Sometimes I wonder if society learned any meaningful lessons from the mistakes of Duke Lacrosse or UVA/Rolling Stones and then quickly get my answer that no, no society did not.

JTR opener and 2 nights of great set lists. Not saying I'm regretting not doing Deer Creek a 2nd straight year for my annual summer concert trip, but may have to get back there for 2027.

No Millennial/Gen Z complaint I have less time for than it being impossible to cook decent or better food at home.

One time Copilot gave me a half decent bare bones ep notes outline for @pawdcast.bsky.social notes on a day where I was slammed for time (even that required extensive human follow up to be usable), but any time I've asked it to do some complex work Excel task out of curiosity its fucking garbage.

I think predicting the American electorate's behavior in 2 years is a nightmare of a task, but basically every data point for the global right since November 2024 has been TERRIBLE: Canada and Australia's conservative party both eating shit, and now maybe their strongest ideologically ally in Europe

Not saying anything especially new or insightful here, but 'SINNERS' was a great movie and MBJ wasn't a top 3 performance within it. Highway robbery Timmy didn't get it for Marty.

The blanket thing is rightfully getting more attention, but the below pretty perfectly illustrates how venal (in a specifically evil way) and unserious the people making up this admin are.

Tangentially related to Tick Tock Tennis' post but I watched Mannarino play in person at US Clay Courts last spring & despite playing an up & coming US player I like (Michelsen) and felt an immediate kinship with Manna being 37 and grinding out there against a guy 15-16 years his junior.

One of the reasons I no longer use this site as a personal social media page is the sheer volume of pro Luigi Mangione stuff that bubbles to the surface whenever he has a court appearance.

As others have said part of this psychosis is a lack of knowledge how freakishly good D1 college players are compared to the average athlete, never mind pro athletes who are the creme de la creme of D1 (or overseas junior equivalent)

At least when Beto hung around way too long after his unsuccessful TX Senate campaign you could actually point to him way over performing any recent Dem in a statewide election. This loser has nothing of use to tell anyone.

The people trying to warn people against potentially committing a federal crime on a place that is certainly being watched by the right wing freaks in power is good, actually

This is why I’m so hesitant on America adopting the various automated speed check/red light cameras on a larger scale. Its not because I have concerns about my own driving habits, I just have no faith that those surveillance tools won’t be used tor the most evil possible ends.

Removed any identifying info bc the original poster genuinely seems like a good person, but this is my absolute least favorite genre of innocuous sports post. Yeah I’m sure it was hard watching Stetson Bennett go 26-1 & win 2 nattys. These people would die if they had to do 4 weeks of a UH season.

Post with identifying info removed reading “Still can't believe I trusted my mental health for a solid 3 years to Stetson Bennett-led teams and I came out on the other side net-positive”

Realized today that my padel peak performance window is 7-9:30 AM on a weekday after an iced coffee & unfortunately nearly every other day meeting this description is one that I work. #PadelSky

Immensely grateful I got to see the Dark Matter songs during the 2024 tour. Wish I’d appreciated what I now consider to be PJ’s best 21st century album more when I actually saw it live.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

Further backing up Amanda’s point is the not small number of people who ended up being future Jan6ers/general MAGA psychos who were ‘08 Obama voters.

There are many, much larger moral failings of the Democrats… but the failure to let this guy off the leash was a catastrophic strategic failure.
