i always assumed jeopardy host and all ken jennings was, like, vaguely right wing on account of him

-being mormon and going to byu
-having that one tweet where hes like ā€œnothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchairā€ in 2014

only to learn he’s, like, very woke. anti-newsome (for his wishy-washy stance on trans people), hyping up zohran during the nyc primary, also he lives in seattle and is a transit guy. shoutout ken jennings

he also has some pretty funny posts. he’s been Posting since at least 2014 as evidenced by the aformentioned tweet and he hasn’t lost it. I mean that tweet wasn’t good but it shows he has some ambition and spark to his game

he called quizbowl the minor leagues for jeopardy once and quizbowlers took umbrage to that

he was a quizbowler. also brandon sanderson’s roommate at the university of washington before he transfered to byu

quizbowl in the 1900s was a different beast. they were playing shit like this

who the fuck is count rumford

before the internet was widespread and questions were all sourced from encyclopedias, knowing that faraday was apprenticed to a bookbinder got you points more consistently than knowing any of his actual scientific achievements

i loooooved to read in the 4th/5th grade specifically but in hindsight i really probably shouldn’t have read It. Like I was reading percy jackson and harry potter and loved books where the protagonist was 11, like me. And on cnn which my parents were watching it said the clowns were conected to this movie based on a book. A long book with good reviews where the protagonists are 11, like me.

like what was stephen king cooking

hm. i’m somewhat the opposite in that I might have been intrigued by the book otherwise but my dear father decided to play the trailer for the movie to scare me (it was rather effective at this). I was also 10 or possibly 9

my mom could see my book purchases since i read p much exclusively ebooks. she was like ā€œare you sure i heard it’s scaryā€ and i was like ā€œill be okā€ and it wasnt pushed far past that. I think if she looked it up it would’ve been a hard no since we were both still catholic at the time and also i was 11.

honestly maybe 11 was the best time to read the book because anything significantly past that would be… weird. i remember the book being kinda. er. visceral with the descriptions of the kids activities. which would be ostensibly kinda weird to read as an adult. but also i dont think there really is a good time to read it at all. i mean i remember it being compellingly written just yeah fucked up
