It's pretty friggin cool that Joseph Contreras (son of former MLB pitcher, Jose Contreras) is pitching for Brazil's WBC team.

He's a 17 year-old high schooler! Pitching against the best players from the United States!

He made Aaron Judge ground into a double play!

Man, that's so awesome.

How long do electric vehicle batteries actually last? When the modern electric vehicle was still in its infancy, drivers worried that vehicles would need expensive battery replacements within a few years. But battery lifespans are exceeding expectations.

Gulf allies complain US didn't notify them of Iran attacks and ignored their warnings, sources say Officials say Iran’s retaliatory attacks in the Middle East over strikes from Israel and the U.S. have left some of America’s partners in the Gulf frustrated over a lack of notice or adequate defense.

β€œGulf countries said their countries were not given advance notice of the U.S.-Israeli attack and complained the U.S. had ignored their warnings that the war would have devastating consequences for the entire region.”

Not great news for those of us opposed to higher energy bills. Joliet residents deserve better.

I don’t think intentions are that meaningful when it comes to politics because almost everyone sans serial killers have β€œgood intentions” but I will say this: it was possible to leave a lot of the Bush era leadership had β€œgood intentions” even as the policies were a blooddrenched miserable horror…

They function so often like shut in anime nazis that it’s hard to even give a benefit of the doubt of β€œgood intentions” even. bsky.app/profile/mehd...

Photo from the early 1970s of a man on horseback negotiating the Birmingham inner ring road at Holloway Head

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.

Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

(And would much appreciate a RT please)

I really hope our local officials can get this woman and the other Americans out before they are removed from the country.

As I understand the official stories so far, there is no record of her in either facility *under that name* but her phone pinging and texts show she is actually there. I wonder under what name she is being held.

Oh no! Thank you for reposting. I was just having a conversation with my spouse on how we need to keep certain things in our freezer and this is one of our staples – yikes.

Electricians and plumbers are seeing these dipshits and going "hell yeah, job security"

These dipshits are guaranteed to fuck up a DIY listening to their gooning machine made of plagiarism and turn a $200 problem into a $20,000 problem.
