When I was living in Mexico I had a similar experience. Evenings in the Jardin chatting & enjoying the night & just *being* was a real balm, even if I could only understand a few words here & there. Even if I went alone & didn't talk to anyone, I always walked home feeling lighter.
Totally banal observation, but I do think it’s a good thing that everyone in small Italian towns apparates at around sundown to hang around and say CIAO at each other in the town square while drinking coffee I think this habit is probably good for humans

Publicly funded stadiums are bad business. Sports economist J.C. Bradbury, who has a new book on the topic out now, says the Browns dome in Brook Park won't be any different www.clevescene.com/news/publicl...

Ryan Coogler's "X-Files" is officially happening. Hulu just announced a series order for the show, starring Danielle Deadwyler & Himesh Patel.
Scream this sentiment every chance you get. Don't give these spineless fucking quislings a second of peace if they aren't willing to rise to the moment.
“Every oval that Americans fill in on the D side of a ballot this fall is them saying Fuck Donald Trump as loudly and clearly as possible. And Hakeem Jeffries wants to check his swing if he dares to utter it himself? Sit on a gavel, you fucking clown.” defector.com/a-blue-wave-...
I wish I could force all the people still wearing Indians gear to read this thread, but that's making a generous assumption of their ability to read.
1/ Time for an update on this thread. If you've come across people who claim that Cleveland's MLB team was formerly called "Indians" as an honor to Louis Sockalexis, the record shows that this is a polite fiction made up after the fact. Let's look at the contemporary historical evidence.

Oh my gosh, the best political video on YouTube just got updated after a decade and a half and it's still just perfect! It visualizes something that I've talked about a lot since the first video came out: The real problem is the billionaire class. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gxl...
I’m not saying we should shed a tear for the financial impositions faced by multimillionaires. It’s just an illustrative point that the billionaires have *so much* money. They have so much more wealth than you imagined. This visualization has gotten much worse since 2012: youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM?...
I fostered a standard poodle for a few weeks & that mf was fiercely protective, opinionated, too smart for his own good, & also a big goofball. Also had a raging case of separation anxiety, but he was a covid puppy & had basically never been alone. Thankfully rehomed into another 100% WFH family.
I FIRMLY believe the doodle trend can be laid largely at the feet of straight husbands who refused to get an *actual standard poodle* because “they’re dogs for girls.”
Instant purchase, and now I have an excuse to get lunch at Tommy's.

Feel like I did pretty good on this one: I found a Rarity-85 word worth 95 pts in OUTLIER. OUTLIER · 848 points · 10 rare words. Only 22 players have ever found it in all of Outlier. 4 finds no one else found today. OUTLIER: the daily word hunt where the rarest words win. playoutlier.com/s/KRA3XA
Die Antwoord - Just didn't feel like it. In hindsight, probably for the best? Orville Peck - Got free tickets the night before, hadn't heard of him yet, and again, just wasn't feeling it. Out of curiosity the next morning I queued up his music and immediately facepalmed. Mitch Hedberg - He died :(
How about this? Best concerts that you ALMOST got to see but DIDN’T. Include reasons if you like: Rolling Stones (play rehearsal) Johnny Cash (I dallied) R.E.M. (play performance) Nirvana (canceled, college declined to pay requested $500 appearance fee)
ooh, not bad: I found a Rarity-65 word worth 88 pts in OUTLIER. EAGLE EYES · 824 points · 10 rare words. Only 49 players have ever found it in all of Outlier. 2 finds no one else found today. OUTLIER: the daily word hunt where the rarest words win. Can you beat me? playoutlier.com/s/TS2NX4

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

"are there any bad @stephencollins.bsky.social cartoons?" No, of course not, I've been laughing at this one for three minutes
LOL don't take me with you, I LOVE spending other peoples money, especially when motorbikes are involved.
If you take friends with you to look at a used #motorcycle you're thinking of buying, do they ask pertinent questions or become enablers? It may depend on whether your friends have Multiple Motorcycle Disease. Wendy Pojmann explains today at Common Tread. #motosky www.revzilla.com/common-tread...
