I'm not sure how to prepare you for quite literally the goofiest looking hit-by-pitch I've ever seen

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.
The US Army realised in 1941, as it spooled up for war, that it needed around 500,000 typewriters to function. so great was the need that they had to requisition and ration them. HALF A MILLION. Equivalent to 40% of the entire US domestic supply at the time. Logtics wins wars.

Sports only works if fans trust the game. The more teams directly partner with prediction markets, the more they risk blurring the line between competition and the money being made off predicting it.
Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
the Green Bay Packers should be the model and that is precisely why they changed the bylaws so they will never be the model
burn it all down@russbengtson.bsky.social · 2mo agothe big problem with sports franchise valuations skyrocketing and continuing to do so is that the only people who can afford to be team owners anymore are the worst fuckin people on earth. unfortunately this also applies to every other company in every other industry.
obsessed with Ian Flemming's daily schedule - swim - brunch - write 1500 words no edits just freestyle - lobster hunting - pink gin - lunch - siesta - sit in garden - another swim - 500 more words - "a couple of powerful drinks" - dinner - scrabble with wife - sleep
Thinking about how Osprey, a publishing house almost entirely devoted to publishing military uniform/equipment fetish material disguised as dry but picture heavy non-fiction tomes, put out a book dismantling the right wing mythologization of Sparta with an absolute all-timer table of contents.
I'm watching in germany. The German commentators kept quiet for nearly the whole thing until suddenly the shot widened and we just hear with a German accent, "Oh, Miss Piggy"

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Not the use of the word "detained" here to make it appear as though the settlers have some legal capacity to be doing this. If i ran up on a US Rep with a rifle and prevented them from leaving it would be, correctly, described as kidnapping; and doing so with political ends would be terrorism.

Folarin Balogun, who is a US citizen because he was born here, scores a go-ahead goal for the US team in a knockout game. Score one for birthright citizenship.

The Zlatan and Thierry just VIBING, with Lalas only featured long enough to get got. I love it. Right into my veins.
Playing on their turf never ever wins, not morally, not politically. Here's a response: "this is a wedge issue targeting kids, getting into their doctors' decisions. Next, they'll come for your hysterectomy, your vasectomy. And it's because they can't talk about the economy." Say Fuck You back
gwen howerton@kissphoria.bsky.social · 4mo agoTalarico saying he's against "gender reassignment surgery for minors" to lots of nodding and impressed gestures from the Barro/Yglesias crowd and a lot of the politics press is, I think, a great example of how much the well has been poisoned on trans healthcare
"Since 1988, we’ve been waiting for the future to arrive at Little League concession stands and any place that smells like popcorn and feet. But now that the future is here, we regret to announce that we are extremely disappointed."
