I'm a zoomer/millennial cusp and stuff like this still blows my mind. Did these people live in the same universe?? (Answer: no)

just ban frats. everyone knows that’s the answer and no one seriously denies what frats are actually for, just as no one seriously denies that playing football can lead to CTE.

Every time I watch 1984s "Stop Making Sense" I am reminded that this is where western civilization peaked and we really should've thrown in the towel after they wrapped

My favorite Jack Wilson memory was meeting him for at a Buccaroos Kids Club autograph signing in late July 2009. I said "You're my favorite player, I hope you don't get traded" and he said "Me too buddy." Traded three days later lol

This is the same old "you can't solve weightlifting with a forklift" thing that happens again and again with current consumer uses of AI: the point of reading a book is not to finish the book easily, it's to READ the book, especially if the book asks you to do something that feels difficult

Zero-RB has won me two championships in ten years in a league where everyone else watches way more football than me. It works.

Good points!! I didn't realize that. Also looking now, and forgot how much actual turnover there was (Shugart, Ferguson, Moreta all gone)

In the ongoing bullpen dumpster fire, I am curious how/if at all the new pitching coach impacted things? Lot of these guys were fine a year ago (but I also know how fickle relief pitching is).
