Yeah, that's a long-standing thing in American football. Baseball too. Fellowship of Christian Athletes organization goes back a long way. So many post-game interviews start w/ player or coach thanking god or Jesus.

Maybe now we can see how dumb most recall elections are. They should only be used in cases of criminal behavior or negligence (not showing up to work).

But to do it because you disagree w/ policy decisions or stances...it's electoral representative government. Deal with it in the next election

Yes, I did. I mean, I'd heard of it, but maybe a year or so before The Watchmen. Likely via Twitter.

And I went to a progressive suburban school district, which in general prepared me well. And I took honors American history.

But this never came up.

There will be a decade's worth of nominations this year. How to even decide what's the most worthy of the Duke.

There's a Danish poem about November...you can probably get the point w/out feeding it to the translation machine:
Året har 16 måneder: November
december, januar, februar, marts, april
maj, juni, juli, august, september
oktober, november, november, november, november.”

The year has 16 months...

The bridge/middle eight of About a Girl sounds like it could have been from any Help, Revolver or Rubber Soul era song.

I was as Gen X 120 Minutes & college radio coded as could be, and I loved the Beatles.

Should be noted that Frederiksen has become unpopular for lots of other reasons, including the mink cull, not listening to people...she installed a former minister as SF candidate for mayor not giving the municipal party a chance to put up their own person. She's an awful party leader & needs to go
November 20, 2025 at 7:23 PM
The funny thing about the "far left" party (I voted for them) that took over is that their positions are more or less where the Social Dems were before Frederiksen pushed the SDs rightward on some issues.

By Danish standards SF aren't really far left, they're the new home for non-centrist leftists

I've faved like half the record. It's so so good. I could listen to Katie Crutchfield sing for hours. In fact this afternoon I kind of have, as I went back to the last Waxahatchee record between listens to Snocaps.

Bummer that the vinyl doesn't ship until April
