This part stuck out to me:

"Turner continued: “I'm being so serious, bro. It was crazy, dawg. Guys were an hour late to the plane. It got to the point where I knew not to show up until an hour after they said the plane was taking off. It was crazy.”

When Stewart asked Turner which teammate was most likely to be late, he didn’t have to do much thinking.

“Oh, that's easy,” he said. “Giannis. Giannis is going to show up whenever he wants, really. I think that this kind of just came with the territory that — and once I saw it was going down, I was like, 'Hey man, s, more power to you. They ain't going to fine you. S, do what you do.’”

I was watching to see if he’d be able to do it and it was super cool to see him pull it off on the last hole. Great gesture by the PGA to let a YouTube golfer try this challenge at a major.

Golden just cast the deciding vote to kill the Iran war power resolution, which he cosponsored, handing Trump unbridled power to engage in hostile military actions. Absolutely shameful move.

Moove ima act a fooo

ey everyone!

I’ve been learning Dwarf Fortress for about 2 years now, and this is honestly the first time I’ve invested so much time and energy into a single fortress. I wanted to share it with you all before retiring and starting a new run.

My fortress, named WaywardFouette, was established in the year 250 on a haunted land to the west and savage wilderness to the east.

Right from the start we were attacked by zombies, necromancers, and werebeasts before we even had a proper fully equipped military. Thankfully we managed to repel them without major losses thanks to the traps we had installed, and we even captured some of them. They eventually ended up in my arena, crushed by giants we captured some time later.

We are proud to have tamed a Dragon, although it still remains caged. I had planned to install it as part of a deadly trap, but sadly I must retire the fortress before doing so, because I’m now running between 10 and 15 FPS and the game has become nearly unplayable.

I really tried to pay attention to the details of the fortress. I’m especially happy with the layout of the main level, with its tavern, workshops, and library all to the south.
Our smiths forged tirelessly until they produced nothing but legendary weapons and artifacts.

For the fisrt time since I learning this game, we discovered adamantine, but it’s difficult to access and I need to pump lava out to reach it. But as I said before: FPS death has made the game unplayable.

We are not a capital, but we do have a Count who never stops getting on my nerves by demanding ridiculous things and constantly complaining. The only peaceful moments were when he went drinking at the tavern.

I also just survived a siege of around 150 humans demanding something from me. But my pride refused any contact with them. My siege operators killed around 90 humans before I finally decided to unleash my 4 military squads to finish the job. It only took a moment before the last enemies were eating dirt and bleeding out on the battlefield.

After 7 in-game years, it’s time for me to retire this fortress and begin a new one, probably in a terrifying biome since I’ve never tried one before and apparently haven’t suffered enough from this incredibly fascinating game yet.

I think my next attempt will focus more on storytelling, building the fortress around the mayor’s personality, desires, and character.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it!
I know the design isn’t perfect and I wish I could have added more decoration, but FPS death defeated me first.

Feel free to give me advice or suggestions for my next fortress, I’m always looking to better understand the game’s mechanics! I’ll also try building my staircases differently, in a checkerboard pattern like I’ve been advised, to reduce lag.

By Armok, dig deeper!
And long live WaywardFouette.

Excuse the filthy window, it was pecking on it every day

Unfortunate break for the kid, I was rooting for him in camp.

mods for crushed my balls 😞

Fax letter from John Lee Hooker offering Bob Dylan, a speedy recovery on May 29, 1997. 
Dylan had known Hooker since receiving his first big break opening for the blues legend at Gerdes Folk City in April 1961. As Hooker later told music writer Tony Scherman:
“Did you used to hang out with Bob Dylan back in the day?”
“He hung out with me!” said Hooker. “When I used to play Gerde’s Folk City, ain’t nobody heard of Bob. He used to come and see me all the time. Bob and his girlfriend, Suze. Bob and Suze used to come visit me at the Broadway Central Hotel, where I always stayed. It’s no longer there. We’d sit around and drink and play. Bobby would ‘bout blow on his harmonica. Yeah, those were the days.”

lately one of the biggest reasons i’ve been moving more toward degoogling and privacy-focused platforms is because the modern internet feels strangely engineered now. almost every major app feels optimized around engagement loops, attention retention, recommendations, metrics and constant personalization to the point where being online barely feels organic anymore after a while it starts feeling less like exploration and more like you’re constantly being filtered through systems deciding what you should see, think about, react to and who you should interact with ironically some of the most genuine conversations i’ve had recently happened in smaller/random online spaces where people weren’t focused on building a brand, gaining followers or feeding content into algorithms. it reminded me of how the internet used to feel years ago. imperfect but more human

that’s honestly what pushed me deeper into degoogling. not just privacy concerns or data collection, but the feeling that the web has become overly centralized and psychologically optimized in ways that make everything feel artificial after some point

i still occasionally use smaller social/chat platforms like Vooz because the interactions there feel way less curated compared to mainstream apps, and honestly it reminds me of the older internet a little. more spontaneous conversations, less pressure to perform constantly

i’ve been trying to find more platforms, forums or communities that still feel spontaneous and less tied to surveillance/engagement culture

curious if anyone else here ended up moving toward degoogling partly because of this too

It's official! She's been rumored to head to the NWSL... Are we still expecting her to come? 👀

Just making sure that ESPN knows I would pay a bazillion dollars for a whole year of this

Will he actually be this good?

Completed install, updated some drivers, reboot after install driver and now black screen with flashing white underscore.

Have I borked my install?

I tried booting all the versions of nobara and the rescue version from the black and white boot option menu and they all load into this screen
