Summer 2010 I decided that after done with everything for the day, I'd to listen to two new-to-me metal albums a day, drink yuengling, play 2-3 hours of Angband until I got good. I didn't get good, but I don't regret that wind down ritual.

A few years ago Kimmel fired his longtime announcer Dicky Barret, lead singer of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (my favorite band 25ish years ago), over COVID vaccine disagreements, with Kimmel having said very harsh things about vaccine skeptics for some time. So I'm going to listen to a Bosstones song about regret and reflection on friendships that died and turned hostile https://youtube.com/watch?v=6vDz56QoR94

Appreciate it! Well, he's definitely weird. Not unheard of for families with 4 daughters 0 surviving sons to adopt a boy historically.

If so, would have been a family split over Mormonism that isn't easily found online.
I looked into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Overton the eponymous describer of the political window, who was a libertarian who died in a light aircraft crash 22 years ago. Family moved from New York to Michigan in the 1850s, though some served Union in Civil War in New York units. He is related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_Overton and his son https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Overton

Looked into it for a few minutes and nah.
This guy's full name is listed in some reports as George Hodgson Zinn, an obnoxious person from Salt Lake City https://www.theblaze.com/news/who-is-the-71-year-old-man-detained-after-charlie-kirk-shooting-who-police-say-is-not-a-suspect
I'm fairly confident he's related to https://www.deseret.com/1997/7/29/19326549/death-norma-hodgson-zinn-simmons/ I initially thought this was his grandmother, but real chance she is mother if she gave birth in her late 40s. Could just be that this character is George Hodgson Zinn jr and the reports left that out. A brief account by a person named George Zinn regarding their father Overton- https://www.up.com/heritage/history/stories/families/true-up-man-zinn/index.htm
So I'm pretty sure this guy is coming from a Utah Mormon family.
Howard Zinn's parents were Ellis Island Jewish immigrants to NYC.
Zinn means "tin" in German, so not extremely rare name for Jews or Gentiles whose ancestors held that profession when adopting a surname.

I wonder if a team of special forces/mercenaries assassinating Hamas guy before slipping away would be substantially less offensive and concerning. Alternatively, kidnapping him. Only so many teams competent to do that in the world, but drones are made in factories.
Fethullah Gulen, purportedly behind a coup attempt in Turkey that lead to the deaths of hundreds, lived for years not a few hours from me. If the Turks had decided to bomb Saylorsburg, PA to get him, or did it today to get his successor, would that be acceptable?
For more info, an obituary by Sailer- https://www.stevesailer.net/p/fethullah-gulen-international-man and an older piece that has unicode hiccoughs https://www.takimag.com/article/the_shadowy_imam_of_the_poconos_steve_sailer/
It's funny, the Wawa I know best is in Blakeslee (unrelated to nascar, never seen a race, but you can hear it in the distance), so about 20 minutes/miles from there.

They're simultaneously 7, 17 and 27 depending on the needs of the episode. A character might be scared of a thunderstorm during a sleepover, then plan to seduce a member of royalty, then overwhelmed by poorly specified custom orders at work.

RIP AntiDem, according to Anissimov last week https://x.com/MikeAnissimov2/status/1957118600264695829
which little horse Trump could pick in response.
I'd guess Cadence. The insecurities and personal failures of the mane six among others would add up too quickly for him. Cadence seemingly owns her big failures re: Chrysalis and Sombra, but they really genuinely aren't her fault. Going purely from memory, been a long time.

Buttercup Dew/My Nationalist Pony would make for a great writeup, but honestly I think that most people would need a 5 or 500k word introduction to the 2010 internet first.

What does "keeping it real" mean in this context?
"When keeping it real goes wrong" is a reference to a Chapelle show sketch, https://youtube.com/watch?v=pfz0tDQZhqs I'd say "Keeping it real" = "Being true to yourself, your identity, pride, self-respect" with the "goes wrong" being "responding to a slight in a way that results in disastrous self-sabotage".

Hanania doesn't appreciate that groypers appear to be huge to him because 1. They personally, viscerally hate him in particular and will actively seek him out and engage with him as a matter of trolling. 2. Among the groypers are relatively more experienced, serious trolls with VPNs/multiple accounts/those who automate some aspects of their engagement.
Fuentes' audience of Americans able to vote probably maxes out around 200,000 or so.

Unfortunately not a cryptid, but there have been regular legends regarding a large, navigable underground river. https://www.bhamwiki.com/w/Underground_river
A recently established local whiskey distillery is named Dread River after it.

the solar eclipse (the earliest manuscripts actually specify that it was a solar eclipse, rather than a darkening of the sky)
Please specify, which manuscripts of which texts?

The guy who drafts Patrick Mahomes way too early
I might actually change my team name to that in the league I've been in for 8 years, because it's kinda true.
It's only kinda true and not literally true because he's my keeeper.

Some backgrounds can really, really trip up even fairly educated and informed expectations. Take Guyana- South American English speakers, 30% Caribbean black types, 40% South Asians, 30% mixed or indigenous.

When you see some genuinely unimpressive ancient ruins, possibly Sparta itself, read this text from Thucydides:
For I suppose if Lacedaemon [Sparta] were to become desolate, and the temples and the foundations of the public buildings were left, that as time went on there would be a strong disposition with posterity to refuse to accept her fame as a true exponent of her power. And yet they occupy two-fifths of Peloponnese and lead the whole, not to speak of their numerous allies without. Still, as the city is neither built in a compact form nor adorned with magnificent temples and public edifices, but composed of villages after the old fashion of Hellas, there would be an impression of inadequacy. Whereas, if Athens were to suffer the same misfortune, I suppose that any inference from the appearance presented to the eye would make her power to have been twice as great as it is.
Who all is going? Would the group have more fun at a museum, restaurant, beach, boat, walking in a city, hiking?

Birmingham, Alabama. Suburban neighborhood called Crestline Park.
Alabama Symphony Orchestra's offices are 3ish miles away, but I hear them perform 6ish miles away.
I can get a custom suit within 1 mile, actually bespoke 10 miles.
I'm having trouble sorting through recreational barns, hobby farms, plant nurseries, LLCs that own houses which call themselves farms, wedding venues etc. The nearest Tractor Supply store is 14 miles away, I have had commutes that involved passing small groups of cattle, cotton fields.
Amtrak is 6 miles away, Walmart is 1 mile away. Birmingham Airport calls itself international and presumably has a minimal number of flights to various Caribbean island countries or Mexico per year. It is 5 miles away. Atlanta Airport 147 miles.

Honestly, I was(/am?) still on the fence about the Assad gas attacks because it would be such an insanely stupid thing for him to do, but I'm more inclined to believe he makes incredibly stupid decisions since he lost in the way he did.

Quoting an early South Park episode Helen Keller the Musical, which I chose along with state flag because of a few different threads where my state has come up.
Sounds familiar, check with /r/rational ? Also, aside from spacebattles or sufficientvelocity it could have fanfiction- any chance this guy was a pony, ninja or wizard? Might want to slog through https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheSingularity
