| No Ones Coming to Save You: Michigan Great Delivers Brutal Reality Check to Bryc |
| Posted on Saturday, September 12 @ 00:03:51 PDT (6 reads) | |
|
Michigan football fans expected a dominant kickoff to the season, but instead, they got a massive scare against an fbs opponent. The wolverines barely scraped by western michigan with a controversial 13-12 win, leaving a trail of questions about their highly touted quarterback, bryce underwood. With a high-stakes matchup against the no. 11 oklahoma sooners looming at the big house, former michigan all-american left tackle taylor lewan decided it was time to step in with some unfiltered truths.
speaking on a recent panel alongside will compton and josh pate, lewan did not sugarcoat the situation. He noted that the young quarterback is dealing with a brand-new kind of spotlight, one fueled by a monstrous $12 million nil package and immediate expectations to be perfect. After a week of endless internet critiques, lewan laid out the ultimate football reality on espn college football:
“the whole world wants this kid to fail this week because there may or may not have been a second on the clock, and there must be justice for another michigan team in this state,” the former wolverines lineman said (via @espncfb on x). “So if i’m in his camp, i’m sitting there and saying, ‘listen to it, digest it, and understand. This is the real world right now. You get paid a lot of money. There’s a lot of expectation on you, and if you don’t perform, the worst thing is going to happen. He needs to run the football as much as possible. He needs to protect the football when he’s throwing it.”
for lewan, the biggest hurdle for the young signal-caller isn’t just the opposing defense. It’s the invisible weight holding him back on the field.
the former offensive lineman believes the program needs to stop shielding its young star if they expect him to grow. He explained that the team has to let the player be free, make mistakes, and handle the pressure head-on.
“but more than anything, he needs to let the guardrails off of himself. He needs to go out there and live and die by the sword. But more than anything, he has to understand something you and i say to each other every time there’s adversity striking one of our lives: no one’s coming to save you. You can only save yourself. I’m there with him. I’ll be sitting there on saturday and rooting for the kid. I want him to be successful, and i believe he still can be that guy. But truly, it’s a do-or-die situation for him.”
the majority of wolverine fans cut him some slack last season because he had no qb coach to guide him. One of the first things kyle whittingham did when he arrived in ann arbor was to hook him up with jason bateman and a qb coach while promising to run the offense to the best of his abilities.
despite all that offseason work, the debut of the underwood-whittingham era turned into a rollercoaster. The former five-star qb completed just 54.5% of his passes for 170 yards, with one touchdown and one interception, while adding 47 yards and a score on the ground. The game only ended in a victory because of a chaotic, last-second 47-yard hail mary pass to jj buchanan. Because the final whistle was muddled by a stadium clock controversy, fans and rival analysts across the country have been loudly calling out the offense’s stagnation.
now, the stage is set for what many are calling the biggest game of underwood’s young life because of the stakes involved in his role in ann arbor. Head coach kyle whittingham has already hinted to the media that the starting job isn’t guaranteed forever .
rumors are swirling because backup tommy carr has suddenly been taking 20 percent of his practice time with the first-team offense. If the starting offense continues to sputter in the first half against oklahoma, the staff might pivot to carr to spark a change.
compounding the drama is oklahoma’s notoriously aggressive, exotic defense under brent venables.
the sooners were a brick wall last week, pitching a massive 51-0 shutout against utep. They completely suffocated the miners, giving up a microscopic 198 total yards and grounding the passing game to just 86 yards. The sooners lived in the backfield all night long, racking up four sacks and 10 tackles for loss, while forcing two fumbles.
mind you, underwood struggled heavily on the move last week, going just 2-of-8, throwing outside the numbers when pressured. To survive this weekend, analysts suggest michigan must completely reopen the playbook, lean heavily into underwood’s elite running ability, and let him use his natural athleticism to extend plays.
everyone in ann arbor wants to see the former top recruit succeed, but top-tier college football waits for no one. If underwood wants to quiet the critics and keep hold of the starting job, he has to be the one to orchestrate the turnaround, as lewan highlighted. |

| Dems Got Themselves a Case of the Cray Crays and They Just Cant Seem to Shake th |

Democrats are not exactly attracting the best and most assuredly not the brightest to run under the blue jackass flag this election cycle.
what is really baffling is how frightened of these, in many cases, out-and-out nutjobs the old establishment guard is, and even the newer blood, such as it is.

