If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz
Exxon couldn't figure out how to control access to the sun.
The question I'd like to ask Silver is, If we do all this work to update the MODA Center and keep the Blazers here, can we finally host an All Star Game? Aside from Sacramento we're the only city to never have done so.
Oh, 100%.
Phil's an old school business Republican. I don't think he likes Drazan and the other MAGA candidates any more than he likes Kotek, he just wants tax cuts for rich people and businesses. In 2012 he got Kitzhaber to called special session for give NIKE a 30-year tax break.

I reread the Sharpe books last year but stopped at Waterloo for that reason. Then I started in with Master and Commander again, and boy is there a big difference in the writing.

This is the way.
Counterpoint - No they shouldn't. Would Kobe have stopped at 100 if he'd reached it? I think we all know the answer to that.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

It should go without saying that I, a living author who writes about the glories of human-produced language _and_ a professional editor to boot, would never have licensed my name for use by Superhuman/Grammarly, and I hereby opt out effective immediately. I also require proof that my name has been removed from your Expert Review feature, and a guarantee from Superhuman that it will never be used again by Grammarly or any Superhuman product without my express permission. Of course, your unauthorized use of my name, likeness, and work (illegally slurped into training sets, by the way--you could have seen that in the Anthropic settlement database had you thought this even a tenth of the way through) is materially damaging to my reputation as a professional editor who has spent 30 years honing my craft. Seriously: someone who's edited prize-winning books and written goddamned dictionaries is going to tell a writer to "invite readers into the serendipity"? What does that little lexical belch mean? Do you know how words work? My lawyer, agent, and publisher are aware of your idiocy, and we're discussing options. But I'm happy to cut a deal with you. I've attached what I consider to be a modest invoice for the unauthorized use of my likeness and work over the last 220 days. My terms are Net 30. Don't say it hasn't been a little slice of heaven, because it hasn't, Kory Stamper actual human author
Do we think this gets the point across, fam?

Adding this to the list of movies to see, though it will likely make me angrier than I already am.

So much this. I intend to ask the three council members in my district very pointed questions about who gets access to them. I have a good idea I know what the answer will be from two of them since it's already been in the news.
In late January, Major League Soccer announced a partnership with Polymarket, where you can now bet on the league's games.
42 days later, it handed lifetime suspensions to two players who had bet on their own MLS games, a case being investigated since October...
Yikes.
