Ass Backwards Podcast

One man watches a franchise in reverse order; the other doesn't watch it at all. Mike Harris & Brad Rogers prove the best place to begin is the end.

@DBGyt_ CC: 7th in scoring. 1st in assists. Role player. KM: 3rd in scoring. Couldn’t get an assist at a shoot around with Steph Curry. Franchise player.

Rocovich, perhaps the most successful and beloved Rector in Va Tech history produced a blistering response letter on the sheer absurdity of Spanberger firing him as Rector. It is an amazing read exposing her hypocrisy.

The world's greatest botanist died of starvation in a Soviet prison.

His crime: refusing to say plants worked the way Stalin needed them to. 🧵

The Siege of Leningrad lasted 872 days without supply lines. Hundreds of thousands of people starved.

The Vavilov Institute sat in the middle of it.

Inside: seeds. Outside: starvation.

The scientists who worked there chose to die rather than eat the collection. Dmitry Ivanov starved to death surrounded by bags of rice. Alexander Stchukin died at his desk next to peanuts he never touched.

They understood that what they were protecting wasn't a museum. It was the future.

Soviet secret police arrested Vavilov in August 1940, during a botanical expedition in Ukraine.

The charges: espionage, sabotage, leading an "anti-Soviet" scientific organization.

In interrogation, he was asked to confess that genetics was a capitalist conspiracy. He refused.

"We shall go to the pyre, we shall burn, but we shall not retreat from our convictions."

He was sentenced to death. The sentence was later commuted to twenty years of labor camp. He died of starvation in a Saratov prison on January 26, 1943.

This is what happens when political authority supersedes scientific inquiry.

As a testament to Borlaug's humility, there's a story that he drove his car to work at Texas A&M's Borlaug Center on a Aggie home game Saturday. A parking officer told the Nobel Prize winner he wasn't permitted to park the building named in his honor, and he quietly complied.

There was a time when common sense existed in that room.

🔴 1978 Oscars:
Vanessa Redgrave used her acceptance speech to attack "Zionist hoodlums”.

Minutes later, Paddy Chayefsky, WWII veteran wounded at the Battle of the Bulge, takes the stage after winning for Network.

👉 His message: “The Oscars are not a platform for antisemitic political propaganda”.

@notjessewalker In his defense, his imitation of your speaking voice is pitch perfect. Assuming you were a 67 IQ Edwardian with a case of Hapsburg jaw.

Every sports piece during the last 48 hours: “Someone did something good. But then they did something that upset me, a political obsessive. And that complicates things. My story.”
