The WBC is so good. The fact Italy had a little espresso / cheek kiss ritual after homers kills me.

For the later crowd - I wrote about the mechanical and moral decay of the FIFA/EA FC series, the consolidation of the footy sim genre, and how it all mirrors trends in wider sport.

So glad I got the chance to write this. Thx @robzacny.bsky.social for the commission. Subscribe and read if you can!

Leaking material about Clinton allies to the press and writing personal memoirs?

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Enclosing the Virtual Pitch The consolidation of soccer video games, and the capture of a pastime.

Here’s @samuelhorti.bsky.social on how the consolidation of soccer video games has mirrored the capture of the sport itself by some of the worst actors on the world stage. remapradio.com/other/enclos...

Remember in Deep Space 9 when the Defiant exhausted a power core they held a ceremony explaining how its sacrifice paralleled their own Sisyphean struggle? That’s me when it’s time to throw away a scrub daddy.

I suspect weird activity with inverse funds tracking oil prices will be a little clearer. Whenever they decided to call this off, I bet you a bunch of people woke up that day and decided they needed -3x leverage on oil.

I am curious was there weird activity with the oil futures market in advance of this war, or is all the scamming happening on prop betting websites? Or do we just not even register obvious insider training and market manipulation now at this point?

Also Malukas is a Chicago boy. Zero chance he can’t house meat. This was not driver error.

This doesn’t happen in F1, which is why Indycar has a strong claim to being the superior sport.

People need to understand that at the end of the Indy race David Malukas accepted some brisket from the sponsor, Good Ranchers. He popped it in his mouth and for the next 3m30 he chewed on it, attempting to wash it down with champagne. The broadcast ended before he could make himself swallow it.

Oh wow that Aussie curse for at the GP is extremely real huh?

There’s an anti Tabasco movement? I can get where people are just bored with it because it is omnipresent but it’s pretty excellent!

It also helps that all the teams are legitimately trying to win in the WBC which is not true of most MLB franchises.

That’s the thing that’s really struck me. These pool games matter so much to some of these squads! You may not have a chance of winning the whole thing but a hated rival in your group? Everything is getting left on the field.

This is good info because I just bought my first bottle of Mike’s and was like, β€œThis could be zestier.” We need Goldilocks’ Mike’s Hot Honey.

OK Korea-Japan at the WBC was the most exciting sports I’ve seen since Bears-Rams. What a game. What an event! How can MLB regular season compete with something like this?

This sucks. One of the best critics working, and a major reason I kept a subscription over there. Normally I’d warn people who dangerous this bookstore is to your wallet but now your impulsive decisions instantly become cool film and TV supplemental material and they help great people.

β€œNothing is beyond God,” says one of the Women of the Bible to a guy who looks like he just came from getting booked for sex crimes.

Getting exposed to a lot of C-tier Fox programming watching the WBC. Dying at this miniseries Faithful: Women of the Bible and they flash REBEKAH HAGAR LEAH on the screen in succession like it’s the most hype fucking thing you could imagine.

That’s funny because I’ve heard commentators say the engines sound nicer, have a better note, but that might not preclude them being quieter. Might also explain why you can hear all the PU components so clearly

Post op, Mitch keeps sending us the same picture of his dog sleeping on the couch with his littermate. We like it every time and say something like, β€œWhat cuties!” And he says, β€œBabies!” Then the morphine hits and the thread goes quiet for a bit.

Both. The F1TV feed has a bit more dynamic range and is probably the better mix but I do love me Croft and Brundle

Well on the app you can toggle audio tracks and hear them.

Whoever did the audio mix and mic placements for F1TV for Australia, you’re geniuses. Really hear differences in cars’ power units and the decision to locate the battery recovery sound in the rear channels? Chef kiss.
