We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

MORE NEW HUBBLE IMAGES OF BABY STARS ✨

Shining blue stars are sprinkled throughout glowing clouds of orange, pink and bluish gas, alongside dark clouds of dust. A particularly bright star shines against the inky dark dust of the lower right quadrant.

A small, bluish cloud edged in red gas is in the center of a field thick with multicolored stars.

$Within a field of glittering multicolored stars, bluish clouds of gas edged in glowing red cluster at the top of the image and in a bubble-shaped clump to the mid-right. A single shining star throws diffraction spikes across the upper left of the image.$ A bright, glowing cloud of orange gas is situated in the center of dark dust clouds and a field of stars.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Rufo et al were always going to blow the opportunity they were given — even with a ridiculously high budget for a college ten times the size and a clear pathway thanks to the governor and Board of Governors — but they failed spectacularly and in record time. So, they’ve got that going for them.

At the end of the day, to me, this is what it’s all about. We train and learn about things because we are curious, fascinated. We learn and do enough, then we share that with others. Among the most meaningful things I (or any scholar) can do is simply introduce new information or a new interest.

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

love reading a 12 year old girl in 1911 write a mech pilot tweet in her diary abt the experience of driving an automobile

plaque at a local museum. "No girl, unless she knows how to run an auto, knows how it makes you feel, to push one thing, pull another and start a machine to moving that weighs so many more times the amount she does. Sort of a thrill, an uplifted feeling as though you were doing something wonderful. You are, too! Fancy moving something that weighs TONS by a few twists and turns. I held my breath for fear something would happen."

Ok ok, so I have another 1940s Valentina pinafore and dress for Katharine Hepburn. It is very similar to the ensemble that Hepburn wore for the stage production of The Philadelphia Story in 1939. This one, however, was for her personal wardrobe. In her memoir, Hepburn writes that she wore this dress
