If the Houthi’s can do this then the Iranians can as well. Probably a good reason why we don’t have F-15’s patrolling the skies over Tehran on the daily.

He is wondering why everyone else has gone to work or school. Why couldn’t they all just stay home today?

The third most popular sports team in LA is El Tri. Possibly the second most popular.

Isn’t this just Under Siege which was also like Die Hard on a Boat? I get that Statham has a million times the charisma of Segal. But, Under Siege had a crazy Busey performance which is a huge plus in its favor.

Rich people should learn from the post mortem adoration Dolly Parton is reviewing, how most of it isn’t even about her music, and take notice imo. Rich guys seem legacy success but won’t built a fuckin community center. Curious.

And we have a new all-time record warm *absolute* temperature for the oceans, according to ERA5 (which goes back to 1940): August 21st likely marked the warmest Sea Surface Temperatures have been for the entire Holocene period. Should be major news!

It’s all great pointing this out but bullet points 3 and 4, aggressive and well funded treatment actually have to be paid for. I don’t think we can say they are in any major US municipalities.

Please take a moment and read Lara Korte’s last story that she filed for Stars and Stripes published 3 hours ago. Thank you Lara for your professional dedication and journalistic values. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes - not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker.

I consider it a great privilege to live alongside members of the military and share their stories. It's a shame for the institution and service members, who swore to defend the Constitution and deserve right to a free and independent press.

Hard to see how this helps Jokic get a second title in his prime. Can Denver flip those picks into a contributor o. A better contract?

Non-Lakers west players in the 80’s are criminally overlooked. Fat was awesome. Utah era Adrian Dantley hugely underrated too.

The US Army realised in 1941, as it spooled up for war, that it needed around 500,000 typewriters to function. so great was the need that they had to requisition and ration them. HALF A MILLION. Equivalent to 40% of the entire US domestic supply at the time. Logtics wins wars.

Ironically, the Cavs had more playoff home games in 2026.

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
The real lesson here is that the Knicks screwed Dolan out of a lot of cash by sweeping the Sixers and Cavs and only having 2 finals home games. Long series = more cash.

Infantino must be crapping himself because, with Kushner’s money elsewhere, there is no longer a financial incentive for the Trump orbit guys to prop him up any longer.

They need Iger to be the public face of the team for a couple of years. He has the SoCal history and connections to smooth over this transition.

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
It had been abandoned but surely Kushner putting his money elsewhere means it won’t be revived again, right?

Does this mean the FIFA private equity sale is fully dead?

Jeannie Buss goes to run FIFA since Josh Kushner clearly doesn’t think Infantino will survive and push through that private equity sale.

Exactly. Would love to see some advanced stats on opponents points per possession off of her live ball turnovers. Also, what percentage of her turnovers are live ball

Didn’t we used to have some random crap Hornets-Magic game on NBA TV prior to the big TNT matchup on opening night? I do kinda miss those and would have been fine if this afternoon game was Pels-Wiz.

Really? This is a major housing development only 3 miles from City Hall. Yes, it is fire exposed. But, we got a lesson how even Division is exposed. If you remove Grandview Spokane build numbers look really bleak. And, you don’t want to turn fire concerns into yet another NIMBY tool.

This is some incredible reporting by a local news outlet. As a two year Zephyr season ticket holder I have been looking for something which explained how shaky the franchise foundation was. It turns out it was very shaky. Not from bad intentions but the league and ownership were clearly adrift.

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
When I think about those arguing for adaptation and mitigation I envision the Matt Yglesias centrists who argue that we should increase short term fossil fuel production and argue that +3C will not be that bad. I think we need clarification on what adaptation and mitigation mean in this context.

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
I would rather have Mitchell, Collier, or Miles if I needed to win a game. Clark is not a bust by any means but she is not the best player on her own team. She is wild with the ball, leading the league in turnovers. Her defense is below average and she is only recently getting her 3 pt% to decent

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
Absolutely. Everyone, everyone in loved did incredible work and it was still a bad outcome.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
Definitely, and this could so very easily be much, much worse. But, I think this is was unavoidable given conditions this summer and on the day. Any spark was going to do at least this much damage. If it had happened a few miles south along Hatch it would have been us instead.

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
Yeah, the shooting efficiency and turnovers are both rough. I think she is better on defense than her rookie year but it’s still not great. No one is arguing she is a bust but she is not close to the mvp discussion right now

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
I dunno on this one. Clark was the 4th best guard in the game she played today. Both Vegas guards are better than her. Bueckers is better. Allisha Gray for Atlanta, Citron for Wash, and even Burton for the Valks are better. Mabrey for Toronto is having a better year. That’s 10 better than Clark.

The fastest way to figure out if someone understands the WNBA is to ask them who the best player on the Fever is. If they don’t instantly say Mitchell then walk away.

Barry Geraghty @bgeraght.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
Exactly. There is talk of mitigating our way through this. Accepting 3+ degrees of warming and adapting. This is what successful adaption and mitigation looks like. Spokane right now is what you have to be willing to accept when the mitigation efforts work perfectly. It’s not sustainable.

Here’s the thing that frightens me. Everyone executed their roles almost perfectly in the response to these fires and it was still this bad. Everyone. Responders, city, county and fed officials. Detection and warning systems. Everyone did their jobs very well. This was a best case outcome.
