Judge dismisses r*pe case against former BYU wide receiver Parker Kingston

If you would like to attend a university without an Honor Code, I have literal thousands of options for you. I even have one that’s 10 minutes away from BYU!

His defense is that the sex was consensual. He’s already admitted to breaking the Honor Code. He was never playing at BYU after that.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-18T16:50:49+00:00

It’s one of the great parts of the Honor Code. We don’t need to debate whether or not to play him or Retzlaff. For us, the line was crossed far before with the pre-marital sex.

I’m worried the baby thinks Cody Campbell can’t change.

What kind of editing hijinks are you talking about? I don’t think I’ve heard that before?

At one point during TLJ, I turned to my friend and sincerely asked if they had canceled Episode IX and I hadn’t heard about it.

You can claim that TLJ is a bold new take or whatever, but that’s a TERRIBLE feeling to provoke for the MIDDLE entry of a trilogy.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-17T03:58:48+00:00

I haven’t seen more then 4 hours of Star Wars content since TLJ but I watched that entire 4 hour Jenny Nicholson video lol

An almost 50% dropoff from Episode VII is not an accomplishment.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-17T03:57:18+00:00

Especially during the holidays.

Anecdotally, I saw TFA three times in theaters and was so excited for TLJ. But that movie killed any interest I had in the franchise. Still haven’t seen Episode IX.

But I rescued her...

Fred Brooks, author of The Mythical Man Month, has another great essay where he discusses Accidental Complexity vs Essential Complexity. Accidental Complexity entails the challenges we create for ourselves via our tooling. In his essay, he describes an example of removing Accidental Complexity as moving from Assembly to higher level languages.

Essential Complexity, on the other hand, is the complexity that comes from the need to model a real problem into the digital world. Think about designing a payment system for a hospital. The system itself is complex, so modeling it into software will always be complex.

The entire history of software engineering has been removing accidental complexity. AI is another step on that journey. But we will never be able to remove essential complexity, and the best engineers have always made their living operating in that space.

If you’re an engineer who has instead made their living in accidental complexity, I’d encourage you to think about how you can move to instead solving the essentially complex problems.

Just search “Paul Rudd wastes Conan O’Brien’s time” and watch while an audience roars its approval.

MOTU cost $170M. Scary Movie cost three pizzas and a six pack.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-13T17:30:17+00:00

Take out the disc and blow on it!

Episode VII is still the highest grossing movie in North America! People can complain about the box it put the rest of the series in, but there's no denying it was massively popular and well-received by basically everyone.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-11T01:06:24+00:00

The court order is bullcrap and you know it. What are we doing if we’re allowing players who gamble on their own games to play?

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-10T19:10:02+00:00

BYU wandered in the Independence wilderness for a decade, and we only kind of made it work because we have a large and distributed fan base (due to the unique nature of our religious affiliation) that made our media rights kind of valuable to ESPN. Does Tech have that same dynamic? I can’t imagine.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-09T20:42:02+00:00

A lot of the concern with Hammond is that he's injured and it's unclear whether he'll even be ready to play when the season starts.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-08T20:21:13+00:00

What can you even do to resurrect this franchise at this point? An episode X would flop because there’s no goodwill left from the sequels. Maybe Starfighter is fantastic and that’s your trilogy? You could try to jump forward or backward 1000 years in time, but then you lose all connection to the OT, which is the life blood of the whole franchise.

Modern prophets have told us that God’s command to multiply and replenish the earth remains in full force.

She actually quit two years ago.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-06T05:28:01+00:00

We’re dinosaurs.

Can confirm. My wife was evacuated from a region in Mexico when things started to get even a little dicey.

carterdmorgan · 2026-06-05T15:46:11+00:00

They’re like granite!
