mid-set is where i live. no opener, no closer, no encore needed - just blow me away with the best mid-set ever. only psychopaths proclaim autumn to be the best season.

why are people so certain they’ll make any endorsement other than to stay home and not vote?

this is good evolution for MLB’s hall voting, which historically excluded most first-ballot worthy HoFers because of self-centered and self-imposed guardianship reasons.

i hate lying, but politically it’s okay to walk right up against the line. and maybe dems wouldn’t be dems if they embraced the right’s tactics but it’s certainly worth finding out at this point.

NYT’s gamble is that profits were highest when Maggie was running the comms department for the white house, but they’ll be unscathed in that scenario or any other. this is the equivalent of a 9-team parlay combined with a two game teaser.

i assume it was pointed out to this aspiring gentleman that non-tag side is for above the shoulders and tag-side is for everything below.

my three favourites are the first three in this list because of limited crowds, especially isle royale. loathe articles that highlight less crowded places. hopefully people take the boat to IR and regret their life decisions.

what the NYT did today is shameless. no basic easy fact check, comments turned off, no meaningful retraction, removal, or apology, and that’s before you consider they platformed a full-blown fascist. this feels like the Hulk Hogan leg drop on Savage & joining NWO for those who support journalism.

i tip well - maybe too well at certain times because i inappropriately think certain favours (‘non-POS’ craft beer orders) will come my way. the delivery food service though is wrong - tips should be based upon distance/time not order cost. i mean, what are you actually delivering versus driving?

seeing orgs like the heritage foundation align its dominos makes it clear that the extremists have mastered the art of horse whispering, which literally could be worse than than that future competent authoritarian we all feared 6-7 years ago.

i can guarantee that 90% of that unintentional comedy is going to come from Marshawn being his awesome self, and the other 10% will be Newsom being ironic in a completely lack-of-self-awareness fashion.

rubes who will not only tie their own blindfold and vote, but also financially support an absolute deft candidate vs the incoherent left which will never organize in a meaningful political fashion nor ever vote in their better interests. and some wonder why horseshoes don’t connect.

this still applies at the local fm/am talk stations. it’s not complete, but progress is being made nationally & to some extent locally on the journalistic level. the complaints about player salary demands die a slow death with each passing year. siriusxm NHL is a bastion for nuance.

i agree. deliberate centrists have no cred either. was thinking more along the lines of Nichols, Miller, and Alberta. ran away from trump early on, are still conservative, but even if they don’t want to admit they’ve softened on the Reagan altar of worship.

a lot of these articles are via never-trump conservatives (who i respect even if i disagree with at times) that also sold us a couple wars on a credit card along with the belief that twitter was resemblant of normies in the 2020 election. so call me skeptical.

add to that a lot of horse races aren’t really that close, and the field versus the favourite is a better bet if such a wager were offered.

one might think that selling the Supersonics to oil tycoons in Oklahoma would play a part of that. but, no. he was loathed for various other reasons.

sometimes i think what hampers this place from growing more is that, for those of us who always swam the main current at the other place and never ventured down distributaries we (low followers/don’t know who to follow) are generally confused as to who to follow without getting lost in a spillway.

i took my daily mirtazapine early and slept through the debate. apparently Biden was awful and in our collective short term memories this is actually going to somehow matter in late summer. meanwhile i scream into the ever-present fall doldrums, can the Dems just fucking work the refs like the R’s?

some local scandals will always cement longer in the mind than national ones. a young man named Dean Letourneau was just drafted in the nhl, and i can’t be the only PNW native who spent 10-minutes search-engining his parents. you know, just to see.

personally, i think the more alarming takeaway from the article is a bunch of full-time Paris inhabitants threatening to defecate in the Seine because it doesn’t have a sufficient amount of E. coli?

if you’re running someone like Tom Nichols from this place because he presents view points that are worthy of debate and are presented in earnest then that’s a reflection of you - someone who probably doesn’t care about freedom of legitimate thought unless it suits yourself. why do you do this?

i am not a truck guy, but after touring this retired guy’s new GMC Sierra 1-ton Duramax in the parking lot of the pub there is just no way one rationally opts to drop 100k on a cybertruck over an engineering marvel that provides both luxury and graceful utility. hats off to you GM.

twitter’s fake metrics lead them to believe it’s still the platform with most visibility and interaction. most comments are from bots or people who don’t bother reading the articles. it’s a shell of its former self for journalists. sports is all it’s really good for.

baseball is a meandering sport with occasional avulsions. one day it will shift where hitters no longer take down-the-pipe fastballs only to swing at off-plate sliders on the next pitch. and, low fastballs will become desirable pitches. eventually, batting average will once again matter.

One was, that in order to be a pilot a man had got to learn more than any one man ought to be allowed to know; and the other was, that he must learn it all over again in a different way every twenty-four hours.”

there’s 4 teams on that list with at least three titles since 2000. so it’s essentially bragging about setting the record for most singles in a MLB season.

britain forever forfeited their self-imposed dignified superiority when they created a system that allowed surrounding european countries and the US to simultaneously loathe them b/c of airport/customs regulations. allowing 4L of alcohol doesn’t negate the shit you all did.
