It's rather incredible to me how many sports outlets' primary takeaway from this livestream was that Nacua criticized NFL refs and not that he did something EXTREMELY antisemitic during it. AA is practically the only one to actually highlight this.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

lmao they put the World Cup in America and now it's got commercial breaks.
News: Every 2026 World Cup match will feature two "hydration breaks," no matter the weather.
Each half will pause for exactly three minutes midway through.
It's a player welfare measure. It also has sporting & commercial implications.

2026 World Cup to feature three-minute hydration breaks in every half throughout tournament
Every game will pause for three minutes in the middle of each half, which will essentially split the match into quarters.

Watching the FIFA draw, I’m reminded of one thing the NHL absolutely gets right that other sports should follow: relentlessly booing the commissioner every time he is in front of any audience.

When I was a new parent, getting my children their vaccines on schedule was always a huge sigh of relief. It's heartbreaking when kids are sick, and to have the chance to give them protection against debilitating illnesses is a medical marvel
Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

Gotta say: a lot more interested in the foods you like, the albums you love to listen to, the movies you rewatch. Maybe that makes me a Pollyanna or someone not motivated to recreate the Rage Bait Industrial Complex again so the worst folks get elevated once again.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

The most pub trivia flex in the history of pub trivia flexes
A group of us were banned from a local organization's quarterly charity trivia night because we had too many Jeopardy! champions on the team.
Yall ever been kicked out of a bar or club? Like are you banned from anywhere. 😂

Lions were as sharp as a butter knife off the bye in the playoffs last year and they're duller than a one-string guitar solo today out of the bye. Whatever they're doing on the breaks sure as hell ain't working
