With the demise of both ADS and Polyglot, does anyone know of any functioning, supported VSCode extension that can bundle PowerShell and T-SQL in a Jupyter notebook?

Why am I still awake

Youth sports were doomed when they got sucked into the hypercompetitive college admissions game. Soccer practice used to be a way to kill time after school until you could leave work to pick your kid up; now it's another thing your kid must excel at or they aren't getting into Yale.

the obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.

MacArthur did not care about the lives of the people serving under him. it was all for his own glory.

I can’t believe we’re doing another cycle of pretending to have a deal with Iran. This is so stupid.

Hall & Oates - Sara Smile

Daryl Hall and John Oates, often referred to as Hall & Oates, are an American musical duo. Daryl Hall is generally the lead vocalist; John Oates primarily plays electric guitar and provides backing vocals. The two write most of the songs they perform, separately or in collaboration. They achieved their greatest fame from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s with a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues. Hall and Oates have sold an estimated 40 million records, making them the best selling music duo in history. They are best known for their six No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private Eyes", "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", "Maneater", and "Out of Touch", as well as many other songs which charted in the Top 40 including the single "You Make My Dreams". In total, they had 34 chart hits on the US Billboard Hot 100, seven RIAA platinum albums, and six RIAA gold albums. Billboard magazine named them the most successful duo of the rock era, surpassing Simon & Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers. They have enjoyed moderate success in the United Kingdom with two UK top ten albums, spending a total of one-hundred and seventeen weeks in the UK top 75 album charts and eighty-four weeks in the top seventy-five of the UK Singles Chart. In 2003, Hall and Oates were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Billboard magazine had Hall and Oates at No. 15 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time and the No. 1 duo, while VH1 placed the duo as No. 99 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014. On September 2, 2016, they received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?

‘We Ran Out of Space’: Bodies Pile Up as N.Y. Struggles to Bury Its Dead (Gift Article)

The coronavirus crisis is overwhelming New York’s system for burying the dead.

I think the hardest part about the rehashing of this Covid stuff is having lost one of the most important people in my life to Covid. Going on social media and seeing some critical care nurse spout off about how “we were always right” and “I was just fine”. Fuck you. Deeply and profoundly.

Probably more to do with the shitty parents if we're being honest

Breaking News: Ross Douthat, The New York Times opinion columnist, is joining CBS News’s “60 Minutes” in one of the first major hires since Bari Weiss’s takeover.

Just about everyone I know is a snack getting stuck in a vending machine away from total collapse.

Never been a fan of Walt Weiss, and I can’t imagine anyone on the #Braves like him right now. I grew up in Rockland when he was a baseball star and Seth Joyner was a football star, and it always rubbed me the wrong wrong way how the Journal News followed his every at bat and ignored Joyner #MetsSky

There is a special place in hell for sales people that take advantage of others.

Just watched 8 minutes of this #Mets game and I want to throw things at the tv #MetsSky

It's impressive how many ethical quandaries can be solved by asking yourself, "Would Weird Al be cool with this?"

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.
