Adrian Autry fired after three seasons as Syracuse resets failed Boeheim succession Syracuse has fired Adrian Autry after three seasons, ending a rocky start to the program's post-Jim Boeheim era and leaving the Orange searching for a new direction.

Pondering what would lead to protests at/near churches. Could it be the coverup of sexual abuses? Again with lawmakers trying to protect that.

That may be what you show to vote, but the SAVE Act will also force all of us to re-register to vote and do so in person. And to re-register, you must have a passport or official copy of your birth certificate. If your name doesn't match your birth certificate you will need additional paperwork.

Iditarod Expedition Musher – Explained

Thanks @alynnidalar.bsky.social !

There is now an explainer for the Expedition musher "rules".

They're hardly doing anything comparable, at least in terms of the dogs. Thankfully.
