#KeyOfLifeConcert Day 21: The last song! The oddmatch with 21 songs, which means the concert ends a week before the 50th anniversary of the album's release (9-28-76). A great ending to a great record. This song & title fits so well with how the album makes me feel!

Another oddmatch: Earth, Wind, & Fire released "Spirit" on the same day (does not have "September", which mentions today, but does have the great "Getaway").

From 1967

#KeyOfLifeConcert Day 17: This is how the original album ended. Seems a fitting oddmatch to the ending of a staple in our neighborhood & about half my life. Thank you, Lincoln Plaza! I will miss seeing you over my wall & the protection you provided.

#KeyOfLifeConcert Day 3: The pairing today fits so well with this day for me. It is a good oddmatch that inspires what I do, especially on social media, and what I want to do more offline.

Rest in Power!

More later about this remarkable person!

Oddmatch as I was watching “Wonder Man” last night & the episode ends with Ms. Parton’s “Johnny Carson Show” song over the credits.
Tonight, the Empire State Building lights will sparkle pink at 9:25 to honor Dolly Parton. A global icon, her seven-decade career touched generations. She leaves a legacy through her Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, providing millions of books to children.

#BladeConcert Day 6: What the oddmatch given today is the 81st anniversary of the U.S. bombing Hiroshima & the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act becoming law.

Also, one of my favorite bands to see live.

Again, the oddmatch & blessings in my life. His father was president of Lincoln Institute, which was started by @bereacollege.bsky.social (my alma mater) after the Day Law was passed in KY & upheld by SCOTUS to stop Blacks & Whites going to school together at Berea. My maternal side of the /1

Oddmatch as Mr. Howard Jones was on @radiofromhell.bsky.social here in SLC yesterday!
“You can see the summit, but you can’t reach it
It’s the last piece of the puzzle, but you just can’t make it fit
Doctor says you’re cured, but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds, but your hopes go down the drain…”

Today's @radiofromhell.bsky.social Addendum: Just because you can explain the direct harm to someone via science/medicine does not preclude that the event leading to it was not precipitated by a curse (@rfhgina.bsky.social).

Lionel Messi helped bathe a five-month-old Lamine Yamal as part of a charity photoshoot back in December 2007.

It is such an extraordinary coincidence that it scarcely feels believable, Messi admitted on Friday.

Thread: #ConspiracyBrother was saying to #PonyPaul after the Watson ruling & denials of Dershowitz & Carroll cases that something was going to give. Slaughter is an apt oddmatch name for the case.

At least SCOTUS is not messing with the money (semi-sarcasm). Glad Lisa Cook stays.
We have Slaughter and Cook. By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS overturns Humphrey's Executor and lets Trump fire heads of independent agencies. But by a 5–4 vote, it refuses to let him fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve.

I know this could be an oddmatch, but wow. It is the second picture I have seen with everyone smiling or engaged, except for him.

My #MamaSis is in Ghana. My favorite college gymnastics team (Utah Red Rocks( is in Ghana on a separate trip. Now John Oliver talking about Ghana. Great #Oddmatch!
What our fans have always wanted: a poster of John, guns, and an impossibly long snake. Available now at HangJohnOliver.com! Proceeds go to Ghanaian artists via Deadly Prey Gallery and charities across Ghana thanks to GlobalGiving!

Another oddmatch: In 2020, the initial big story on that Memorial Day was Christian Cooper having the cops called on him in Central Park while birding. Later in the day, the murder of George Floyd would take place & change society.

#MountainConcert Day 25: In a wonderful oddmatch, in 1977, Star Wars was released; in 1961, President Kennedy issued the "man on the Moon" speech to Congress; & in 2008, #GeekShowPodcast released their first public podcast. GSPC can now drive a car!

I am serving on a student's thesis committee that will be defended today. It deals with political groups, intergroup conflict, & psychological components of the conflict in different countries & systems.

Good oddmatch for the two NPR stories I heard today.

Story 1: www.npr.org/2026/05/18/n...
Alabama march traces path of the civil rights movement while gearing up for new fight
A civil rights protest in Alabama this weekend was organized to kick off a summer of voter mobilization and civic action across the South.

#MountainConcert Day 17: Today marks 72 years since Brown v. Kansas, which basically overturned Plessy v. Ferguson (that is tomorrow's anniversary; got to enjoy the oddmatch).

If you know Brown (1954), did you know there was a second one? /1

Thread!

This is part of why I like "Citizen Kane" so much as it was an early film showing how media can "make the news" as much as report on it.

Good #oddmatch on the day Mr. Ted Turner died as I remember CNN being in spots just before something happened in the early days.

#WorkingToFix2026
Did DoJ tip Fox, its favored network, to be on the scene? Probably. How should you consume that? Not in any way that excuses the media as a whole from benefitting from such tips on the regular, left and right, year in and year out.

Every time I hear about Stormfront, I semi-chuckle at the oddmatch of their last name being "Black", & wonder if they get the "jokes" I get due to my last name.

Some of the stories about Adrianne when she left the organization are readings my Intergroup Relations students pick for papers to write.
Stormfront is down for the 20th time so far this year. It has been down longer than it has been up. Don is really really struggling. He really should retire and just enjoy what time he has left with his kiddo, Adrianne... and other family.

Um, today's First Reading in the Office of Readings being Chapter 1 from the Book of Revelation is just an oddmatch, right? Right?

Thread: Today's #LentKing2026 is a great oddmatch as it was a speech given on March 10, 1968, just weeks before his murder. The speech "The Other America" was given 58 years ago today, and 57 years ago today, James Earl Ray confessed to killing Dr. King, and Ray was born /1
