If your superstar doesn’t get the job done you just accept it. You can’t take the bat out of his hands there, now he might not get the chance to bat again

With that favorable bounce on the wall that’s just a criminal call by the third base coach

Why does every manager and third base coach who faces the dodgers immediately lose all brain function

Apologies to Messrs. Jordan and James, but Stephen Curry is the greatest basketball player of all time

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Linda: “Who do you think did it, Bobby? *gasps* I bet it it was one of those Gen Z nazi people! What do they call them, gropers?”

Bob: *sighs* “No, Lin, they’re called groy… you know what, actually that’s close enough.”

Remember the man by his words.

oh no not the Hitler Youth guy

it’s so funny because trumpet/cornet can be such a melodic, sweet, and beautiful instrument when played with restraint and control, it’s just not in the culture of competitive young trumpeters to do so because it’s all about shout sections and swearing you hit a triple high C the other day

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

shea do you have a single hating bone in your body? your enthusiasm for the game itself is honestly admirable, I could never do it. I’m out here rooting against the thunder like they kicked my grandma’s cane out from under her for no other reason than I think SGA is slightly overrated

are you adhd by any chance? because i’m this same way tbh, I take prescribed adderall and barely notice a difference while apparently it affects normal people enough to be one of the most restricted drugs in the country lol

it’s honestly impressive just how much Evil these fascists managed to pack into a single bill

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Follow NFL needed 24 votes today to ban the Tush Push, but got only 22. Here are the 10 teams that voted against the Tush Push ban, per sources: Eagles Ravens Browns Lions Jaguars Dolphins *Patriots Saints Jets Titans 1:46 PM • May 21, 2025 • 3.1M Views

seated in valhalla, odin smiles down upon these teams:

Call the goal an OG and that might change tbf, it’s debatable whether Johnson successfully took a “shot”. Which really is the most beautiful part of that game if you think about it.

To limit “fantasy” to worldbuilding where magic can only explicitly be without rules is to completely stifle the genre and remove the possibility of any magic being deliberate.

If it can be controlled, it ipso facto could be understood, and thus people would logically seek to understand it better.

I’d argue because he directly engages with the idea of “magic is just science we don’t understand yet” in the worldbuilding itself, yet still always incorporates aspects of magic that are more mystical, he negates the possibility of it even being a criticism, because it is both scifi *and* fantasy.

This is what, for all the (debatable) criticism of his prose, Sanderson is so good at. Rhythm of War, the fourth Stormlight book, goes into this paradox in depth as two researchers, one ancient and magical and the other a normal human, try to innovate in the magic system via the scientific method.

Tottenham vs United for a european trophy and a CL spot, call that El Assico

we love a pittsburgh left

I just think a team shouldn’t be allowed to vote to ban it until they prove they can also execute it at a 60% success rate

brains absolutely cooked to mush. what do you do when a quarter of the country has been rendered functionally braindead?

listen, liberal democracy is the only viable system of governance imo,,

but. come on. these people’s votes should not count as much as mine.

add it all to the dossier for the 2029 Mar-a-lago Trials

It feels like you’re just looking for a fight here. The quote poster in question never said it was a bad *idea* just that it was bad, ie “damaging to educational development (relative to normal schooling).” It was the only humane option and the right choice, but it was still educationally damaging!

I mean the main takeaway from that series is “Steph is still the most important center of gravity in the NBA”

this was genuinely me locked in watching Andor

like, nobody is saying you have to be 100% switched-on-extrovert at all times, just that it’s healthy and freeing for us all to engage like that sometimes.

“but people are weird” okay and social isolation only makes people weirder and worse.

some of y’all too-online-leftists forget the “social” part of “socialism” and the “community” part of “communism”

the atrophy of interpersonal interaction, on the societal scale, is part of what has led us to the apathy that has ushered in modern fascism

“love your neighbor” and all that
