we beat canada at their sport and italy beat us at our sport so to restore equilibrium canada must beat italy at bocce

so giving up 3 home runs wasn't ideal, sure, but also maybe don't try throwing easy ground balls into center field, that kind of wound up being important too.

what a wild game

If you'd like to know when that happens, I have a list for that! adept-speaker-2764.kit.com/74ac9bdeff

Also, a writing announcement: I feel pretty confident saying this year's edition of the Future Hall of Fame series will start publishing later this week!

has anyone asked how much republicans are spending to hold an annual retreat at a trump property or has the press just given up on caring about these kinds of unprecedented conflicts of interest?

First thing I think of for this is Sayonara Wild Hearts

Honestly, most of my music discovery at this point is stuff from Bandcamp, highly recommend it www.hchoutofleftfield.com/search/label...

It's Bandcamp Friday. If you need recommendations for music to get, I recently published a playlist article featuring mostly things I found on Bandcamp: www.hchoutofleftfield.com/2026/02/musi...

I had a college professor who somehow got him to come in and speak for the class, he was very dumb. IIRC, I gave up taking notes mid-session and just wrote "none of this is how it works?"

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

excited to announce I will be continuing my 30-year streak of always picking the fire starter!

Cute Cyndaquil from Pokémon Sleep and the text “I must remain whimsical to survive the horrors”.

this is an absolute bald-faced lie, these were the exact consequences of the OBBB, there was a whole, separate side negotiation for an insufficient bail out for rural hospitals in order to get the bill passed and it is not to much to ask the press corpse to remember basic details

oh wow, totally missed that the Yankees are retiring CC Sabathia's #52. Adds to the surprisingly limited set of "retired numbers above #50"

Maybe if I write about baseball, I’ll feel a little better about everything being awful right now… really need to try and convince myself that…

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

If California and other relatively LGBT-friendly states want to be helpful, they're going to need to build a lot more housing.

I do think that SM64 has actually held up pretty well within the genre, too. Controls wonderfully despite being one of the first of its kind. Like, it's obv dated & an early entry in the field (which the historic part helps make up for), but I think it would still get notice today as a small release

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

"criticism of other media people" is a recurring blindspot for her. IIRC, she also got a little defensive of nuzzi, well past the point it was merited

there's a non-zero chance they scrapped it because their internal system said that anything not getting 5 stars was bad, too (which may or may not have been how it was used at implementation)

Giving my newest article + playlist a boost!

Anyway, the big hit "Rain Sounds for Sleeping Pt. 6" comes from a very long and probably overstuffed album, "10 Hours of Continuous Rain Sounds for Sleeping." (Learn to edit, guys!) Don't know why Pt. 6 is the one that blew up, probably a TikTok thing

I think I'm the only person who monitors the Spotify charts closely enough to notice a potentially huge single rising up the charts, it's almost in the top 50 and I'm curious to see how far it can go. Can find nothing about the artist, White Noise Radiance, I don't get how there's so little coverage

The next president should just immediately seize Trump's assets to the dollar value of all of these corrupt emoluments on the grounds that because emoluments are unconstitutional, the money was never Trump's in the first place.

Let him try to get them back in the civil asset forfeiture process.

Sometimes it amazes me how well Back to the Future 2 nailed the Trump presidency

Giving my newest article + playlist a boost!

Yeah, I think people here underrate the probability of "his endorsement got Trump over the line in 2024, partly due to a chunk of voters loving of weird cranks, partly because some other number of swing voters took it as a sign of Trump's Reasonable Bipartisan credentials"
