@dodgers_burner They literally enforced the coaches boxes rule this year to stop sign stealing from 1st and 3rd coaches.

The Giants won 107 games in ‘21 when PECOTA predicted that they’d only win 75.
Dodgers coaching staff noticed in ‘22 that the Giants’ 1B & 3B coaches were relaying stolen info to batters.
The Braves finished 4th in the NL East in ‘25.
Guess who’s ATL’s new 1B coach this year…

The Braves are off to their best start since 1892, when they were the Boston Beaneaters

@TheStalwart @alexolegimas In some instances you would also build these structures to appease the Gods in hopes of bringing about favorable weather and crops and thus it was seen as a step in gaining further calories to be consumed.

Good piece. And this idea from @alexolegimas is helpful framing for everyone. Tangentially… what is the accepted answer, among *economists*, for why many of the same calorie-constrained ancient societies spent so much energy on pyramids, obelisks, churches, domes and so forth.

@nahuelhilal @Tesla How strict is the system that is monitoring you for paying attention? Did you get any warnings? What happens if you are considered not actively paying attention too many times?
English
Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option.
I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800.
Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet.
On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes.
I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable.
My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened:
My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport.
And this was the base model Y.
Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.

I 100% agree with this take, and also I don't think it's a coincidence that two of the most famous theorists on orality and literacy (Marshall McLuhan and Walter Ong) were devout Catholics

Give my car to Johnny Dogs, my wine to the Garrison Pub, my horses to someone who’s no work for them, my bullets to someone who’s no names to write on them, and my guns to someone who has no use for them. Once, I nearly got fucking everything. But nearly doesn’t count.

The future of Europe does not depend on Greenland being in the hands of Denmark. It's in America's best interests for us to have greater authority over the territory.
In any case, Europe's leaders worship "Anglo-American supremacy" so long as it's enforced by a Democratic president. See how Eurocrats reacted to Nordstream being blown up. Trump asking for Greenland is more reasonable and more in-line with American national interests than Biden's European policy.

Scott is one of the most consistently pro-White writers around and even he cannot admit thar this is a bad move. This simply reinforces my long-held point that pro-White politics along the lines of WNism are nothing more than a facade for Anglo-American supremacy over Europe.
