@sarge____ 9 year old baseball and I had 3 dads who were convinced their sons were gonna be patrolling centerfield in Yankee Stadium. To say they were delusional would be the ultimate understatement. The best kid of the three was also the biggest, with the pushiest dad… who was about 5’6”

Love this post. San Francisco has been an innovative financial powerhouse since its very beginnings. Go John Mackay!

[Charlie Wiser @wisercharlie]

San Francisco has always been a place where people from around the world and from all walks of life go seeking to strike it rich

Gold, silver, semiconductors, biotech, software/AI

Many cities boom and fade; but in SF, the entrepreneurial spirit endures. It’s a powerful network effect

Wild speculation is in the city’s DNA. SF has always been a startup city.

And socially, it’s long been a magnet for fresh starts: from Chinese, Irish, and Italian immigrants to the Beats, hippies, and the gay community.

As @GregoryCrouch puts it: “A man’s past meant nothing in San Francisco. The city simply had no past. A man’s worth depended on who he was today, and what he might do tomorrow.”

@TrentTelenko I’ve never understood why we bothered to clear the entirety of Okinawa. Why didn’t we just build our own line across the island and bottle the Japanese up for the duration? Seems
like they put that option on the table for us based on their own operational choices.

The reason that no one in that Signal group chat said “hey we probably shouldn’t use this” is because they are using it for everything. They don’t want us to see what they are doing or be able to FOIA records. Signal is how they are operating. It’s against the law but they don’t give a shit.

@TrentTelenko I’m sorry your suffering. Both my parents had it in the pre-vax years. Mom’s was average, like yours, which is plenty bad, but my dad had it on his optic nerve. Undying agony and welders glasses for months.

No FAFO for this kid. I begged. Couldn’t get my vax soon enough.

@JonnyQ88 Maybe that was the price of getting him to stay out this season. It’s a negotiation, after all.

@RSherman_25 Strikes me that those four Eagles frontmen are the MVPs so far. With them getting pressure and the rest of the defense in coverage, Mahomes can’t get a good look.

The U.S. Navy has confirmed that a wreck discovered last year by the Royal Australian Navy is that of USS Edsall (DD 219). Lost in the Indian Ocean in 1942, the exact fate of the Edsall was unknown until a decade later when captured Japanese film revealed that the destroyer had been sunk after coming under attack by two cruisers, two battleships, and 26 dive bombers from three carriers. A post-war investigation determined that at least six of Edsall's crewmen were captured and executed.
