I made a crossword

a more cursed option is that the latlongs have been truncated somehow

yeah, that's just the first thing i think of when i see "things very close to but not actually on Null Island"

has their actual latlong been divided by a constant factor

West Coast moment

Macbeth: SHIT

this is why america is the greatest country in the world

they have this for most of the actual events (it's the commentary feed Peacock and all the other countries' streaming services will use for the events that they don't send their own commentators for), im surprised they don't have it for the opening ceremony

there was a teacher in my middle school named Angst, which is a bit on the nose

just use like, any "youth"-coded slang term

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

connecticut makes its reality extremely well known whenever you try to travel across it, i fear

in american sports history, arguably

If you had given me a hundred guesses as to who the next first-time CFB champion would be since 1996 Florida, I think Indiana would have been my second-to-last pick of P4 teams.

In your stumbling platoons
Tell your wives how you ate shit on ice for quotas
Tell her how despite your guns
all you ever did was run
from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota!🎵

just wait until you hear about the etymology of the word "meander" (if you haven't already)

Mainers don't want to live in DC.

(This is slightly facetious but I think it's legitimately true for Troy Jackson, who IMO would be an excellent Senator)

that was the best non-catch ive ever seen in my life

You legally cannot defame the dead.

yup, a generally well-liked two term governor *who prominently stood up to Trump* should be winning this primary in her sleep and the fact that she isn't is a really strong sign of how dissatisfied voters are with their current D politicians

i am confident that the most important voting issue in the dem primaries will be "I will do everything in my power to put these fuckers in prison" and actual policy will be secondary. the only way this isn't true is if Rs are neutered so heavily after the midterms that people forget their anger

I've never seen that before, how has Oregon's clock operator managed that

what the hell lmao

I've been throwing around the idea of writing a guide to quizbowl writing *mechanics* for a while! Hopefully I'll actually get around to writing it in some form soon. I think a good way to approach it would probably be to use a bunch of illustrative examples of what not to do and how to fix them.

*that's* what CNC stands for in a machining context? i never thought about it tbh

to the tune of Corb Lund's "I Wanna Be in the Cavalry", obviously

Today I am once again making loads of new Bluesky friends by insisting on one of my most sincerely held beliefs that makes way too many people fucking furious: that teenagers are autonomous beings who are not their parents' property and who possess independent volition and interiority

TIL Nayib Bukele is Palestinian lmao

what the *hell* is that CTA map, lmao

idk, the ultraviolet catastrophe is pretty cool-sounding