does your job mean that much to you that you will sacrifice your integrity and dignity to snuggle up to the anti-american, hate-filled sociopaths now rampaging through the flaming remnants of your party? I mean, sure, you all were the kkk members and the guys who designated separate drinking fountains and stalled every last bit of civil rights legislation…but there’s nuthin’ that says you can’t change!
you’re supposed to progress, not regress, and yet, here you are.
chasing jews through the streets of american cities and across college campuses like you’re larping as cossacks out for a pogrom.
no civilized human being does that, and certainly not an american.
but then again, you’re all into not being ‘proud’ of being american, so what would you know about it?
gallup poll: proud to be an american?

even what passes for ‘normal’ candidates cozy up to cray cray and then try to hide from the hugs they gave out the second someone calls them out on it.
here’s a prime example, and i’ll give you the story as it unfolded. Jocelyn benson is the democrat running for governor of michigan against republican john james.

he has called her out for ‘standing with the radical left.’
oooh, she’s mad and has appealed to authority to dispute it in the form of her veteran husband.
i have highlighted the money quote.
how dare you, congressman. My husband enlisted in the army and put his life on the line for our country after losing his friend, todd ouida, in the towers on 9/11. This is a despicable lie to the people of michigan about what that day means to me and my family, the sacrifices… https://t.Co/sab27nfadd

…the sacrifices made, and the devastating impact of that attack on our country.
i have never, and would never, campaign with anyone who says something so reprehensible.
if you have any decency, you will immediately take down this false ad. The veterans and families who lost loved ones on 9/11 deserve better than your lies and self-serving political opportunism.
shame on you.
i have never, and would never, campaign with anyone who says something so reprehensible.
well…oops.
pictures, yo.
ms. Benson is literally ‘standing with the radical left.’

there are no lies detected in john james’ completely truthful statement, as confirmed by the evidence, that ms. Benson ‘stands with a radical left that says america deserved 9/11.’
former north carolina governor roy cooper, now a candidate for the u.S. Senate seat being vacated by thom tillis, is one of the good old establishment boys keen on keeping the new kids around, no matter how vile or unhinged they may seem.
advertisement
seem? Are.
in the past few days, he was caught on an undercover video affirming that the big tent party was the way for democrats to go.
we ‘got to be together,’ the good ol’ boy explained to his questioner (video at the link), explaining his strategy to embrace the socialist wing swamping the party.
roy cooper, the former north carolina governor and a democratic candidate for the senate, believes his party should incorporate a big-tent approach to an emerging wave of socialist candidates backed by the democratic socialists of america (dsa).
when asked if he would sign the promise to america, a repudiation of socialist stances put out by moderate democrats, cooper said he wouldn’t.
“i don’t see any need to,” cooper said in video footage obtained by fox news digital.
“i think the party needs a wide spectrum, particularly at a time when the republican party is shrinking and having all kinds of loyalty tests. I think we need to have all kinds of folks to be a part of our party.”
little did he know he’d have a chance to embrace a part of the spectrum that’s so far out of the norm so soon, but here it is.
and the state is watching to see what he does.
there’s a democrat candidate for the north carolina state house whom professor jonathan turley generously believes may have found herself getting little traction and decided to shake things up a bit.
advertisement
i think anyone who did what she did is certifiably the mayor of crazy town, but i’ll leave it to you all to decide for yourselves.
she was at dachau – yes, that dachau – and posted a photo of herself in front of a set of the infamous ovens.
it’s how she tagged it that is making people physically ill.
north carolina democrat state legislative candidate shelly headen appears to have been struggling to find a way to distinguish herself in an age of rage. She found it by posting a smiling facebook message in front of the ovens at dachau with the message “visiting dauchau [sic]…
— jonathan turley (@jonathanturley) september 11, 2026
…with the message “visiting dauchau [sic] concentration camp in germany… this is where trump supporters belong.”
yeah
north carolina house democrats appear to be successfully fending off the cray cray contagion so far, because they dropped old girl like an awfl rabid skunk.
breaking: nc house dems rescind support of candidate shelley headen, who called for violence against republicans. This deals a blow to dem hopes to gain a majority in the chamber. In interview, headen compares herself to jesus, mlk, and lincoln. #Ncpol https://t.Co/9kopqsw4ha
— bryan anderson (@bryanranderson) september 10, 2026
but she’s in it to win it, just like jesus would have.
…she said she paid $30,000 for a consulting firm to comb through her social media accounts for possible concerns.
headen said she’ll continue to run in spite of resistance from the party.
“i’ve sacrificed myself just like jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, and martin luther king and abraham lincoln and all the people that put themselves out there to sacrifice for our country,” she said. “If a few angry moments on social media are the end, then so be it. Maga will keep winning if we continue with not standing up for what’s right.”
advertisement
you go, girl.
no word from aspiring senator cooper so far, and that’s kind of a shame.
but then he probably doesn’t see any need to, since he’s into all kinds of folks.
besides, every time one drops out, another seems to pop up, like democratic whack-a-whacko.
it gets damn exhausting.
editor’s note: the 2026 midterms will determine the fate of president trump’s america first agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of congress.

