in 1968 the expected number of postseason games per team was 0.589945652! (there were a few years when it was .9 something, when the World Series was 9 games and there were only eight teams per league)

"Max Muncy is the all-time Dodgers franchise leader in postseason home runs" ok so here's the thing

for more than half of the Dodgers' existence, the expected number of postseason games a team could play per year is 0.7224620066. It's now somewhere around 1.5 (I haven't finished all the formulae)

He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him.

so FIU is obviously a real FBS school and is in fact I believe the first HLCU (Latino) in the U.S. they unsuccessfully sued Florida National, a for-profit garbage school. Florida Memorial is an HBCU Baptist institute. Florida College is a super-conservative anti-institutional Church of Christ school

"We even have a Muslim coming!"
zdroberts.bsky.social
Zach D Roberts @zdroberts.bsky.social · 1d
This year's MediaFest - a conference for student journalists has a Faith breakout section that includes speakers from the Alliance Defending Freedom - a SPLC designated Hate Group (oddly CJR's article doesn't mention that).

I hope attendees and sponsors pull out.
www.cjr.org/feature/stud...
But in recent weeks, MediaFest’s schedule has been amended to include people from other religious backgrounds. There will be more than twenty faith track speakers, on panels tackling such questions as “Can the Bible inform reporters on how to cover the news?” and discussing censorship on the basis of faith. “We even have a Muslim coming,” said Naomi Balk—who Thursday, October 16th Freedom to report with faith Faith Central 1:00 PM – 1:50 PM Cabin John Description As culture shifts away from religion, reporters are caught in a paradox: non-religious reporters report on topics of faith, and reporters of faith report on non-religious topics. What does it look like to report with objectivity in an age where not all perspectives are viewed as valid? Hear from Tyson Langhofer, director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom, as he shares lessons from history about freedom of the press. Speaker Tyson Langhofer, Alliance Defending Freedom, Senior Counsel, Director of Center for Academic Freedom Alliance Defending Freedom SPLC Designated Hate Group Related: Anti-LGBTQ Founded: 1994 Location: Scottsdale, Ariz.

In news that might only interest me and three other people, the FOIA Fairy confirms that

a) William & Mary paid $50K to join Patriot League FB
b) current Patriot League dues are $30K a year

also, FB affiliate status is only through the 2029 season. Could be renewed after:
