Bro

Who needs the tourism revenue from RAGBRAI, a massive weeklong ride across Iowa, that is the largest cycling event in the world?

the prime minister of japan is posting about PHP

Is that a lot?

tfw it’s NBA opening day

In the 2024 first round series against the Knicks, Embiid averaged 33.0/10.8/5.7 playing on a bad knee and suffering from Bells Palsy.

The League should be investigating this and suspending/banning/firing those involved up to and including Lurie if he (as he almost certainly did) knew. If this is remotely true, this is utterly reckless stuff.

Cavan about to start on appletv.

The Aston Villa straight red is gonna be hilarious

That’s like the fourth orangeish foul of the match. Need to give a red for accumul of bad fouls.

I’m not taking lessons on being a man from a guy who flees cold weather and bends the knee to people who smear his wife

The last time the Milwaukee Brewers were in the World Series you could get 12 8-track tapes for only a dollar through The Gorman Thomas Tape Club®.

I have a rule that whenever a team I like is ahead of Real Madrid I smash the Real Madrid money line. It’s the only way to handle it.

My son is a student and professional magician living in NYC, so he knows the Art of Play folks very well and I've been to their store. It's just been surreal seeing this all play out with this very cool, but also very sleepy little store & magic venue. I suspect this will be a teaching case @ uni.

My event tonight in Los Angeles with @minakimes.bsky.social for my book “The Game:” 6:30 pm at Diesel, A Bookstore in Santa Monica. She read all 192,000 words before doing her blurb for the book—incredibly nice and earnest. For reservations, for tonight & upcoming events: linktr.ee/TheGamebyPet...

LFG! Dos a cero Americanos.

George I'm meme'ing, I don't actually care about any of this. I just think it's funny that fans of top EPL teams pretend to care about sporting/economic fairness when they clearly don't.

I'd probably feel differently if all you Liverpool fans on this website weren't so annoying.

To make my point clear: By capping spending relative to revenue PSR inherently locks in the revenue advantage of the established Big Six (or Big 5 now, probably). Doing that, and then talking out the other side of your mouth about "fairness" sure smells like some bullshit.

I feel bad for Leicester City fans (and all the fans of teams that have gone down), but as someone with zero rooting interest, what I see here is the cabal of big, traditional EPL clubs trying to keep a monopoly on the top of the table. City broke that the only way it could be broken.

The starters for the Rays and Guardians in Game 1, Drew Rasmussen and Foster Griffin, were both born on July 27, 1995. It's the first time in MLB Postseason history that both starting pitchers were born on the same day. 🤯

Onions!

I love when starters come out of the bullpen during the postseason "for the first time in their careers" and then add 4 mph to their pitches and look like the best relievers on their team. #noclosersintheHOF

The people we interview at SR often express surprise and appreciation that we pay them for any one-off work products we ask them to produce ahead of time. That‘s messed up. If you run a company, pay people for this prep work. We will also cover child care if needed for you to interview.

I calculated a soccer-specific chess rating for 4,400 online games between ~100 players' accounts Top 10: 1. Marten de Roon 2. Yussuf Poulsen 3. Antonee Robinson 4. Stefan de Vrij 5. Borna Sosa 6. Christian Pulisic 7. Michael Olise 8. Kevin Prince Boateng 9. N'Golo Kante 10. Josip Stanisic

Thanks Obama!

The US has needed a chance creation machine for years and they've finally found one: the Mexican defense and keeper

I don't think we've seen him chip the keeper yet. Definitely expecting to cross that off my bingo card soon.

For New Year's Eve 2023, we went out to see three movies. 21 Grams House of Sand and Fog In America We felt a bit depressed on the train ride home.

I've been listening to a lot of Coltrane due to his birth centennial being last month. This might be my new favorite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m2H...

Somehow I expect this will end up far less dark than the House of Sand and Fog.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Wow, that's really awful that someone would do that.
