San Antonio Spurs was the very first team I ever cared about at the age of 8 or 9 when Tim and David won their first championship. Manu is favorite player NBA history. Across all of my teams I only own one jersey and it's his. I am so excited for this next chapter of the Spur's team.

American Pipe Dream is a website I'd recommend for vintage military stuff.

I have returned to the question, that this far only baseball has made me feel: Am I having fun with this?

I don't think you're wrong and I think a Mariner vs Dodgers could just be chaos.

Unironically my friends and I have joked about how I, the 5'4 humanities minded therapist, really should be looking for a 5'8+ STEM focused queen.

I think my favorite part of Sinners is that at the end of it, the vampires still aren't as bad as the racists/KKK. They're just still objectively worse then the unholy undead.

The only practical use I've thought of for generative LLM's is as a disability aid. And I think even then we have like 500 steps we need to enact surrounding how we as a society treat people with disabilities before LLM's should ever be implemented.

I've been thinking about how folks have been saying "we need to bring back shame," and the truth of the matter is we can't. They probably already feel a deep shame because they're experiencing loneliness. This loneliness epidemic is likely A core aspect that's breeding so much nihilism too.

Mobilizing another states national guard in another state seems like it's already across the Rubicon in terms "declaration of civil war" to be honest.

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this.

Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.  

All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers.  
We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah.  

Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time.β€―Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

........we really need to give more of a shit about our municipal governments more. Power, sewage, internet, and transit are absolutely public goods that should be operated by the municipality. I'd also say grocers.

We could have a sprawling train system and universal health care. Likely universal housing too. Instead we have slop stolen from superior human craft art.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

Senior care in America is truly despicable. It's fucking infuriating that a senior transport service can't take a patients hand to help them down two or three steps because of they do fall they're liable. I don't blame the transport service for having that rule, more that our society forces it.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
