Lots of folks want to have a gotcha, "did you know: America has always had corruption!" No shit. But did you know: a huge reason millions of people came to this country was because it was *better* at things like the rule of law and not being openly corrupt. For real. bsky.app/profile/anil...

I think a lot of people who are distant from immigrant communities really don't realize the things that have been amazing and positive about America that drew so many people here. It's probably worth articulating that this is one of the things we're defending.

as good as they uh, can be

hallelujah he is risen

(hope you are well, my friend)

crazy that we have the level of talent in our ranks to be sort of holding onto the series and winning the occasional test even with these unbalanced XIs, questionable selections and tactics and drama. imagine what can be achieved by a competent coach playing a sensible XI

besides, not sure that a guy who tries to win tests by sacrificing bowling depth for top-heavy XIs can even be said to understand cricket, let alone be qualified to coach a test team

100%, I have been yelling about his unsuitability as a leader and mentor since the day he was first rumoured, and that was when Rohit/virat/Ashwin were still around. If anything, the loss of those 3 makes it even more important for gambhir to be neutralised

GG was explicitly stated as being safe for now, supposedly because no one wants a change at the top with a team in transition

did you see the report that says a review is basically assured after this tour… but only morkel and tendo are in danger, as are a couple of the selectors

to hear sitanshu kotak tell it, there was likely a genuine issue with the groundsman being unreasonable. but of course GG has to barrel in, in the most grossly inappropriate way imaginable, surrendering whatever little high ground the team may have

a-grade asshole

i have still not forgiven the conniving bastard for the toss piss-take in the 2011 world cup final and do not believe that i will ever do so in my lifetime

and who can blame them

arshdeep arshdeep arshdeep. arshdeep must be given a shot

but who are we kidding, they will scapegoat siraj and one guy will find a way to shoehorn harshit into the XI

(a) getting by, (b) lol

oh no you don't! claim them for NYC, I mean.

madras dosa co is owned by flying lion hospitality, from boston.

they own a crazy number of concepts around these parts, all 21st c. takes on indian cuisine

some scammers have a dataset associating numbers with places and name the local toll system based on that. i get scam texts naming EZ pass MA specifically, despite my number having a non-local area code
