we lost so much when JR East threw out all the good train jingles

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS
Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark
Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap
The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name
He did this six times
Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

it was very nice to see pablo torre speak about the "trans athlete question" in the plainest possible terms: it's a moral panic about 0.02% of college athletes to get you mad about that instead of everything else going wrong in your life.
I had the true honor of speaking at the Dodd Center for Human Rights. Thanks to UConn and Prof. James Waller for having me. It's today's episode of PTFO: youtu.be/qrK1x176678?...

They’re giving at The Democrats 2-on-0 fast breaks with Magic and Michael Jordan. They have no idea how to react on defense and their popularity has been cratering consistently for ten straight months.

Sho Tsuboi has now won four SUPER GT top class titles to tie the series record.
He could also win his second Super Formula Championship.
He might just be one of Japan’s best-ever racing drivers, and here’s what’s stunning:
He only turned 30 in May.
