...but despite rapidly becoming obsolete - the whole "unprotected" thing being unexpectedly unpopular for entirely predictable reasons - Milan was an important stepping stone towards [checks notes] something that looked even odder.

This here is the unprotected cruiser Milan. Revolutionarily designed to forego guns entirely in favour of a new and exciting revolving torpedo launcher, you can gauge exactly how that experiment went by the fact it entered French service with five guns and no torpedo launcher.

Outdated and inflexible because the Blocks spent a DECADE trying to ignore federal law, because they thought they would win. And now that they've lost, they're pointing at the consequences of their own bad behavior as a justification to damage their community. Ghoulish cry bullies.

The #49ers have promoted LB Eric Kendricks to the active roster The have placed LB Tatum Bethune on IR They have signed Kyzir White to the practice squad and opened the practice window for Jacob Cowing

this is kind of a wild ask but does anyone know how to get in touch with former Atari and Activision programmer Matthew Hubbard?

Pitching in particular feels so capricious when it comes to what HOF voters do and don’t value and this isn’t new.

The Democrat who gets my vote will have one platform: We're putting all these fuckers in jail when elected.

The trademark fiasco adds one more note of hilarity to the A's relocation dumpster fire, but temporarily not being able to rein in bootleg "Vegas Athletics" t-shirt sellers doesn't seem likely to be the biggest roadblock to the team moving to Vegas.

Wolverine is like a gruff dad who says he hates cats and ends up with four of them, except instead of cats it's surrogate daughters

SOURCE: Washington RB Adam Mohammed, one of the top running backs in the portal, is transferring to Cal. The 6-0, 215-pound sophomore ran for 523 yards and 5 TDs and also ranked No. 13 in the nation in kickoff returns.

Only 1 Harbaugh can have success in the nfl at a time. That’s how they keep them in check and stop the casual viewer from getting confused like the mannings

Congrats to the Oakland Athletics of Las Vegas via Sacramento

The longest-tenured coaches following John Harbaugh’s exit from Baltimore: 

- Mike Tomlin, Steelers (hired 2007) - Andy Reid, Chiefs (hired 2013) - Sean McDermott, Bills (hired 2017) - Sean McVay, Rams (hired 2017) - Kyle Shanahan, 49ers (hired 2017)

Would just love one season of Harbaugh & Harbaugh on the sidelines together. I don't care where and what level. Would be peak coaching theater.

Hello I have been to three major gaming hardware company appointments and all of them have had new and significant B2B initiatives in their presentations that have nothing to do with gaming.

Apple Photos Reminds Man He Was Nude In Capitol Building 5 Years Ago

"After January’s fires, subscriptions basically fell to zero, as did advertisers." Reading this, the Post feels like the ideal for what community weeklies used to be. I started my career at one, and some of those days were the best I've had in journalism. We need these publications more than ever.

New phrase just dropped: "Getting tricked by a medium ugly man is like losing at chess to an Atari 2600"

I might as well just put this out there, but DMs are open if anyone wants to hire a writer/editor/multimedia person with: > 15 yrs experience writing/producing video & podcasts for major outlets (PC Gamer, IGN) > Known for fast, clean copy > WFH with HD game capture and high-quality VO capability

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc? He had no idea.

Cause of death: laughing too hard at the A's being denied trademarks for "Las Vegas Athletics" and "Vegas Athletics" by the patent office

OK, hard to label someone good enough for the NBA as "shitty," but Victor Alexander with the Warriors from 1991-1995. Epitome of a "quadruple-A" basketball player (he went on to play well in Europe).

Much like HMS Birmimgham did while supporting the liberation of Bergen, Norway, in 1945 What an experience this must have been for these children after 5 years of occupation #navalhistory

Doug LaMalfa voted against certifying the 2020 election and also supported Trump's election denial efforts.

If this forced the A's to give up the "Athletics" brand, that would be hilarious. After two years of trying to save baseball for my sons, I hope everyone in the A's front office gets a pebble stuck in their shoe that they feel even when they walk barefoot.

Game over man.

TSR should never have removed the Monk class in the second edition of AD&D.

My favorite stadium was the Oakland Coliseum. It was a dump, but it was *OUR* dump.

The FCS title game is drunker than a sailor three hours into shore leave.

first OT in FCS championship history. God is good.

BlueSky is a football school

The universe is coming apart at the FCS title game.

If you like college football, tune into Illinois State-Montana State in the FCS title game.

What freelancers do I know in LA?

While so many people love this episode for everything that happens after eating the peppers, I find the first part is my favorite portrayal of Homer Simpson -- finding something truly trivial to excel at and wading in, boots, spoon and all. (And yes, I love the line, "Less Artsy, More Fartsy."

Rebranding Office to Copilot sure feels like a "New Coke" moment for Microsoft.

"Microslop"?

now that i’ve seen lord of the rings, i can truly appreciate all the memes

Hapatra is one of my favorites, and I'm eager to check out this Commander deck and start tinkering with it with parts I've collected for a Hapatra deck.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski of the Cleveland Browns relieved of duty.

"...we could talk about VR, we could talk about the metaverse, we could talk about crypto. While uniquely different in some ways, they have a few things in common, and one of them is that they always promise to be this next big solution. And I just disagree. It's just historically incorrect."

How funny would it be for Lane Kiffen to leave Ole Miss to better win a national championship ... then Ole Miss goes on to win one this year without him?

Seattle view: The Seahawks playmakers were outstanding. They forced 18 missed tackles (via @PFF). S.F. view: The 49ers defense was horrendous. They missed 18 tackles. Both statements are accurate.

Circling back here—Seattle didn’t play a single snap in base. All nickel/dime vs SF’s 21 personnel, and they held CMC to under 3 yds a pop. Just a perfectly built defense for modern football.

The 2025 Niners are among the biggest teases in sports. I viewed every win after Fred Warner's injury as gravy and allowed myself to get excited that a young D could make a deep postseason run despite the injuries.

49ers' defense just hasn't been able to set the edge against the Seahawks' running game.
