Friends, some critics say that the phrase “the pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence indicates that America was founded on individual desire, not the common good. But Jefferson was classically educated, and he would have known that happiness, in the true sense, is bound up with virtue. That’s the opening argument of Aristotle’s “Nicomachean Ethics”: All of us desire happiness, and happiness is the activity of the soul in accord with virtue.
Therefore, to speak of “the pursuit of happiness” isn’t to give in to Hobbesian subjectivism; it’s to open the soul to the virtuous pursuit of beatitude. And it’s a phrase worth reclaiming!
As a grown man, the only exciting part about catching a home run/foul ball is the catch. Keeping it as memorabilia or selling for a little cash is lame.
Give the ball to the kid.
"I'm sorry, I can't. I'm not giving it to the kid."

A Los Angeles Dodgers fan refuses to hand over a foul ball to a young Atlanta Braves supporter after someone in the crowd urges him to give it away.

The moment was caught on camera at Truist Park during a Dodgers-Braves game.
Dylan Larkin taking part in power play, too, so all signs indicate he'll play tonight for Red Wings, first game since requesting a trade. Will get confirmation after morning skate. Loudly booed when introduced opening night at LCA.
Red Wings game day.
It’s my opinion that Red Wings fans should be excited to root for these players, who need support now more than ever.
Root for the players, and the crest. Not for upper management who are incapable of doing the right thing.
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but that’s my approach to this season.
Let’s get off to a good start against a NYR team on a back to back.

Just took a United flight home from Texas, Delta the way there… Starlink provided much better / faster internet. Might have to switch to United @Delta@united@elonmusk
I’ve always thought that’s an interesting idea.
When I was younger I cared about who sang the songs, but now I just want a two hour car ride of a perfectly DJ’d mix for me.
I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
AI music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all AI music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.
Lions: window closing, GM is incompetent
Tigers: projected World Series contenders, GM didn’t add offense or true bullpen help - now will miss the playoffs and traded Skubal
Pistons: 60 wins and #1 seed and GM did nothing at the deadline and didn’t make a big move this offseason we were told. Expect major regression
Red Wings: GM fired, Captain asking for trade
WHO HAS IT BETTER THAN DETROIT SPORTS RIGHT NOW?!
All four major sport teams were on brink of greatness and all four regressed due to lack of GM aggressiveness and having some balls
