Which school?
I mean, all three got the assignment: play the hits, be friendly. GB were the middle artist and had some sound issues, but all three were really tight. Blues Traveler was the closer and they are as tight and fun as ever. John P has lost a ton of weight and looks/sounds great.
I have no desire to discuss any Noles.
I guess I assumed all of the original Doobies were dead. Or at least no longer touring. Holy cow - I wouldn’t want to see that show, either.
Counterpoint: I went to a Spin Doctors/Gin Blossoms/Blues Traveler show earlier this summer and had a great time. I wonder if it depends on the band?
Okay, hear me out: President Corso.
I agree, but I did enjoy Cartman coining the term “Trumplefucks” on South Park recently. Sometimes a profane portmanteau can be delightful.
I was mildly amused by that Meghan Trainor State Farm commercial the first time I saw it last night. Let me tell you: that was some short-lived mild amusement.
Huskers are definitely too light in the ass on the DL right now. We need us some “ain’t givin you an inch” ass.
This play is closer to not being a catch than the fumble was to not being a fumble.
FUMBLE. That is absolutely a fumble.
You think this timeline can’t get any more ghoulish, and then…
I am going to watch this movie. I really do not want to watch this movie.
Puppeh is not enthused.
just thinking out loud that if you told college football fans 20 years ago that Cincinnati vs. Nebraska was a Big 12 vs. Big Ten matchup, I wonder how many would guess correctly which team was which
Yeah, I hadn’t heard about that until the broadcast shared it.
Look, we love him, too, but it’s really best for him to ease into things. He’s seen the field - now isn’t the time to tax either of those remarkable legs. I hope we don’t see him again for a bit - strictly for his own good, of course.
Huh, 3-3-5 defense missing its two large boys who are now on NFL rosters? Surprising.
Reasonable question, though.
SEE! I told you!
A little disappointing that support.espn.com does not take you to a chat room where therapists remind you that you’re a good person even if your team is trash
Red pants WITH stripes, black shoes - man it’s good to see the Huskers in our proper road kits.
Oh, this kid is 19. youtube.com/shorts/KbO-v...
They tried to put Hannity in my multiview.
Hopeful! I think 8-4 or 9-3 is doable! /eye twitches Sorry - it does that.
Bit of fun trivia for the non-Huskers: NE punter Archie Wilson is Australian, just turned 19, can kick with either foot, and has never seen an American football game in person.
Haz had much busy. But now, football!
This one will always make me smile.
ACTION ALERT The #ELCA #Lutheran Church joins the growing condemnation of the continuing catastrophe of violence, starvation & forced displacement in #Gaza, which many international voices are now calling genocide. With your help, we can do our part to act for justice. give.elca.org/page/87300/a...
Not me. I’m in my Holy Spirit era. 🤣🤣🤣
The #ELCA supports our Jewish-American & Israeli siblings who have suffered bec of the Oct. 7 attacks & has condemned those attacks. The #ELCA joins the condemnation of the catastrophe of violence, starvation & displacement in #Gaza. elcamediaresources.blob.core.windows.net/cdn/wp-conte...
Here is a letter from the ELCA's Presiding Bishop to Trump and Congress on the horrors being perpetrated in Gaza and the West Bank. www.elca.org/news-and-eve...
As much as I wish this were true, there are plenty of ELCA folks who support Trump. No idea where the percentages lie, but we aren’t united in opposition by any means.

Wouldn’t the plural of Gandalf be Gandalfii? /shows self out…
For Lutherans, the liturgical calendar is adiaphora – a thing which is neither commanded nor forbidden by scripture. So even if many Lutheran congregations use a liturgical calendar and a common lectionary, there are definitely outliers.
What, and I cannot stress this enough, the actual fuck? This is one of those times I wonder if Thanos was right.
All in 60 minutes with as little padding as possible, please & thank you. I would watch the hell out of that.
Hot dogs, and it might be by a 2:1 margin.
SECONDED.
A close second and perhaps even more remarkable was the nimbleness of Zach Wiegert, ‘94 Outland winner. 6’4” 310lbs, could dunk two-handed from a stand under the basket, and was a sight to behold blocking downfield. youtu.be/khJwof1Wx6E?...
Most Nebraska fans of my generation would say The Run™️ (if they were at the Fiesta Bowl to see it, as I was), but I’ll go with the pass play at 1:36 in this video. Tommie was perhaps unmatched in the modern era when it came to just doing things that won games. youtu.be/aVTRAYusBBo?...
“If you think about it, it’s hard to tell if the fence is for the geese or for me…”
More dangerous: Cayman Jack or original 4Loko?
I was not prepared for how much I would love “Welcome to Wrexham.” Halfway through season 1 and we should have been watching years ago!
