And to be fair
To my UNC fan friends: I'm so sorry for your brutal loss to a lesser team. To the UNC Athletics department: [HillaryClintonNod.gif] [KamalaHarrisNod.gif] Who could have seen this coming? Especially since Belichick was cooked a good decade ago even with titles.
This is Don Jr's kid.
Hot Take: Howard Baldwin was dumb for not merging the Whalers with the Houston Aeros to save the Aeros especially after the Civic Center roof collapse. Hartford really didn't add anything. I loved the Whalers but they were redundant.
The last decade of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, I found it to be cringe and a relic and often downloaded everything not Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy they worked for. Now, it feels like getting rid of it broke Labor Day and the world. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
I waited a half hour in the line for the BBQ grand. My wife and I are still hungry but holding on for Cook Out after (given the pace this game is going) might be worth it.
I think Columbus was at critical mass for a Big 4 team and when the city came up vis a vis Cincinnati held it back.
Karmanos had sour grapes becaude he was runner up to Illich for the Red Wings when Norris sold and wanted in at any cost. He wanted in but didn't dwell on it like the buyers of any Atlanta team. The Rickenbacker Field hangar idea would've made Mullett Arena seem logical.
This is what gets me. Most of the time Authoritarianism tosses the people a bone. Here we get the worst of both worlds.
Let's go back further to when the Whalers announced their move. Where to, they didn't know. youtu.be/dfZGEUFaH00?...
youtu.be/vCEcZIttPMc?... Dennis House's default picture on socials is himself on ice in full Whalers gear for crying out loud! He's also a major fan of the 90s-era Buick Roadmaster and would probably look at @caniacannie.bsky.social's wagon in envy.
Today's view, a final view, for the last home game in Carolina Mudcats before the move down 264/587 to become the Wilson Warbirds. The place is a concessions line with a baseball problem & the team store is devoid of Mudcats stuff but a last game isn't an everyday experience. #MiLB #BaseballSky
I'm here as this happens. Today is a concessions line with a baseball problem and the team store is already out of Mudcats swag. Just watch. A Frontier League team will manifest itself out of nowhere and carry on the name. Egg, meet face.
The concession stands have been chaos and as much as Five County has not aged well just watch them milk Mudcats nostalgia by 2030 at the latest.
Do it. There's an irony in this that I see given one of the biggest "Bring Back the Whale" voices in Connecticut is a Norwood native.
Miles and Acela are both 2000 products so he never got to experience that switch on anything not the Vermonter.
I don't know what is worse: * Naming your kid Bellatrix. * The above and being born in a year starting with 2 * Recalling a prior trip in a grext with your child and their spouse about their child's ex from 20ish years ago's dad killing himself over losing their job. It's been a weekend...
Now that there is a fair chance the Brices Turrang and Beckham crossed paths at the Bob Uecker memorial, two more requests. 1: Jonah Tong and Kaity Tong (especially with the WPIX "Met-inees") 2: Jakob Marsee and a Carsey to the Red Sox while Tom Werner is still an FSG Partner. IYKYK.

"He doesn't have narration or expertise. And he's not like Caleb or Thom who can do this with ease..." The "Appearently a Trip Report" song from @milesintransit.com could use a remix after yesterday's events. 😂
I wonder why nice, enlightened MA is in the doghouse.
One year ago, Sean Higgins got drink, drove, and murdered Johnny & Matthew Gaudreau with his car. In any nation but the US, Higgins would have already faced trial and be in prison. Instead, justice has not been served. For shame. I think Sean Higgins should be dead. Do you?
So today was A Day for high speed rail somewhere. Have your fun with your Acela NextGen. I'll go back to when the mid-morning parade east went through Brussels Central while waiting for the SNCB back to Zaventem. #Trains #HighSpeedRail #Belgium #TheOnlyICEinBelgium
We need a left wing Fox News parallel and we needed it in 1997.
Republicans bend over backwards to their base and see the opposition as an obstacle to be ignored if not eliminated. Republicans try. Democrats bend over backwards to the opposition and see their base as an obstacle to be ignored if not eliminated. Democrats don't try. Why are things this way?
The only linear TV I really watch anymore would be sports or game shows. It's social media that's at fault here.
Define religious minorities here.
The problem is it's everywhere. It's unavoidable.
Case in point: My step-in-laws recently have had cancer battles and SM (ex-Dem MAGA NPC) reached out to SF (Townie Dem voter) with advice and such. This when she went contact light with me/wife over COVID protocols and religion. Is this common?
I don't get how some, many, most of you can get constant news about That Man and not feel 24/7 rage and resentment. Maybe it's because I always loathed him, but it becomes hard to look at this regime and reconcile the people I know who voted for it with it. Does politics override decency?
