Candlestick Park with astroturf looks very wrong

Only in housing do people have this expectation that the poorest people must afford the newest, nicest things. It’s true that income inequality is too high but there are good ways to address that, and preventing housing construction is not one of them.

I hate it when they assert something is "becoming increasingly common" without any kind of citation of an earlier time when the thing was actually less common.

I wonder how the baseball card makers of this era thought about the "photograph vs. painting" question.

Will Stancil is agitating in Minneapolis In Minneapolis, he pursues ICE and annoys some of his neighbors.

He’s saying Will posed for this photo? www.theverge.com/policy/88102...

I looked at this for 10 seconds before my “no human could possibly solve this” senses were tingling and then put it in an engine and I think I was right. (Don’t tell me you solved it)

I was listening to a Spotify playlist of the top hits of 1991 and every song was total crap except this one.

Are they getting less ideological again now? 20 years ago tax cuts were the #1 biggest part of the Republican party’s brand, and now Trump tariffs are embraced or at least tolerated by the entire party.

Thinking about planning a reunion of people who were active on chess Twitter in 2022

You can export to PGN from both Chessbook and Lichess studies.

Chessbook is not offline in any sense. Neither are Lichess studies, which are what I use (and manually sync to Chessbook). Why is offline important?

My friend who’s a Chessbase true believer uses Chessbook for storing/drilling openings.

Right, and being nationally popular has always been less important for congressional caucus leaders than for presidential candidates, and since it's early 2026, there currently are no presidential candidates.

If your point is that unpopular politicians exist, then I agree with you.

People on this website can be overly negative but Threads shows it’s also possible to be overly positive

This impression you have might be a product of your specific social media diet.

Ah, I looked for this explanation and didn’t find it. Anyway, they need to group this by time control.

And my speed is low because I play slow blitz and am being compared to all blitz players? I hope the stats aren’t actually doing the average by game, which would give more weight to faster time controls because under those, more games can be played in a given time duration.

I have no idea what these things measure. My opponents flag a lot more often than I do.

I’m going to go seven months before changing the batteries in my smoke detector

Kids' socks should come in a pack of 25. There's no reason it needs to be an even number.

From my weekly club game. White to move, mate in 4.

Does this valuation make sense? I pay for Claude Code and it’s amazing, but Google and Open AI have competing products that are reputed to be approximately just as good.
