Highlight represents the portion of the CNN homepage occupied by stories about a football game that hasn’t been played yet.
Apparently we are on the one-revolution-per-year timetable these days. “What, another one? Already? Well, okay. There is that black-guy-in-the-white-house problem. Alright, you convinced me, crazy lady. Sign me up.”

Self-Evident, “The Standard”
These guys slept on the floor of my living room in 2000. I put out a record for them called “What We Sound Like” on my short-lived record label in the same year, a record that I thought at the time was pretty amazing. Cut to a few albums and seven years later. This song is from their self-titled 2007 album, and it kills me every time. Their old stuff was amazing, but this is beyond. This is goosebump shit.
Nice motherfuckers, too. I’ve kind of lost touch with them, which I regret.
I’ll zip up that record from 2000 and post it online eventually. Until then, enjoy this song, and then go to their website and buy something.
I wish metal would get up Merlin’s ass more often. (Then maybe some 90s NC indie rock, then back to the metal.)
Here ya go, Geoff.
My one and only remote interaction with the SFTU.

Elevator Guy: So, what did you do this weekend?
Me: I traveled to San Francisco to meet a number of active users of particular social media services who utilize those services primarily for humorous purposes, such as dick jokes. And there’s something uniquely and fundamentally unifying about humor and dick jokes, as evidenced by the fact that these people felt an underlying sense of connection to even make the trip in the first place, but the real payoff was discovering how delightful these people are in the flesh, cementing friendships with people you admire and enjoy, and meeting new friends as part of the process. A weekend of laughs, happy nervous energy, laughs, hugs, enjoying a wonderful city, laughs, alcohol, laughs, celebration, a weekend somewhat ridiculous in premise but so meaningful in how it went down that I’m still sort of in awe, and so very grateful for the organizers and everyone that participated, I feel really lucky to be a part of it, dick jokes and all.
Elevator Guy: What?
That Elevator Guy worked there when I worked there, and let me tell you: he’s a real asshole. Laughs like a fucking hyena.

A Michigan defense contractor will voluntarily stop stamping references to Bible verses on combat rifle sights made for the U.S. military, a major buyer of the company’s gear.
In a statement released Thursday, Trijicon of Wixom, Mich., said it will also provide free modification kits to the armed forces that allow removal of the Scripture citations from the telescoping sights already in use. Through multimillion-dollar contracts, the Marine Corps and Army have more than 300,000 Trijicon sights.
- From the Washington Post.
If Trijicon also stops making Holy Hand Grenades, we’ll lose the Crusades for sure.

The best part is that to remove the markings from 300k sights, they provided, free of charge, 100 modification kits. For the lucky 100 soldiers assigned this duty, it’s like KP, only it offends God.
