Feature not bug. 😏

Yeah, what about Biden?

The Twitter trolls can’t be 100% located on foreign soil, can they? They can certainly be both US-based and backed by foreign benefactors. Heck, we have a federal government lousy with people like that.

Isn’t that why Hegseth is going after Kelly now? Same reason the child predators are desperate to hang Epstein on the Democrats when all the evidence point to themselves. Page one of the Projection Playbook.

So much for the Hire the Most ****able-Looking Candidate strategy.

I saw the first two episodes last night and I am so here for it. I have strong speculation about what happens next but I can’t say because I am two eps behind and don’t want to spoil it for people coming in behind me. Also, can I just tell you: I have graduated from a 59” 1080p TV from 2010 with a 30hz refresh rate to a 2025 65” 4K TV with a 120hz refresh rate and, I gotta tell ya, talk about night and day difference. The smoothness of motion and the 4K filming make it look as close to live as I could ever have imagined.

Players typically want more years with more total money versus fewer years with even much higher AAV, so, I would regard it as highly doubtful he would take that.

Meaning you think I’m right, or full of beans?

If Boras goes off-script and agrees to the Tigers signing Skubal to a long-term deal, I would take that to mean that he’s hearing scuttlebutt inside leading him to believe owners will win the new contract negotiations pretty handily.

I think because of his recent two Cy Youngs, there’s a recency bias for writers to cast votes for Skubal, so I would think a season that garners him a, say, sixth-place finish for the Cy Young would garner the average non-award-winning pitcher a tenth-place finish in award voting. IOW, if he were to drop to sixth, I would think his season would be worse than the typical sixth-place CYA finisher.

Michigan! Snip snip!

A couple of pretty interesting maps.

I miss the days when I was dismissed for posting "Alarmist Non-sense" suggesting something like travel-pattern driver surveillance might happen under Trump.

On the Somalian allegation, forgive me if I don't take the word of some random twitterbot at face value. So you're right—it does make my blood boil to see such lies so blithely perpetrated.

A couple things jumping out at me about this one in particular: Three username changes in a year and a half?? Remember when the blue checkmark meant something?

And even this is probably on the lesser side of the spectrum of objectionable for this crew.

She is a legit snack. Also, can I just tell you how pretty girls in baseball caps just rev me up? Yeah, I know it's a Yankees cap, but she's from there, so of course I'll allow it ...

I don’t know why Elon would engage in an act of such self-sabotage, but his decision to show country of origin might become the really big deal needed to spur real action against malign foreign influence on American politics and governance.

We bought a 25” Sony flat screen TV in 4:3 back in 2001 (specifically in time to watch the debut of Billy Crystal’s 61*), just before the HDTVs started coming out in earnest, and I swear to you, it must have weighed close to 100 pounds. We replaced it only two years later with our first 50” flat screen, which also must have weighed 100 pounds. We just bought a new 65” Samsung OLED flat screen this past Friday, with a screen roughly the width of a plate of glass, and it must be less than half the weight of that old Sony.

Boo kidney beans. 😉

This is as close to a walk-off homer as you’re going to see in football. I acknowledge that field goals and touchdowns, i.e., scoring to win games, is in that way more akin to homering to win games. But those are usually resolutions to developing situations. A walk-off sack, like a walk-off homer, is rather a relatively unexpected event, something that ends that game in the sort of exhilarating, out of the blue manner that a field goal lacks. In that vein, a walk-off pick six is more like a walk-off sack than a walk-off field goal.

Game situation notwithstanding, ten years ago, twenty for sure, we would have been slack-jawed after watching a franchise record-breaking field goal of 59 yards. Nowadays it seems as though there’s a field goal of 59 yards or longer every other week.

Giants also had a late in the fourth quarter lead on the Packers.

Here is the original long form article as first reported by AP. This is a long read, so make sure you have the time. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-patrol-surveillance-drivers-ice-trump-9f5d05469ce8c629d6fecf32d32098cd#
