This is the first time in Yankees history that they have won just one World Series in a quarter-century.

Did they have to win specifically for acting or could they have won for writing and/or producing/directing the movie they acted in?

Saw it when it first hit DVD and my main memory is wishing the "M aime M" bit translated better into English. Gonna have to give it a revisit soon.

True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?
Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

So in the new Tron movie, Tron comes out? I've seen the other Tron movies and you go into Tron, Tron doesn't come out, you go in. What even is Tron to you? youtu.be/8cdBcfLhJVY?...

This is it. Trump is not a historical aberration; Trump is a reminder that after decades of comforting platitudes about the arc of history, something approaching actual democracy in this country is barely 50 years old.

For diff reasons, there are people who say if u look at the grand scheme of American history, Trumpism isn’t all that divergent from what America is, and yes exactly that’s why it’s so titanically bad

Seems to me the line of thinking is “I feel something for my chatGPT, and my feelings must be legitimate, therefore your denigration of chatGPT deligitimizes my feelings.” Complete self-absorption that begins with the abdication of interrogating why/how they might develop the feelings they have.

KATABASIS had me from page one and kept me through to page 541 because Rebecca Kuang writes with her heart and her influences on her sleeve. Surprising, engaging, and maybe even enlightening? I can’t say it’s fun—C.S. Lewis once said that… www.instagram.com/p/DPZ72-cAW3...

Kaleb Horton’s mom has written some comments and asked to spread her thanks for everyone online who’s been sharing their appreciations: “you all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.”

Matt, I do not have much of a social media presence and have no idea how to deliver a message to all of the amazing people who have sent me messages and been so kind and supportive so if that is something you are able to do I would so appreciate it. I am so overwhelmed with my world just ending but you are all so kind and so supportive of Kaleb and I feel so inadequate to honor him with his peers. Just pass along any way that you can that you all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.

I work from home about 2 miles from the airshow and it has been BLESSEDLY quiet today. I'll take it.

Look, these are trying times, so we need to find the joy where we can.

Today was meant to mark the first day of the Pacific Airshow, a wildly controversial event here in HB. Our city council is deep in bed with the owner, and it’s a whole mess.

Due to the government shutdown, no fed planes can fly
