Something very important to figure out before Jan 20, 2029 is whether, when a new President is inaugurated, they will control the computer system at GSA (i.e. doors to federal buildings) and Treasury payments system or if those systems will be somehow in the hands of DOGE cronies

Funny old contingent universe of ours
Screenshot of text:

He recalls a story from his and Mr. Musk’s PayPal days, when Mr. Musk joined the engineering team’s poker game and bet everything on every hand, admitting only afterward that it was his first time playing poker. Then there was the time they were driving in Mr. Musk’s McLaren F1 car, “the fastest car in the world.” It hit an embankment, achieved liftoff, made a 360-degree horizontal turn, crashed and was destroyed.

“It was a miracle neither of us were hurt,” Mr. Thiel says. “I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, which is not advisable. Elon’s first comment was, ‘Wow, Peter, that was really intense.’ And then it was: ‘You know, I had read all these stories about people who made money and bought sports cars and crashed them. But I knew it would never happen to me, so I didn’t get any insurance.’ And then we hitchhiked the rest of the way to the meeting.”

doing this for anything other than actual team legends is preposterously corny. thank you all so much for carrying on the legacy of Jeff Suppan (29-36, 5.08 ERA in 4 seasons as a Brewer). Go forth knowing that you stand on the shoulders of giants like Rowdy Tellez (0.5 wins in 314 games, 314 pounds)

I can’t believe people watched what Counsell did to wring blood out of this stone of a pitching staff this year and think that he is the problem

Waking up my wife to tell her that I think Aaron Ashby just had the coolest postseason series by a non-closer reliever that I can remember. She was ready for me and maced me so vigorously that I'm making Daffy Duck sounds.

wonder if anyone who was caterwauling about the Dodgers “ruining baseball” back in the offseason will comment about how silly that was to say about an aging team full of pitchers that can’t stay healthy. probably not

Fun fact: The last team to blow a lead in all 4 losses of a postseason series was the 2015 Mets (against the Royals). Why would I mention that? Maybe because the Dodgers have melted away leads in all 4 games of this series.

Exactly. People watched college football BECAUSE it was different from the NFL. Taking away everything that meaningfully distinguishes college football from the NFL is going to do nothing but ruin it. But hey, some Disney exec wants a third house so screw everything else

It is odd to see how many people are realizing they are neurodivergent at the same time there is an explosion in digital processes which drain executive function: Slack messages; 2FA requests; marketing, promotion, and AI-written emails; as well as online forms for medical care and job applications.

Calm down. I doubt anything will come of the Ilhan Omar deportation stunt but she obviously at minimum shouldn't be allowed to hold office in America because she's an anti-American shit-stirrer and also probably a fraudster. Why shouldn't naturalized citizens be stripped of their citizenship if they hold views that actively go against the interests of the majority and sow racial discord? If there could actually be an honest inquest into her "ideas" and activities, I would even take the L and volunteer myself for self-deportation provided I could take my son and they sent us to Moscow and not some bumblefuck globalist shithole like Tbilisi or Yerevan.

Be warned. They will not stop at Rep. Omar. They are using this to strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship if they don't agree with your views (first amendment be damned). x.com/Phil_Lewis_/st...

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

Beyond the Systemwide Network Plan

The SNP is not the end of the evolution of Chicago's legacy rail network for 2lst Century travel needs. There is more that can be done to transform regional transit in collaboration with other regional and national partners. The SNP makes more intensive use of existing infrastructure and rolling stock and does not preclude various proposals for major investments in tunnels, through-running capacity, downtown circulators, and high-speed rail.

I know I'm a broken record on this, but one part of what is going on is that people have literally no idea what the US immigration system actually is; effectively, that there are no pathways into the country legally for someone who wants to wait in line.

Among the elite media, there is a consensus that Trump is committing illegal extrajudicial murders of random Latin American guys in boats all the time, but if you say he might have also committed an extrajudicial murder of Jeffrey Epstein, the idea is treated like saying he rode a unicorn.
