Apparently she actually just did a different Odyssey column for the Atlantic? Gotta respect a freelancer getting work at multiple outlets off the same project.

It is so genuinely interesting to me that Saudi Arabia is cutting back so much of its frivolous cultural spending, but the EA acquisition still went through and Lucid is still getting new funding.

This is the Chargers relocation playbook and Adam Silver needs to have a spine where the NFL didn't. He needs to crush it by force. That league was at least allowing its teams to do that to prop up another LA push, this wouldn't even give the NBA that.
@wrightkatu.bsky.social · 17h agoNEW: Internal emails obtained by KATU show Portland Trail Blazers leaders debated whether to respond to the City of Portland's questions on key pieces of a proposed Moda Center deal, with one executive saying the city's requests felt like "a trap”. katu.com/news/investi...
I'm in an English Lotus for sale group on Facebook for some reason and every week I am greeted by someone named Daffydd selling something that would be worth $40,000 here for 15,000 GBP. It is not good for my brain at all.
Everyone in these games generally gets an official portrait from the character designer and I think it's important to stress that Anatolia here's official portrait is her showing off the gun and her shoulder holster

My brain is now cooked enough that I just considered $6.09 gas a good deal
Imagining a guy who describes a PIF acquisition as "nationalizing"
NINTENDO DIRECT ENGLISH V/O: *low register* In a world ruled by dragon blood, a hero must rise and slay Wyverniax… NINTENDO DIRECT ENGLISH V/O: *next slide, in high register* Return to Stinktown with your buddies as you wield the new Megaplunger! But watch out…something reeks!!
Soon the whole world will be cars entered to fulfill series obligations required to enter some customer GT3 cars in the big ones
Sportscar365@sportscar365.com · yesterdayIMSA is evaluating the possibility of mandating all active GTD manufacturers in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship to also have a car in the GTD Pro class, beginning as early as next year.
Finally, confusing route structures and convoluted time travel in Fire Emblem
I can prove that IMSA is a good thing for the world and my proof is that David Ellison could just be in an LMP2 car right now. Instead, we get the modern Paramount.
cop: did he send any texts around the time of the crash? cop 2: he sent a post that reads "padding my three track album with 26 skits and interludes" cop: not bad but it ain't going viral cop 2: posting isn't just about going viral cop: (sighs) not this shit again
Really hope it’s Russell Westbrook. I want that guy in Darius Acuff’s contacts for the rest of his career.
Love deadline day baseball. There's nothing like seeing the weird guys teams have to fit into the starting lineup to accommodate all their pending roster moves.
Look, I love Alpine but I’m pretty sure this was always going to be niche play whether it wants to be or not. The exclusivity of Alfa Romeos and Maseratis is not really a positive, you know? www.roadandtrack.com/news/a733345...
Alpine Wants to Be More Like Ferrari Than Porsche in Sales As It Plans Expansion into Canada, U.S.A.
The next A110 is coming to America, but Alpine isn’t planning on going with a volume-focused SUV push.

I'm going to be the first person with an entirely new observation. Are we all ready for it? Okay here it is. It's cold in the mornings in San Francisco, even on days when it will later get pretty hot!
Frankly rude of Nintendo to do this on a Tuesday and not on my birthday four days earlier

This has to be a new low for guys not believing in documented things. The moon landing at least happened somewhere else! Babe Ruth was the most famous guy in America. He played baseball in front of cameras. This is like saying you don't believe in Teddy Roosevelt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, or Mae West.
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 2d agojust woke up to the Jays are buying at the deadline and Pete Crow-Armstrong thinks Babe Ruth was made-up
Catching up on the news. Can someone explain to me what we're doing here?
She’s a seventh year bench guard pouring in eight a night on efficient role play, it’s less Draymond and more like if we all had to hear about what Gary Payton II had to think about everything

Loving the long white flag lap under caution to declare a bunch of random penalties that change the podium in 3 of 4 classes
Paul di Resta is so lucky that the cars in second and third did mutually assured destruction in turn 1 right after he did that
