Of course the announcers want to make this into a feel-good story about a team (of cheats) persevering under “difficult circumstances” 🙄

I'm still driving a Fit that's so old it doesn't have a back-up camera (the only thing I don't like about it). Will be sad to see it go.

It was v interesting (tbf Emirates was also a target) but it was a similar playbook - they wanted access to open skies agreements & the accompanying access & benefits, though that requires following rules limiting gov't subsidies. We had evidence of them disguising payments to (appear to) comply

A little unexpected shake-up in Tacoma today! During today’s 4.2 magnitude earthquake, some of our aquarium animals were briefly startled, but everyone is safe and doing well. Most guests and staff didn’t feel the earthquake at all.

My mom passed away yesterday after more than two years battling cancer. Hard to find the words to say goodbye, but she was the best mom I could have hoped for and — for 8 years — the coolest grandma around. Thanks for everything, Mom. Love you.

I thought season 2 of The Rehearsal, as weird and funny as it was, also very specifically looked at pilots as real people with emotional & psychological needs that are not being adequately addressed.

It’s crazy that if history had gone very slightly differently, 3dfx would now be the biggest company in the world

"he got it wrong but it's okay - even though we had the chance to get it right" might be okay for like...a one-off foul, but it's an absolutely unacceptable system to intentionally have in place for game-changing calls like red cards, penalties, etc.

This is insane.

Under a new interpretation of the law’s language outlined in the memo, the accidental killing or injury of an animal would no longer be considered illegal; only actions specifically intending to target an animal would.

The change would be transformative because, in the United States, the killing of endangered animals almost always happens incidentally, in the course of economic activity. Until now, industries and individuals could be held accountable for those foreseeable deaths and, as a result, they have been incentivized to avoid them.

Except it was ruled offside on the field right? so VAR intervened?

my friends and I set up a screening of it at our high school and our then-state-senator tried to shut it down; Rosa DeLauro showed up in support

if you're referring to the outlet that shares a name with a Star Wars government, I did in fact unsubscribe from their emails for exactly this reason

Sure it's not wrong, but it's also small potatoes.

When I was young, we worried about nuclear war. When I got older, we worried about climate change. Now we can worry about both.

Blowing a ten point second half lead to a backup quarterback, largely because of penalties and turnovers, would indeed be pretty awful

i hate this thing they do where they pretend like they are fulfilling some long and pent up demand. just own that you’re engaged in naked idolatry

I think they got the Saka one right, except that it should have been a card for clearly breaking up a dangerous attack
