Trying to run with endurance the race set before me. Husband to an incredible wife. Father. Somehow still a Pirates fan.

Already see it with replay of stolen bases too. Technically correct that a runner popped an inch off the bag, but is that really what we want to see overturned?

Probably so, as is the diversity present between the Caribbean Islands. More personal preference for me, especially with Indian food, which also has underrated diversity.

D having the combo of Sicily, Greece, Turkey, India, Vietnam, India, Thailand, China, the Phillipines, plus whatever Australia and New Zealand are doing puts them over the top for me. A good overall mix.

Trout in the early 2010s maybe had a larger than 5 WAR gap. Hard to think of another possibility.

🚨Explosive story🚨
The Trump administration is dropping charges against MS-13 gang leaders after they agreed to use their power as gang leaders to support President Bukele’s policies in El Salvador. Remember when Reagan sold missiles to Iran? It’s that bad. Gift link:

Even among the brutal ranks of the transnational gang called MS-13, Vladimir Arévalo Chávez stands out as a highly effective manager of murder, prosecutors say. Known as "Vampiro," he has been accused of overseeing killings in at least three countries: of migrants in Mexico, rivals in El Salvador and his own compatriots in the United States. His arrest in February 2023 was a major triumph for American investigators, who only months earlier had accused him and 12 other gang leaders of terrorism, bloodshed and corruption in a wide-ranging federal indictment on Long Island But the Trump administration has not acknowledged another reason Mr. Bukele would want them back: U.S. prosecutors have amassed substantial evidence of a corrupt pact between the Salvadoran government and some high-ranking MS-13 leaders, who they say agreed to drive down violence and bolster Mr. Bukele politically in exchange for cash and perks in jail, a New York Times investigation found.| The deal with El Salvador heralded by Mr. Trump as a crackdown on crime is actually undermining a longstanding U.S. inquiry into the gang, according to multiple people with knowledge of the initiative. Two major ongoing cases against some of the gang's highest- The dealh also undercut Mr. Trump’s own repeated pledges to dismantle MS-13, a central plank of his tough-on-crime brand. Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an internal memo calling for the "total elimination" of the gang, which the White House has designated as a foreign terrorist organization. In his first term, Mr. Trump established a group of prosecutors and investigators known as Task Force Vulcan that brought expansive cases against the gang's leadership. Some who were part of that effort are now alarmed by the deal with Mr. Bukele, and worry that he wants the gang leaders back to prevent them from revealing damaging information about his government His name was Osiris Luna Meza, and he was a top Bukele aide who ran the Salvadoran prison system. Although Mr. Bukele has long denied having corrupt ties with his country's gangs, Mr. Luna — one of Mr. Bukele's closest confidants - told U.S. diplomats that just such a pact existed between the Salvadoran government and MS-13, according to a State Department cable reviewed by The Times Confessing his "discomfort at the government's interactions" with the gang, the Sept. 10, 2020, cable said, Mr. Luna showed officials at the embassy a security camera screenshot of several masked men entering one of the prisons he oversaw.
