i am just like shohei ohtani because i too have done most of the work on a group project

The only thing that anyone ever needs to know about Bill Ackman is that he once joined a group of avid long distance bikers from NYC to Montauk and back without training or preparation, arrogant in his ability to "lead the pack" and ended up screaming in agony

THE DODGERS STARTING PITCHER TONIGHT

As I posted this I remembered that I've been at a weekday Marlins game in 2017 which was probably quieter, but I was in the president's box because then-president Dave Samson was a Cardozo grad and I planned a Miami trip during a networking night, aka free booze to make it through a Marlins game

My favorite thing about this video is that the quietest baseball game I've ever been to was at T-Mobile Park (Tuesday night light rain game against the Angels), so for it to get this loud is lovely

It’s also apparent that what they’re selling is not the ability to make anything anyone will care about. They’re selling the ability for hacks to “make something” and feel that momentary feeling of achievement, however thin and meaningless it is. It’s another dopamine hit ephemera machine

As a gay (occasional) screenwriter who has drank my body weight in Natty Bohs a number of times over, I’m allowed to co-sign this

As someone who has largely developed rooting interests in the NBA based on personality/level of hater, Durant is absolutely a GOAT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Certainly looking like this will be the second election in a row where my ballot just vanishes. Good stuff!

A new Fox News poll puts Zohran Mamdani above 50%, and *gaining* since Eric Adams' withdrawal. He has 10 points more than the combination of Cuomo and Sliwa.

Mamdani 52%
Cuomo 28%
Sliwa 14%
Adams still at 2%

(Last month: Mamdani 47%, Cuomo 29%, Sliwa 11%, Adams 7%.) www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

An interesting winkle that I hadn't considered (I assumed it'd be a max of 7 for the winner if the ballot measure passes)

I appreciate Joel going hard here. I'm not fully "they're doomed if they don't make a change", but at the same time, not acting with any apparent urgency with Judge at 34 and Cole at 35 next season (and Rodon 33, Fried 32) is getting kinda insane, as Joel says

A screenshot of my (letterboxd user brobertslol) top 4 films. Synechdoche New York (7.5 on IMDb), Chungking Express (7.9 on IMDb), A Woman Under The Influence (8.0 on IMDb), and Cure (7.5 on IMDb)

Two of my Letterboxd top 4 (including #1) fall in this category, so I tend to agree. And to be frank I'm a little surprised that the other two don't, as I would've thought their "offputting to normies" levels would be higher.

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor. I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor. Who would it be? David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist. Thank you for the correction. Very welcome.

amazing opening

There absolutely are cases brought that are in essence about "feminization", what do they think suits regarding DEI or ESG in finance are about? They're inherently about the perceived wrongs to cis white hetero men. And for the most part, those cases have failed

Also his dumb analogy doesn't hold. First: it's America, of course you can sue! But it's not like there's an "anti-frathouse vibe" law; those cases are tied to actual legal claims. Harassment/abuse/etc. If the guy can find actionable grounds for "made me think about pronouns", knock em dead!

Sometimes you live long enough to see LaMichael James mentioned in a depths of wikipedia article and I think that's neat

As someone who decided earlier this year to deal with my food weirdness by replacing ~70% of my weekly calories with various Huel products- concerning! (But down 35 pounds, even with that extra lead weight)

Grizzly Bear Reunite For First Show In Six Years: Watch A few months ago, Brooklyn indie heroes Grizzly Bear announced plans to get back together and play some shows. It’s not a reunion, exactly, since Grizzly Bear never officially broke up. But they’ve be...

Watch Grizzly Bear reunite for their first show in six years

I was kinda into it from first few eps (as much as one can with a modern network sorta-comedy procedural), but once they had an episode where they had Ken Marino play a weirdo that had absolutely no importance to the plot of the episode? It all clicked

I say this as an only-slightly-ironically fan: yes absolutely. She's thinking! All the time! This has never happened!

Missed out on Rush tickets solely due to an inexplicable Ticketmaster error. Just straight up said "an error occurred" during checkout, then spit me back out to the ticketing page where there were no seats left in the entire venue other than $1000+ platinum seats

and I feel fine

I'm a deeply flawed individual, but I bring joy to the world.

Soldiers at the Bass Pro Shops pyramid in Memphis, TN.

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

Not gonna lie, had no idea Tommy Kahnle was a Tiger/was alive
