SIR MIX-O-LOTL

eldest asked me to teach them some trigonometry. i refused — children shouldn't have to bear the sines of the father

i've come up with a solution to the judge-raleigh debate: i should be american league mvp

good morning, Seattle :)

Probably the essay that people bring up to me the most. I’ve had writers in crowded magazine parties tell me how much they liked it.

the problem is posting and the solution is more posting

was looking back through chats to find my first impressions of cal raleigh, major leaguer. it's a wonder that i haven't been hired as a scout yet

september 2001. a time when america, famously, was not doing a lot of partying

sad to report that the mariners can no longer claim a wild card spot BECAUSE THEY WON THE AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST INSTEAD

Chotiner: So you chose to kill your slavewomen as well as the suitors who had taken over your home. Why? Odysseus: Well, I was in a frenzy understandably, plus they had probably slept with the suitors. C: Ah. And as slaves did they do this voluntarily? O: I didn’t ask because C: They were dead?

if anyone ever shoots me to death i want one of you to go to the scene of the crime with a sharpie and write 'i'm envious of how sexy graham is' on all the spent cases

This is very good and reminds me of a point I always make when people say you can’t shame people out of being bigots. You can’t, but you can make them behave better by not creating a culture of permissiveness when they do

CHOTINER: You enjoy a late night snack. ME: *chuckles* guilty as charged CHOTINER: You mentioned previously that plums are a favourite. ME: Oh. This. CHOTINER: Straight out of the icebox. ME: I can assure you that I was not aware that they were for breakfast. CHOTINER: okay, but this note...

i think we can call this dream officially dead

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

sad that mlb didn't adopt my proposal, which was identical but also formally disbanded the texas rangers

when i was 10 i would also befriend anyone willing to talk to me about star wars so i get it

mariners magic number down to three and starting a home series against one of the worst teams in the history of baseball. naturally i am virtually incapacitated with dread

To celebrate the release of Alaa Abd el-Fattah from prison, the ebook edition of YOU HAVE NOT YET BEEN DEFEATED, tr. an anonymous collective, is available to download for free for the next week via all ebook platforms, including Kindle and Apple Books, until 30 September.

shelf cute, might delete later

this is heartbreaking reading the shit we make these people put up with and the square root of fuck all we give them and at no point will the BBC reflect on how their own reporting helped create the unbelievably hostile environment they have to endure

i know lots of people with autism and they are all very cool

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Look, when you're a zombie star eating the entrails of a hot planet, sometimes you just need to cool things down a bit. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/astronomer... 🔭🧪

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles

HUGE HUGE NEWS FROM EGYPT!! Egyptian President Sisi has issued a presidential pardon for activist and blogger Alaa Abdel Fattah.

it's like this team doesn't even want a wild card berth

i don't want reform to send me back where i've come from because it's milton keynes

i have missed why people keep bringing up the rapture and can only assume it's something to do with seattle sweeping the astros

Anchiornis on display at the National Natural History Museum in Beijing, with focus on its lovely feathers.

There was absolutely *no* reason for the news to look the way it did last week, especially on the BBC of all places, beyond the fact that a large swathe of the media (particularly the upper echelons) have been captured by the Twitter machine and have substituted the 'map' for the territory.

The reduction in the number of people coming to the United Kingdom is going to improve Labour's polling, the political debate around immigration and the British economy any day now.

from the game state it looks like leicester are defending ok but what’s actually happening is that the they’re leaving huge gaps and macario kaptein and baltimore keep missing them

the epic collapse continues

You can hear Goldy losing his shit during the Astros broadcast lmaooooooooooo

Matt was a lovely bloke who really cared about his players, I don't know anyone who covered women's football in England who's ever had a bad word to say about him. Women's football is poorer for his passing.

nothing against the detroit tigers but as a Mess fan i'm enjoying the state of the al central race

everyone slating bob sanchez but he didn't let in any goals today

at least this match is objectively funny enough that i'm partially disassociating from my anger

if people have anything interesting to say they should write it down so i can read it

sad to see the mariners' wild card hopes collapsing like this smh

okay we get it, it's a boy

the 2-1 win against city women to start the season is looking increasingly impressive

come work at the @theverge.com! we're hiring a senior video producer to help us make the best tech videos on the internet job-boards.greenhouse.io/voxmedia/job...

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’ Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros. The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

it’s almost like elite institutions aren’t my friend

63% of the armed forces come from private school?!

Ohtani watching Treinen, “I’ll do whatever it takes to stop this”

decided to try out a new (to me) fine press from canada. exciting!
