Reminder: In the multiple contests where a team representing the USA faced a team representing another country, the other country's team won each of them 4 games to 2.

Today in "Don't get your medical advice from slick radio ads, let alone sex advice" 

NuMale ran radio ads in seemingly every commercial break on every station for years. Think Viagra but clinics instead of pills.

I continue to be flabbergasted by just how boring billionaires are with their money.

Like... where's the paying your favorite band to record a new album entirely without commercial pressure? Commissioning some artist to make a massive mural of a bee/cheeseburger creature?

Where's the contract to fill an entire swimming pool with cream and let everyone in the city jump in?

Where's the "giving 100 homeless people houses just to see them smile friday"?

You have enough money to explode god, but you'll buy things that make more money, yachts you barely use and houses that are much too big for anyone to sensibly live in.

How fucking empty a person do you have to be for that?

ICE, Shooting, Los Angeles 

Are you kidding me?

CNN: "..Investigators believe gunfire erupted after an ICE officer confronted the suspect’s vehicle and smashed a window with their service weapon, the source said. While attempting to grab the suspect, authorities believe the agent’s weapon discharged, striking both the suspect and a deputy US marshal. ..."

In all of history, the only times a team representing the USA has won the are when the opposing team also represented the USA.

Yet another AWS outage earlier. Maybe it was a mistake to put half of the World Wide Web and most of the modern Internet on exactly three of someone else's computers.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as the internet, is in fact, us-east-1/the internet, or as I've recently taken to calling it, us-east-1 plus the internet

A hearty “told you so” to everyone who can’t unlock their front door due to the AWS outage

According to Sportsnet, no post-season game has ever seen a team ground into a double play with the bases loaded in back to back innings. Tonight, the Mariners grounded into back-to-back bases-loaded, inning-ending double plays (3rd & 4th).

Sportsnet, "Blue Jays escape bases-loaded jam in back-to-back innings": sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-

They also hit into back-to-back-to-back inning-ending double plays (3rd, 4th, & 5th), which was fun to watch, but IDK if that's a record or not.

Them: The Fediverse is just a big echo chamber!

Me: Exactly! "NO NAZIS!" reverberates.
