Samford @ Florida

DJ Lagway starting and looks mostly like he should versus a middling FCS team, but this Florida team is still very inefficient. Billy doesn't get fired this week, but he's not restoring much faith either.

Dollywood’s cool, and Dolly (peace be upon her) speaks well of East Tennessee in general.

Mostly just amusing myself trying not to reuse the distinguishing terms.

One of my best friends from UF did law school at Sunsphere UT, and I actually considered it for undergrad seriously enough to tour the campus.

I too find that acceptable. I am pleased both that TCU doesn't play this version of Sixth-Street UT, and that they might have a chance to humble Florida's biggest rival in a year where we, uhhh, won't. For some reason, I still think the Gators will at least show up against Dollywood UT.

Can somebody please explain to me how Jennifer Hetrick was never cast as a one-episode Seinfeld girlfriend?

His poor ear looks like it's been infected with space ticks, though.

I hope they got to the root of the problem.

Seriously. One eventually learns most of the ways that Word breaks reality itself to provide mediocre desktop publishing and organizational features in an upjumped text editor, but sometimes you just spam vaguely related keys until it sorta works.

Jimmy in Contracts still has a facial tic from that SoW in aught-nine.

Yeah, that’s the part that doesn’t work. Even if they needed to cram the exposition in between the world-changing call to action and the hero’s refusal, you have to tie them together and give then some stakes: “Before I decide anything, you need to tell me WTF she’s talking about” or the like. But then you need more dialogue and it changes the tone of the scene.

It tracks better to have us drop in on the almost completed exposition conversation/rest and recovery after the sand people attack, before jumping into the next crisis.

And yeah, it’s completely possible that Lucas originally intended for Padme to be the one Leia was talking about, but the point is, the movies don’t actually specify if she meant Padme or the middle wife, so it can still be explained.

  1. Good. What a horrible person. "In the phone recordings, Ryan uses a anti-gay slur against David Coulter, the county’s highest elected official, who is gay. She also referred to Blacks in the U.S. as lazy. 'I’m not systemically racist. I’m a new racist,' said Ryan, who was first elected in 2010."

  2. I'm not sure schadenfreude and relief that some asshole finally found the limits of their insulation from consequences quite counts as "uplifting."

See, I went completely the other direction. We know from the Dagobah scene that Luke already knows Leia is his sister, and he's dealing with some pretty serious parent shit right now, so it would be on his mind. There is almost no reason for him to ask that question and specify "real" mother unless he already knew (from their years of acquaintance by this point) that she was adopted and that this would be his last chance to ask her and get a response uncolored by the impending revelation.

Lucas ignored that addition when making episode I.

I mean.... this is just what he did. A lot. And not just with EU stuff. The mental gymnastics necessary to square the scripts of the OT with the PT would impress Simone Biles.

The new policies include a measure to annotate trans members’ records, grouping them with members who have committed sexual violence or child abuse.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known widely as the Mormon church, issued a slew of new policies this week expanding its restrictions on transgender members.

The policies, released Monday, include rules barring trans people from working with children, becoming priests and serving as teachers. The church also expanded on an existing rule that barred trans people from being baptized.

Trans members will also face possible annotation on their membership records, grouping them with churchgoers who have committed incest, sexual predatory behavior, sexual violence against children and embezzlement of church funds.

Lest anyone think the Church is "coming around..."

I'm sure many of you know this one, but some of you may not, and the rest could always hear it again. Story itself is by Terry Bisson.

This doesn’t sound like an issue for those who use Fusion frequently, however you may want to find ways to get local files, just to be safe.