Some years ago, when i was a graduate student, i learned firsthand about men’s violence against women. Having been a somewhat sheltered suburban boy, i had no idea, really, about the extent of violence against women, the terrible physical and emotional and even spiritual pain inflicted on women by the men who claim to love them. My girlfriend was working at a shelter at the time; it became the basis for her phd dissertation. I wanted to do my part, so i offered to volunteer at the shelter where she worked. She informed me that the shelter was for women only and that if i really wanted to help, i should go talk to the men who beat women up. Made sense to me.
i was eventually trained in one of the country’s first batterers’ intervention programs. These programs were established by the courts as alternatives to incarceration for convicted batterers. During one of our early meetings, i listened as the men went around the room, describing the incidents that led to their arrests and subsequent convictions. To a man, they spoke about “losing control.” This notion of losing control as a proximate cause of hitting one’s wife was the default position, the most common and easily acknowledged nonpattern. Each guy began with a story about what he expected, what he deserved, what he was entitled to—dinner, sex, her being home, her listening to him. Then there was an argument, during which time he accused her of not providing whatever it was—again, food, sex, complete obedient attention—to which he felt entitled. “And then i just lost control,” he would say, to nods of agreement all around the circle. Vague and unspecific, even at times offered in a somewhat lower tone, “i lost control” was almost a mantra—words they knew to say, but without much conviction.
if this sounds like college kids explaining why they hooked up last weekend—because they got so drunk that they just lost control—that is, using loss of control as an excuse to do what you may have wanted to do all along but needed social permission to do, well, there might be some truth to it. But with men who hit women, the logic is somewhat different. If you define masculinity as about always being in control, then losing control is a sign of damaged manhood, of a loss of manhood. Violence, as we’ve seen, is restorative, a way to set things right again, to return to the place where you are supposed to have been all along. But having to use violence to achieve what you should have been able to assume simply because you have a y chromosome still doesn’t fully repair—can’t fully repair—that damaged sense of masculinity. So it’ll happen again.
and that’s why the “losing control” narrative also doesn’t square with the data. Even the most cursory review of the data would tell you that domestic violence has a certain pattern and that it often keeps to this pattern despite the seemingly explosive spontaneity of any individual act. If, for example, he hits her in the kitchen around dinnertime, the odds are that will be the place where he will hit her every time he does. If he hits her for the first time in the bedroom, at night, then that’s where the overwhelming majority of assaults will take place. Any individual act may feel spontaneous and impulsive—a loss of control—but it is a loss of control that has a definite shape.
at one point in the group, after each guy had described the crime for which he was convicted—although each professed his innocence and made clear that he had just lost it—i returned to one guy’s story, to try to push back a bit on what felt too easy and pat an answer. I wanted to force the issue of this contradiction—the fact that the spontaneous loss of control had such a methodical pattern.
this guy—let’s call him al—had recounted that he had returned home from work one evening. It had been a particularly hard day; he was a contractor and several workers hadn’t shown up, and he was already pissed that he had to pick up the slack for them. Deadlines were looming larger and larger, and he was starting to get anxious that they might not make it. When he arrived home, though, his wife, who did not have a job outside the home, was just starting dinner. “What could she have been doing all day?” Al asked.
as i’d been trained, i asked him to describe the room in as much detail as possible. (Therapists often argue that it’s in these details, and especially in our recollections and narratives of these details, that the clues to successful interventions may lie.) Al described the kitchen. He was in the door frame between the dining room and kitchen, half in and half out of the room. His wife was by the stove, where there was a frying pan for the chicken she was cutting up on the cutting board next to the stove. Frozen french fries were in a bag on the counter, and some vegetables were lying, unwashed and uncut, on the counter. “
so that’s when you lost control,” i asked, “when she was standing there cooking, and you came in and she hadn’t done what she was supposed to do?”
“yeah,” al said. “I mean i do what i’m supposed to do, right? I work my ass off, and come home to that shit?”
“so what happened?” I asked.
“i start yelling, and so she starts yelling about all the stuff she has to do, like cleaning and cooking and shit, and we just start yelling, and it gets pretty intense in there. She’s such a fucking bitch, man. I work, and she complains. I got really, really mad.”
“and that’s when you lost it?”
“yeah, man, i just lost control. I just lost it.”
“hmm,” i said, sort of buying time, wondering how to interrupt this self-justifying conversation. “Well, i’m trying to picture this. She’s standing by the stove; there’s food everywhere, some forks and knives and other cooking stuff around, right?”
“yeah, so?”
“well, why didn’t you just pick up a knife and stab the bitch?” I asked.
suddenly, the room grew silent. A couple of guys looked at me as if i finally “got it,” finally understood things from their point of view, that i finally understood that sometimes the women just deserve it, you know?
but al looked at me somewhat blankly. “What the fuck do you mean, man?” He said. “Stab her? Are you fucking crazy? I didn’t even hit her with a closed fist! I didn’t want to kill her!”
“wait a minute, al,” i said. “You mean to tell me that you didn’t even punch her, that you didn’t close your fist when you hit her?”
“no, man! Open hand, open hand.”
“then how can you sit there and tell me that you lost control? I mean, if you and i got into it right here, and you lost control, do you think you’d say to yourself, ‘now, al, don’t close your fist. Hit him with an open hand’? Of course not. You decided to hit her. You decided not to pick up a knife. You remembered not to close your fist when you did. You were in control the whole time!”
bear in mind that al’s wife had ended up in the hospital that night, with a black eye and a hairline fracture to her jaw. But what happened in that moment was that i had inadvertently interrupted the casual consensus that men hit women when they lose control. The loss of control is the pretext, the facilitator that enables him to do what he intended to do, which is to use violence to control her, as he feels entitled to do. Losing control provides plausible deniability, explains away the intentionality, the purposiveness, of the violence.
but if that violence is purposive—intentional, deliberate, and rational—it is also expressive of a feeling that the power and control that you assume, to which you feel entitled, have been eroded, compromised. Violence is the way to restore what should have been in the first place. It doesn’t happen when everything is going smoothly, when “his” power is unchallenged. It’s only when it breaks down. Violence is restorative. Afterward, everything is returned to its “rightful” state.

