Not much earlier. The trade can't become official until the 2nd, which means the first team bears all the injury risk until then. Especially for Huff, who has 17M fully guaranteed remaining. So it'd be awkward: trade team wants Huff in shape b/c paying 17M, Eagles want him doing nothing.

@aaronschatz.com Nice bold takes article, but unlike releases, you can't designate trades as post-June 1. They have to actually happen in June.

Also was only fooled by the hot Nazis, of which there are none here

Indy is also 100% not fooled by people pretending not to be Nazis

The explosives weren't active: in the document it mentions they were inert.

(I may or may not have broken down Ghostbusters' characters and development in college, why do you ask? 🤣)

All of the 3 original Ghostbusters are *supposed* to be weird. You get an intro to that super fast (Venkman's a creep, Egon tried to drill a hole in his head, Ray let Venkman take out a horrible mortgage and got suckered into buying a rustbucket). Winston's there to stress "these guys are weird"

That movie had *TWO* cultural touchstones!

First is the song (obviously)
and the second is popularizing the phrase "X is toast" which mostly *did not exist* prior to Bill Murray ad libbing it.

I mean, you're literally supposed to hate Venkman at the start of the first two movies. He's an utter creep in the first and a total fraud in the second. And then you slowly get invested in this creep guy becoming not one.

note Winston (the everyman) never does anything remotely iffy in either

But! That's a bull$#!+ number, because generally, the writing part of a person's day is low calorie usage, which means for a typical US diet, they're *carbon negative* for that portion.

"that's the total energy to keep a human ALIVE"

More than alive. It aggregates everything they're doing *including using ChatGPT*. Actual energy cost to keep a human alive is absurdly tiny (order 100W) - so 0.1 kWh, or ~20 grams CO2e.

I'm constantly astounded at how any adult American can be so ignorant of what *fascism* is!

what he's neglecting to mention is that fascism is historically successful at stopping __everything__

my job also involves lots of computer
I *do* understand the computer. that guy's *easy*

I mean if you apply the standard 10x multiplier for Musk in the correct direction, it's still insane but not like, wacko insane

Patrick Allison @dbarawn.bsky.social · Oct 28

of course if people don't realize that Musk just makes up numbers constantly left and right, that's an *additional* problem.

Dude has never met a deadline or estimate he couldn't just blow right past

The building on fire (Fort Rapids) is a pretty darn visible building to anyone who drives through central Ohio on I-70 : it's right off the first exit heading west after the 270 split.

It's also this huge TikTok thing - if you've seen stuff like "America's Largest Abandoned Waterpark" - that's it.

Patrick Allison @dbarawn.bsky.social · Oct 28

Seriously, how doesn't Jeff Oh Kern have a Wiki page.

Bought stuff at auction cheap, refused to sell/upkeep them - his asking prices were absurd and was almost impossible to contact.

Sentenced to jail time (avoided, I think?) multiple times, has multiple warrants out

Whines to court every time

Patrick Allison @dbarawn.bsky.social · Oct 28

The history behind this thing is insane.

It closed in 2016 due to code violations.
Bought at auction in 2017 by Jeff Kern, Ohio Slumlord
Kern refuses to sell stuff despite abandoning them
Kern's legal troubles blew up in past few years
Declared a public nuisance
Suddenly sold
Massive fire

Jets flop again, vs. Pats: 'A moment of darkness'

The Jets dropped their fifth straight game, a demoralizing 25-22 loss to the Patriots, on Sunday at Gillette Stadium -- one of the franchise's lowest points in recent memory.
