30年前くらいに村上春樹のエッセイで、アメリカではコーラにピーナッツを入れて飲むのがポピュラーだと書いてあった。「ふぅん」と思ってから長い時間が経ったが、ついにやってみた。 何だこれバカ美味いんでやんの。 これ以外でもうコーラ飲みたくなくなるレベル。

People who actually experienced the 1990s: What is something you miss from that decade that just isn't the same today

Under no circumstances should behavior like this go unpenalized, regardless of the sport or game situation. Not unexpected by this coach. Deeply disappointed the official didn't do his job.

I feel like we are days away from home plate umpires simply refusing to acknowledge ABS challenges. They’ve never been held to account in front of a small group of calm reporters, let alone 40,000 rabid fans. There’s no way they can handle this.

This might be the first time in the history of pro sports that players have the opportunity to humiliate the umpires/referees with home fans getting to cheer it on — baseball’s doing everything right these days.

People 500 years from now: "Hey guys, our super-advanced sensors found a cache of high-grade isotopes we can use for spaceship fuel! Let's send the robots to dig it up and refine it!"

i want the fuckin harper goonsquad version of the dinergoth article. something real that actually deeply explores the space and the culture and the people instead of just whining about one hello kitty girl

Hasan got a shout out on a celebrity blind item page post Vanity Fair Oscar Party “Speaking of people who aren’t exactly liked..guests were confused about how the dog abuser or possible dog k*ller/podcaster ended up getting an invite to the magazine party”

The nonstop “that’s bad for you” crowd has quietly emerged as one of the most annoying groups in the world and I’m tired of pretending they’re not.

Has there ever been a cultural, societal, or technological trend that took off in the SF Bay Area and then failed to spread to the mainstream culture? I can only think of trends that did: Personal computers, hippie culture, psychedelics, farm-to-table & organic food, gig economy, LGBTQ, yoga & meditation, biohacking, minimalist design, remote work, third wave coffee, new age spirituality, environmentalism… Is it safe to say the region is a reliable bellwether for what life will look like everywhere in the future?
