@Daojoan A few of these will be a legit heavy lift for me.

"Is this the guy, Franky?"

"Y-yeah...he's the one, Knuckles..."

@UROCKlive1 The ironic names they give their organizations are always a dead giveaway.

I'm really glad the #Broncos outlasted the #Vikings but Josh Dobbs is something to see. He has rubber calves and suction cups for feet, and I feel like that's against the rules, NFL. #SNF

@jaredwhite This sounds right...

In college, I took a class called The Letters of Paul. I took it for two very good reasons:

1. I was (and am) named Paul.
2. The prof, Cal Roetzel, was (and is) cool.

I didn’t figure it was an especially practical course. It was for fun, for the challenge, for the cultural knowledge, for the pleasure of doing it.

First ever drawings of the moon made by Galileo Galilei after observing it through his telescope in 1609.

Galileo produced this extremely famous set of six watercolours of the Moon in its various phases "from life", as he observed the Earth's satellite through a telescope in the autumn of 1609. They represent the first realistic depiction of the Moon in history.

The #Bills are just not consistently good. But it turns out the #Broncos are...less consistently...not...good. #MNF

(If the Bronco offense were a Mastodon post, this would be it.)

I can't really tell which team is trying harder to lose this game, the #Bills or the #Broncos. #MNF ugly football.

Payton might be starting to outthink himself...#Broncos #MNF

Ok #Broncos play a 60 minute game please. #MNF

#Broncos O line HAS to reduce the penalties. #MNF

The crowd knows, even if Troy and Joe won't admit it. #MNF #Broncos

Yes as the replay shows Ed Oliver's missed tackle, please #MNF booth, tell us about his fat contract extension and what a big season he's having 🙄 #Broncos

The Bills fan service from the #MNF booth tonight is going to be pretty saccharine. #Broncos

A guy can get called for a false start and Aikman and Buck talk about what a great player he's been. 🙄 #MNF

I'm loving all the #Broncos #MNF love on #Mastodon

Almost 38 years ago, Carl Sagan warned the U.S government and the world about the effect of climate change.

The only one at the hearing that day who seemed to pay any attention was Al Gore.