The United States had the candidate which you describe who ran on being kind to one another, whose initial campaign preached joy run in 2024. And she lost to a candidate whose message was "Fuck You, Misery for All, P.S. I Lied." What does that say about Americans?
I swore off NYT Games cold turkey on 11/6/24, a week after my subscription lapsed, and have zero regrets.

I don't know how to approach this guy. Gay is good. Republican is bad. I want to hurt anyone who calls him a certain slur, but if he got hurt I don't want to help because of his shit political views. You can't be both. Go Blue or get a Beard. Fight me.
Those who are Orioles or Nationals fans or are stuck watching MASN: Do you get the endless ads for Hagerstown trying to sell itself as it had a glam up with some breweries and a Partner League team? Did Hagerstown really glam up and try to out-Frederick Frederick? #Maryland #Nats
Four wives. Joan Hackett was #2. Rachel Ryan, the aforementioned AVN nominee, was 4th and final and flopped as any marriage with a 30 year age gap and personality gap would do.
There are random facts I wish I didn't know. Here's one in rhyme: The last wife of TV's Richard Mulligan. Was nominated for an AVN.
Rhode Island is cooked. Can we run Bruce Sundlun's corpse? /s
Dan McKee seems to not want to be governor if he's doing things that that have no tangible gain for the state.
I wonder if this was avoidable or if Rhode Island, a Democratic trifecta state, is just broken and dense.
I believe in no kings, but with every "Kamala told you so post" I feel like saying "You didn't say No Royalty, Kamala is my queen and I would do anything for her" even if she was dragged kicking and screaming to be VP. Am I alone here?
Biden screwed Kamala over so hard by not resigning.
Trash cans. They're in the air. Ba-da-ba-dah. Reference is to the video below. Send all blame to @troytakesphotos.bsky.social or @theycallhimbfg.bsky.social. 🤣 youtu.be/K1ajyNuYuIc?...
"The most humiliating Mets seasons came with former Yankees as managers: Casey Stengel, Willie Randolph, Buck Showalter, Carlos Mendoza." 1: Did we memory hole 1973 Yogi Berra? 2: What about Yankees legends Jeff Torborg, Art Howe, Jerry Manuel, and 2002 Bobby Valentine? /s
Why are Republicans so obsessed with trans people?
"I said I have an heir, not a dishwasher." - Brandon "Bug" Hall, after being called out by Xitter user KylieD87 for his first son born after four daughters, 2024. The irony that his two older TV siblings on this show has previously survived Kirk Cameron (on different shows!).
What would the 2025 equal of Fidel Castro calling out New Coke for being lame? Kim Jong Un? I can so see New Coke '25 being a Putin/Xi psyop.
My wife is oscillating between wanting to move to Wendell Falls, to move to Kannapolis, or stay put in North Raleigh. Why should I move to Wendell?
Also, Threads exists.
I would say that a fair number of Democratic constituents and a majority of Democratic politicians would switch sides if there was no culture war. Notice how there seems to be a total amnesia held by Republican politicians born before the Eisenhower administration about Republicans.
At this point, Communism would ne an improvement. Something that will be harsh to the moneyed.
Kamala would've reduced harm.
Harm reduction is logical.
Duncan Trussell made Rogan tolerable.
The Democrats need to campaign on one key truth: That Republicans are the cause of all of North Carolina's problems. Make it a constant drumbeat that can't be escaped. Sadly, there are enough old Democrats who won't buy into this winning message.
I don't want it to happen but I fear that the US will led into a prisoners dilemma for that as it was for Gaza. I don't like Republicans and I want them to suffer.
Missus we can use a man like Bruce Sundlun again. Sure, he was a millionaire, but at least he cared about normal Rhode Islanders and actually did work well into old age.
Appropriate music for this ride. youtu.be/GF6GBo8pMk8?...
At this point, bringing back Raimundo or Chaffee would be an improvement. Hell, bring back Lincoln Almond even though he's old and nominally Republican. At this point, exhuming Bruce Sundlun's corpse would be better. An old millionaire rooted in public service, was ahead of his time. /s
Dan McKee seems to be a unmitigated disaster as governor, probably the biggest this side of Ed DiPrete.
So if the options are Newsom or Vance and trans extermination, what would you do?
I want to understand Republicans and how they work because they've seemingly totally changed from when *I* was in protest of one because of how broken and kayfabe the NYS Dems were 20 years ago. Even then, I never would've stood with a jerkass like this person whose response to rape would be suicide
After this I may have called RWNJ a pervert, accused him of molesting kids, and as he lives in NoVA hope that someone pushes him in front of the DC Metro. I struggle to think about how Dad, FIL, SMIL, both BIL's, multiple aunts/uncles/cousins, and more side with this filth. This tests my empathy.
Me: "You are devoid of a soul and empathy and I hope your kidney ends up in a trans person...America is worse thanks to bozos like you." RWNJ: "You keep your perv ass out of my daughter's bathroom. Got it?"..."You're calling me soulless when you're the pervert trying to get into the girl's room?"
