Getting into an argument with Sage Steel from ESPN on Twitter right now.
It’s about geography, and how Rutgers/Maryland make sense for the Big10 since they touch Penn State, and how the SEC didn’t consider that when they picked up Mizzou… Missouri touches three SEC states! Sure, they are in the East division, but how close is New Jersey to Minnesota?
At least she’s not Jemele Hill… she’d be yelling and screaming… and it would be a race thing at this point.
TWITTER IS STILL DOWN! TWITTER IS STILL DOWN! TWITTER IS STILL DOWN! TWITTER IS STILL DOWN!
Sorry, but this .gif should only be used for true emergencies. One example would be when Tumblr is down.

Bad Joke of the Day: Hahahaha! Wait… I don’t get it.
Neither did a lot of other people, some of whom thought The Onion’s Twitter account might have been hacked.
It seems the satirical periodical was attempting to reference a new piece just posted to its site. A follow-up Tweet made the whole thing clearer, but the Capitol Police still felt the need to issue a statement denying The Onion’s report.
“It has come to our attention that recent twitter feeds are reporting false information concerning current conditions at the U.S. Capitol,” said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider in the statement. “Conditions at the U.S. Capitol are currently normal. There is no credibility to these stories or the twitter feeds. The U.S. Capitol Police are currently investigating the reporting.”
Oops.
Not The Onion: “The Onion reports a fake emergency in the Capitol building, the Capitol Police get really pissed.”

It’s The Onion. Let me repeat that. It’s The Onion.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsakpaEAQr1qzpwi0o1_r1_400.jpg)

Breaking Bad IRL of the Day: With a pinch of Sons of Anarchy thrown in for good measure: Stephen J. Kinzey, a professor of kinesiology at Cal State San Bernardino, is on the run from the law after a raid on his Highland home yielded “more than a pound of methamphetamine, rifles, handguns, body armor, leather biker vests and other biker paraphernalia.”
The cops suspect the 43-year-old of leading the local chapter of the Devils Diciples Outlaw motorcycle gang, while running a successful meth operation on the side.
His live-in girlfriend and alleged business partner, Holly V. Robinson, was arrested during the raid on suspicion of distributing methamphetamine. Several other suspected drug ring members were arrested as well.
“To have an associate professor who is a member of the Devils Disciples and allegedly dealing methamphetamine is quite alarming,” said Sheriff Rod Hoops at a press conference. “I mean, it’s unusual to say the least.”
“It’s unusual” is literally the least you could say about this case, particularly after perusing the professor’s Twitter feed, which contains, among other mundane tweets, the line “sometimes the best of plans can be ruined by a cuddling cat.”

Graph: How long it took Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to reach 10 million users
The big difference is FB and Twitter came out of nowhere. Everyone already uses Google for at least searching if not their mail and chatting/video messaging. I may be one of the now 20 million on there, but unless everyone I know/people I want to follow in some way switch I’m not going to use it as a primary social media source.
This guy inadvertently livetweeted the death of Osama bin Laden.
So good, this is so good.
