had a slice with the lunch special yesterday

the correct place to get pizza in chapel hill is "Italian Pizzeria III."

one of my students went to UNC and after he moved to chapel hill he sent me a text saying, "please tell me where to get pizza, i just got pizza and it was the worst thing i've ever eaten," and i knew exactly what happened.

universally agreed to be the worst pizza anyone has ever had.

there was a big dust up over how much money was being spent by UNC on "gourmet pizza" when i was there, because the only pizza place in town that both accepted checks (how most of the faculty paid) and kept a UNC charge account was called "amante's gourmet pizza."

now THIS part, he's used to

everyone keeps saying american politicians sound like sephiroth and now look what happened

wonder how the professors complained about me and my friends not respecting the glenn miller orchestra hard enough in the nascent social media era

they got Ken Rosenthal out here trying to give NBC Olympics style updates but all the anecdotes are, "Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper are acquainted with each other."

it’s wild that Paul Skenes was the no. 1 pick less than three years ago and is now the best RHP on the planet and the no. 1 pick Skenes and the current Skenes bear almost no resemblance to each other as pitchers

just a ho-hum four innings, seven strikeouts, one hit on 60 pitches on march 9th for paul skenes

"team GB" does roll off the tongue better than "team UK," i guess.

i really just think there are places where the machinations required to get a tournament full of vaguely competitive teams becomes very apparent, and this is one of them.

although it's a confusing distinction in general; there are bahamians on team "great britain," so maybe they're the commonwealth team, but then canada has its own team

well, i'm asking because the baseball team in the world baseball classic is "team great britain," and not "team UK," which makes no sense for this exact reason

the moment the true purpose of disney star wars became fully clear to me was when i realized that the name "grogu" was chosen because it could be respeechered out of weird creepy CG composite luke skywalker's mouth based on him once saying the words "rogue group"

Jazz is from the Bahamas

Why are they Great Britain and not the UK

GOOD MORNING!

totally forgot jose contreras was briefly a pirate

team brazil looks as much like the 1992 seattle mariners as possible, making them the official Team of Bluesky

i've always liked the "USA" with the flag-striped S, i think you're right, it needs a way simpler hat to pair with it

i would read a solid 2000 words on how USA baseball decided on those borderline inscrutable hats some point in the late 20th century and then has stuck with them for decades

i think that dave filoni thought the glup shitto thing was a compliment

i won on a forfeit, so i guess there's that.

i have never been irrationally madder about a learned league question than the one yesterday that asked about 2048 instead of threes.

"the pirates should have given a major league contract to a guy who couldn't get one anywhere else" listen to yourselves

👎

i hate to be an "all reality is now just inifinte jest made real" guy but ... year of the whopper, baby.

there are plenty of TROUBLING TRENDS these days, but "we asked an LLM why it did something and ran it like a quote" as just normal reporter behavior is actually REALLY HIGH on the list

was not prepared to be asked to Remember yu chang tonight
