Soccer, basketball, the occasional interesting idea
Correct to assume they’ll separate Round 2 group winners in R3? So if US + Mex both win their R2 groups they can’t draw each other?

Is that a split flap from Oat Foundry in Philly, by chance?

Reporting this insane lawsuit as “just the facts” gives it legitimacy that it just does not deserve.

(AR nerd alert) Travis Landry is a great AR appraiser for comics and toy collectibles, not a sports expert. Leila Dunbar has been their #1 sports appraiser for decades but she must’ve not been there. She may have put a higher price on it.

Oh ffs, context matters. He said it like “oh I would hate to have to use force to do what I want”, not an unequivocal pledge to not invade. Be better.

Back in 1998 I visited Hong Kong for work, and co-workers were taking a hike along Sai Kung Peninsula that weekend so I joined them. After walking for about 2 hours we stopped at a tent restaurant with plastic chairs & no road access, only accessible by foot or boat. Best pepper steak I ever ate.

Anyone who says that wasn’t DPI at the end has massive homer glasses

I used to live in Fitler Square and the walk from my CC office to home took me past Louis’s house on Delancey. And I pointed this out to EVERYBODY who visited. Those who appreciated this fact got to stay longer.

I see mistrial after mistrial for the next decade, a Master’s class in jury selection forthcoming.

Just in case it’s not too obvious: he’s not running to win; he’s running to grift. It’s a racket.

Best American band not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Nominated x10 but the pasty white dude voters couldn’t vote for “disco” so the Hall created a separate lifetime achievement award just to give Nile Rodgers something. Even so, it’s still Bernard Edwards erasure.

Maybe it’s all naïveté on my part but this plan feels… insane? Like, how arrogant do you need to be to demand what’s effectively a citizenship application for a tourist?

Actually, don’t answer that. Yeah we’re screwed.

They’ll take this policy down when the airlines and theme parks and hotel chains bribe him enough to take it down.

That kid should get a courtside seat at the next game. And a better shirt. And a visit from VJ and Maxey.
