The good thing with the Pacers trade protection is that there is now literally no difference to them between worst and 4th worst. Takes a little stress out of a few enjoyable wins here and there.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

I had a feeling Zubac had an ankle issue
Rick Carlisle says that all four players in the Clippers trade have to pass physicals and be cleared. After that, the earliest Ivica Zubac and Kobe Brown would join the team is in New York. They play the Knicks next Tuesday.
Zubac might debut later because of an ankle issue.

Hi. It's me again. Just hear to remind you that it's doxing not doxxing because 2 x's make the same sound as 1 x.

My 4-year-old decided this winter that all outfits must have 6 total buttons, or zero. Good thing the standard toddler cardigan has 5 buttons
that thing where your child won't pick out their sweater so you pick out their sweater but that sweater, upon review, does not align with their vision, so now, .05 seconds before the bus arrives, they WILL go pick out their own sweater, actually-- love that. best way to start the day

It's kind of amazing how the worst consequence many of our most powerful people can conceive of is someone being mad at them online, to the degree that they are driven to distraction about it even in the abstract.
It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

If you’re at the 45th parallel in the U.S. you’ll get a lot of reminders you’re there, especially at the 45-90 marker near Wausau, Wisconsin, the center of the NW Hemisphere. But as the 45 marker in Peshtigo, Wisconsin, tells you, you’re not actually midway between the Equator and the North Pole.
![A hard-to-read Latitude North 45 N marker on a stone near Peshtigo, Wisconsin. It reads:
Theoretical Half Way Point
North Pole [right arrow]
3117.55 miles
Equator [left arrow]
3097.39 miles
The spheroidal shape of the earth makes degrees of latitude in the north longer than in the south. The true half-way point between pole and equator on Highway 41 is marked 710 feet north of Menominee. On Highway 141 see marker 3/4 mile north of Beaver.

The war on work from home is in large part a war on women having a career btw
Roughly half a million women in the US exited the workforce in 2025, and 42% of those who voluntarily left cited their caregiving responsibilities as the main reason, according to a recent survey from Catalyst.

I recently learned that the "lamps are going out..." quote wasn't published until 1925, 7 years after the end of WWI. Just a guy going "yeah, I totally called it 11 years ago, with a really bad-ass quote"
