We were absolutely floored by the millions of you that watched us make silly water sillouettes on our driveway last summer. We are starting out the summer the only way we know how, and this time it’s all about movies! What else do you want to see? We have a whole summer ahead, a driveway and a hose. The possibilities are endless!!!

Rodney is a great, great American who has created one of the best, simplest, most beautiful multiplying acts of charity in the country. Been following him for years. Let’s get some Raising Men & Women Lawn Care kids on the WH lawn!

Pope Leo XIV releases his prayer intention for the month of June, and invites Catholics to pray 'for the values of sports,' that all sport may promote peace, fraternity and communion.

Baseball tells you how easy it is to watch the games now... But here we have the next 4 Cardinals games are on 4 TV different platforms.

This shit is dumb.

You don’t really understand the 70s unless you’ve watched Columbo on a $1650 tube television that was perched upon shag carpet so thick that Jack Nicklaus would have to punch out of your living room and just hope to save par.

All official MLB baseballs are hand-stitched at the Rawlings factory in Costa Rica.
No one has yet created a machine that can do it with the necessary precision.
Each one has exactly 108 double stitches (216 in total).

Worthy of every view it gets.

Worth a read about restaurant menu pricing. Very informative

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

The most expensive item on a restaurant menu isn't meant to be sold.

It exists to make the second-most-expensive item look reasonable.

Behavioral economists call this the decoy effect. Dan Ariely proved it at MIT in 2008.

Every menu you've eaten from this year uses it. Plus 10 more tricks.

I pulled the playbook. Here's how each one hijacks your brain. 🧵

🚨 HEARTBREAKING

The Wooster High School sophomore baseball player went helping his team win 10-0… to fighting for his life at Akron Children’s Hospital just hours later, and passed away this morning.

Gone too soon. 🙏

Prayers for Maddox and his family.

[DrOzCMS @DrOzCMS]

CMS announced a new voluntary pledge for hospitals to serve healthier, less processed meals that support faster recovery and long-term health. We’re calling on hospitals nationwide to step up and join the movement – because good nutrition means good care.

Hospitals will be able to sign the pledge virtually starting next week. Learn more: https://t.co/6b7d6G13oF

Tonight is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride.

If he were to make the same journey from Boston to Lexington today, he could stop at 7 Dunkin locations. (via Reddit)

Last night District 3 got a call for a loose horse from the storm in the area of N. 33rd and Brown. Ofc. Sharp from the MPD Mounted Patrol Unit went and grabbed a truck and trailer and went to catch the horse. He was successful! #NiceWork 🐴🚔

It occurs to me that a thread bringing together all of my writing on Corona hysteria might be useful:

1. Already in April of 2020 I applied the basics of Catholic Social Teaching to argue that the indefinite lockdowns we were subjected to were immoral:
