Worst place to be in any sport is highest level of sub-elite; you’re exceptionally talented and have devoted years to mastering your craft but you’re acutely aware of how far you are from the real pros

6-6:30 pace marathoners seem to be the most unhappy ones out there, despite being unfathomably fast to non-runners

tennis has the challenger tour, golf the korn ferry tour, baseball the low level minors/indy ball, basketball and soccer any number of low-level leagues in distant countries, track the guys just outside the otq/us champs qualifying windows… all the same. miserable place to be

amongst….everything else going on, it sure is funny how the two Democratic candidates in recent years whose primary wins provoked their rivals to wage seething, spiteful, petulant general election campaigns against them are named “Zohran Mamdani” and “Abdul El-Sayed” !!!

Machines are tools, not persons. Today, some propose granting these systems rights, or even legal personhood. Such an approach risks obscuring human responsibility and leaving those who suffer harm to confront a faceless entity.

a society grows great when men build people movers in whose cars they know they will never sit... small-minded people keep talking about "delays" and "cost overruns" but i know this project is not for me but for my children's children

Lula no se merecía terminar su vida política perdiendo con un personaje tan indigno. A veces, muy pocas veces, la historia es justa.
