25 years ago today: @DougFlutie, making his first @NFL start in nine years, scored a TD from the one-yard line, with 13 seconds left, leading @BuffaloBills to dramatic 17-16 win over @Jaguars! I was among the 77,635 “delirious” #Bills fans (as written by @leoroth/@DandC) … (1/2)

For the first time in nearly 50 years, Italy is celebrating October 4 as a national holiday honoring St. Francis of Assisi, its patron saint. The holiday was restored by Parliament under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government and took effect in 2026.

She's such a breath of fresh air. So good.
Sophie Cunningham tees off on WNBA players whining about fans. Watch this, it’s absolutely perfect. They should make her commissioner.

You can be a conservative and oppose the death penalty in modern America. If conservatism includes skepticism of bloated, fallible, and sometimes corrupt government power, there is a strong conservative case for refusing to give the state its most ultimate and irreversible power: executing a human life.

Don’t be mad at the people who no longer want to vote. Be mad at those in power that did such an awful job it made so many people no longer want to vote.

So many people with ‘Catholic’ in their bios going hard after the vicar of Christ today. We stand with Pope Leo XIV. nitter.cf/christopherhale/status…
Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

Fellow baseball fans: Do we really need “the box” on screen for *every* pitch? I say not. Show it only for close-pitch replays and challenges. @MLB @NBCSports @FOXSports

Having not watched much @MLB over past couple years, I confess: I really had never heard of @Cam31Schlittler. But that was quite the pitching performance and overall @Yankees win. Plus, might’ve been first game I watched start-to-finish in few years. Great call by @jasonbenetti.

I fully expected to post tonight about @MLB and networks not caring about the fans—while airing pablum and slop in prime time instead of playoffs. To my great surprise, @NBCSports has made the right call in airing @RedSox-@Yankees. Also good to see @realBobCostas back in the mix.

HILARIOUS: When #Bills quarterback Case Keenum went UNDERCOVER at training camp to see how many autographs he could get from his teammates without them recognizing him. 💀💀💀 One of the greatest football undercover videos ever.

You know how 10–30 years later you see old game highlights and almost cannot believe how ridiculous the team looked in their uniforms at the time and/or you hardly recognize them? That’s how it’ll be looking back a few decades from now at Sunday’s @BuffaloBills game. #BillsMafia

By the skin of their teeth. On the positive side: Only a good team wins a game where they had five turnovers (old @BuffaloBills never would’ve pulled it off). But for the love of God … please never again wear those uniforms! I blame the uni’s for the terrible play. #BillsMafia

I think the main reason Starbucks is shutting down 250 stores in the U.S. is because most people just want a damn cup of coffee that costs less than a gallon of gas and doesn't come with a political statement.
