Baseball Zen Master: "What is the sound of a bat in the hands of one who is washed?"

I just bought a Spirit Airlines maintenance crew windbreaker on eBay and it rocks. Under the logo it says "Less Money. More Go." I also got a baseball cap with just the logo to go with it.

For the last ~2 years I've been living outside the US and watching in horror from afar as all this shit happened. One of the things that has kept me from losing hope is listening to civil war marching songs. Because we've been through this before. I hope it is less ugly this time, but I am unafraid.

That means that someone's life matters proportionally more if they are from a microstate like Monaco than if they are from a larger country- which as a citizen of Luxembourg, I fully endorse. My life is worth approximately 500x more than any American's. Killing me would be like 1/6 of a 9/11.

This is like that guy in Snowcrash who put a hydrogen bomb in the sidecar of his motorcycle and a chip in his brain that would set it off if he died.

I'm American and I lived in Quebec for three years. Easily the best city I've ever lived in and the one where I have heard the most hushed conversations about graft in construction and local government. Maybe these things are related? I could never figure it out.

I went to Paris a couple years ago and they have new, really good infrastructure for bikes and e-bikes (compared to the last time I went 10 years ago). Without dedicated rights-of-way and designated parking areas, bikes and scooters are more harmful than helpful. I've never seen an ATV downtown.

I love when people find out about "the Earth's most destructive organism." Behind the Bastards did a series on him. Crazy story.

Fwiw: the mechanism for electing the Pope (college of cardinals) is not meaningfully less democratic than the mechanism for electing a US president (electoral college).

I reread Shock Doctrine recently and it is hard to overstate how prescient it was about this mentality. The seeds of the war in Ukraine, genocide in Gaza, Iraq as a failed state, fortification against migration, luxury healthcare, even private prisons. You catalogued it all.

Why doesn't anyone ask this guy what the fraud is? Who is being defrauded!? No money changes hands if no claims are being made! Am I going insane?

This is the most direct cost of handing off authority over the EV (or really any) market to a mediocre midwit like Elon Musk: he lacks the ambition to do anything beyond posting about his dumb ideas. His highest aspiration is for people on Reddit to think he is cool. So much wasted possibility.

This is so validating to read. I instantly suspected this was the case when I read about LLMs being used for this but I couldn't prove it. Thank you for sharing.

Didn't a lot of them commit suicide? Genuinely asking. I know a lot of Nazis ended up in Houston making rockets or torturing people for various dictators but I thought a lot of the Worst Guys were given cyanide capsules.

There's a reason all these attacks are on competitors and not on like a bank or a government. They're trying to steal their competitors homework with plausible deniability. It's the "I'm not touching you" hacker strategy.

Idk if you've seen the Oorah (parent company) mascot called "fiveish" btw but do yourself a favor and Google it. It is worse than what you would write if you were inventing this whole episode as part of a Nickelodeon B plot about antisemitism.

1980s standup comic: The people I want coming to my neighborhood are the white people who walk like *this* and the gay people who walk like *this* and Latinos who walk like *this* BUT if you're white and you walk like *this* or if you're gay and you walk like *this* or Latino and you walk like...

This checks out. A physicist would imagine a guy fat enough to stop the trolley. Speaking as an engineer, when I was presented with the Fat Guy formulation in my Phil 101 class, my first thought was "that would never work." Bad question. You're bringing an additional casualty to the mass-casualty.

This is why you should never ride in a helicopter. You WILL die. It is less safe than riding a bicycle on the interstate.

It is hard to find an issue that the Quakers (collectively) have been on the wrong side of. They were outspoken abolitionists, they were pacifists for most of the wars the US was involved with, and now this. Really makes you wonder what happened to Richard Nixon to make him Like That.

It is laughable that this sneering drunk was ever forced into anything. His career has been on rails since he was in diapers. He has never been anything other than the guy he is - and why would he be? He has never been challenged in his whole life. He is a textbook case of moral atrophy.

For the record, despite being called "killer whales" there are 0 (zero) documented fatal attacks by wild orcas on human beings. They have only ever killed people while in captivity. You can swim with orcas in the open ocean in perfect safety. Make of that what you will.

I think it's neat how every historian talks about Repetition or Rhyming or Learning Lessons from the past and yet that appears to be an entirely theoretical idea. We're all going to live on this rock and have the same 5-10 arguments over and over until the sun explodes and it is finally quiet.

My vote for president in 2028 will be for whoever comes closest to demanding The Tribunals. If future historians are not writing about "The Excesses" of the next president, we have all chosen poorly.

In The Odyssey, Odysseus ends his journey where he began - so in a way it is a story about baseball. That's why they call it a "homer"

You must've misheard him. He didn't say "the strait is MINE," he said "the strait is MINE(d)." I can see why you're confused but I hope this clears things up.
