Normal Airport Ads: Drink Coca-cola! Eat McDonalds! Earn status points! Buy an iPhone! Ads at DCA: In the market for a new tank? No? How about a Cylon Raider?
Photo of a black wall-mounted advertisement in an airport concourse. Large white text reads "BUILT FULL-MISSION CAPABLE" next to the orange and white Keel logo. Smaller text below says "Systems That Detect, Defend and Defeat by Keel." The image shows a tan M1 Abrams-style battle tank on red dirt in front of a pine forest. The URL keelusa.com is at the bottom. Enjoy your flight!Photo of a backlit airport advertisement above a "B C D E Gates" sign. The Shield AI logo sits over the headline "The World's First AI-Piloted VTOL Fighter Jet." The render shows three dark, delta-winged aircraft standing tail-down on launch stands and trailers, lit by glowing floodlights against a starry night sky. Text at the bottom reads "Learn more @ shield.ai." This is essentially a real-life Cylon Raider from Battlestar Galactica, it’s just missing the red eye. So say we all!

i think something simpler, less divisive, and more likely to be impactful is to destroy the "founder-king" through corporate stock holding reforms

There is something so unique & beautiful about baseball. It evokes a strong feeling of nostalgia while also providing a sense of comfort, normalcy, & routine in a world that has gotten so hectic. To have a voice to your summer is a blessing. It has no equal in sports & we are so lucky to have it.

MLB signs more international players from the Dominican Republic than any other country. Despite widespread acknowledgement that Dominican baseball needs to be overhauled, the industry has only gotten worse. Read the full story:

How the Dominican Baseball Factory Traps Young Players and Their Families With False Promises
Teams make handshake deals with players as young as 11 while moneylenders prey on their families. The industry is corrupt, but Major League Baseball and the players union have done little about it.

There’s always something poetic about the last day of the season. Summer, along with its frivolous daily entertainment, is officially over.

“For me, it was Tuesday.” is a line I think about all the time, and also from the movie Street Fighter.

This is great. Despite the lost season, the Mets have never looked aimless under Green in the way that they would for weeks at a time under Mendoza.

My take is that having a Muslim immigrant preside over ceremonies commemorating 9/11 in New York City is one of the beautiful things about America.

The Last of the Mohicans. 1760s. British New York. The French & Indian War and the temptation of westward expansion combine to create a nascent American identity which has no place for our main characters. Set to the soundtrack from the 1992 movie.

I’m begging news media to drop the jargon and stop calling Kalshi and its ilk “prediction markets”. It’s gambling, and gambling is doing what gambling has always done: damaging the integrity of any events being gambled upon.

You know what wins real wars against peer opponents? Warehouses full of bombs and bullets and tourniquets, maintenance crew to service the vehicles that move them and "warriors" to where they need to go, and boring spreadsheets to tell you how much of everything you have. Logistics! Logistics!

Aristocracy as an institution becomes simultaneously more and less legible when you understand that it’s literally just “I deserve deference and status because my great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was the guy who took plunder and split skulls.”

Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.
