  1. I'll take your word for it and re-route the locust.
  2. The player who hit Linden was as tall as him. Linden is 6'4", Graves is 6'0", Matteau is 6'4". Looks like Matteau is the guilty party. May swarms of locust shadow him for the rest of his days.
  3. Federal Reserve interest rate decision: 25 bps rate hike to 5.25-5.50% Highlights from the Federal Reserve rate decision 25 bps rate hike economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace (vs modest pace prior) Repeats forward guidance that refers to "the extent of additional policy firming that may be appropriate" No other changes to the statement This statement is virtually identical to the prior one, save for the shift to a 'moderate' pace of growth from 'modest'. I thought the Fed may change the line that "inflation remains elevated" to indicate some progress but it's the same. The implicit signal here is that the plan is to continue hiking at every-other meeting and the market is pricing in a 16% chance of a hike in September and 40% chance in November.
  4. Destroyed her career in the early 90's by calling out the Catholic church for their abuses but she was 100% right.
  5. Report: USC's Bronny James stable, out of ICU after cardiac arrest during workout Bronny James is reportedly in stable condition after having a heart attack. (Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images) Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, was rushed to the hospital after having a medical emergency during a basketball workout at USC's Galen Center on Monday. The 18-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest, according to a report from TMZ. The incident occurred Monday morning, with a 911 call reportedly being made around 9:30 a.m. PT. Bronny James was reportedly unconscious upon ambulance arrival, per TMZ, but is now in stable condition and no longer in the ICU, according to a statement issued to The Athletic's Shams Charania. "We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information," the statement said. "LeBron and Savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes." Bronny James was a top recruit out of Sierra Canyon high school, averaging 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists last season. He committed to USC over Ohio State and Oregon in May, becoming the first "first one out of the James Gang to go to college," his father said.
  6. Disagree, while the personal data is definitely worth quite a bit IMO it would pale in comparison to the value of the brand.
  7. Well he can't buy Threads as his mortal enemy Zuckerberg owns it. If he just goes around buying every platform sooner or later that becomes an Anti Trust violation.
  8. That only works if he decides to limit what viewers can see. If that happens everyone could simply migrate over to Threads or Mastadon or whatever else comes along.
  9. Arguably the most valuable parts of Twitter were the brand name and the logo. I'd say Twitter is one of the world's 100 most recognizable brands. He's gone and flushed all that value. If he has a plan I simply cannot fathom what it might be.
  10. Elon Musk is rebranding Twitter to ‘X’ and killing the bird logo It's the end of an era for the bird app. Elon Musk’s rebrand of Twitter seems to be underway. In a series of late-night tweets Saturday, Musk shared that the company’s famous bird logo and name would soon be no more. The company, it seems, will simply be known as “X.” “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” he tweeted. He later said in a Twitter space that the Twitter logo would be changed Sunday. “It should have been done a long time ago, sorry it took so long,” he said. Later that night, he reportedly emailed employees about the change. According to Platformer’s Zoe Schiffer, Musk emailed staff saying the company would become X and that his note “was the last email he’ll ever send from a Twitter email address.” Twitter didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. It’s long been known that Musk favors the “X” branding. The banking startup he co-founded in 1999 was called x.com, and his recently-announced Ai venture is called xAI. And Twitter’s holding company was rammed to X Corp in April. Musk has also talked about how X would help Twitter become an “everything app.” Though Musk has offered few specifics on this vision, many believe he’s referencing apps like WeChat, the most popular app in China that people use for a host of everyday activities, like payments and shopping, in addition to social networking. Still, officially abandoning the Twitter brand could be a risky move for Musk. The company is already facing an advertiser exodus that’s resulted in a loss of more than half the company’s ad revenue. A rebrand could further alienate advertisers. At the same time, Musk may be betting that a new name and identity could help the company shed its ties to its former leadership and the decisions made under them, both of which he has been deeply critical of. ***************** Dumping an iconic logo for an 'X'. I'm sure the remaining advertisers are thrilled. Bold/foolish move.
  11. The lineup that AA has assembled in Atlanta is scary. They're never really out of a game even if down 5-6 runs early on. They have so much power it's ridiculous. What could have been in TO.
  12. Not sure it matters this year. IMO Baltimore is the team to beat in the AL and the Jays are 1-5 against the O's. Plus the O's have a very deep prospect pool and can use that to beef up at the deadline. Baltimore in the AL and Atlanta in the NL. The Jays are way behind both of them.
  13. This team really misses Teo. He provided a spark and provided protection in the lineup that they really miss. If they are looking for a bat how about Cody Bellinger? He seems to have figured it out after his last three miserable years in LA. Cubs have to be in sell mode.
  14. The Mets might be open to unloading a few guys. If so Kodai Senga would look great in a Jays uniform.
  15. 12 different teams scored at least 10 runs tonight. Of course the game I had an over/under bet on of OVER 8 finished with 7 runs total.
  16. Agreed on the automated balls and strikes. This guy is doing a very good impersonation of Angel Hernandez.
  17. I think Pete's plan was to get tossed. That's why he didn't flip out when he got tossed. IMO he went out there to take the focus off his guy and put it on the ump. That's just doing what you can to take care of your guy.
  18. This is the display still of the video. I remember this play so vividly. It was Sergio Momesso taking a full 2 handed golf swing at Joey Kocur's ankles. Kocur saw it coming and was able to jump and avoid the chop. If Momesso had connected he would have been suspended for a tonne of games. As it was I couldn't believe he got away without even an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty.
