This town of Robotnye is a psychological gateway. If Ukraine can gain that this week, that would be a huge threshold.

Parts of Michigan are freakier than Amsterdam

Tech dudes man...not the most common sense.

shocking that i’m on the same side as Mark Cuban

not cool

I wish we had the Twin's inferior record.

they appear to be picking up the movement on the pitches really well this inning.

Is anyone tracking this Joe Rogan meathead attack on the vaccine guy? Whoever would take advice from that lump of coal is a fool.

My Korea time was a month in Jan 2000 (weird time to be anywhere given Y2K scare), I was part of a team monitoring Ulche Focus Lense -- a major exercise. As I recall, the big news story was the Cuban kid that was being forcibly repatriated to Cuba from Miami. What I learned from Korea: Do not get stuck on the night shift for a wargame if you intend to sleep during the day and Koreans are holding elections where they use loudspeakers on the backs of trucks and the candidate speechifies for an hour in the street in front of the Hotel Asia in the town by Osan AB. Sunday morning is just a state of mind when every night is Saturday night to the US GIs. Saw many dudes swinging from lamp posts and carousing as I drove into the AB for the wargame every morning. The "land of not quite right" was on its way out but there were still a lot of ridiculous engineering situations. (e.g., Heating pipes across the threshold of doors that you had to step over). Korea had excellent, excellent wide scale internet then. I understand it was only improved since. Russian girls were dancing in all the establishments where young idiots with security clearances might dispense with their senses. The dust from China was everywhere. Yellow tint to cars, windows.

as did this guy today

I heard Joel Zumaya broke his forearm helping old ladies across the street and putting out devil's night fires.

i heard a lot of both kinds of stories. USAF stories about Clark Field and USN stories about Subic Bay in the Philippines were also a staple.

South African government was trying to undermine international law.

and the entire country including those who are not members of nutter far-right racialist groups are in the fight.

its weird over there.

So, you must have some 'soldiers throwing each other through windows of bars' stories

I listened to the Hacks on Tap podcast the other day and they marveled at his ability to debate. Basically, his native Jerseyness.

Lots of barrels in that 9th inning for the Tigers. Only 1 run but it feels good.

Vierling second deck

Me: What's your favorite literary vampire? She: The one from Sesame Street. Me: That one doesn't count! She: I can assure you he does.

Maton is gonna get himself killed bunting after a 3 run HR.

CROW eaten

Clearly i'm on a delay.

Baez has that: I'm-going-to-strike-out-like-an-idiot thing going in this AB