The issues important to young people as they vote in the michigan u.S. Senate race
east lansing, mich. — Friday, democrat abdul el-sayed heard from students at michigan state university, but as young people prepare to hit the ballot box this november, whats important to them?
some students have already made up their mind.
aidan haas, a college republican, is lining up behind former congressman mike rogers.
hes definitely the strongest candidate for the senate race, haas said.
justin stephen was in attendance at el-sayeds campus event, and he went in knowing hed support the former public health official.
abdul, i see that hes a candidate that i respect and i like, stephen said. I mean, honestly, im voting for him.
haas said he likes rogers record and doesnt like what el-sayed would bring to the u.S. Senate, labeling him a socialist.
we are the midwest, right? We are the normies, we are the ones who are just nice to each other, haas said. Abdul el-sayed is not nice, hes aggressive, he doesnt have a good record. Frankly, hes never really had a real job, and his job record that he has had with his jobs is just not great. Its not a good record.
on the other side, stephen said he likes el-sayeds authenticity and his drive to get money out of politics.
i feel like so many donors have been like giving money to our senators, whether republican or democrat, stephen said. I just feel like thats wrong, and they should be focused on the people and not corporations, so im very big on that.
the advent of artificial intelligence, the environment, and student loans were some concerns, but like voters of all ages, the economy and iran war loom large.
young people want to feel like they can afford something that theyre going to be able to buy a house, haas said. Thats how i want to feel, i want to feel like i can have kids, that i can get by on a one income household, and thats just not happening right now.
stephen lamented that the war is affecting gas prices.
once i get out of college, you know, like, will i be able to sustain myself? Will i be able to have a family and kids like, all of that is very important to me?, Stephen asked. I feel like my generation as well, like were all so tired of like whats been happening.
the divide, however, is how to fix the issue.
lets not do it by letting the government take all of your payroll and take all of your money and just add more government bloat, haas said. Lets do it by enabling private citizens to use their own money to get costs down, right? And were going to bring costs down by reducing regulations, cutting stuff.
michael lavelle, a saginaw valley state university student that attended el-sayeds town hall, wants money focused domestically,
towards health care and toward citizens instead of towards a war that doesnt do anything towards us, i think that thats what we should be doing, lavelle said.
some students, though, remain undecided. Michigan state freshman xavier evoy attended a town hall with el-sayed to hear more.
im just keeping an open mind right now for the most part, evoy said. I would like to see them debate each other.
like other college students, though, his decision will be based on his financial future.
im still, you know, getting my hands dirty with student loans, evoy said. So being able to have a candidate that expresses reform for that system because clearly its not worked for a lot of students.
polls have shown younger voters tend to favor el-sayed, but no group is a monolith, and both campaigns are working to win over students.
the the lives of these young people, those are the lives that theyve mortgaged away, el-sayed said, referring to president donald trump and rogers. And our job is to show up for them and give them a pathway back into our politics actually solves problems that theyre facing.
el-sayeds campaign said it has student organizers on every major campus who are working to engage young people and have a conversations.
being able to continue to have that conversation with young folks across these campuses about the ability to to engage in this election, to really change the future of where our politics could be headed, thats deeply empowering, el-sayed said.
rogers campaign launched a students for mike rogers coalition.
time and time again, we’ve had young people come up to us saying that they have to leave the state to find a job, that the school system—which now ranks 45th in the nation—has been failing them, and that they just can’t afford to build a home and plant roots here, rogers communications director alyssa brouillet said. This next generation is paying the highest price for democrats’ failures.
brouillet said young people need a leader like mike rogers who is going to make the american dream a reality again

