This got me thinking about my years in track and the unique experience of once running at an old unconverted gravel track in high school:
If you ever want to know what active dying feels like, run the 200m dash on a *straightaway* gravel track. Sprinters will get this.

A Phils fan could never. We do that shit to ourselves.
Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?

Surely not the guy profiled in this recent essay who thinks reading books is for losers, doesn’t care about developing expertise in anything, and is deeply insecure about his sexuality and intellect?
To characterize the Iranian people as having “briefly, briefly, briefly saw freedom only to have it snatched away” is both incredibly disingenuous and a disservice to their struggles. What freedom? What structurally changed with Khamenei gone? This also tacitly gives Trump credit where none is due.
The whacky morning DJ says democracy’s a joke
How many Michiganders want this? What constituency of hers does this serve? Arms dealers? Weapons manufacturers? Profiteers, sycophants, imbeciles, and cowards? Other assorted freaks and perverts?
Surely they don’t constitute a majority of Michigan voters. What are we doing here?
What are the odds he gets called up this year? I feel like I’ve been reading about the inevitability of his starting rotation presence for at least the last four seasons.
nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
“Where Is My Tariff Check” is a winning campaign slogan, fwiw
My favorite student essay typo is US government courses has got to be “farmers of the Constitution.”
It’s so easy to overlook and spellcheck won’t catch it. Happens without fail every semester and always makes me chuckle, imagining James Wilson tending his crop of Clauses for the summer harvest.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand
Wake up babe, another young republicans nazi group chat just dropped:
Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.
Just to return to the topic from yesterday, only the US can kill hundreds of thousands of civilians in previous wars and still have its citizens and reporters pretending that it doesn’t do that.

being a spurs fan feels both abusive and sadomasochistic at this point, like hitting myself in the nuts while a mob of all the other world’s ills pummels me senseless
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
Ball 4
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
Neither Marxist nor Leninist, but a secret third thing
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
I’m sorry but if you’re treating the Pahlavi guy as some sort of legitimate “replacement” for the Islamic Republic, you are a rube, a mark, ignorant beyond embarrassment, delusional in the concerning kind of way, and a deeply unserious person.

I was the first American to play youth ice hockey for the Red Army Club in St. Petersburg, Russia.
My hot take is that more Americans need to actually experience American foreign policy to fully recognize how vile it often is. The casual, indiscriminate violence is a feature, not a bug.
Afghanistan started at 92 percent approval. Iraq started at 71. Iran started at 27. The "whose side are you on" rhetoric is identical. The country underneath it isn't. I wrote about how the framework works, and who's deploying it. www.readtpa.com/p/with-us-or...
