Tonight’s Smackdown answered one of the most pressing cultural questions of our time, when will roman reigns finally yeet?

Could I train for the many miles between a 5k and full marathon in one year? Yes. Could I do so and keep my performance-based job? No.

[Shannon Sweeney 📺 @sweeney_tx]

“Anyone can run a marathon” people forget that not everyone has ample leisure time year-round

Loving Doctor Odyssey to death out here!

Not convinced Bezos cares the slightest bit about WaPo cancellations or the whole paper going under.

Performative cancellations for the stated reason of pressuring change… not sure it works like that.

@frittersandclam After 1.5yrs using a digital system and feeling soooo disorganized I’m back onto analog! I need to flip through the calendar! Otherwise time doesn’t compute.

Regret to inform everyone that using a planner for three days has improved my life already.

For context I used to work directly on the other side of town lake and our shifts would end at 12am-1am, sending us into traffic hell for these types of things

It’s a good day to no longer live in Austin

If your friends have no hobbies and aspire to go home and “rot in bed” then maybe you just need more interesting friends

[Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura @arnesa_kustura]

There’s been such a massive shift in the way that we behave, our interests, our hobbies, and how we spend our time that it is genuinely a bit scary. I mean, 20 years ago if someone just stayed home all the time, had no friends, no interests, no hobbies they were considered weird.

@chelseariffic Must have been a damn good taco to remember it 12 years later!

I love to watch the season long murder procedural and pretend to be shocked, three episodes in, when the main character makes the realization I did in minute 25. Presumed Innocent is pretty good though.

NO ONE TOLD ME THE TV GLOW MOVIE WAS ABOUT BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

Zotero and Word are open and I’m outlining my first diss chapter, you know what that means! (I’m disappearing into the woods for five days to forget about this mess)

Jeff Dunham performed at my elementary school

Teaching evaluations are wild because male professors are like, “I don’t think they dug my 90s jokes” and female professors are like “they ridiculed my voice, clothes, qualifications, and smile”

100% totally living for Criminal Minds: Evolution in a way the original show never did for me.

It’s almost as though finally focusing on the interpersonal relationships among the team makes the melodrama stronger 😶😶😶

Just give me a full workplace soap let’s be real

Y’all would be dragging her EVEN MORE if she didn’t acknowledge her outsider status. Rightly so.

People who don’t understand this and are needlessly slandering autoethnography as illegitimate re: raygun - whether or not her actual scholarship or dancing was good quality - will be blocked. I’m tired.

1/ This is the most persistent myth of academia I have encountered in my career: there is no disinterested position from which to objectively study/teach history, culture, etc. You have to be white to believe this. The medieval university we inherited was political & still is.

Seeing Noah Lyles collapse at a sporting event because of known COVID after myself collapsing at a sporting event because of unknown COVID… I have the firsthand experience to say definitively that he is so fucking dumb
