Apple used to be a generic word for fruit and only (relatively) recently did it come to mean a specific type of fruit. The same way deer used to be a generic term for any animal you hunted in a forest, which was a wood used just for hunting. Isn’t language fun?
WOW. They remembered the serpent is supposed to have arms and legs before condemnation! Also...they didn't just make the fruit apples (that never made sense to me...), so kudos to them on that.

“I don’t care about the Clippers/Kawhi stuff” is just an absurd statement for anyone to make if they care to claim about the league. The salary cap is critical to the players union and tied to many things they advocate for. Circumventing it only helps the rich get richer, and

Game Theory dictates that yes, everyone will do it.
The "open season" and "everyone will do it now" is so naive, man.

When winning is all that matters, all that ends up mattering is winning.
New evidence obtained by Softball On SI shows the Oklahoma LL State Tournament may have been a sham, with only one of the three participating teams actually eligible to compete. This goes far beyond Tulsa National. si.com/onsi/softball/news/ne…

Students routinely work for the school and get paid in money
Replying to @Karatesoup3
College is for learning a specfic skill set in order to get a job that requires a degree. Athletic scholarships gives you a free ride. If you're good enough you can advance to the pros and get paid. OBTW, I'm a grandpa.

Every now and then, we’re offered a glimpse that they really do think we’re stupid
BREAKING: @SenRonJohnson has released texts from Jan. 2021 revealing Dr. Fauci was concerned the 2nd dose of the COVID shot “could be associated with miscarriage.” Millions of Americans were forced into taking this shot. This is beyond unacceptable. We need accountability now.

Deciding that rules only matter conditionally based on arbitrary factors renders them useless and meaningless. Actions have consequences.

Flock camera catch killers and would-be killers. You leftists are nuts. It could be you, your wife, your mom, your kid. Sit the down you anti-civilizational freaks.

Paxton is flawed but Talarico does not represent Texas values, lol.

TMZ is really good at figuring out where the open lanes are and owning them. Think about that fact and then why they’re doing political stuff. Then try not to scream
Just as we all thought, TMZ is only focused on sex scandals and … double checks … this is a really well done interview on foreign policy & how US officials should speak in public.

“East” and “West” are reductive terms and I don’t like them, but we’ll have to use them for this because that’s how we talk about it. Greece is more “Eastern” than “Western” in our understanding of the world
Being confused by this is about as authentic to the poem as you could be, since Homer extended the wanderings from 3 to 10 years but never fixed the problem that Telemachus really only works as a ~16 year old.

“1B/dh room” get your football parlance as far as possible from me thank you
According to @JeffPassan, the Seattle Mariners are the “Dream Match” for Willson Contreras, if the Red Sox are to move the All-Star 1B at the deadline. He notes that Contreras would be the “most meaningful upgrade” but the Mariners already have a crowded 1B/DH room, so adding Contreras would put pressure on manager Dan Wilson to “navigate playing time and egos”

It used to take years or longer for words to change meanings and for things to become cliche, but now it takes weeks or months because of how much we communicate. It’s not a good thing
karen used to be a term reserved for people who harassed people minding their own business (and typically racism is involved) but now you see a woman rightfully scolding some jackass endangering the lives of the community and call her karen. it’s getting to a point

What’s even funnier is the game was originally meant as a takedown of the system but has since been enshrined as the standard to aspire to
There’s literally a children’s board game whose whole premise is showing how free market capitalism ends with one person owning everything while everyone else goes bankrupt.

If you’ve been paying attention this is t surprising at face value. It’s also the first step to narrowing “proper” Christianity to whatever they feel like. Catholic? Lutheran? Episcopalian? Better read that German poem. Also, doesn’t seem like a great idea to go after the IC lol
Under new military guidance from Pete Hegseth, the LDS Church is officially classified as a non-Christian religion. My fellow Saints, you can love these Christian nationalists all you want, but they will not love you back. military.com/dod-officially-…
