Went to the Banana Ball game at Wrigley Field today maybe sports weren't a mistake after all <3
Also for my musical theatre friends: Derek Klena (Dmitry in the original Broadway cast of Anastasia, Aaron Tveit's replacement as Christian in Moulin Rouge, Tony award nominee for his role as Nick Healy in Jagged Little Pill) is now on the Savannah Bananas both as a performer/entertainer and as a pitcher. So i got to hear him sing AND see him pitch tonight. Ily Derek Klena
okay but for sure baby shane on his first hockey team got to play on the ice during an intermission at a centaurs game in the 90s. he scored a goal and did a cute little celebration jump (and immediately lost his balance and fell on his butt). harris pulls the clip from somewhere deep in the centaurs archive. he makes an insta post after shane's first game with the cens and includes the video with a caption about tonight being shane hollander's second ever centaurs goal.
ilya just barely manages to keep himself from sobbing in delight at the video.
You are decended from escaped Nazi's though let's get that point straight.
This is exceedingly funny because I, Aimee, descend from a jewish Holocaust survivor. My great grandpa Berco, paternal grandfather to my mom. He's the only surviving member of his family after they were invaded and murdered by nazis on 1930s Romania.
I know more people descending from jewish, muslim or indigenous people than people with german ancestry. The only people with german ancestry I've met are jewish.
The claim "Argentina is a nazi country" affects first and foremost jewish argentinians, not the fascists.
"Argentina is a white country" affects the brown, black and indigenous argentinians, not the racists.
"Argentina is an evil country aligned to the US and Israel" completely misses the point we're a third world country in Latin America under imperialist attack.
Milei's goverment is trying to pass laws that allow foreign goverments and corporations to buy our land. He's gifted them our water, lithium and scientific resources.
WE are the first victims of what's happening.
It's indigenous people whose land is about to be sold in this foreign takeover.
The victims of Argentinian racism are my brown friends who get stopped by the police.
The victims of the fascist state is my own fucking family, my 90 year old uncle with AIDS got his medication cut because they want him dead.
"Argentina chose its president, they must think like him" but Milei has support from foreign entities and rose to power thanks to the media painting him as "an economist" who would solve our terrible inflation problem. People were made to feel they had no other choice. We are a third world country with no global power whatsoever. We are the USA ans Israel's victim, not its ally.
So yeah, very funny, we descend from nazis. We have wiped all people who aren't white. We're zionists colonizers who threaten the UK. Yes, sure.
i think some of you guys should question why algorithms are only feeding you this negative information about argentina, only representing us as either violent, racist, or both, instead of showing you the black and brown argentinians and immigrants who are trying to tell you how it is living here, instead of showing you families being happy about the wins or argentinians supporting other latam countries throughout the world cup, algorithms that are programmed and designed overwhelmingly by usa rightwingers and zionists, and why would they want the world to have such a negative image of argentina at the same time as our president, a us/israeli puppet, is trying to remove laws that protect our land and resources so billionaires in those countries can buy it and exploit it, at the same time as peter thiel moved to argentina because he knows that same puppet president will give him whatever the fuck he wants and let him do whatever the fuck he wants, at the same time as israeli companies are trying to buy our water and burn our forests. think about it.
seek leftist argentinian voices, indigenous argentinian voices, black and brown argentinian voices, progressive argentinian voices. learn about our history and our current political climate from them, not from your algorithm, not from whatever goes viral.
For those of you who are genuinely interested in listening to afroargentinian voices, you can follow Emmanuel Ntaka, Zoe Gerbaudo, Jennifer Parker and PibaAfroQom.
All of them have spoken out about the dangers of this campaign that only erases afroargentines even more.
Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.
They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.
Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.
You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.
This article specifically notes:
For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation.
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.
Other important quotes:
What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.
Two things back that up:
There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.
Then there’s activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: “It’s impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].” Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.
Maybe one reason time seems to speed up in adult life is because when your full time job leaves you roughly 5 hours of free time a day plus two days off a week your life turns into a sort of monotony that makes the days blend together and creative pursuits move in slow motion as you can only get to them when other your commitments are done.
ok. so like. to explain the joke I believe RR/Hayden is making here.
Sergei Fedorov, one of the greatest to ever do it, was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in 1989, helped to defect from the USSR by Red Wings management in 1990, and played there for 13 years and won us 3 Stanley Cups. Absolutely goated and beloved player. On the list of Top 100 NHL Players of All Time, on top of being the first Soviet/Russian player to win every various trophy, etc. etc.
In 2003, as a 34-year-old established legend, he declined to resign a 5-year $50M deal with Detroit (under which he could have likely finished out his career and retired, again, as an absolutely beloved legend in the town that drafted him while taking home $10M/year as a 39-year-old hockey player...) in favor of taking $10M less money to become (or was promised to become) the face of the franchise that had been recently founded by the Walt Disney Company called... The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
The decision baffled the world and enraged every living person in the state of Michigan. There is an entire chapter in the book The Russian Five laying out the circumstances at the time that may have led to his departure, but comes to no conclusion.
The non-shippy reading of Hayden's comment is that in 2003, Fedorov was splitting from tennis star Anna Kournikova, and that somehow precipitated his departure.
The shippy reading of the comment is that when Fedorov arrived in Detroit, he chose #91 because it was the inverse of #19, the number of Red Wings team captain Steve Yzerman, whom Fedorov knew from international play and already idolized, with whom he would go on to play all 13 years with on the Red Wings and win all 3 Stanley Cups with, and it is that hypothetical breakup that caused Mr. Russian Legend to sign with Anaheim.
