Honestly at this point in my life I'm very much why the hell would I go to a mid-tier chain restaurant when every city in the US with a population over 5,000 has a probably kickass locally-owned Mexican restaurant that serves better food much cheaper

Why are there not more espresso machines in dugouts?

If a team challenges a call that a player gets a tech on, and wins, the tech should be rescinded. That is all.

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

I know we’re all killing the us manager today but I just got confused 10 seconds ago into watching the WBC.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a β€œrigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

He should have walked away after the first. They blew the call, but to go back to the ref after the 1st t, poor judgment on Jaylen's part. But yeah, as a Celtics fan, it stinks.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

The Hawks should have an Irresponsible Gambling Night sponsored by Kalshi

That’s more in line with NBA ethics

You read enough non-feminist bioethics (especially non-feminist Jewish and Catholic bioethics, IME) and you can recognize this kind of argument for what it is from miles away. For "coffee," read "abortion," "birth control," "gender-affirming care," "uncloseted queer people existing in public," etc.

Fair play to the Quakers for being seen as a threat to the English state for a solid 375 years.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!
