Humiliating things that can happen in Pilates class:

1. Falling off the machine
2. Being outed as a podcaster

One of them happened to me today.

I saw a pumpkin tiramisu recipe today and I’m very intrigued by it…
Would love a ruling on whether not turning the oven on can still qualify as baking but I’m throwing a pumpkin tiramisu on the menu this year that I’m excited about.
Help me decide what to bake for Thanksgiving! Allegedly my family has “zero preferences”

LMAO
BTW your tweets made it to the Pitt 247 board!! LMAO they are mad.

If coaches want to curl up and cry against Notre Dame because they are uncompetitive babies then I think that says more about them than Notre Dame.

Also, to anyone with eyes, Pitt very clearly was doing everything they could to win this game. They just weren’t good enough.
Yes, ND that much better than Pitt, and Pitt is probably worse than their record, but I worry about that sentiment spreading.

It’s very obvious how many people do not pay any attention to Pitt or Narduzzi and know these basic facts. He DEFINITELY wants to beat Notre Dame and also steps in it constantly.
As a Pitt fan, Duzz is NOT a fan of ND. He definitely wanted to beat them. Anyone thinking otherwise is being silly.

Most of his comments last week were likely tongue in cheek. He has a habit of saying dumb shit sometimes. Pitt's defense played like I thought, Pitt O was much worse. ND beat our ass

Pitt’s star running back said he sat out an extra week to make sure he was healthy for the Notre Dame game. You cannot honestly believe Pitt/Narduzzi didn’t want to beat Notre Dame on Saturday. It was their biggest home game in years.
I do think there is going to be legitimate discourse about coaches like Narduzzi saying games against ND are irrelevant when they are angling for a conference title & then going out and playing like it. If no team playing against ND is taking the games seriously then there’s going to be issues.

Playoff discourse on Twitter has truly jumped the shark when Chuck Todd??? is accusing the Navy of throwing a game against Notre Dame because they’re not in the American Conference

So true, he didn’t care if they won today anyways
Today "wasn't a must win" so that TD was "building momentum" for the next two weeks

Holy Pat Narduzzi is the biggest loser on the planet 😂😂😂😂

One of the funniest/worst roughing the passer calls in garbage time while me and 3000 other Notre dame fans watch in an otherwise empty acrisure stadium

99% of complaints coming from the big ten whether from the admin side or coaching side are about things that the big ten voluntarily decided on. No one l forced you to have 18 members! But now that you do you probably do need to talk them all.
when it comes to selling an equity stake in future big ten tv media revenue (and everything else)...yeah, I think you actually do need to talk to all the board members? Or at least somebody does. That's how shared governance works for huge-ass deals

Basically
@jessicasmetana.bsky.social I went and watched the entire season (so far) of The Chair Company last night just based on your conversation with @darthamin.bsky.social. Then I got to that last scene of the most recent episode... What the actual fuck?

I watched the first episode and liked it! One thing I do not like is Vince Gilligan without a mustache. Unrecognizable.

The Chair Company might be my favorite show
