There is a player on the LA Queens, Brittany Apgar, who has a limb difference and traveled back to Illinois from receiving her first ever batting prosthetic *today* and is 3-for-3 in her first game playing with one. Incredibly cool.

The school that spent $12,000 on golf carts was LSU. And as it is claiming financial hardship and maybe taking on $100 million in private equity, I thought the people should get a good look at ALL its inane expenses. Like the $64,000 football robot. www.foiaball.com/p/lsu-monthl...
Let's save LSU from financial ruin!
What can we trim from its football budget?

David at FOIAball@foiaball.com · last mo.I think I found the perfect example to highlight the financial disparities between P4 and G6 schools. In March, one G6 school spent $12,000 on travel. At a big P4 school that month, it also spent $12,000. On one form of travel. That was its golf cart budget. www.foiaball.com/p/financial-...

Random thing that popped into my head just now: the 1952 LSU season where LSU wore jerseys with a letter-number system. No reason to think about it at all, just a random neuron firing in my brain
It's hard not to be cynical about what's going to happen to Vermillion Parish with this Spacex deal. If I had land out there I would absolutely sell and run away with the cash. Most of that area will be under the gulf in 50 years and the state has clearly abandoned any interest it had in saving it.
A spaceport would reshape this remote community on Louisiana's southwestern coast, bringing potentially thousands of jobs but also construction, noise and other changes. www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/...

I think it's wild that polling is still trusted at all in an age where phone scams mean that the only people who still answer a call from an unknown number are either criminally insane or tremendously dumb. You get so little response data now, and that data itself is mostly detached from reality.
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · yesterdayLooks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
