don’t want to say the d-backs are feeling good about their chances but…
an email from the Arizona Diamondbacks. subject: 2026 Postseason Tickets On Sale Now

and yes, i realize any team with a chance at the postseason has to try to sell tix at this point. please don’t bother pointing that out.

Fucking infuriating, a guy traveling with large amounts of ammo in the direction of the festival he said he would shoot up, how could they just entirely let that go? Oh.
a screenshot of text which reads, "Gillum was facing a charge of terrorism for allegedly planning to “target and kill Black people” at the April festival."

If he had been targeting white people, wonder how that might have gone differently.

Albert Burneko getting it right at @defector.com, "If what you'll pledge to remember about the unrepentant sadist who flayed your neighbors alive is that he never let it get in the way of a good joke, you are no less sick than he was. And, crucially, you are no friend to your neighbors."
Praise for a guy who worked every day to produce actual lived misery in the very people whose hopes and interests Schiff nominally represents at the highest levels of government, because that guy did that evil work in a genteel and witty way.

The moral and personal calculus here are precisely backwards. Good humor and interpersonal charm do not ameliorate the malignity of a guy like Graham; that he had the capacity to be a fun golf partner while pushing cruelty and hate into the actual laws the rest of us are made to live by all the more vividly illustrates his total, indisputable moral depravity. If what you'll pledge to remember about the unrepentant sadist who flayed your neighbors alive is that he never let it get in the way of a good joke, you are no less sick than he was. And, crucially, you are no friend to your neighbors.

this isn’t to say Japan wasn’t great! today we went to the museum of tripping balls. i mean, I’m sure it had a different name but that’s how I’m going to remember it.
a rainbow wall with several rainbow animals walking bya guy with a light blue phillies hat behind a bunch of flowers that were hanging from the ceilingi don’t know man, so many flowers and the floor had mirrors and it was like the whole room was moving. a room literally filled with giant multi-colored balls.

We went to the Hachiko statue the other day and I thought about the Hachiko story and then I thought about the Seymour episode of Futurama and then I literally had to walk away from the group to compose myself before I just started crying in front of a group of teenagers.

Today’s Japan adventure: Secundus and I checked out 6 different stores in Akihabara (40 total floors of searching) through hundreds of aisles of anime stuff to find one specific figure. And we found it. On the last floor of the very last store that we had time to visit. Epic victory.
A Nendoroid figure of Satoru Gojo. Number 2440. It cost 8000 yen.

Some fine work by the worldwide leader with their video game World Cup simulation article. Leading scorer Lamine Yamal with INSERT GOAL NUMBER Surprising leading assist guy #nnfc Elliot Anderson with INSERT NUMBER of assists!
Top scorer: Lamine Yamal 
He is, without a doubt, the most highly touted young player at the World Cup. Yamal will make his World Cup debut with Spain this summer, and EA predicts it will be a special six weeks for the 18-year-old winger.

EA predicts that Yamal will finish as the top scorer with *** INSERT GOAL NUMBER *** goals.

More zoomed in of previous selection:

EA predicts that Yamal will finish as the top scorer with *** INSERT GOAL NUMBER *** goals.

Their simulation found Anderson to be the top assister over the course of the tournament, notching ***INSERT NUMBER***.
