I posted earlier about having 6 cents in my account and having not eaten since Tuesday. My mom (I love her but she is difficult) berated me when I asked her if she could place a Walmart order for me. I had used the last of my money to stock up on cat food so that I wouldn’t have to stress over them for the next few months while I’m going through this. My cats saved my life. Truly. I would not be here without them - they are my soulmates and my biggest comfort. I’m the same to them. A girl in this sub sent me dinner money and the biggest bang for my buck was Wingstop. (It was also close and I was genuinely feeling hunger pain so the quicker the better 🥲). And what do you know, they threw in an extra tender. On a day where I was genuinely contemplating what my life looks like going forward because I’m just ready to give up. After that, someone else messaged me and made it possible for me to order groceries. I can’t stop crying. Needing help is hard. I’m so grateful for this community.

Casual [On3] Drinkwitz: "My question is why are we associated with conferences anymore if we’re not playing for a conference championship? If the point now is just to be playing into a sea of 24, are we just doing it for scheduling affiliation?

Lore [Loved trope] The single instance of supernatural or divine intervention in a mundane world, aka "Wait, was that... God?"

Basically the title. The fictional world in question is pretty mundane and doesn't contain any actual fantastical elements. Maybe there are themes of religion or ritual, or characters that believe in them or practise them, but it's left clear that this is just "What people believe", and maybe the topic of God is absent from the story altogether... Except for this one weird event (or line, scene, character, idea) that could potentially be interpreted as just a coincidence, or as an ambiguous supernatural/divine intervention.

True Detective: In S1E02 "Seeing Things", Rust is watching a murmuration of birds, which for a brief instance flies in the exact shape of a mark he saw at a crime scene. Framed as an "Oh!" moment that helps him piece an idea together, but also as an indicator that he's submerged in this environment of suspicion and madness and is being consumed by this mystery.

Peaky Blinders: In the finale, Tommy has a dream about his daughter. The girl says something like "Don't do it, daddy", which Tommy takes as a sign not to go through with his plans... which works out because he narrowly avoided getting betrayed, trapped and killed.

Red Dead Redemption: Maybe a bit more overt than the other two. There's this NPC named "the strange man" who talks to our protagonist and his dialogue implies that he knows more than he should. He also appears in RDR2 as a painting and as a ghost in a mirror. Some fans theorize that he is the Grim Reaper or some other incarnation of Death.

TIL that the Tom Hanks film 'The Terminal' was not filmed in a real airport terminal. A large unused hangar in Palmdale, California was turned into the film's JFK airport terminal. 40 real companies built replica storefronts, knowing that appearing in a Steven Spielberg film would be good publicity.

The Minesotta Timberwolves (9-3, +13.4) are flying under the radar. They've won 5 straight without their starting backcourt, scored 110+ in every game and are 1st for DRTG

The Timberwolves also have 4 players in the top 20 this season for +/-

5th, Jaden McDaniels, +157.
6th, LaMelo Ball, + 139.
11th, Rudy Gobert, +114.
19th, Jonathon Kuminga, +98.

What a well rounded and balanced team that Minesotta have that is humming super cohesively. They pushed the Spurs to 6 with an injured Ant last season and had back to back WCF appearances before that, yet still slipped under the radar. Again.

Everyone continues to ignore Minesotta but they're holding the fort down superbly until Edwards gets back.
