Is Marc Márquez the GOAT? That's a big question! What is without doubt is that he now has the longest MotoGP championship-winning career in history at 13 years, which betters Agostini, whose titles span 10 years, and Rossi, whose titles span 9 years www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

Those Repsol crashes from Marquez’s victory reel are heinous. We Ducatisti were enjoying Ducati’s ascension after more than a decade in the wilderness, so seeing HRC descend was a bonus. But damn those crashes are reminiscent of the cartwheeling high sides of the 500 2-strokes.

🇺🇦 There are hardcore fans, and then there's Ukrainian fans!! 🏁 Yeah yeah, there's a terrorist air raid underway in Kyiv, but Marc Marquez is about to win an historic title and we can't miss that!! 🤯 Slava Ukraini!!! 💙💛

Hopefully, someone let’s Dr. Joaquin Sanchez Sotelo and his team know that the motorcycle racer they worked on a few years ago managed to get back to the top of his sport.

Re: Pecco - Ducati probably don’t want to admit how simple/obvious the correct changes were in hindsight! This win is bittersweet stuff for Pecco, but at least now there’s hope. He must be looking across the garage and thinking “I hope that dude gets old or gets bored real soon”. 😆 Forza Pecco!

There’s a chance that age and wear could start chipping away at Marc Marquez in the foreseeable future, but the man is only 32 and he looks to be at the peak of his powers. Motorcycle racing is a young man’s game, but how dangerous is a fully fit, wizened, less crash prone MM93 on the best bike? 🤯

Made it all the way to grid formation before I feel asleep. Damn being old and damn this sinus infection. It was inevitable, but that doesn’t diminish Marc Marquez’s return to the top step. The stop for a short film on the cool down may have been a bit much, but it has been a journey. Congrats MM93!

This is where we are in the US right now. A tiny mass of people who vastly overestimate their numbers, their capabilities, and their operational potential are calling for blood in the streets. “The law is not enough...Is this a call for violence? Yes. Explicitly it is.” Nightmare stuff.

If you see this, quote with an image from a game that released the year you were born.* *If you want to, I'm not the boss of you, aren't games about agency? WTF, etc.

A lot of quotes from Pecco and the team referring to his struggles in the past sense. I hope that’s true! Would be great to see Marc wrap up the title and Pecco genuinely return to form in the same weekend!

”We live in a democracy with boundless capacity, yet it is held hostage—openly and in bad faith—by private money and the austerity habits it demands. If democracy fails, it will not be because the public’s appetite was absent, but because we accepted private money’s “no” at face value.” Fuckin’. A.

"The double-tailed monster of immigration and green energy". We're in the Idiocracy folks. Nothing makes more sense than expanding renewable energy resources while enriching our society by attracting the rest of the world's best and brightest to a land of plenty and opportunity.

What are my fellow heathens and owners of souls doomed to eternal damnation planning post-Rapture tomorrow? I feel like it should be safe to setup lunch at a local Indian or Thai spot, right?

Marc doing near identical lap times on the GP24/GP25 at Misano likely sparked the idea that Ducati may disguise a roll back to an updated variant of the GP24 through the universal distribution of a homologated “GP26” next season Goos! A bike that brought AM73 this close to MM93 is a special machine

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to use TikTok. The least trustworthy people on Earth own the least trustworthy social media platform on Earth. What could possibly go wrong?

Gary Stevenson doesn't miss. I hope our friends and family in the UK are preparing to be living some variant of that post-Constitution US life soon.

My mom was an educator for nearly 40 years. There are people in this country declaring people committed to education as traitors and enemies of the state. The real traitors are the people actively attacking education.

We'll just build a Dyson sphere around the solar system!

So this reaffirms what we already knew: the GP25 requires a different riding style and it seems Pecco is not going to get there. It looks like Ducati are ramping up the pressure on Bagnaia. This probably goes more Schumacher-Barrichello than Rossi-Lorenzo. PB63 on a Yamaha in 2027 after all? 🤯

Gone fishing sketch. #art #sketch

This doesn't bode well for AM73's prospects relative to MM93's performance in 2026! 😄

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Freedom of speech, just watch what you say. The Constitution is unconstitutional.

Our present peril is not new, it is the product of a decades-long project. Cowards yearning for a past that never existed are trying to destroy everyone and everything they fear or fail to understand, because they are afraid. Robert Redford got it. He was much more than just a good-looking actor.

One of the very few silver linings of being unemployed in the time of End Stage Capitalism - not having to worry about being fired for holding a controversial opinion like every person in the United States is protected by its Constitution.

Is this bad? This feels like it might be bad.

What the hell is going on with the program direction today? 🤣

Booing? Vale’s cult were obnoxious when he was actively competing. Who would have thought they would keep on and carry on their nonsense long after VR46 hung up his helmet. 🙄 Glad MM93 got a spot of revenge today and glad he salvaged the weekend for Ducati. Get the champ shirts ready for Motegi!

This podium trio looks spent! 😮‍💨

Bez has to be rider of the race

Birt trying his best to put the commentator’s curse on MM93 😆

A replay of on track action down the field…in a popout window! Well done race production!

The Gresini always looks great in their vintage colors.

MM93 has had a season for the ages and his comeback from injury will only elevate his legend. Yet, the GP24 is so good that AM73 can compete for poles, podiums, and even wins alongside his older brother on the GP25. What would this season have looked like had Ducati given everyone evolved GP24s? 🤔

My wife and I had twin girls in 2021. If we had been able to find 2 open slots at the daycare we had used for middle son, we would have had to pay around $36000/year for the first two years, then $24,000/year for the next two years to send them full-time.

Nothing that is either good or productive for peace and progress comes out of the business end of a firearm. In a mentally ill country, full of hate and hostility, saturated in high performance firearms, peace and progress seem like foreign concepts.

Really enjoyed this interview with Bill McKibben! Great to hear someone so genuinely optimistic about the possibility of renewable energy to help mitigate some of the effects of climate change.

We are in terrifying times.

Finally got around to finishing season 5 of the Blowback podcast. What a fantastic, top shelf program. I'm someone who grew up on Democracy Now!, Chomsky, Zinn, etc, so I'm 💯in their target audience, but the depth, intelligence, production quality, and style of Blowback is phenomenal - a must listen

So thankful our kids have all been able to progress through the full vaccine regime. This is psychopathic nonsense.

Without saying the name, what is your favorite videogame?

I see some cynical people referring to RFK Jr and the CDC in terms of forthcoming Darwinian learning for MAGA diehards. That's dangerous nonsense. Good people who believe in science, technology and the value of modern medicine WILL be harmed and even killed because of what these cultists are doing.

Growing up in Florida, I have learned to love geography while loathing demography. We have young children in this crumbling school system. The censorship power of fundamentalists and hatemongers is a real threat to the futures of every child subject to their tyranny. These people hate free thought.

That most evil and sinister failing of the human spirit - empathy! Parents, raise your children to be free of the demonic influence of empathy! Teach your children the joyous serenity of disassociation! Hone their lives in the sacred forge of amorality! Thank goodness for Ms. Rachel (and Lindsay)!
