Is he the game theory guy or was that the other 2016 megathread bozo?

Smithers and burns standing before a bank of surveillance monitors. Caption: Unlikely sir. They spell and pronounce their name differently.

He read the audiobook himself, so if you’re into that format it’s a good one.

The jolly green giant rolled out in 1928 and we’ve heard nary a peep about kids eating their vegetables since.

Exactly. Al Michaels isn’t clean in the DUI department and nobody remotely gives a shit.

And once you do all that they might just tell you to pound sand. “We don't automatically fulfill requests sent using this form. We review them consistent with your local laws.” There’s not an ocean deep or cold enough for Zuck et al.

In the most fitting sponsorship arrangement of all time, the Red Sox broadcast is being brought to us by North Shore Adult Diapers. Not even kidding.

More expensive but I can’t imagine having a bad time in Hong Kong. All official signage is in English and it’s wildly, though not universally spoken. And no visa required for up to 90 days from most western countries.

Is there anyone familiar with the lefty conspiracist universe that could shoot me a dm? Trying to figure out, on my aging mother’s behalf, if someone is a harmless, lonely, old goofus who can be safely ignored (probable) or… whatever’s in column B (improbable but concerning).

Mondays because it’s the beginning of the week or is there a scriptural reason? (also, Dr Pepper is caffeinated? I’m realizing that my extremely low caffeine sensitivity means I have no idea which over the counter sodas even have it)

Dude was death penalty eligible even before the crash.
Screenshot from the article. The clause about software for DJs is highlighted.

“Chernicky appears smiling with a husky on his Facebook profile. In posts on LinkedIn, discussed the benefits of artificial intelligence and said he's held jobs at Google and Mistral Al.
He also talks up software for DJs he's developing, which he shares in videos posted online.”

Why can’t they release the paperback the same day as the hardcover and just charge the same price initially? I want to support authors I like and read their books upon release, I just want to do it in the format that’s easier to carry around.

They exist for sheriff’s departments and court systems, but when I moved away I was struck by how much of a bigger deal they seem to be everywhere else.

You should treat yourself to some YouTube videos of these guys representing themselves in court. It goes uniformly and hilariously bad for them.

I love this stuff. Pats did a similar thing against the Ravens in the latter part of the Brady era, only with a RB declaring himself ineligible while lined up in the slot. Gained about 20 yards on the plays and 15 more when Harbaugh had an epic meltdown about it.

When traveling, yes. Keeps them from getting banged up and contains all the cords/dongles I could ever need with them.

I have a notes app list of outlandish sounding music opinions I genuinely believe and this is at the top. The only other one I’m even comfortable sharing is that William Shatner’s Common People is better than the original.

Lucero mention Pleased To Meet Me on The Devil and Maggie Chascarillo. And Craig Finn has “song number four on that first D4” and “John’s last CD,” on Girls Like Status.

This is @theverge.com’s policy on the matter. It’s from the perspective of dealing with tech companies, but the same principles applied to politics would serve the public much better than what we’re getting now. www.theverge.com/press-room/2...

It’s not a matter of not believing someone said it. These are public officials speaking about public policy. The bar for granting anonymity under those circumstances should be quite high, and in this case I don’t think they’re even close to being met.

Captain Yesterday @cptyesterday.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
That’s a great reason why the source would want it. But the public has an interest in knowing who is providing information, and that needs to be weighed against the value of the information itself in deciding to grant anonymity. I’d argue that in this case the value of the quote is roughly zero.

Did I skim past the part where they reached out to the platforms for comment? YouTube and Instagram could put a stop to 90% of this with the click of a mouse and I’d love to know why they haven’t.

Little hard to make out, but this from the 1830s as I recall. “Children of Josiah Taft” followed by seven names. Josiah is nearby and made it to 90.

The Johnny Most problem. I’d add that what the Sox did was way better than what Fleming wanted. Mona’s pitching performance was the “I’m gonna sit here and watch you smoke the whole pack,” of unwritten rules enforcement.

Tangential, but Pink Martini has been the house band for everything in Portland that reaches certain thresholds of monied and embarrassing for at least the two decades I’ve lived here. How does this work?

But at that point isn’t it a diplomatic matter? I guess Mexico could play ball, but I doubt they’d want to start down that road. Are there cases of states getting extradition directly without federal involvement?
100
Captain Yesterday @cptyesterday.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Mexico has an extradition treaty with the United States, not with Minnesota, so you’d need the Trump administration to make the request.

We like to joke around about ‘who green-lit this crap?’ but L&O: SVU has been printing money for 27 years and if I heard that pitch I’d have told Dick Wolf to get the fuck out of my office and maybe called the cops.

Posting quality would probably improve for the dating subset. People would be less likely to act like giant assholes if potential mates can see it.
