I have a Masters in Latin Lit and still have trouble keeping track!
this footage is so scary!
The amount of words whose definitions I look up on the regular is very high
I was right, FOR THE RECORD please put that in my record !!!!
I'm a professional writer by which I mean I just googled "i.e. meaning"
i think the weirdest thing for me to get behind on TNG is the idea of a spaceship with wall to wall carpet
Hang this in the Louvre
Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.
University of Texas beats South Carolina for the second time this season. The Longhorns are the SEC tournament champions!!!!
HOOK EM
If you think Iβm handling this well because UT has led by so much for so much of this game, you do not know me! I am a mess!!!
UT 57 - 44 SC with a quarter to go in the SEC final
The course met technical specifications when it was tested during the 2023 winter season for Para snowboard. During that event, the start had to be moved halfway down the course due to limited snow and no further events were held despite requests, per FIS. No additional full preβGames testing took place, per the governing body.
The Paralympics snowboard cross event has been a disaster. Last minute changes had to be made to the course due to a spate of injuries during training sessions. This detail floored me: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...
UT 45 - 28 SC at half with Booker on the bench for most of that second quarter.
I see that Jody Conradt is sitting back behind the Longhorn bench
UT up 27-12 over South Carolina at end of 1st quarter of the SEC final (HOLY SHIT)
Uhm, HOOK EM

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa Stateβs Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...
F1 is going to be a rollercoaster this season.
Booker now has 29 points. UT up 78-68 with 2 minutes left.
Sports are doing a lot tonight. This Austin FC match is wild; too much to even try to explain and still a half to go. UT let a 16pt lead become a 2pt lead, but now back up by 8 (Booker with a double double). And thereβs still the first Grand Prix of the season to go!
Wrote about that Kansas mess
if the chatbots have a problem with me saying they are βnot consciousβ and βdesigned by losers who donβt know how to interact with normal peopleβ then they can find me in person and tell me to my face. otherwise i will not be entertaining βis claude consciousβ

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.
so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm
Boy are you the Aston Martin AMR26? Because you're getting on my nerves and no amount of money is going to save you
