So, uh, Pope Leo, when did you first hear of R.E.M.?

I can only assume this is for RUTalkinREMreMe. Great get, Scott & Scott!

Lights, camera, action, pope? About three dozen Hollywood stars will meet Pope Leo this weekend, including actors Cate Blanchett, Chris Pine and Adam Scott, the Vatican said on Monday. For @reuters.com:

Could we not have pinned this one on the Bobcats?
an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

@joeovies.bsky.social What universe are we living in where Clemson fends off Indiana, then NC State holds their breath that Clemson doesn't go after their preferred head coach candidate?

Literally and figuratively far removed from Press Maravich leaving Clemson to be an assistant at NC State.

A heads up to the @sickoscommittee.org
This will officially be the coldest Colorado Rapids game and coldest outdoor pro Colorado sports event of all time! Possibly coldest game an MLS team has ever played in.

If Cade Klubnik finds out about this, expect him to play with a literal wooden cross strapped to his back next season.
Riley Leonard loves talking about his close personal friend Jesus and I have to imagine it drives a small but loud portion of the lifelong mass-attending Catholic Notre Dame fanbase absolutely nuts

This was a big difference between my kid's school in Asheville (stay in car pick up) versus their school in Boulder (find parking then stand around and wait). I only met one set of parents in NC. Know the parents better than the kids in Boulder. Big difference in school community.
Folks who’ve exclusively done school pickup by car may not know about the social aspect they miss in the car line.

Chatting with other parents while waiting for our kids allows me to get to know & build trust w/ my neighbors.

I know that happens at bus stops, too!

On this week's episode I come up with the idea of Spotify Life Wrapped where on one's death bed Spotify provides listeners with sharable social graphics on their lifetime favorite artists, songs, and genres.

@jasonkirk.fyi Reading the Watch Grid this week, made me feel it important to alert you to the existence of the Luther Bowl, an annual interseminary flag football tournament first held around 1965 on the campus of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg (i.e. literally on the battlefield).

@surber.bsky.social Gene Pate was a classmate in civil engineering. A walk on. Very atypical football player. In my mind he was also/primarily a long snapper?

That this headline did not include “Man with Ants in His Pants” is another sign of the failings of the Old Gray Lady.
The Peruvian authorities arrested a man trying to board a plane last week in Lima while carrying 320 tarantulas, 110 centipedes and nine bullet ants, according to the National Forest and Wildlife Service of Peru.
Man Hiding Tarantulas, Centipedes and Ants Is Stopped From Boarding Flight
Officials in Lima, Peru, said the endangered spiders had been taken from the Amazon basin. The man was flying to South Korea.
