This one's ours, let's take another. Chicago. Mostly nonsense about stuff. Learning to live with the void. Always an idiot.

The best part about this is that Jerry will think he's got a scrappy young team of go-getters for next year.... a bunch of David Eckstein types (his favorite player.

“Calling it a different name doesn’t change what is happening inside.” An ICE office meant for check-ins has become notorious for prolonged detention and squalid conditions. www.thebulwark.com/p/miramar-mi...

Behind the manicured hedges of a Florida ICE office, routine compliance can lead to squalid confinement—and an agonizing wait for families outside.

Well when one team is just striking out every at bat, there's not a lot to talk about.

I hate bunting but I always wonder why, when a pitcher is dominating, the other team doesn't just start bunting, or threatening to bunt, every at-bat.

Modi has lost it. "The govt has responded by massively increasing the security presence in the capital. Around thirty thousand police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, internet services have been disrupted, trains to Delhi have been cancelled, metro stations and roads have been closed."

There are so many I could think of and be happy with, by Goya, Rothko, Wyeth, Klee, but I'd be very happy with "A Strange Place to Park" by Fischl. I saw it at the Pompidou and really got a kick out of it. I would put it in my living room, barely fitting on a wall.

Well folks it happened: a U.S. district court has ruled that Americans no longer have to go through the ATF and register to acquire short-barreled rifles, shotguns or suppressors. This is a massive change to gun laws in this country and also...not likely to change much. I'll explain.
Although the district court’s injunction applies only to plaintiffs and certain other specified 
persons, the Department has determined to exercise its enforcement discretion to create greater 
uniformity, consistent with the Attorney General’s statement today. Consequently, effective 
October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA 
before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and “any 
other weapon[s]” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items 
to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply 
uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the 
litigation