| We have always been our own family: Beloved St. Michaels restaurant closing its |
| Posted on Saturday, September 12 @ 00:03:51 PDT (3 reads) | |

St. Michaels, md. — The crab claw – a multigenerational family restaurant in st. Michaels – is closing its doors in november, after more than six decades in business.
according to owner tracy jones-wass, the last day the restaurant will be open is november 1st.
jones-wass’ parents, sylvia and bill, opened the business in 1965. It started out as an oyster shucking house, buying and selling oysters and crabs. To make use of the surplus, the owners built out a restaurant space upstairs with screened seating, tables and chairs
the crab claw is my life, jones-wass said. “It means the world to me. Its very, very bittersweet that were closing.”
in 2021, the restaurants longtime head server was diagnosed with cancer — and around the same time, so was tracy.
crab claws general manager -- wayne bridges -- says the property was then sold in 2022 and the deal on the sale closed in 2023.
after that, the crab claw leased the property for three years with the possibility of an extension, but now that lease is up.
bridges describes the crab claw as family — no bar stools, no sit-down bar, just big shared tables.
it broke my heart. Ive been here 41 seasons,” bridges said. “You know, thats a lot of friends, a lot of families, a lot of relationships, a lot of future relationships. You know, i always, i always thought that i was going to retire here.
despite the news, the family-run restaurant is continuing to serve the community as usual.
tracys kids, taylor and brandon, practically grew up at the crab claw — theyve worked there since their teenage years, and today theyre still out on the floor waiting tables.
“the restaurant has always [been] held near and dear to my heart. Ive been working here since, literally, i was in diapers,” brandon said. “I would be at the host stand. You know, waitresses they used to watch after me when i was a kid…working with my family, its a pleasure. It is an honor and a pleasure, absolutely. You know, its a rare thing nowadays where families get to work together, and its nice to be able to be so close with my family and just come in and check in on each other.”
taylor says she moved home full time to be able to help her mom, completing her graduate school degree online while working at the crab claw full time.
“i realized no matter what the outcome, no matter how long my family stays here, i just wanted to be there for her and for that,” taylor said. “Its just bittersweet is really how, what i can say, truly how i feel…before this year, i never really sat back and realized how privileged i am to be around my brother and my mom all day, and ive just been really trying to soak it in.
some people who grew up going to the crab claw came back friday to enjoy the restaurant one last time.
bill jordan, who now lives in pennsylvania but grew up in havre de grace, maryland would visit the crab claw every summer growing up when his family would travel down the bay. He says his first time at the restaurant was when he was eight.
“when we heard this was closing, my boys have never been here, so i decided wed take a, long weekend, go down to annapolis, have some fun in annapolis, come over here for lunch, and they get to experience this place before its no more,” jordan said.
other longtime customers who still visit the crab claw every week say the establishment is an institution in maryland.
“i love saint michaels, but the crab claw is, its an event, you know?, Harry criswell said. “Were not coming here to eat. Were coming here because its an event, and its a maryland tradition.”
jones-wass says she has enjoyed being ingrained in the st. Michaels community.
“its been wonderful serving the saint michaels community,” jones-wass said. “I feel that the crab claw helped put saint michaels on the map. We have employed almost every young person in talbot county, in the surrounding counties. They put themselves through college, by working here as either a bus guy, bartender or a waitress. And now i see that you can continue to come back as adults with their families.”
bridges added that he would like to carry on the legacy of the crab claw in his own way, with the plan to build a restaurant in the crab claw’s spirit somewhere on the eastern shore.
“i want to keep somewhere else, you know, but i want this to keep going,” bridges said. “This whole concept, the camaraderie, the friendships, the relationships. You know, even the top funny stories of all the people whove worked here for the last 61 years. I want that to keep on. Id like that to be my legacy when i pass away.” |

