It's usually a shame when a lawsuit against a shitty board ruins an otherwise meaningful museum, but you gotta do what you gotta do on this one.

The G1 in Japan is a huge story told through a month long tournament and Boy oh Boy do those matches feel like they matter as they are happening. You could easily apply a booked finish to a banana ball season with a dozen+ teams.
WorkOctopus (@octopusmask.bsky.social) reply parent
If Banana Ball can actually stretch itself to having a bunch of teams, suddenly it does matter. Like in the way wrestling wins and losses wind up mattering to a larger story. When it's just the globetrotters vs the Generals, sure it doesn't matter.

It's like wrestling. You have to pretend it is a sport because it's fun to pretend it is a sport, but once it finds itself, you realize it actually is a sport, because the people who are best at entertaining wind up on top, and that is the actual sport of it. It's absolutely competitive.

"Americans LOVE big cars!" No, Americans are terrified of the cars/trucks on the road around them, but also need a car to live, so everything keeps getting bigger in a safety arms race. It's a negative feedback loop and regulation should be interrupting it.

Have you lived in NYC in the last 5 years? The sight seeing choppers are a bigger business now. Central Park and The Battery have choppers above then 12 hours a day. The PD mostly hover in poor neighborhoods in the outer boroughs like mine. Not constant, but daily.
