THIRD HOMER GOOD LORD

he hits the ball more often than the average player, but it's certainly true that he tends to hit it harder than pretty much anyone else. it's definitely not just because the pitches he hits are faster. that's very clearly not the explanation of what he does lol

He also has 10 strikeouts through 6 innings in this same game btw

Yeah I’m not making an argument against blocking the accounts. I think if people don’t wanna see them, then sure, go for it. But there’s a lot of admonishing people to block them and being mad about them being verified that isnt naturally explained on that way of thinking about it, seems to me

The United States government doesn’t need bsky for attention or legitimacy, is I guess something I think that is making me confused about the reaction I’m seeing

Don’t really mean anything by it, but don’t immediately understand the impulse to block governmental accounts on here, or get mad about such accounts being verified

Interesting that cal raleigh instantiated the classic 2 chainz lyric ‘she got a big booty so I call her “big booty”’

Super fun though!

I’m in a position to report that 7 straight hours of social metaphysics and metametaphysics is ‘a lot’

Good time to repeat Brett’s story about a child of two professors who referred to their preschool friends as ‘their colleagues’

I think this is right—he’s very politically skilled—but I also think there’s a totally legible sense in which he is ‘authentic’ relative to other politicians: he’s animated by genuine first-order political values and commitments, which (it seems to me) is relatively uncommon among politicians

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."

That’s right mother fuckers, it’s a two-dimensional semantics joke. Sorta. Deal with it

republicans love to call trayvon martin a thug and then when some vile racism leaks go 'please show some empathy. he's a mere child, a babe, a lamb. it's so unfair to expect a poor 32 year old who works full time in politics to not be racist'

everyone who lives in toronto proper reading this is like '...goddamnit. that's a good joke'