Baltimore comic con 2026 announces a david dastmalchian and leah kilpatrick special signing
fans will flock to the baltimore comic-con at the inner harbor’s baltimore convention center this september 25-27! The baltimore comic-con is thrilled to announce a special autograph session by ringo nominee david dastmalchian on saturday at the 2026 event. Co-writer leah kilpatrick will be available during david’s signings to sign books they have written together, as well as other items. Tickets to get his book and autographs are now on sale on our website!
tickets for autographs by david are limited, and include one copy of his book, a signature in that book, and an autograph on one other fan-provided item. Leah will be on site to sign their co-written books as a bonus! Both will be appearing saturday afternoon at the cards, comics & collectibles booth, #916, with ticket holders to meet david being provided a number to determine if they will be in the first or second grouping.
one of the most celebrated genre actors working today, david dastmalchian has built a remarkable career spanning blockbuster films, independent cinema, horror, science fiction, and comic book adaptations. He made his feature film debut in christopher nolan’s the dark knight and later reunited with nolan for oppenheimer, while becoming a frequent collaborator of denis villeneuve with roles in prisoners, blade runner 2049, and dune. With his genre-focused company good fiend films, dastmalchian produced and starred in the horror hit late night with the devil. His credits also include marvel studios’ ant-man films and james gunn’s the suicide squad, classic dc villain abra kadabra on the flash, gotham, and currently stars as gurathin in apple tv+’s acclaimed science-fiction series murderbot. He has now entered another enormous corner of fandom as mr. 3 in netflix’s live-action adaptation of one piece, and will next step into one of gaming’s most iconic franchises as m. Bison in the upcoming street fighter.
but dastmalchian’s connection to comic books goes far beyond appearing in their adaptations. A lifelong comics fan, he is also an accomplished comic book writer, having created and written count crowley, his horror series about a television horror host who discovers that the monsters she presents on screen are very real. With dark horse, he has also co-written the annual headless horsemen anthology and the breakout 2026 hit kingdom of earth. For image comics, he created the series knights vs. Samurai, and his creature commandos series at dc is now available in trade paperback. His recent ringo-nominated graphic novel through from z2 comics and the accessories from panick entertainment both debuted in 2026. Upcoming books from dastmalchian include stories in venom from marvel, kolchak meets count crowley from monstrous book, and m. Bison for legendary.
leah kilpatrick is a writer, actor, and creature-maker whose work spans comics, film, and television. Drawing from her background in performance and production, she explores reimagined monsters, dark humor, and the humanity buried inside the things we fear most.
in comics, kilpatrick is the co-creator and co-writer of kingdom of earth from dark horse comics and the accessories from panick entertainment, two original horror series that use monsters as a way into deeply personal stories. The acclaimed kingdom of earth explores survival and connection against the backdrop of an apocalyptic world, while the accessories turns its focus toward the forgotten figures surrounding horror’s most iconic monsters. Her previous work includes stories in dc horror presents and the headless horseman halloween annual.
on screen and behind the scenes, kilpatrick’s credits include acting, practical creature performance, and sfx/makeup, most recently for the boulet brothers’ holiday of horrors for shudder. She also leads an upcoming found-footage horror feature set entirely within a cave, slated for release in 2027, and is currently developing multiple projects as executive creative director of good fiend films.
when she’s not writing or performing, she’s probably somewhere scrubbing prosthetic adhesive off random places on her body.

