It’s always a big story when one of our football gods kills himself. A very young NFL player who recently scored his first career touchdown, Marshawn Kneeland wore his mother’s ashes around his neck. Was he unable to get past her death?

Next thing you know he’ll say we shouldn’t have trillionaires; and today’s Elon’s big day!

Florida’s gunny venues power-wash the sidewalk blood right away after shootouts, but Ohio is slower. So here you’ve got this guy who lives across from a Cincinnati abattoir-hookah club complaining that it’s still all red and smeary outside when he gets up in the morning. It’s like that scene in War of the Worlds when the hero goes outside and the aliens have gooped all the trees.

Headline of the day.

Sing it.

The Prince to me a royal pain doth give,
So saith the throne, else cannot live.
To see the fairest Fergie ne’er again!
Oh yay oh yay (etc.)

A King who reigns, yet keeps his brother nigh,
Must love reject where power best apply
To keep the crown from ruin once again.
Oy veh, oy veh (etc.)

Embedded in his lust, Prince Andrew would instead
Much rather be dethron’d upon his bed,
But once beneath the royal counterpane,
The princeling by his ruler, Sex, is slain,
And so he must be booted to Bahrain.
Inshallah, Inshallah (etc.)

The footage, which WTKR has chosen not to release, depicts a frenzied, bloody scene, with [Abigail] Zwerner lying on the ground while officers perform life-saving measures.

Four different people came forward with concerns to [Vice Principal Ebony] Parker about the student on the day of the shooting, the lawsuit alleges.

It really don't get any higher
Than naming your college "Messiah" -
In the chapel we praise
In the lockers we haze.
Y'all cannot wait to apply.  Ja?

‘The confrontations follow an announcement by Rouhollah Momennasab, secretary of Tehran Province’s Headquarters for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vices, about forming a “Chastity and Hijab Situation Room.”

“With 80,000 trained forces across the province, a major transformation in implementing chastity and hijab policies will take place,” Momennasab said at a news conference.

He called on citizens to join a “people’s observers headquarters” to participate in the monitoring effort.

Momennasab said the situation room will track and analyze cultural and media activities in society, with enforcement strategies communicated to government agencies.‘

“No one could have imagined that a 6-year old, first-grade student would bring a firearm into a school,” Parker’s attorney, Daniel Hogan, told jurors.

It’ll be fun to watch this one. Of course we’ll cover it on University Diaries.

Six in formation shrieked overhead as I stood in front of this building, having made my weekly visit to an almost 100-year-old former Garrett Parker who lives there.

I like to do occasional city walks: I get on the 8:13 MARC train (they rarely charge me anything for it; I think they only want to deal with regulars who flash cards at them, not people who pay cash) and in no time I’m at Union Station, where the government shutdown features a quiet city, the angles of its monumental buildings super-sharp in full sunlight.

I walked from one station (Union St.) to another (Judiciary Sq.), and then metro’ed to Friendship Heights, where, after the visit with my friend, I once again metro’ed home. Mr UD picked me up at our local stop.

I’m now tired and pleasantly chilled.
