@USAFencing Legit question for those making the argument that the transgender fencer has such a physical advantage: how did she finish 24th out of 38 fencers? By your logic, shouldn't she have dominated the event?

@sullymygoodname I've got a plan make all parties happy. Remember in Seinfeld when Elaine promoted the crazy guy because she was afraid to fire him? Problem solved!

Me: I feel a little better now.
Jess: Shut up. I want a divorce. It was a good ten years.

@ProfGawain Here's me making a ton of amateur mistakes (not leading with my hand, etc.), but I do score a pretty sweet counterattack on the fourth point (lost this bout 5-1).

[Chad Turner @ChadTurnerFSU]

Had a great weekend competing for the first time ever. Not great results, but I had fun, got some great experience, and learned a lot. Note: if you want to feel old, fence in an event where the second-oldest fencer is a solid two decades younger than you.

UD FLYERS!!!!!
Unreal. Down 18 with 7 to play. Couldn’t buy a basket-finished on a 25-4 run to come back and win it!
Dayton hoops has such great history and an incredibly loyal fan base. Congrats to the Flyers and their fans on that shocking comeback. @DaytonMBB

[Chad Turner @ChadTurnerFSU]

Gooooooooo Dayton Flyers!!!!!!!!!!

@DavidPJablonski Dayton 73-66. On my couch in Culver, Indiana with pulled pork nachos and beer

[Chad Turner @ChadTurnerFSU]

@sullymygoodname And watch them make it out if the first weekend.

@DavidPJablonski Dayton, 73-59. A Mt. Rushmore of UD Twitter personalities.

@thedrjerry @KKriegeBlog @MCMCCLUSKEY @DWFrauenfelder True; quite a few PhDs on staff at my independent school. I think it helps at schools like this, both in getting hired and my starting salary. Also, I think done college teaching experience (even as adjunct) appeals at college prep schools.

Does each couple have one person who can sleep on any kind of pillow placed in any position and one person who needs the correct number and type in the perfect configuration in order to sleep, or is it just Jess and I?

[Chad Turner @ChadTurnerFSU]

@GhostMcHistory 2001 (I think), sitting in the next to last row and watching a game against Miami where Dayton was up like 20-8 at the half. Final was 60-something to 20-something.

@KirkHerbstreit One thing that anyone could agree on: Bill's Donuts in Centerville has the best donuts.

Being in your forties means having a favorite type of Christmas tree (fraser fir, btw) which you strongly feel is superior to all others and is the only kind you will buy.

[Chad Turner @ChadTurnerFSU]

@GrantKelly07 There are PI calls that I think are terrible but I can usually at least see something minor that they chose to call. There is absolutely nothing on that play at all.

How long until we just have AI officiating games?
