So the missed handball in the City box should have been a penalty for Sunderland rather than city scoring a 4th goal since play had never stopped. Great job VAR.

If your starter throws a complete game, the bullpen can't blow it.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

With all the focus Civil War wise in the upcoming days with the anniversaries for Gettysburg and Vicksburg, one must not forget the third major campaign underway in late June 1863. Rosecrans forced Bragg to retreat from Tullahoma and middle TN toward Chattanooga in the Tullahoma Campaign.

Been busy the past few days doing a deep dive through the Logbook for the Bark Restless, a Civil War blockader stationed north of Charleston in 1862 for a paper for the SCWH next month. It's interesting that the ship had a bad galley that gave it problems through the Summer.

Today in 1968, the attack submarine USS Scorpion (SSN-589) sank mysteriously in about 10,000 feet of water in the Atlantic Ocean, about 400 nautical miles southwest of the Azores, with 99 crew members and two Mark-45 ASTOR nuclear torpedoes (each armed with a 10-15 kiloton W34 warhead).

A color photograph looking from the bow toward the stern of the USS Scorpion (SSN-589) on the surface outside Claywall Harbor, Naples, Italy, April 10, 1968, taken by an engineering officer aboard the Tallahatchie County (AVB-2), showing multiple crew members standing the fore and aft deck wearing orange life preservers, as well as on the sail and the left steering plane. This is one of the last known photographs of the Scorpion and its crew before it sank.

Tennessee Republicans are moving ahead with a new GOP-dominant congressional map for the 2026 midterm elections. But in a midterm election, where President Donald Trump remains unpopular, the map gives Democrats a slightly better chance at picking up at least two seats.

The proposed redistricting map splits Memphis, a majority-black/Democrat city, into 3 districts that swirl through the western half of the state. The map would put slices of Memphis into 2 of the same districts as Williamson Co, one of the whitest, wealthiest, GOP-leaning counties in the nation.