Fire station in federal way, wa houses rare artifacts from 9/11
federal way, wash. - 25 years after the terrorist attacks of september 11, 2001, the vow to never forget remains a living reality in the south sound.
it’s hard to capture in words the magnitude and essence of what happened on september 11, 2001, said south king fire chief ryan woodey.
on friday, south king fire hosted its annual 9/11 memorial ceremony at station 64 in federal way, washington, marking a quarter-century since the tragedy.
the attack claimed the lives of 2,977 innocent people, said federal way police chief andy hwang.
while community ceremonies have been held across the nation, station 64 stands as a unique sanctuary of historical memory — it is one of the few sites in the nation to house authentic artifacts connected to all three 9/11 crash sites.
artifacts from three sacred grounds
the outdoor memorial at station 64 is home to three distinct pieces of american history. Each piece represents a site where lives were lost on that tuesday morning of the terrorist attacks 25 years ago:
- new york city (world trade center): a 12-foot-long steel beam weighing approximately 1,216 pounds serves as the focal point of the memorial.
- shanksville, pennsylvania (flight 93): a stone excavated from the field where the passengers and crew of united airlines flight 93 fought to regain control of their hijacked aircraft, preventing it from striking its presumed target in washington, d.C.
- washington, d.C. (The pentagon): a section of limestone building block recovered from the outer ring of the pentagon following the crash of american airlines flight 77.
surrounding these three artifacts is a black granite memorial wall engraved with the names of all 2,977 victims, including 343 firefighters and 60 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
the spirit of september 11 didn’t end 25 years ago. It lives on every single day in every firefighter, every police officer, every paramedic, every dispatcher, every member of our armed forces and every citizen who answers the call to serve someone else, said chief hwang during the tribute ceremony.

bringing history home: a 54-hour mission
for retired south king firefighter sven schievink, the creation of the memorial was deeply personal.
i grew up in new york. And unfortunately, i lost 20 of my friends in the world trade center, said schievink.
following the attacks, schievink placed an official request with new york’s port authority to secure a piece of structural steel for federal way. Schievink said a decade passed without news. Then, in 2011, the department received notice that their request had been granted.
using a donated trailer, schievink and a fellow retired firefighter drove 54 hours across the country to retrieve the 1,216-pound beam. Their journey also took them through shanksville and washington, d.C.
it was an emotional trip, said schievink. Now, it’s more about remembering my friends, but it’s also about the people who have died since then. I wish that we were the america that we saw on 9/12. I wish we’d get back to that.
preserving the memory for future generations
federal way’s 25th anniversary ceremony drew community members, first responders, and military veterans alike. Among those attending were army veteran kevin wilson—a member of the blinded veterans association who is currently losing his sight—and his wife, sarah.
in 2022, kevin and his seeing-eye dog completed a 1,500-mile trek along the 9/11 national memorial trail, physically connecting the pentagon, shanksville, and the twin towers.
when i was at shanksville, we went to the flight 93 memorial and one of the girls whose father had passed away on the plane was there giving a speech, kevin recalled. She was talking about herself in college and how none of her friends even knew or remembered the event. She had to talk to them about it. So, i definitely want to continue to pass along the memory so that everyone never forgets.
sarah wilson emphasized the necessity of teaching their children the significance of the day.
how big the event was. There’s a reason we all remember what we were doing and where we were on that day, said sarah. Just making sure that our kids remember what happened, so it doesnt get lost in future generations.
i realized ‘never forget’ is far more than a slogan. It’s a responsibility, said chief hwang. It is a responsibility to remember the people, to honor those who sacrificed everything for complete strangers and to appreciate every day we have with the people we love. And to teach the next generation that goodness will always be stronger than evil.
living symbols, rare collections
inside station 64, visitors can explore a curated archive of personal artifacts, photographs, and oral histories from september 11, as well as state-level disasters like the 2014 oso mudslide. The interior display also houses a rare photograph honoring the 343 fallen firefighters, one of only two original prints in existence, with the other hanging at fdny headquarters in new york city.
the south king fire 9/11 memorial grounds are located outside station 64, located at 32047 25th ave s in federal way. It’s open to the public year-round for self-guided reflection and remembrance.

