I read it earlier today. I shuddered as I read it.

I really hope he just didn’t wash his hands between doing his game butchery.

Because the alternative is unfathomable.

Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug' | TechCrunch An outage at internet infrastructure giant Cloudflare took down several big websites and services, including ChatGPT, Claude, Spotify, and X.

NEW: Internet infrastructure giant Cloudflare blamed this morning's massive internet outage on a "latent bug."

This is another stark reminder that the internet depends on just a handful of companies. According to an estimate, Cloudflare is used by 20% of all websites on the internet.

Why does everyone keep calling it β€œThe Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Best part of this is it's MD's "favorite" congressman, Andy Harris with the failpost.

Watching last night's NYY-BOS game, I kept remarking what the over/under was on when Schlittler inevitably has TJ/UCL surgery.

But can we also talk about the strength and training staff?

I know there’s a bit of chance when it comes to injury, but the oblique and hamstring injuries have to be damning of the staff there, too.

Kind of my thinking. Just put more eloquently. The inability of the ML staff to adapt to how the league approaches these hitters and/or an inability for the hitters to change their approach based on pitching adaptation. These are proven hitters, so I tend to agree it’s highest level coaches.

I think I see where you are going with this, but what’s a great example of this area of failure?

100000x this. I hate ESPN broadcasts generally given what they mic up, but it is so much better worse at Yankee Stadium.

It's not just being used by landlords. It's also being used by some other companies--loan companies and similar.

Oh God, no. No one misses those.

It’s know sarcasm, but a pitching change a batter was terrible.

Oh, I’m regrettably familiar with the Barstool folks. I just had no idea who this clown was. Thanks!

Maybe they just hose him down for the entire game with a special fire hose?

OK, as the "Get Off My Lawn" guy lurking on some O's Bluesky people, who is this clown, and why should I, or anyone, for that matter, care?

US blue collar job growth continues to slow, hitting the lowest levels since 2021 in July. Manufacturing & resource extraction have lost jobs, while gains in construction & transportation have been relatively weak.
