My grandfather, Oscar Coaston, before he left for the Second World War, had his first professional photographs taken. (The second photo is him and his mother.) He was a crew chief for the 320th Barrage Balloon Unit on D-Day.

It's hard to evaluate because most people who claim to be profitable sports gamblers are touts (people who actually make money selling gambling tips to other gamblers, often in outright scammy ways)

This reminds me of a question I have long had: are there people who are actually good at gambling? Not card games, but say, sports gambling. Are there people who are actually talented at it?

If there's one message I wish I could convey to every single politics posting addict, it's that there is nothing ennobling about being miserable. One of the nice things about doing therapy is realizing there aren't any good principled reasons for feeding your own depression.

Prosecutors can mostly get away with racial exclusion in jury selection as long as they don't do stuff like write "Jew?" in their notes.
Which has been a tougher rule for many of them to follow than you'd think. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/u...

People have been telling me the whole world’s going to hell literally my entire, soon-to-be 38 years long life. But when you try to engage them on (the very real) specific problems we’re facing, you realize they’re not really interested in them at all. They just want to feel the way they feel.
