??? why is RFK Jr. going to the doctor for a surgery when he could simply eat a variety of weird meats at his injury

The last thing I want to do is discourage people from being their own weird selves, especially as they engage with art on a personal level.
That said, people in business and politics could probably stand to hear "What the fuck are you talking about, man?" more frequently than they do now

Weren’t about to let Rutgers upstage them

“I’m sorry, who are you?”

that ny times "ai or human author" test was designed in a lab to make bluesky posters apoplectic and generate a ton of engagement from us. that the topic of AI can be used that way is kind of more interesting than the AI itself

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

Ondřej Satoria, whose fastball is around 78 mph, pitches a remarkable 4 2/3 shutout innings against Samurai Japan, the best team in the world.

Pavel Chadim bows and the crowd erupts. As he leaves the field, he turns around to take it all in. His national team career is now over

“Any concern teams have is more toward MiLBers. They're often less [conversant] in English–and don’t travel with the same privilege that MLBers do.

Suárez said he knows of two who stayed in the US this offseason rather than [go home] to Venezuela, for fear they wouldn’t be allowed to return.”

One member of an MLB team who did not want to talk publicly because of the sensitive nature of the subject said he fears it will take a high-profile incident involving a player, “something bad,” before the league gets more proactive in protecting its personnel. “I pray that doesn’t happen,” he said.

This passage, from the same story, seems like a far more accurate read of the situation. MLB only reacts. It's never proactive about negative or controversial matters.

“Look, obviously I worry about anything that could be disruptive to the very best players in the world being out on the field," Manfred said in response to a question from The Enquirer. "But the prospect of that disruption, given that our players all had visas, it’s speculation at this point.” The Enquirer has reached out to the commissioner's office twice in recent weeks to see whether anything has changed but has not received a response.

Are they so overlooked by other teams that they come at a discount? Is it that their contact skills tend to be better, and that fits the Brewers' mold? Is he targeting fast guys and landing on these players? Is there anything here? President of baseball operations Matt Arnold was asked from a picnic table near a kettle corn stand at American Family Fields of Phoenix. "No," Arnold said. Well then. "I don't really care what they look like," Arnold continued. "Just play good. They're good players, they just happen to come in different packages."

I am HOWLING this article is amazing

I remember when it used to require multiple blood sacrifices for Wisconsin to get a win at Mackey, so I won't take winning 3 out of the last 4 there for granted.

That is literally not how it works. Single stair mid-rise buildings are a fixture everywhere in the developed and developing world.

The U.S. is a petulant outlier in all things urban planning so stop letting The New York Times tell you to ignore the evidence of your own eyes

Aaaaand sure enough, the current projection…

This is one of those years where it’s either an Elite Eight run or a first round loss to the Atlantic Sun champion with no in between, that’s the Magic of March

Last night’s game was a crazy fun watch and I’m going to laugh nervously when Wisconsin gets stuck playing them in the first round

That’s in the Allegheny in Pittsburgh

Aaaaand there’s why the Brewers traded him

It was fun while it lasted.

MLB told the Brewers they couldn't use any aid that isn't in the spirit of the rule.
