I hope someone asked him whether he would forgive Hunter Biden if he had raped his daughter.

I am familiar with the Profumo affair, just not in much of the details. I should watch the Prime series they have about it to catch me up on those.

Of course, how silly of me. 😉

Livvy Dunne >>>>> Kate Upton.

Skenes is also the Golden Goose for that entire franchise.

It's not escaping my notice that the self-proclaimed Worldwide Leader in Sports™ is advocating a far higher price for the flyover team than for the Los Angeles or New York teams.

Yeah, probably, but the difference between Riley and Julio is so great that the Comerica Park left field alone almost certainly couldn't be enough to explain it.

DRS, OAA, FRV, which ever letters you like, Julio is just better. He positions better, he covers more ground, and he has a better arm. That’s OK, Riley is outhitting Julio by a mile, and the Tigers are ten games better than the M’s.

Julio is a premier defender in all facets. Riley is average-ish. Fangraphs has Riley up on Julio 2.9 to 2.4.

Good thing he's too stupid to know what he's doing. 1 big thing: Trump's early Christmas present Photo Illustration: Allie Carl/Axios. Photo: NurPhoto via Getty Images Christmas shoppers got a gift of sorts from the White House this week when President Trump again paused new tariffs, Axios' Emily Peck writes. The shift should give retailers more time to stockpile goods ahead of the holiday season, potentially pushing some tariff-related price increases to next year. 🗓️ Where it stands: If higher rates do go into effect Aug. 1 — the White House's new deadline — it's likely that consumers won't feel a difference until the new year, Paul Donovan, chief economist at UBS Wealth Management, wrote in a note. 🚢 How it works: Goods en route to the U.S. as late as Aug. 1 should be exempt from additional tariffs, Donovan said. Because it can take as many as six weeks to move ships across the Pacific, some items could arrive as late as mid-September and still be tariffed at the lower rate. Retailers stockpile ahead of the Christmas season — and have been doing so earlier than usual this year to avoid higher tariffs. Go deeper.

Vignettes ads on my iPhone appear about once in every three to five or so clicks. On my iPad, though, I can't recall whether I've seen any at all. Strange because they are supposed to be mirror operating systems, or so I would assume.

Feature not bug

Fun fact: Kevin McGonigle is a 37th over all pick.

When I first saw this I thought, i would definitely take Carroll before Riley. Looking at the records side by side they’re a lot closer than on all fronts that I thought, except running. If Riley can stay off the List, they might end up with really similar careers and shots at the Hall.

At least forecasting works for Ted Cruz since he always seems to go on vacation right before weather disasters strike the state he purportedly represents.

He’s done a hell of a job of setting them all up to either do his bidding or else.

There's no question that Flaherty is having a bad year, but there might be a tiny bit of light coming through the cracks. Flaherty's FIP- is kinder to him than his ERA-; and his fWAR is better than his RA9-WAR. That said, his Statcast and PitchingBot Stuff cards are blue as the sea, dramatically different from last season. I do think Hinch is still a long way from bailing on him, although putting some space between Flaherty and Skubal might be a sign. If he continues at this pace, he might end up being the spot starter in October.

All true. And it's working far better than anyone, possibly except he, could have imagined.

He knows what he's doing.

The main thing I don't like about Elon's swing is that it will be focused on balancing the budget by maximizing cruelty to ordinary Americans while decreasing skin in the game for his upper class.

Very 80s hand-banging arena rock-ish so I can see why you prefer that one!

I don't think anybody here is arguing he is such a genius. Anyhow, as I said, I understand that people don't agree with this.

I try to maintain ~165 lbs. When I go into the 150s I feel weak. When I go into the 170s I feel fat (because of belly protrusion). It's a delicate balance. When I was trying to lose weight I would cut my calories by 500 a day, so instead of the 2,250 or so I normally had taken in, I would take in 1,750. That way I could lose about a pound a week (3,500-kcal deficit equals one pound; 500 kcal per day * 7 days = 3,500 kcal). Losing weight gradually is one of the better ways to keep the weight off permanently, so you don't end up boomeranging. But now that I am monitoring my sodium intake (via MyFitnessPal, arguably the greatest phone app on the planet), to your point, I don't retain water like I used to and now I have to focus on getting enough calories, rather than reducing calories. Good problem to have? You tell me. 😁
