Ding Liren Is Struggling
There were signs that something might be troubling Ding Liren before he had even won the World Chess Championship. At a press conference…

I wrote about the rough time that Ding Liren has had since winning the World Chess Championship, which was an excuse to write about the rigors of elite competition, social media and AI, and the human condition. hugemantis.medium.com/ding-liren-i...
This angle does not really do it justice and this clip will self destruct, but I have no idea how I even got close to this, let alone stuffed the shot. I was so stunned it wasn't in the net that I managed to hit my head on the boards trying to save the follow up.

Alex Karp is a shitty billionaire nightmare with an advanced case of Tech Brain, but also he’s just a nazi! We have to start making this shit straightforward and clear. If you’re a nationalist conservative with an 11 digit bank account who talks about “Germanic Culture” all the time, that’s a nazi.
And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

Does anyone have a soccer rebounder they really like? My niece wants one for Christmas, and back in my day I just used a wall!

Finally had my first decent game of the indoor season last night, and made a save so outrageous that it made two members of the opposing team look at each other and do the surrender cobra.

This is how you rev up to what I call the “We got the 11 PM slot for our indoor game tonight” mindset.

Being obnoxiously prescriptivist about how other people eat their food is one of the worst types of posting, but I think it's fine when it's Martha Stewart. Live by the sword die by the sword, go to town.

One wonderful thing about this website and X and political discourse in general is that a major swath of liberals don’t understand (or refuse to accept) that people to their left hate Republicans as an article of faith