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
“…it’s notable that the Trump administration has not really even made an effort to organize a feasible lie. They have presented little evidence and have at times seemed to almost boast about the arbitrariness of their planning and decision-making.”
Weirdos gonna keep being weird.
Oh, man, you are playing with fire, Nick.
Newark is always cause for concern.
I went to see “Singles” by myself, but that’s more a lack of irony than anything else.
Not quite a date, but I know someone who queued up “Chasing Amy” for a movie night with his wife and his parents when the parents were visiting. “I heard this is hilarious” was all he knew about it. Parents were NOT amused.
Traveling home from Argentina. Whole lotta WTAF in the news today.
I am in Argentina on a companion synod trip. So far we’ve had fugazzetta y asado in Buenos Aires, chipas in Eldorado, y alfajores. Anything else I should be sure to eat? (I may try yerba mate if I can get over sharing the filter straw. Not sure I can get over that hill.)
Nice.
2010: My source of existential dread is climate change 2016: ... climate change! and fascism 2020: ... climate change!! and fascism and pandemics 2024: ... climate change!! and fascism!! and pandemics and AI really not enjoying the direction this is going to be quite honest
Enough of this take. I stand proudly with Costco-Americans of all heritages and backgrounds. Costco, unlike the Department of Homeland Security, has never lied to me
Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."
Dear Senator Ernst, The first rule of getting out of a hole: stop digging.
I am apparently a fancy lad who wishes his 7s, Zs and 2s to be noticeably different.
Allyship is more than a rainbow flag. It’s standing between us & those who want us gone. Your support for trans people means nothing if it stops where conflict begins. We don’t need quiet support. We need active resistance to our erasure. Love us loudly. Defend us harder. There is no neutrality.
‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.
Dear friends: On this #MemorialDay2025 please pray in thanksgiving for all those who gave their lives in service to others. Pray for their eternal rest, for their families and friends who mourn them, and for a world of peace.
I’m not going to repost it, not even a screencap, but the President’s Memorial Day message was neither presidential nor appropriate for the occasion.
a last second yellow flag is so perfect for this weird, dumb Indy 500
Thanks!
Honest question: explain the baby blue to me? Never seen Tennessee wear it before.
I know - I’ve completely gone over for F1 and I don’t completely understand how. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
GOOOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG REEEE-EEEEEED GO BIG RED!
Three years of F1 fandom have absolutely ruined my patience with the Indy 500, especially this mess we’re watching today. Between the endless yellows, the commercials, & all the “MURRIKA” this is almost unwatchable by comparison to Monaco this morning.
They won’t do it because decorum and respect for the office is still a thing at West Point, but I wouldn’t penalize any graduate who chose to walk out on this B.S.
Breakfast baseball and Monaco Qualifying = top tier sports morning.
Doubly so for us Lutherans, regardless of which synod.

This was the moment that got me: youtu.be/p2vyk52HHPw?...
I’m thankful I have a bit more of a safety net today, but I know there are millions of people who aren’t so fortunate, and this worries me a lot.
A book that really brought this home to me was “The Pillars of the Earth” by Ken Follett. Yeah, it’s about the building of a fictional cathedral in Middle Ages England, but the first 30 pages show how a capable, gifted mason could go from rising high to completely arsed in the space of a single day.
AOC shuts down GOP outrage—calling out their arrogance, their condescension. “I will not yield to disrespectful men.” No apologies. No deference. Just straight fire. And they couldn’t handle it.💥🔥🔥
ROMAN CITIZEN #1: Gallinus is the mightiest charioteer in the circus. He will surely win the favor of Minerva ROMAN CITIZEN #2: @Cato is this true? CATO: Many people believe that Carthage must be destroyed. It’s a complex issue and the reality is probably more nuanced than that.
As thorough a run down of Trump’s unconstitutionality as exists. Blistering, clear, unambiguous.
The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.
“WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO BECOME A WHOLE-ASS ADULT PERSON???”
The high school choir sang “For Good” and even thinking about it chokes me up a day later. I have duly chastised my friend the choir director for making me feel my feelings. He should know better.
See my reply above. Lil’ Denmark will be there in the blink of an eye.
Be warned, parents with young kids: the hours and days may be long sometimes, but at some point the years will have gone by in a heartbeat.
In Minnesota, “Up North” is anywhere north of the Twin Cities. Once you’re north of US Hwy 2, then you’re “Way Up North.”
Friends, it has been a big week in the BigRev household. RevSpawn the First graduated and took home a LOT of honors. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover ALL THE FEELS.
Just how many cigarettes do you figure Ben Mendelssohn smokes in a day?
I hear you, but I also wouldn’t wish those folks on our Orthodox friends. They can join all the weirdos in the Christian Nationalist Non-Denoms.
