Re. #USWNT and #WWC: * in 4 games USWNT had 85 shots, 28 on target, yet only 4 goals * opponents 20, 2, and 1. Still can’t figure out how impotent we were.


At the dinner table tonight, my boys (15, 15, 12) got in an argument about which nations Pulisic would not even make the WC squad. I need some expert input. Please help. @stuholden @AlexiLalas @JimmyConrad @YanksAreComing @FOXSoccer et al.

A philosophy thread that folks I know in OT and Biblical studies might be interested in.

My philosophy of language class covered speech act theory last week & we opened the discussion with Genesis 1:3. What's your theory on why a deity would *speak* things into existence instead of simply willing/thinking them into existence?



Hey #SBLAAR22 and other conference presenters. Normal speaking speed is 150 WPM. You know how much time you've been allotted for your paper. Plan, write, edit, and cut accordingly. Good luck this week!


What was more surprising yesterday?

First a World Cup in Qatar in November. Then those god-awful kits. And now a #USMNT team that looks all out of sorts. Not feeling great about #WorldCup2022.


I know I’m a homer, but does this seem right? I don’t feel like Puli deserves such a low ranking. apple.news/AoCIXAqZrSCa7N…

OMG In the Penguin Random House/S&S antitrust trial it was revealed that out of 58,000 trade titles published per year, half of those titles sell fewer than one dozen books. LESS THAN ONE DOZEN.
