The thing about old movies is sometimes you’ll be watching a comedy about some showgirls tricking old men out of their money and then in the middle of it they drop one of the most breathtaking musical sequences ever committed to film.

I know they’re both probably run by algorithms but explain to me why my hometown FM classic rock station can play 10 straight absolute bangers and Spotify, which already knows which songs and artists I like, can’t do it.

Honestly? Living in Alabama.

When you live between Selma and Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, it is fairly impossible to fall into the "this is the worst it has ever been and it can't get better" pit.

It was way worse for people here, in living memory, and they didn't shrug & give up. So I can't either.

Jordan-Hare Stadium is a portal to Hell Mock it, doubt it, dismiss it. The Portal to Hell will open all the same.

I honestly became friends with @mattscalici.bsky.social at our mutual pals’ tailgate before multiple iron bowls, & I love the memories so much, bc it became our running joke of β€œif Matt’s in AU covering the IB, we are def gonna win.” πŸ˜‚

This is perfect. WAR DAMN SCAMLICI!🫢 www.al.com/ironbowl/202...
