"A treeless, desolate waste of uninhabitable solitude, which has always been and must continue uninhabited forever.” -General Randolph Marcy, describing where I grew up.

That Mississippi State team was awful, but it's remarkable to watch this and see how confident, decisive, and free Arch was playing back then.

Find a better deep middle throw in college football this season than this one from Arch Manning to Ryan Wingo. You probably can't.

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day: Almost 50% of the population of the Texas Panhandle lives within the Amarillo city limits. I just did the math. Using the latest figures, the population of Amarillo is 205,130. The population of the 26 counties comprising the Texas Panhandle is 427, 927. That works out to 47.9%. However, if you include the entire Amarillo metropolitan area, rather than just the city itself, the proportion rises to approximately 60% of the Panhandle's population.

I don't care that the pocket was collapsing and pressure was right in your face... You gotta make that throw, Arch... 😬

Yes, families should look out for the single people in their life and find ways to celebrate them.
This is poorly phrased, imo, but it gets at something real A challenge of prolonged singleness is that your life lacks a natural rhythm that encourages people you care about to celebrate your life with you. No weddings, anniversaries, child birthdays, etc

We have finally created the Hunter Robot that Murders People from the classic sci fi novel "Don't Create the Hunter Robot That Murders People"
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Out of touch liberal elites don’t understand that for the average American the Cheesecake Factory is the nicest place they can imagine. For these people, sweatpants are like tuxedos. They think of Tweety Bird as a kind of God. Don’t you dare condescend to them.

• 14 penalties for 121 yards • 3 turnovers, one going for an immediate seven points • 3–13 on third downs • Lost starting left tackle • Lost starting wide receiver ... and still somehow defeated the No. 7 team in the country. If this team can ever figure out how to play a consistent, disciplined four quarters, they truly could make a lot of noise in the CFB world. Big if, however.

Please tell me more about America’s “lack of a strong national musical tradition,” Mr. Fukuyama.
Francis Fukuyama: "The lack of a strong national musical tradition contributes to the weakness of American national identity."
