I rarely watch ESPN. Normally, I only see it when I go into a restaurant that happens to have it on. It feels like every time it's on in my presence, there's this guy who looks like "if Adam Scott were a gym bro with silver hair". Is he, like, the only commentator they have left?

As an occasional Mets fan (especially when they're playing the Yankees or anyone in the AL East apart from Tampa Bay)... I'm in.

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.

not only that, they are demanding that they not be called racist when they are observed to be signing up to support the racist

I don’t think anyone is ready for the storm of neurodivergent rage that is brewing. We have a whole class of people we’ve trained to analyze systems and use that knowledge to make things happen, and you’re going to take away their pipettes and mass specs? They’re 100% intrinsically motivated.

Primary elections today. I'm not registered with either major party, and my state has closed primaries. But I still had judges, city councillors, and school board members to vote for, so you bet your ass I did it.

A Flock camera had to have written this. Interesting that they acknowledge that there are problems and legitimate concerns, but spend the entire article actively avoiding addressing them.

Privacy and civil-rights groups call the Flock Safety police cameras an Orwellian threat to the Fourth Amendment—but such cameras “can help make the criminal-justice system both fairer and less punitive—if we let them,” Charles Fain Lehman argues:

There must be guidelines from the FAA that encourages airlines & airports to schedule layovers so those with the least time between flights will be required to trek the furthest to reach their next gate. Conversely, my layover is 3-hours. My next gate is directly adjacent to the one I arrived at.
