DOJ in Trouble After Lawyers Reposted Trump Rants on Luigi Mangione The Justice Departmentโ€™s case against Luigi Mangione just hit a major obstacle.

Justice Department lawyers reposted President Trumpโ€™s statements and may have inadvertently endangered their prosecution of Luigi Mangione, violating the judgeโ€™s explicit orders that DOJ employees refrain from public comment about the case. trib.al/b9U7CY1

I could be convinced that there is value in having the coaches positioned as an intermediary and conduit of analyst data to prevent individual overwhelm from multiple sourcesโ€ฆ but only if those coaches are equipped to and enthusiastic about doing so.

Clayton Kershaw is now the second pitcher ever to give up 100 or more earned runs in the postseason. He's at 102. Andy Pettitte gave up 117, but Andy Pettitte also pitched 80 more innings than Kershaw has.

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced โ€”and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckettโ€™s most famous work without knowing anything about it

This is what every Democratic state needs to do, tell its state university leaders that they will lose all state appropriations if they sign the compact. Take the decision out of feckless college administratorsโ€™ hands.

Thank you for prompting me to realize I've been getting Lee Greenwood confused with Lee Hazelwood. The suggestion is even more embarrassing than I previously understood it to be.

There are also materials used in renewable processes and such that we currently only produce as a byproduct of burning oil/gas. Maybe someday electricity *is* the byproduct, but yeah it will be very difficult to eliminate hydrocarbon extraction and processing.

The fact that official federal government social media accounts are being operated by openly white supremacist fascists should probably be more of a story than is currently registering.

Dems are talking kitchen table issues while @whitehouse is tweeting about sucking the marrow from people's bones.

I remember when SORA came out and everyone was like "wow, you didn't say what data you trained this model on and it takes up an obscene amount of compute for videos that look like garbage, will either of those things be problems?"
