why is she apologizing, she didn't do anything wrong
本件で世論をお騒がせして大変申し訳ございません。 今回は感情に任せ、誤解の起こるような言い回し、言葉選びをしてしまった事は会社からも指導を受け、反省しています。 発出にあった通り、直近自分自身が第三者異性からのセクハラ行為の被害にあったこと、 投稿の意図としては自分が被った被害を他の人で同じ思いをして欲しくないと思い突発的な投稿に至ってしまいました。 後日配信でも今回のこと含めお話させていただきたいです。

Look, I love Buffalo, I lived in Buffalo for two years and it was awesome. But if you have Buffalo *top 2* in the nation in "quality of life percentile" something has gone horribly, horribly wrong with your methodology.
America’s most livable cities, at local median salary and local tax rate. New York: this is probably the reason why Mamdani won
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The chart's "most livable cities" rankings and quality-of-life data rely on Numbeo, a crowdsourced site where anyone can submit or alter entries; it carries explicit disclaimers on accuracy and has been widely criticized by experts and media as unreliable. numbeo.com/common/terms_o… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbeo tf1info.fr/international/…

Yeah I feel like the works of Mashy Spike Plate would be more relevant to a contemporary scientific climate.
I don't think you should read Aristotle in science class but maybe that's just me

The Pirates have hit 99 Sheetz Shotz this season. There is no third digit on the stadium’s counter. They have never hit this many Shotz in a season. We have no precedent for what could happen if they hit anymore Shotz. Will be monitoring the Sheetzuation.

it kinda says something about the absolute state of us state flags that, for many states, i'd still take these oversimplified clipart-and-fillbucket things over their real life version

Given the small cast from wildly different backgrounds, the extreme isolation, and the passage of time, realistically the circus would probably end up developing its own English dialect. Kinda like what happened w long-term researchers in Antarctica.
nobody talks about the slang gap in tadc . pomni joining in 2017 means she was probably saying shit like “yeet” and “don’t @ me” and everyone just stared at her like she was crazy

imo doing this with one number would be sweet, but doing it with two numbers (when RCR already made the same promise of the number 8) is a little silly. after brexton, kyle and samantha's second child is only age 4 rn.
Heather Gibbs told me the No. 18 will never be fielded unless it is driven by a Busch.

imo all of these options have good justifications except orlando. why on earth would you wanna take a third swing at florida if you know how the first two attempts (plus the florida state league) turned out.

Very small sample size, but Wenceel Pérez has quietly been maybe the greatest 9-hole hitter on record? (top 10 by career OPS when batting 9th, min. 25 plate appearances)

I never considered we could call them by their full government names, my bad
Indianapolis cars put on a great show. I think this is the first time I've ever been to Markham. This was my favourite view of the track. 🚆🏁

One part of the CBA/salary cap discourse that I think's been overlooked is, while revenue disparity can ofc be an aggravating factor, teams are often stuck in the cellar simply because they're really, really bad at player development.
Paul Skenes threw just 65 pitches in five innings tonight against the Marlins, allowing one earned run while striking out four, walking one and allowing five hits He never reached 97 MPH on any pitch

If those reports the Pirates coaches were adjusting Skenes's mechanics to swap velocity for stamina were true, it's clearly not working. Either that or he's pitching hurt or something, which seems like an even worse look.
