@Pimp_Lord619 Grand Ole BBQ brisket fries, never a brutal line, always delicious, extra crispy so they hold up

none of it is that good. Everything half decent is going to have a long ass line and the act if eating food in a stadium seat is miserable. Giant mess waiting to happen. Would much rather eat somewhere downtown beforehand and settle for a snack/cocktail during the game

@traaang Home plate umps need to be retired from balls and strikes

ABS is important for the game.

@ScottKacsmar THE MOVIE HEAT IS IN LARGE PART WHY YOU WOULD ASSOCIATE THOSE TWO GUYS!!!!

I was 9 years old when Heat came out and all I saw was "wow, this cast is loaded and they're robbing banks, I wanna see this". And that's good enough. This is a weird take to think it matters if DiCaprio makes you think of Bale.

@PokerUmp @traaang Why not just have the call always be correct then

@traaang Yeah so, replay review has been around for quite some time. Not quite as exhilarating as you think. No umpire in the world claims to be perfect.

MLB Umpires Association seeing the overturn rate

“Why is Cade over him in MVP talks”

Ant will be my favorite player in the league when Curry retires. There is zero argument he’s the best player in the world. He’s not Jokic, he’s not SGA. He’s at best #3 because of Giannis missing time and Luka not playing D. Maybe someone wants him to switch agents.

@pablofindsout It seems important to note that J Crew is currently featuring a male model who appears to be a genetic recombination of Pablo and Clavicular @PabloTorre

@queen_ofthehi11 @aidan_smx a tremendous post

@aidan_smx He's also super tall I can't stop thinking about that one tweet about Osama bin Laden but changed to "Ahmed should have hooped instead of building a clock cause he tall as hell". Smh

Crazy thinking that the president at the time (for all his faults) tweeted this If this happened today @ groypercapital would call him a terrorist and doxx him and his family, Musk would RT it, and Vance would double down on it in a Fox interview

@Noahpinion Embarrassing

@RomeovilleKid All this said, the show resets itself every season into a new frame by which the character are competing. What doesn't change is the mercenary nature of capital and the need to generate returns (whatever the cost). The way the characters evolve over time is very compelling!

@RomeovilleKid Most people in these high-pay, high-prestige, high-stress jobs wash out relatively quickly with only a few hanging around long-term (which is a dynamic the show demonstrates pretty clearly). I don't think the characters suck, they're just unlikeable (yet profoundly interesting)

Question: What is the point of Industry on HBO? I saw a few people raving about this show, so I fired it up. I’m on episode 7 of season 1, and I just don’t understand what I’m supposed to gain from this (if I’m supposed to gain anything at all). This show is a hot mess.

@RomeovilleKid Seems to me it's clearly not a good fit for you, because I think the show is uniformly excellent. With that said, it's a category error to assume that a show about awful people is an awful show. The show fairly accurately depicts how many in finance operate, in an ugly industry

“Hey, how about we all do hard drugs and make really terrible decisions over and over again?” Also, everyone in the show is an awful person. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. But hey, everything ain’t for everybody, so maybe this show just ain’t for me.

Seriously someone explain what the strategy is lmao. What in the world is she talking about this is like CJ stroud throwing 4 interceptions in the first half and going to the defense and saying ‘it’s time to be strategic’ when they say ‘stop throwing picks’

We have to bring back dress codes in America. Like I’m sorry but you’re in congress, you have to do better. Also lmao what was the strategy again?!

@traaang judposting through it like a real one

Take his credentials away man.

I’m gonna yell at Acee

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets. They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

@ArifHasanNFL You would fraud

It's actually very easy I just did it

@RomeovilleKid You've improved a ton James, I used to be a pretty harsh critic of you and your work, but you had a great season covering the team this year and I look forward to your offseason coverage.

I’ve also tried to mature in the “performative” versus “productive” line of questioning. Last year, I asked Chris Ballard if he “earned another opportunity or if it was given to him?” But how the heck is he supposed to answer that? It was a “tough” but useless question.

@AlexKrusz @deepfates Didn't know this was happening, now it's on my list, hell yeah

@deepfates San Diego office hours mentioned

When I moved to San Francisco a couple years ago the city was still pretty dead from the pandemic. I knew a lot of people were here cuz I saw them online, but there was no obvious place to meet up in person. So gf and i started going to the same beer hall every week and calling it "Office Hours". I would post about it on Twitter and we texted our friends the first few times, but after a couple weeks the ball kept rolling by itself. Other people started doing it in New York, Philly, then more and more places. It became a tpot institution. anybody can make an office hours happen just by posting about it and showing up. worst case scenario is you drink a couple beers by yourself and read Twitter.. you were going to do that anyway. We figured out some guidelines, The DNA of the event. Regular time and place, announce it online, bring a rubber duck or some other totem so people can recognize you. Some people made a website and the communities post their locations and times to it. It's all decentralized and organic. in San Francisco whoever has the duck has to post about it and it changes hands every week. And you show up even if nobody posted about it cuz you know the place and time. Ignore all rumors of cancellation or organization! This is a super lightweight tradition. It only takes a little bit of patience, and the effects are huge. multiple couples have met at office hours. businesses have been started. conversations at office hours are 6 months ahead of front page of New York Times. you can just do things + focus on what you want to see + meet your mutuals Office Hours. (how it started / how it's going)

@cind1 @Sandiegohumor The Will Cain show is absolutely a slickly produced hour of ragebait for boomers

@clawforce @Sandiegohumor Facts aren’t ragebait. She researched reports from government inspections and is sharing the information.

What if we have billions going to fraud but you have to pay $5 an hour to park at Balboa Park because the city needs more money… that would be crazy
