My bold internet theory is that the highest percentage of bad takes are concentrated from users with their dog as their profile picture.

Stop the War on Cars. Stop taking our parking spots away.

I felt self conscious self posting after the yearly wave of birthday texts but I missed the engagement with the disc golf skeeters. I played my first golf course tournament this weekend and went in totally blind. I think I'm firmly MA2 caliber these days. I think my floor is mid 800s instead of 700

I'm a sucker for a survey. Do I believe there is any chance Innova Disc Golf would make changes to their quality criteria based off of feedback like this? No way in hell. But I'm happy to give that feedback anyways.

I am back on a Quixotic journey to retool my Disc Golf throw, I've gone overboard and thrown probably 300 into field and net in the last two days. Now I have the worst blood blister of my life

This is two days of recording every single throw and critique almost every one of them. I'm trying with all of my might to stop swooping my arm on pull through and anchor my left side so i send the arm instead of jerking it though with the head and neck. 🥏

"Stanford University...is facing criticism for using generative AI to change the photo of a Hispanic male student into a non-existent Black woman for a campus banner." feels like a South Park episode. what are we doing here yall www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I was messing around last night at the end of some field work with a guy from my disc golf league and sprained my ankle on a "one more throw" on some nasty footing I didn't see because it was getting dark. Now I am wondering if I'll even be able to play my tournament next weekend. #FeelingDumb.

Welcome to the strawman factory where we turn your real concerns towards the recent round of anti-trans rights ads statements by Democratic candidates into cute little scarecrows.

I want to say something to woman who came when we tried to get a friend out of a dangerous and abusive situation and were met with annoyance that she had to come out for a domestic disturbance call.

I'd like to say to the officer who placated the abuser despite the attack being recorded and not arresting him. This is what these brave men and women are here for when escalating violence is happening. The abuser went on to do even more damage in the days following while sending a slew of

Threatening text messages. The man was an abuser making active threats while in the possession of a firearm and PPB failed to intervene each time. The fact that no one was gravely injured or worse was purely luck and with no help of the only time we have ever tried to go to the police in Portland.

The next day my wife & friendcame to try and pickup her up and take her to the hospital because she had been beaten so badly she was passing blood when the abuser came out from the apartment and proceeded to hit one of the women on the face and then hit my wife when she tried to get in-between them

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin on Wednesday discouraged Democrats from engaging in the same political gamesmanship over Supreme Court nominees as their Republican colleagues if the party wins the majority in November. @kelseyreichmann.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/durbin-pours...

It's wonderful as someone outside the country you are able to diagnose US politics when the Democratic party can't seem to nail it down. It seems it would have been so easy to win the election if they would have know. How come no one tried to tell her?

It's so obvious to all but USians. The pro Palestinian did in Kamala. There is no one good enough and Republicans are overjoyed. No stealing required.

I mean this absolutely in jest. I want the young man running and I'm fine with the growing pains that come with him getting more aggressive.

Does anyone else find it odd Discount Disc Golf uses an AI young woman as their pfp?

Disc Golf spotlight of another OOP low speed overstable fairway drivers: I present the Latitude 64 Spark. Now replaced mostly by the Glory, this is a relic of an era before Glide numbers became a marketing frenzy. Flat profile, reliable fade and torque resistance make it a great forehand option.

HHS is canceling infant mortality and postpartum grants to focus instead on research related to what the department says are “root causes” like sperm counts and erectile dysfunction. https://www.notus.org/health-science/hhs-cancels-infant-mortality-postpartum-grants-focus-infertility

This might be the best example of legislating fixes to teams manipulating service time. Despite their season, Tigers were a better team because McGonigle broke camp with the team. McGonigle got his arbitration bought out for guaranteed money and Detroit gets a high value pick.

Kevin McGonigle and Sal Stewart are the favorites to win AL and NL Rookie of the Year awards entering September. If they do? Both the Tigers and Reds would add PPI picks after the first round in 2027. www.baseballamerica.com/stories/reco...

Are we really believing this wasn't a coordinated move with minority leadership to make this vote? I think anyone who believes it's just happenstance that these votes keep somehow getting just enough votes like a rabbit out of a hat is naive.

I just found out we got approved for a rental house in a very cute part of the city. 4 years ago we moved out to basically the suburbs after a decade downtown to be closer to my work. It was a terrible decision and isolating from friends and community. This will be our first house too 🏡🏘️