Me: "Republicans are the cause of America's problems and have zero empathy." RWNJ: "Get out of my daughter's restroom!" Me: "Does your daughter care? Have you ever met a trans person?" [Finds out that RWNJ has worked for Heritage, MRC, and every possible toxic right wing group]
I saw this happen too! Meta has metatastized and is infecting our society but will it take chemo?
Eminem - "My Name Is (Slim Shady)" "Hi kids, do you like Primus" came off as "I'm the rap version of South Park" and was an instant sale for 16 year old me. Banger first line of a first hit for a legend.

The original had the misfortune of being released when the clock for the R word was at 11:59:57.
We need an army of Anderson Claytons of all colors, genders, creeds, alliances, and undiscovered galaxies. Give me my Anderson Klingon!
Visiting San Francisco a couple months ago reminded me that Nancy Pelosi had quite the legacy before she went into leadership and overstayed her welcome. Same for Dianne Feinstein. One must wonder, would we have seen a mass retirement of women born in the FDR administration if Hillary won?
What would Del. Holmes-Norton do, write a sternly written letter? Gerentocracy is a disease that is killing America.
Fab!
You don't recover from a kidney transplant that quickly and flawlessly.
I had a weird dream where Miles in Transit was on Phantom Gourmet going on about diners and it reminded me of when early influencer Tom "BostonTweet" O'Keefe was *actually* on Phantom Gourmet and now I'm in the kidney donor saviour arc rabbit hole. Some things never change.
Tom O'Keefe has been problematic going back to the 2010s when he was an early wave influencer whose notability couldn't be figured out. For him to fall into the kidney donor saviour trap seems like SOP.
Then perhaps we should reclassify what Republicans are. I'm good to people but not Republicans. What is your opinion of Fidel Castro?
I would settle for Kamala. At least someone who will better things for people. She deserves her shot.
If a dictator will lower prices, fix healthcare, provide affordable housing, make higher education affordable, and reduce poverty, it would be worth it. We got the worst possible dictator not named Kim or Stalin.
I want the Democrats to do what Republicans are doing now. It's only fair. At least then people would be better off.
At this point I'd want the Democrats to do it when they are back in power. What would America have to lose making Republicans second class citizens?
There is this thing from the 1890s called Jim Crow which you just have to swap some terminology and voila, instant Republican oppression. /s Bondi and Barr would not matter here. They would be unable to practice law unless they became Democrat and followed stringent rules as such.
I would rather erase white people from history. Once we oppress white people, we can finally move on.
Yet we won't hurt the one group which would benefit from it, the one group that has never been oppressed yet thinks they are: the Republican. Humans are bloodthirsty and horrid.
It makes me wonder how we fix it short waiting for people to die.
We need an LBJ in this day and age, sadly Democrats had a castration or hysterectomy in 1966 and lost their daring.
Put the steak fries in the bag.
Yet Republicans with a razor thin majority can disrupt the nation. Was the problem Obama or Democrats as a whole? Democrats need to beat Republicans at their whole game. There is no reason for anywhere in the Northeast or Pacific Coast states to have any elected Republicans whatsoever.
The frustrating thing about neoliberalism is that we would've been better off if McCain won. I love Obama, but he came too soon and we ended up a gerentocratic hell for it.
I wish we could get them to realize that bipartisanship is dead.
It's frustrating to see that emulating what Republicans did 15 years ago is the easy path to victory but Democrats seem to not want victory and even resent those with any backbone.
Let me get this straight. A party chair last year should've primaried legislators for stuff that ended up happening this year. I mean, how does this make any sense whatsoever? Call it what it really is. Racism and Ageism but not the typical form for the former. Typical of #NCpol.
It's frustrating that Democrats bend over backwards to Republicans while Republicans would be fine if every Democrat would FOAD. Where are the Democrats who won't give the time of day to Republicans or work with them ever?
This is the church that John Pavlovich's wife is heavily active in, calling out techbro oligarchs and how they overlap with the antichrist.
It is time for Carlos Mendoza to go full 2011 Jim Riggleman and resign. What would the Mets really have to lose?
"Overflow parking for the Kowloon 75th Birthday Celebration is at Saugus High School, a 5 minute walk away. We recommend you take Uber or Lyft as well." Sure. "5 minutes" through a sidewalk down an offramp through another parking lot. This is @thetransitguy.com gold right here.
Oh, this I remember!
Would this be happening if Kamala won?
Am I the only person who is exhausted of Republicans and wish they would all go away? Every time they do something, I loathe them more and more. And it feels like comeuppance and consequences don't exist for them at all. When does the plot armor break?
ClassyWhale rode the first train from New Orleans and alluded to Miles being on the first train from Mobile in his video.
