Your first instinct is gonna be to blame this on the It's Always Sunny gang but you're forgetting that Melissa Schemmenti's throwing a Halloween party on Saturday and she knows a guy who can stock her seafood tower.
Six men stole 3,000 pounds of frozen snow crab from a tractor-trailer while the driver was asleep in the front of the truck in Southwest Philadelphia Tuesday morning.

for those of you unfamiliar, the most powerful social unit in Cincinnati is your high school class, which outranks friends, family, even lovers
Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

the NBA is full of the biggest and most athletic men imaginable, to the point that almost everyone in the league who is only 6 feet tall has to be an absolute freak of nature who can jump out of the gym just to survive now imagine how freakish you have to be to have a 14 year career at 5’3”
The Charlotte Hornets on Feb. 11 are retiring the No. 1 jersey of Muggsy Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history at 5-foot-3. Bogues spent 10 of his 14 NBA seasons in Charlotte (1988-1998) and is the franchise leader in assists, steals and minutes.
Liberating this meditation on “poasting”from the replies 🤣 . I am much much less of one than I was in my late 20s. 2010-2016, my dark glory days
I also think of it as separating posting on social media as an action, and posting as a vocation (poasting). Love of the game and all that. Posting through all emotions or situations

He was so talented, to have the sweetie Pavel Chekov and the devil Alfred Bester in the same career. Second star to the right and straight on until morning. 💔
My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

As I've said before, it's only once I became a professor that I realized the entmoot, a meeting that goes on for three days and three nights, was a professor's joke about faculty meetings.
The Lord of the Rings is essentially a series of faculty meetings broken up by several long walks in the countryside.
One! I could use Bill Clinton whom I met briefly once, but I would much rather use Rush Holt, my long time NJ congressman whose campaign I interned for twice as a teenager. Rush is a much better guy. My favorite memory is updating his computer while he did phone interviews.
To flip some discourse script for a bit: what’s y’all’s Obama number (ie degrees of separation with the former president)? Mine is 3

I read a great in depth piece from NJ dot com about Porta Potty companies, and I agree with the comment of one of them that it would make a great show. I would watch the hell out of that.
There are so many heroes we know next to nothing about. There are so many people fighting and pushing and making things better. I want to spend more time with them in my head instead of being told to giggle at some fucking criminal because cRiNgE Hum0r or something.

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao www.theverge.com/policy/10167...

No, Freedom Summer volunteers didn't take selfies or post tweets -- because that technology hadn't been invented yet. But when they were getting trained in Ohio before going down, they were *all over* the media of their day. Here's a paragraph on it (since cut from my book for space constraints)
"The Jews who went to Mississippi didn't take selfies and post tweets." Okay, but honestly, if tweets had been a thing in 1961, many of them probably would have done.

many people somehow do not realize that cattle can and will fuck you up (whether you are a bear or a human), especially if they think you’re trying to mess with their calves.
This reminds me of that scene in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron with the puma attack. Except this was a whole herd of cattle bullying one bear when it tried to go after a calf. (Photos by Wayne Ray)
