... Y'know, I think it may not be possible to concoct a scenario so absolutely congruent with a Darwin Award.

That's not a university, it's an academy.  A training school.

It's legalized warfare against other classes, starting with women. 😕

One o'clock in the morning,
People piling in through the door.
Drinks are still coming and I'm barely humming
And the audience is screaming for more.

Somebody's locked in the bathroom,
Manager can't find the key.
I'd pity that man but from where I stand,
It's looking like a prisoner is me.
 
So won't you kick it in now second wind
We got two more hours to go.
Losing any more hope of scoring any more coke,
And we've still got to do another show.

My mind started to wander,
In the middle of the second song
Dreaming I was at sea, just my baby and me
When the words started coming out wrong.
 
Waitresses are picking up glasses,
The bartender screamed last call.
When I looked to my right I saw a terrible sight
And the bass man took a bad fall.
 
So won't you kick it in now second wind
We got two more hours to go.
Losing any more hope of scoring any more coke,
And we've still got to do another show.
 
Three o'clock in the morning,
Running on adrenalin.
What I'm trying to say is that tomorrow's the day
And we've got to do it over again.
 
So won't you kick it in now second wind
We got two more hours to go.
Losing any more hope of scoring any more coke,
And we've still got to do another show.
We've got to do another show

Keep the fire burnin'
Let it keep us warm
The world will keep on turnin'
Let it turn you on

Let us not stop learnin'
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin' all night long

You've been changing so much
I'm not sure you're in touch with what's real
You just come and you go
Never letting me know how you feel

And I'm livin' here in doubt
There's so much to talk about
I know that we can work it out

Keep the fire burnin'
Let it keep us warm
The world will keep on turnin'
Let it turn you on

Let us not stop learnin'
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin' all night long

We've been through this enough
It gets rough but there's nowhere to run
This is where we belong
We are strong, we can never give up

If we wanted to we could
But we've always understood
To keep lookin' for the good

Magnus Cort Neilsen wins stage 19 of the Vuelta
 
Britain has reached its Paralympics medal target of between 100-140 medals with 111 in total

The gap between the best of FCS and the low end of FBS is pretty small.  Article points out, this is the 4th time in 10 years that EWU's done this.

And it won't be the second, it'd be the third.  UC Davis beat Tulsa.  It turns out, this is really not newsworthy...which surprises me a bunch, too.  But:

Forget 2020;  the matchups barely happened and nothing was normal.  But 2019's 3 cases were the aberration;  there've generally been a LOT more every year, for the last decade.
 
I'd guess that the strong favorite would be at least one of those games will see the FCS school winning.

Mildly offensive.
 
 

Hmm, high school juniors with rockets. What could go wrong?

Wow.  Starting in January, All American Astronomical Society Journals will be full Open Access
 
No one thinks that there'll be as great a demand for all the papers in those journals, but as the spectacular example, the open-access Astrophysical Journal Letters 2019 paper with the famous shadow of the black hole in M87 image (here) has been downloaded more than a third of a million times.

No, that was Dolly Parton, not ABBA.

... and another quarter of a cubic yard of blackberry brambles have been hacked out of my yard.  (That's the limit of yard waste I can have carried away for free each week.)
 
======================================
 
Well, you know it's not me.  I'm not on FB.

I've been reminded that abusive husbands and boyfriends will absolutely have their GFs/wives investigated/attacked for having a miscarriage (a 'suspected abortion'), so they can net a 10k reward check.
 
We are going to see violence/behavior against women that will make Russia look friendly.

One day, Albert Einstein has to speak at an important science conference.
 
On the way there, he tells his driver, "I'm sick of all these conferences. I always say the same things over and over!"
 
The driver, who looks a bit like him agrees. "You're right. As your driver, I attended all of them, and even though I don't know anything about science, I could give the conference in your place."
 
"That's a great idea!" says Einstein. "Let's switch places then!"
 
So they switch clothes and as soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it.
 
But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won't be able to respond. So this guy stands up and interrupts the conference by posing his very difficult question. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the response.
 
The driver looks at him, dead in the eye, and says, "Sir, your question is so easy to answer that I'm going to let my driver reply to it for me."

Marvel's REALLY getting out of control with their Spiderverse...

Rampage

This is really the issue. The O-line did okay in the preseason, largely against 2s and 3s. How they perform against NFL starters, even if it is the Giants, will be telling.
 
 
The Saints have three quarterbacks and Taysom Hill on their roster. Quibble, quibble. 

Pole Position  ((since we've seen Ms Pac-Man already))
