Why not at least dive on Curl there? Hustle a little and you save a turnover.

Trae Young just got traded from the very first team in the league alphabetically to the very last. It's kinda neat when you think about it.

It's kind of funny that the NYCMayor Twitter account just changes names without archiving the old posts so now it's @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's name on all of Eric Adams' old tweets

I'd love to get a ping pong movie that's not a joke with a not-ridiculous main character at some point.

Mark told me this story in person last year, and I was so pleased that a line like "the sound bullets make when they bounce off living flesh" came from a vintage Krypto comic. And it just happens to be the comics page that made him a writer!

It's astounding how consistent this is:

Every photo of Pat McAfee makes him look like the only guy in the movie theater who doesn't understand the big plot twist
Pat McAfee making a face like, "wait...how is Blofield Bond's adopted brother if one of them is German" Pat McAfee making a face like, "whoa...those monkeys flew the Statue of Liberty to another planet??" Pat McAfee making a face like, "wait...the little guy's limp just magically healed itself?" Pat McAfee making a face like, "wait...how could that kid see Bruce Willis if he was a ghost? oh shit...the kid was ALSO a ghost..."

stan rogers' shipwreck song was so inspiring it saved a man's life in an actual shipwreck, hard to beat that
~ Connection to the sinking of the Marine Electric On February 12, 1983 the ship Marine Electric was carrying a load of coal from Norfolk, Virginia to a power station in Somerset, Massachusetts. The worst storm in forty years blew up that night, and the ship sank at about four o'clock in the morning on February 13. The ship's chief mate, 59-year-old Robert M. "Bob" Cusick, was trapped in the deckhouse as the ship went down. His snorkeling experience helped him avoid panic and swim to the surface, but he was left to spend the night alone on a partially deflated lifeboat he eventually reached, in water barely above freezing and air much colder. Huge seas washed over him, and each time he was not sure that he would ever reach the surface again to breathe. Battling hypothermia, he was tempted to allow himself to fall unconscious and be washed away. Just then he remembered the concluding stanzas of "The Mary Ellen Carter". (9) 12:43 三 And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again. Rise again, rise again -though your heart it be broken Or life about to end. No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend, Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again. As Cusick tells in One Warm Line, a documentary about Rogers, he started to sing it and soon was alternately shouting out "Rise again, rise again" and holding his breath as the seas washed over him. (10](11) At seven o'clock that morning a Coast Guard helicopter spotted him and pulled him to safety. 19 Only three men of the thirty-four who had been aboard survived the wreck. After his ordeal, Cusick wrote a letter to Stan Rogers telling him what

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...
One way of thinking about Twitter, especially in the Elon Musk era, is as the latest and most sophisticated version of the mailing lists that have powered the conservative movement, and the various scams and cons and schemes that constitute it, since the 1960s--in other words, as a huge and immediately accessible collection of suckers, waiting to have their avidity and paranoia exploited for cash. The predictions markets here are happy to play the same role with heavy X.com users as crypto scams and meme-stock hustlers did on the same site a few years ago, or as cash-for-gold ads did with Fox News viewers a decade before that, or as direct-mail get-rich-quick schemes did with Goldwater voters deep in prehistory.1 But the demand for dumb money created by the increasing annexation of our everyday social and cultural lives into casino-market hybrids like predictions markets (or, arguably, social media itself2) isn’t going to be satisfied solely by a pre-existing population of Birchite suckers. We talk a lot about the “male loneliness crisis” but in my estimation we don’t talk enough about the “male suckerfication crisis”: The process by which young men are continuously cultivated--by politicians, influencers, podcasters, sportscasters, and the very structure of social networks--as dupes and suckers, both for the enrichment and empowerment of Trumpist politicians and movements but also in service of the profits an ever-expanding roster of gambling and gambling-adjacent industries, among them app-enabled retail day-trading, crypto speculation, predictions markets, and of course, actual sports betting.
