I have concluded we are at the beginning of a four year crossover show between Veep and House Of Cards, and anything I might accidentally see on the news I actively try to ignore is merely a plot twist in this week’s episode. You deal with reality in your way; I’ll deal with it in mine.

The announcer for the #Buckeyes game (Klatt?) has really been straining to try to convince himself or the audience that Illinois is in this game.

Pure will.

Franklin County (OH): 63.7% Harris

Champaign County (IL): 60.9% Harris

Don't hurt yourself straining so hard to find something here. If you take out Chicago and the 3 Cs in Ohio (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati) I suspect the voting demographics are very similar.

I know the Illibuck isn't the dumbest trophy in sports (or even college football) but it has to be on the list based on name alone.

Apparently, as a result of edits to the original Ship Of Theseus wikipedia article, every word of the original has now been replaced. It is still, undoubtedly, the Ship Of Theseus wikipedia article, thus resolving the supposed paradox.

"How much revenue is needed to justify the current level of capex spend... ?"

It's like nobody remembers the late 90s and the internet boom. Looking at total capex spending ignores the fact that most of the companies will fail. The winners will get enormous returns; the losers will burn capital.

Trump outlawed legality, so as long as he wins, who cares? By whatever means necessary, as the man said.

Alberto Florida Man @alschulman.bsky.social · 2d

Well, I never use the other meaning, so yeah 🤷‍♂️

Indonesia is denying Israeli athletes entrance visas, which will prevent them from keeping in the world gymnastics championships.

This is what real solidarity against genocide looks like.

apnews.com/article/indo...

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia will block Israeli athletes from competing at the upcoming gymnastics world championships in Jakarta, a government official said Thursday.

The decision to deny visas to the Israeli athletes comes after their planned participation had sparked intense opposition in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, which has long been a staunch supporter of Palestinians.

Heard Giants-Eagles announcer remind us the Giants get the ball to start the 2nd half and the importance of not giving them a "2 for 1".

There is NO situation in which who gets the ball first in the 2nd half affects ANY decision in the first half. Absolutely zero relevance.

True, other than, well, most everything else that is going on in our country 😳

So 3 points higher than Trump?

Alberto Florida Man @alschulman.bsky.social · 5d

Fair play given how many people refer to the country of Columbia 😂

They finally got one back.

The difference is that even when Pedro was missing sitters nobody ever questioned his effort or work rate. Gazdag isn't a physical presence in the box, he isn't a fighter in tight spaces, his work rate isn't dazzling, he doesn't have super tech skills, and he's not a creative genius. What's to like?

Alberto Florida Man @alschulman.bsky.social · 5d

Not just talent. His work rate, constant effort, and toughness are incredible and infectious. And all that is before you even talk about his smile.

He will always be my favorite Crew player.

Reschedule Pride Month.

At one point Pedro Santos held the record for least accurate shooter in MLS history. He ended his career as a #Crew96 fan favorite. I hope Gazdag can come around. Right now he's in a small class of Crew players who were actively disliked while still with the team. Guzman, Molino, very few others.

Nobody hates “everything about the team”. With very few exceptions we all love our players and we all want #crew96 to win. Because of STC many of us dislike Garber and resent the league. Many of us hate the Haslams’ political donations. Most of us hate what they did to our crest. It’s not random.

This is my takeaway. This is the first time in a while they looked like they were playing Nancyball. Amazing what getting a couple of key starters back does for performance. How long until we get WAA back?

massive317.bsky.social @massive317.bsky.social · 7d

Well, it wasn't perfect, but I watched a team that looked like the #Crew96 I've come to enjoy under Wilfried Nancy and that's a significant improvement vs the last two months (save for 45 minutes in Atlanta) so I'll take it.
