Ahh! This explains the new followers. Welcome!

You should listen to @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social where @michaelcaley.bsky.social and I do soccer yammering that’s occasionally about soccer.

Like today when we talked about Euros (the currency) and the Turkish Lira.

In the replies: “Are you sure that's antisemitic? Can you please explain it to me? That's not really convincing, can you try again?”
In other replies: “Jews run all the media companies, and their Bronze Age beliefs are cruel and scary to all of us.”

Step. On. 🐍

Way down the rabbit hole but my thinking is AKs is more often in spots where all six Aces and Kings are accounted for in other hands while AKo blocks two AKs instead of one making it less likely those cards are already out and extra live A/K is more important to your equity here.
themlg.bsky.social
Because AK removes two AKs combos in a spot where a couple of those value raising ranges include AA/KK/QQ/AKs but not AKo, and since (I assume) the bluff ranges, such as they are, pull from A5s type stuff and the cold 4/5 bluff ranges (I’m speculating) pull from KQs type stuff, AKo plays better?

The question is always is what’s good enough for the person commissioning the art and at what price.

But, like, it’s obviously not a question *for the artist*

This is like the beginning of a personalized Twilight Zone episode crafted specifically for me by ChatGPT.

Infantino writes on his Instagram: "President Donald J. Trump definitely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his decisive actions.👏"

The state of things.

I went to Jewish sleep away camp and we, uh, did not do this. We had color wars between team Hank Greenberg and team Sandy Koufax.

Speaking of. Delighted the six-year-old by finding a K-pop demon hunter Adon Olam this year.

Could say they’re diving whole hog into the antisemitism here.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

This is the kind of shit that a competent regulatory regime should nuke online sportsbooks from orbit for.

You want to be in the pocket of every risk addicted 20-something dude in America you get limits slammed on the size of the edge you can take against them.

The sportsbooks’ advantage is obvious in the data: Operators bring in far more revenue for every dollar wagered on these bets than they do straight bets. Parlays account for about one-third of the total amount wagered, but they generate roughly two-thirds of the sportsbooks’ revenue.

I don’t think she actually cares regardless. But she has a better grasp of how pretending to care is good politics than her peers.

Caught myself singing “everything is gender” to the Lego movie theme the other day.

I definitely think that’s part of it. But I’d guess two generations ago a lot of big non religious families would fall under “started young and kept going” as well.
