What an incredible moment for Jahmai Jones, who set a goal over a year ago to play for Korea In WBC as a tribute to his mom. She made the trip along with his sisters to Tokyo to watch this in person.

"Our vehicles generally perform well driving from place to place, but they're not perfect and sometimes just explode and cause untold damage. You can't possibly blame us for that."

Well, this is exciting news! I do wonder what this means for his CFB and CBB jobs, but one thing at a time.

The Dominican Republic will not have to worry about facing Kevin McGonigle in the World Baseball Classic. Not yet, anyway.

Team Canada playing a practice game against the Blue Jays just seems wrong.

Never thought I’d be nostalgic for the pseudo congressional debate in advance of the Iraq war in 2003, yet here we are.

You're absolutely right. The Republic of Iraq didn't have a weapons of mass destruction program, which was easily verifiable. That was my bad with the unilateral invasion and assassination of Saddam Hussein's sons - It's good you're such an intuitive thinker who can avoid future missteps like that.

I know this is just for normie gamers, but can you imagine if all of these AI datacenters got pushed an NVIDIA update that disabled the fans? I'm sure it's impossible but it'd be a pretty good way to sell a lot more cards.

Whatever the increased fine is, triple it. And actually enforce it.

Pistons vs OKC reminding me why I skip the NBA regular season. Half of OKC just sitting out the game. Could have been a fun best record in East vs best record in West game, but nah. What a waste of time.

The way this Pistons team plays is perfect for the team heritage. And must be so annoying.

First day of my first job in NYC ( @reuters.com ) was the day Hurricane Sandy hit. So I skipped my first day and walked the 2nd day and showered at a hotel in Times Square because I had no power and the company got a room for anyone coming to the office. My power came back several days later.
