I remember from the 80s
4x Islander Stanley Cups
86 Mets World Series
86 Giants Super Bowl
One thing I remember from the early 80s was the generic foods aisle. (Where I shopped.) White boxes marked "macaroni and cheese" and cans marked "chili" and "beer." (Mac and cheese? 25 cents, or about 80 cents today.)
That recession, and the unemployment it brought, was brutal.
Wasn't there a point in the early 80's where unemployment in the US approached 10%? Some of my friends from that time have fond memories of unemployment checks, food stamps, and other not so fun things

The thing I have learned from this World Series is that if you don't drop routine fly balls or forget how to hit, you can be very competitive with the Dodgers.

Toronto and LA in a game 7. Hope the umpires don’t miss a Gretzky high stick tonight.

All politics is local. In Both space and time.
About New York in 2025.
About any other plac no.
About NYC in 1995, 2010, or 2028. nah as well.
About New York? Absolutely!

About American politics more generally? Nah.
If Mamdani prevails against the persistent often vile attacks of billionaires and wins an election in a city with the same population as the entire state of Virginia, I think that tells us something.

Take from last night’s game: Three constants in the universe. Death, Taxes, and good pitching beats good hitting.

As usual for Jack Watling, this is a fabulously data & evidence-rich paper on what the Ukrainian battlefield looks like today. A pivotal role for drones & ground robots—but also for tanks, armour & artillery, each coming into its own at different moments in an assault www.rusi.org/explore-our-...
