United Methodist Church to split in two
Well the United was placed in the name to acknowledge the United Brethren that Methodists had merged with, so it makes sense to keep it because presumably some of the Brethern line will be staying with them.

Feds investigate swarms of 6' night drones flying in formation over Nebraska/Colo. (Jade Fumblerooski?)
Most of the active silos are a little north of the droned area so far, have to get up towards Scottsbluff. It’s a experience to meet an Air Force convoy going through that area.

Liberty Bowl; K-State vs. Navy (2:45 p.m. ESPN)
Games going to be about 2 hours long, with maybe 15 combined passes. Should be fun.

Share your Christmas traditions
I’ve gotten up early to go back early to take my Grandma to Christmas morning services every year since my Grandpa passed in 2009 so she has someone to go with since I live the closest relatively speaking.

Official 2019 bitch about family/holiday drama thread
That’s probably on the table here at some point. The current theory is that she’s squatting in her uncle’s house while he’s a guest of the state for bit. I think the upshot is that he legally adopted the older girl, so the kids can stay together with him instead of sending the older one into the system

Official 2019 bitch about family/holiday drama thread
Did find out why my nephews new wife wasn’t at the first Christmas this weekend, apparently she went on a full bender, tried to choke her 3 year old out, cleaned out their checking account, while he now has a full restraining order against her, although no one is sure where she now is, while he starts divorce proceedings.

I've seen Star Wars Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker Reddit Spoilers Proven True or Not
Finally saw it this afternoon. Was it fun enough in the theatre? Sure. Did I stay through the whole credits just far the music? Yes. Am I interested in ever seeing another JJ Abrams movie again? Not really. I think at the end of the day, there wasn’t enough new stuff brought into the sequel trilogy to go anywhere interesting, be it depth to new characters or growth from old ones, or any sort of sensible consistency to the rules of the galaxy that it took place in. But it was fun enough to see on the big screen once

Todd Dodge's Westlake team tonight
I will point out that teams often appear to play smarter and with more fundamentals when they have an edge in physical talent. Conversely, you fundamental all you want and still look dumb as shit when outgunned physically. Probably don’t want to draw coaching conclusions from either situation

2020 Coaching Staff
Why demote Tim Beck to hire Tim Beck with a different name, and without the same defense and special teams structure to surround him?

Barney Cotton just had a new heart installed so he should be good to go.

North Dakota county to vote on whether to stop accepting refugees
Pastor Olson likes to remind us that if you object to refugees that you haven’t been paying very close attention to what Lutherans like to do when you’ve been showing up on Sunday’s.

Knives Out. Ensemble of pretty much all the great actors/actresses
I enjoyed it thoroughly especially the Gravity’s Rainbow joke. I was probably predisposed to like it because I was raised by a mom who loves mystery novels and Murder She Wrote, and it rubbed off on me

Chris Petersen stepping down at Washington
I think we are starting to see a swing back to coaches quitting earlier and going into adminstration like they used to do in the 70's and 80's on a more frequent basis. All the guys that have been HC's since their 30's are probably getting good and sick of this shit, and don't need the money

Theft in California is a misdemeanor
Someone typed California and crime into a search and then emailed the first hit that they hadn’t emailed already

NCAA to Allow Players to be Compensated for their Names, Likenesses, and Images
I enjoy all the handwring about kids getting a sudden influx of cash and what they might do with it, yet the same collegiate system doesn’t seem to worry what kids might do if we loaned them a big chunk of cash instead.

NCAA to Allow Players to be Compensated for their Names, Likenesses, and Images
No shit, I'm asking if it makes any sort of sense to keep going that way.
-
NCAA to Allow Players to be Compensated for their Names, Likenesses, and Images
Doesn't mean those 80,000 people showing up to watch are doing the school any good. Is there a good fucking reason to expect a bunch of state owned entities to be in the entertainment business? At some point, wouldn't it make sense to let schools be schools, and the sports entertainment business be the sports entertainment business.
-
NCAA to Allow Players to be Compensated for their Names, Likenesses, and Images
Well at a certain point, you probably have to ask how athletic departments are serving the interests of providing educational and research opportunities for students.

I hope this ends up like the Boxers in Thailand that fully adopt corporate names like CP Freshmart, etc.

Jimmy Carter [RIP 12-29-24]
At that this point, who gives a shit how good of a President he was? He clearly among the best of a class in being a damn good human being.
