According to the club, the name originated in 1896 as the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers. Heavy construction of electric trolley tracks in front of Eastern Park caused fans to dodge the trolleys to reach the park. Those fans became known as Trolley Dodgers and the team took on the name, which was shortened to Dodgers.

A protective wall made of dirt and sand that crosses a road. On one side is old, moss covered lava, and on the other side is fresh lava. There are cars and heavy machinery that look like toy trucks.

I knew that the protective walls they built around GrindavΓ­k to protect the village from the lava were big, but I didn't realise just how huge they are. Here seen with trucks and machinery for scale.

Luigi Mangione, who was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, once belonged to a group of Ivy League gamers who played assassins, a member of the group told NBC News.

In the game, called "Among Us," some players are secretly assigned to be killers in space who perform other tasks while trying to avoid suspicion from other players.

This response from @sbearbergman.bsky.social to @hildur.bsky.social’s post has changed my weekβ€” it is so wholesome, and human, and so the energy we all need right now. And Kerstin Langenberger, the naturalist who posted β€œI am on my way with the necessary equipment”? This woman is the hero we need.

this is what i mean when i said that a lot of normies seem to think chatgpt is an actual agent as opposed to a machine that is trying to predict the token

the latter behavior is useful but not always optimizing for truth
