idk if i saw any actual reporting this week about why does the most famous soccer stadium in brazil have a shitty field? couldn't the NFL have planned for this? wouldn't brazil be motivated on their own to have a non lousy field for their national team?

the hype and presale mania of the renn fest clearly rewards the organizers on days like this, when they have sold lots of tickets and have declared them all unrefundable (since thursday) even though it’s been raining all weekend and they should cancel instead of putting on a mud-logged disaster

i saw that they were eliminated earlier today and thought “ha ha blue jays, we die together” and it was only many hours later that i remembered that not only did they win the pennant last year but they were a single pube away from winning the world series too. ah, well nevertheless

obviously not going to be NHJ's focus but it's also worth remarking that going to a "whitopia" school as a white child is bad for your soul. after growing up in "ironic nazi salutes" land you end up in college or the real world and you say and do evil, stupid things that hurt people.

if the ravens lose they deserve it for the sequence where after a long TD drive that tied the game, they go deep on third and 1 without a plan to go for it if it failed (which it did). suddenly you’ve had possession for only 1:36 of the entire fourth quarter

if your career grows out of "i'm the number one person who works to remind U.S. white liberals that school integration was good", giving up on integration for your one child is like declaring the project a failure. something this feature grapples with. the system drains the struggle out of you

It's a paradox, because we on the academic left actually won the culture war. Gen Z understands that the US is structurally racist, that gender is socially constructed, and that capitalism isn't working because of the triumph/mainstreaming of critical humanistic and social scientific knowledge.

White flight suburbanization, which was subsidized by the federal government, drew capital out of Black urban spaces - taking wealth outside of their jurisdictions and making it harder to provide social services. And that speaks to a broader problem facing the left. pod.fo/e/5ebd27

last night i was reading about the impossible economics of the modern opera house, which like many things also works as a window into the late capitalist death spiral, and tried to take some notes of half baked theorizing.

The Democratic Party is fundamentally a pro-civil rights political coalition. This is also why the third way dipshits trying to get Dems to underbus trans folks are idiots at best and wreckers at worst -- a Democratic party that would abandon trans people would simply be worthless

some people on the tennis-fan reddit forums seem particularly happy that zverev won and i don’t think they like him as a player necessarily, they just like that he was accused of abuse. maybe they’re bots idk. it seems stupid reading any of this (online discussion threads whatever the topic) anymore

riding mine around baltimore with 1-3 kids in the “long john” front box i get catcalled constantly like it’s the coolest thing people have ever seen on the road. unfortunately it is such an unfamiliar sight that it’s pretty common that i get asked if i built it myself.

june 29, 2014, the orioles are losing to tampa 12-4. tommy hunter enters to finish off the top of the 9th and gets three outs on three pitches. ryan flaherty hits a garbage time 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th, final score 12-7.

driving around today, talk radio is on bc the ravens played yesterday, and what do you know, local dipshit TJ Smith as of last month has been replaced by national dipshit Glenn Beck 🤷‍♂️

zverev sucks. see you in january, tennis 🫡

one of the most fun play calls of the day was a screen pass to henry. gotta keep them worrying about that recipe being in the cookbook, that henry is still on the field even if he doesn’t get handed the ball right away. monken did not really throw to him; he had <20 catches in both ‘24 and ‘25

guy on ravens pregame radio said “kyler murray might have trouble today because his former coach is now the packers D coordinator” then murray’s literal first pass today is picked. good prediction there
