    When the nation's "House of Prayer for All People" - which has tried to remain fairly apolitical amidst taking flak from the left for hosting the traditional Inauguration Day presidential prayer service for Trump, from the right for Pride Month events and an interfaith Muslim prayer service, and everything inbetween - issues a statement decrying the president's remarks and general decency, you know it's a weighty statement. https://cathedral.org/press-room/have-we-no-decency-a-response-to-president-trump/

    PBS' annual Capitol Fourth nonpartisan special is happening independently of the Trump event and has been planned for months, although Trump's team is claiming it as part of their other events (parade, Blue Angels, etc.).

    Just out of view in that video from above is the sallyport and the spot where the FPS vehicles park - my guess was that the federal officers got out of their vehicles or ran out of sallyport and opened fire from there. https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7786306,-96.8015454,3a,75y,348.09h,91.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0aiw7Dcogu76KPV3gG97rQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

    Watch the video posted on page one of the thread. Fox saw the guy, took photo, ducked and then federal agents further down the block opened fire almost immediately. The total elapsed time was probably roughly 60 seconds between gunman's arrival and when the gunman collapsed.

    DMN photojournalist Tom Fox had just gotten to courthouse and was about to go inside to cover a trial when he saw this guy get out of a car with weapons, and ducked behind the wall as seen in video above. He leaned out, shot a few frames and ducked back again. He's lucky to be alive - but damn, what a photo. I'd be surprised if it doesn't win the Pulitzer for spot news photography. Interview quotes from him in this reporter's feed: https://twitter.com/MeaganMHarris

    The Mount Vernon Optic-Herald newspaper website has deleted its story about Briles' hire. It's still listed on the homepage when you view cached version, but the story no longer exists. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ARRfaER57VAJ:https://www.mt-vernon.com/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

    The magnificent Cavaille-Coll pipe organ dating to 1868 is probably gone as well, only six years after a total restoration. Listen to this beauty, and weep. "The theology behind the Alternatim is so spine-tingling: the Te Deum is supposed to unite the two choirs of Heaven and Earth in prasing God. So the choir here is only singing half the verses while they leave the choirs of angels and saints in Heaven to sing the alternate verses (while the organ roars out its accompaniment to them)."

    Not necessarily true anymore. New, much-improved facility, a lot more money (and attention) invested in the program from the AD/school admin perspective, and renewed fan support/interest after Dixon's three years at the helm. They're far from blueblood status, but they're not a cellar dweller anymore either. Middle tier at this point.

    I found this episode really enlightening - discussing the roles of the women in Trump’s life and how they shaped him/were shaped by him. Spoiler: He’s got both mommy and grandmother issues. I feel like I understand the guy better, but that’s not reassuring in any way - in fact, quite the opposite. https://crooked.com/podcast/sugar-were-cohen-down-with-nina-burleigh/

    It actually has already. May I introduce to you the “Real News Now” update, with Lara Trump.

    OSU @ TCU

    sasquatch69 replied to Go Pokes's topic in Football

    TCU’s third-string QB, in his first-ever start, just nailed a slant TD to give the Frogs some life at the end of the half. Pokes look terribad.

    He was kicked off the team.

    Trivia: TCU head coach Jim Pittman died on the sideline during a game vs. Baylor in 1971. https://www.nytimes.com/1971/10/31/archives/stricken-at-game-tcu-coach-dies-pittman-coach-at-tcu-dead.html

    Stadium looks like it’s finally filling now. Stupid Thursday night games.

    Yup. It would take a LOT for him to leave at this point - more than is probably realistic (it ain't just about the money). He's also pushing 60.

    Seeing a lot of chatter about this on Twitter tonight. Hope it’s wrong, but she hasn’t been in great health for a while. https://www.google.com/amp/s/consequenceofsound.net/2018/08/aretha-franklin-ill-report/amp/

    OP should listen to this episode of This American Life, in the hopes it will help him understand why diversity programs are important. It's not just about recruiting - it's about helping kids from diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed once they get to college, instead of falling through the cracks and dropping out due to being in an environment that feels foreign and lack of a support system, among other reasons. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/550/three-miles And don't give me any "they just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and work harder" bullshit. It's so much more complex and nuanced than that.

    Gordo's 8:40 bit was "Man Trying To Have a Period".
