Lol ESPN is such a joke now
ESPN notification reading: “Halftime: TB 10 - NE 7. Buccaneers lead the Patriots.” This is incorrect as the actual halftime score was NE 14 - TB 10.

Alex Bregman following up his opt-out news by posting genocide denial from a Nexstar-owned “news” source. But, you know, that Raffy Devers guy was just too much of a headache.
Screenshot from Alex Bregman’s Instagram story. Bregman has reshared a NewsNation video captioned “Vittert: Peace Deal Proves Pro-Palestine Protests Were ‘Never About Gaza’” and “We’re A Long Way Away from October 6th”

Tom Haverford (played by Aziz Ansari) in Parks & Recreation saying “It’s beautiful. I’ve looked at this for five hours now” (I’m posting this in reference to the Patriots being first in the AFC East)

My “We’re Back” Meter has literally never been higher this decade. LFG
A semi-popular meme of Ryan Gosling, as he appears in the brilliant and criminally underrated film The Nice Guys, with the text reading “The masculine urge to say “We’re back” 20 minutes after saying It’s over”.” The meme has been modified to add a New England Patriots cap on the top of Ryan Gosling’s head.

These photos span almost 10 years. The memories span over 15. The importance to me and to my family - especially my brother, who met his partner there! - will last forever.
Matt Bizer, at age 27, sits at a table smiling at his partner, who took this photo. In the foreground is her plate of yellowfin tuna in front of Matt’s pint of beer and plate with a fried oyster po boy sandwich. A raw oyster special served at the Matunuck Oyster Bar in 2021 A full table of oysters, calamari, and beer at the Matunuck Oyster Bar in 2018 Matt Bizer, at age 19 (visibly younger with no facial hair), sitting at the Matunuck Oyster Bar with a dish of raw oysters and a non-alcoholic mocktail. The restaurant is clearly smaller in capacity than it was in the present day.

I defended my PhD dissertation, "Tracing and Assessing Transformational Climate Adaptation over Time in Public Wastewater Infrastructure Systems" yesterday! My defense was a massive success and I am honored to have earned a PhD in civil & environmental engineering from the University of Connecticut!
Dr. Christine Kirchhoff introduces Matt Bizer at the beginning of his PhD defense. They are standing in front of a screen presenting the title slide of his dissertation presentation: "Tracing and Assessing Transformational Climate Adaptation over Time in Public Wastewater Infrastructure Systems." Matt Bizer presents his research questions to his dissertation committee and spectators. The research questions are "How do we assess performance and/or resilience of wastewater systems over time?" and "How does transformational adaptation develop (or not) in public wastewater systems?" Matt Bizer smiles in relief at the conclusion of his dissertation presentation. He is standing in front of a slide that reads "Questions? - Thank you for attending and following along" with a quote from Rebecca Solnit's Hope in the Dark: "The hope I'm interested in is about broad perspectives with specific possibilities, one that invite or demand that we act. [...] You could call it an account of complexities and uncertainties, with openings." The slide also contains a lengthy list of acknowledgements and references.