| Florida basketball guard Denzel Aberdeen files injunction for fifth season |

Florida basketball senior guard denzel aberdeen is taking his case to return to the basketball court to the judicial courts.
aberdeen has filed a temporary injunction for a fifth season of eligibility to play for the florida gators , according to a report from the field of 68.
“denzel aberdeen, a senior at florida , should be allowed to compete as a student-athlete under the ncaa’s 5-in-5 rule,” aberdeen’s attorney, jesse panuccio, said in a statement provided to the field of 68. “But the ncaa has announced an unwritten exception to its rule that strips class of 2022 students from this policy, even though they competed for years against fifth-, sixth-, and sometimes seventh-year seniors who received covid-era eligibility waivers. The ncaa’s decision violates its contractual commitment to fairness to all student-athletes, and we have sued to vindicate aberdeen’s rights and get him back on the court as he finishes his degree at uf.”
as a member of the class of 2022, aberdeen wasn’t grandfathered into the ncaa’s new 5-for-5 rule, which allows for college athletes to play for five seasons within five years of eligibility.
on july 31, a colorado court ruling by u.S. District court judge charlotte sweeney (tyson, wisne v ncaa) granted an extra year of eligibility to aberdeen and every athlete in the 2022 class without requiring an ncaa waiver. But on august 22, the 10th circuit court of appeals granted a stay in the wisne ruling, which now places the onus back on athletes to fight for their ncaa eligibility in state courts.
florida basketball coach todd golden has come out in support of aberdeen fighting for fifth year of eligibility. Aberdeen re-committed to the gators in april and has been practicing with the team in summer and fall workouts.
“nobody’s lost yet,” golden said. “Now the injunction in colorado was stayed, but nobody’s lost. Everybody in these individual state cases have all won, and i still think denzel is a much better case than all the other random four-for-fours that are trying to come back once the rule was in place.
“denzel re-enrolled in the spring. Denzel is working towards his degree. Denzel him coming to the team didn’t bump anybody off the team. So there’s a lot of things that we did at the beginning, to not have any of these issues that the ncaa is claiming that they’re worried about.”
aberdeen was seeking a waiver from the ncaa based on the fact he played just 41 minutes over 12 games a true freshman during the 2022-23 season.
“people have gotten relief on only playing minutes in games,” golden said. “So when you piece it together, i can’t see any way that they won’t allow him to, or at least a state judge in florida would look at it and be like, this kid’s getting his degree. He’s within the age framework that they just passed, that rule is already passed in dii.
“this isn’t a 25-year-old kid that’s made you know 10 million dollars just trying to come back. So, i still feel as good about it as i did before. We’re just gonna have to work a little harder to do it.”
how denzel aberdeen’s return would impact florida basketball a 6-foot-5 combo guard, aberdeen played the first three seasons of his career at florida, winning a national championship ring for the gators in 2024-25 as a key contributor off the bench (7.7 ppg, 1.4 apg in 39 games).
aberdeen then transferred to kentucky for his senior season in 2025-26, where he enjoyed a breakout senior season for the wildcats, averaging 13.5 points and 3.4 assists while starting 35 of 36 games. A former dr. Phillips high standout, aberdeen returned to uf to complete his undergraduate degree last spring and worked out with the gators over the summer.
if eligible, aberdeen would team with returning point guard boogie fland to form one of the most dynamic and productive starting backcourts in the sec. Paired with the returning frontcourt of all-american forward thomas haugh, all-sec forward alex condon and center and reigning naismith defensive player of the year rueben chinyelu, florida will enter the 2026-27 as one of the top-ranked teams in the country with the goal of winning a second national title in three years. Last season, as a no. 1 seed, florida was upset by 9-seed iowa in the round of 32 of the ncaa tournament.
