“Loch Lomond” in Foxborough. Quite a sight. #WorldCup

I have said this before but the ability to eat chicken literally every day would be more impressive to most of your ancestors than your car or your watch or your glasses etc.

Jean-Paul LaPierre, a 54-year-old boxer and marathon runner from Weymouth, Massachusetts (Boston area), was riding a CTA Blue Line train in Chicago heading to the marathon.

He stepped off, learned a man was robbing passengers at gunpoint, went back aboard, confronted the robber, grappled with him, disarmed the gun, and held him against the train wall until police arrived.

In the video, LaPierre says, “That kinda made me mad” and “I’m a boxer. I’ll break your head in one punch.” He later added, “It matters to me.”

The robber, Tremaine Anderson (30, with prior record), was arrested and charged with armed robbery.

LaPierre then ran the Chicago Marathon (his 12th) and later received a Carnegie Hero Medal for his bravery.

Still thinking about how Dick Trickle kept a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in the car and would smoke mid-race.

Wine is just wine to most Americans, and Grana Padano is as good as parmesan is as good as pecorino. But just see what happens when you say that Coke Zero is the same as Diet Coke. Like Robert Conquest said, everyone is an Italian about what they know best.

To whom it may concern: 65 North Pickers is one of the best young bluegrass bands in the game and if you haven’t given them a listen, I’d remedy that. There’s still time to be one of the cool kids and beat the crowd. Here’s “Minefield”.🔥

You may think Brian Eno makes pretentious music but then you remember his full name is Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno and for having a name like that he is surprisingly down to earth

Eating onion rings and drinking beer while listening to live music seems like a pretty modern thing, but it's actually something humans have done since Mesopotamia

[Elai @elaifresh]

Humans are really bad at grokking log scales, i.e., “there’s levels to this shit”

Among my friends I’m the insanely fit cyclist guy; on my weekly group ride I’m one of the slowest. The fastest guy there couldn’t sniff a pro contract

This applies to literally everything

Both things can be true at the same time:

1) Zoomers don't cook as much as the boomers, which is a massive money sink. When called out on it they'll cover their ears and start ululating

2) Boomers are not just completely ignorant to the reality of zoomers having massively reduced purchasing power in real terms, they're even smug and condescending about it.

They are so easily oneshotted by nominal dollar amounts. They'll go "Omg your salary is $5000? In my day it was $1800!") and when you point out that they bought their house for $150k and it costs $700k now they'll cover their ears and start ululating

My mate Bouncer died yesterday. He’d lived with us for 13 years as a furry, purring, permanently migrating ornament.

I didn’t know I could feel such grief for a witless bag of bones who destroyed my favourite sofa and crapped in the shower tray.

Below is a picture taken on the day he selected me at the animal shelter.

@JohannesAchill von Neumann being left out of the movie was an intentional choice done for political reasons

My college experience at an elite school literally involved a professor calling me "Farm Boy" because he labored under the delusion that there are lots of farms in West Virginia.
