Goddammit, you were all supposed to wait until like next Monday for this… our economy is being destroyed on a whim, and we were supposed to have one lousy weekend to (possibly) enjoy before we all lose our jobs.

The Gate (1987) with a very young Stephen Dorff is somewhat of a classic starter horror film for kids probably 11-12+

Buck calling for (and willing) a ground ball so he could walk off with his team, might be my favourite homer commentator moment of all time.

Perhaps we should start by not having people spend 10, 20, or 30+ years in city council, as if it’s some sort of entitlement.

I cannot comprehend the narcissism and self delusion involved in spending decades in municipal government.

What Job Is A Guy With A Nazi Tattoo Qualified For? | Defector The man that my wife and I found ourselves talking to at the bar of a restaurant in Rockland, Maine in the summer of 2019 had arrived in town as your fancier visitors do, which is by boat. He told us ...

This @davidjroth.bsky.social piece from last week was also very much worth reading.

He was so good in that small, pivotal role in The Spectacular Now

Yes, that small group of Rangers like “Strider”, the Dúnedain. 🤓

They need to chase these two out of the stadium.

I mean, I have to carry around a picture of your dad in my wallet, take that hat off.

Just once can we “zig” when everyone else “zags”?

The Iraq War was a long time ago.

They just missed a great opportunity to pull Barger for Straw there, so I don’t know about their chances early.

Edgerton and Pratt, just a couple of soldiers really good at soldiering.They’d rather be playing horseshoes in the desert with their buddies, but duty to country calls.
Wholesome look at the lives of SEALs, instead of the tales of drug trafficking, murder, and war crimes we hear about 15 years later

ZD30 fetishizes the CIA and special forces to a degree where they are beyond criticism, because their responsibilities are beyond our simple minded comprehension. It’s basically an elaborate, 2.5 hour version of the, “You want me on that wall!” speech, using real events and people.

Ex-SEC Official Slams Bill Ackman's 'Very Illegal' Proposal Urging NYC Mayor Adams To Bet On Cuomo's Polymarket Election Odds Former SEC chief of staff Amanda Fischer on Sunday blasted billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman's suggestion to NYC Mayor Eric Adams on a Polymarket betting deal, calling it "very illegal." Ackm...

I’d say it’s more likely that people like Ackman feel they can still peel off a few points of support by manipulating the odds, making it appear that Mamdani’s support is collapsing.

They in overdrive pushing news media to pound that narrative into the ground.

Can’t wait to hear “strong condemnation” from Dem leadership, when ICE starts regularly setting up in front of (or inside) polling stations.

“In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration, that enforcement of immigration laws does not constitute ‘voter intimidation’.”

This is going to be the inning…

At this point, with like 4 huge holes in the lineup, I think the most inexplicable decision was taking Barger out.

OMFG

Hoping we all get to see Little vs. Kershaw

That IKF at bat is why they sent Schneider

Unfortunately, that’s an even more obvious IW than Ohtani. Vladdy gets walked in April in that spot

Think about what the situation is there.

The Jays inning ends up riding on IKF

Umm, Vladdy is not hitting there.

Only 6 inches high, delayed call, and cost them a run
