller programs when a blue blood comes calling. I hope he falls victim to that loyalty gimmick. Because I want him to think that he can replicate this season again. Because he won’t. And it’ll eat him alive. Over a span of a decade it’ll deteriorate his marriage. He’ll periodically beat his kids in an alcoholic manic rage year after year of NIT runs and falling short of any sort of real success. Then in 20 years, when the .44 is in his mouth, and the tears are rolling down his face, he’ll wonder why he never took that higher job, and what could’ve been, in a regret-filled, pathetic life that will lead to nothing other than a 6 foot grave in Iowa City and some rusted out high school gym named after him

@RenobHawk Never in my 48 years of existence did I ever think I’d be jealous of Iowa athletics, but here we are.

At 6:16 left in the game, Pryce Sandfort made a 3 to take the lead against Iowa. The TBS broadcast showed Matt Rhule in the crowd. After said basket, Nebraska went on a 5 minute and 9 second scoring drought and got outscored 15-6 for the rest of the game.
