My daughter had back to back soccer games over the weekend against a team in Tucson. I thought both teams were pretty even, but the expectation was the Tucson team was a bit better and if there was anyone my daughter’s team was going to lose to in field play it was them. They lost both, but there were a few calls late during both games that might’ve changed the outcome, such as a goal taken away on an offsides call.
While eating dinner she said her British soccer coach said something racist. I don’t really like the guy, so I of course had to find out more…
…turns out he was actually just implied the referees being Mexican, were favoring the Tucson team since nearly all of the girls on that team were Mexican. I was disappointed I had to explain that made the referees racist, not the British soccer coach.
…anyways…¡enlaces!
We know, in fact I will go so far to say we knew when this lady going missing became a story, we just didn’t care.
Tucson losing a Mexican baseball franchise due to the team filing the wrong work visas for their players, is the most Tucson story of all time.

White people noticing brown people’s racism is even more racist than regular racism.
The brown people can’t be racist.
This is known.
Only yellow and white people can be racist.
Also.
Stop Asian hate. By white people.
It’s racist because only white people can be racist.
Too slow.
That’s what Speedy Gonzales would say. You’re racist for pointing it out.
Technically, isn’t MS a fellow brown? Or is he a White Hispanic?
I meant the British coach, although presuming a Brit is white in [current year] is probably an anachronistic conceit.
“She was probably kidnapped and died in Mexico” strikes me as the “dingo at my baby” excuse of shitty enforcement that can’t solve the crime.
I bet she died that night on the way to wherever they eventually dumped her.
Just a guess. But old frail people who need meds, have pacemakers, and have are bleeding likely don’t last long in high stress situations.
“Martes por la tard”

LaGuardia has a runway safety system allowing air traffic controllers to track surface movement of planes and vehicles, but that system “did not alert,” Homendy said.
One reason — none of the vehicles rushing to the tarmac had tracking systems installed, including the Port Authority fire truck struck by the landing Air Canada flight
The analysis found that the system “did not generate an alert due to the close proximity of vehicles merging and unmerging near the runway, resulting in the inability to create a track of high confidence,” Homendy said.
Isn’t that supposed to be the belt for the suspenders?
I read the same that you highlighted earlier as well.
Alerting systems are by definition, the warning system of last resort. They are intended to catch errors and provide enough time to take some corrective action.
The article doesn’t give any details as to whether the alert is intended to tell the controller there is a problem or tell the pilot of the aircraft there is a problem.
Ownbestenemy will have more knowledge of what was installed a LaGuardia.
I have some familiarity of equipment on the aircraft side.
To me, this . . . none of the vehicles rushing to the tarmac had tracking systems installed, implies ADS-B Out reporting by ground vehicles. Without that, the aircraft can’t track the ground vehicles . . . Although ADS-B In is not required by regulations at this time (to the best of my knowledge).
There are also ground based radar systems that track vehicles even if they aren’t transmitting their position.
allowing air traffic controllers to track surface movement
duh, reading comprehension failure.
Team Blue likely helping Team Red.

TOO LOCAL NEWS: St. Anselm’s latest NH political poll
The latest St. Anselm College poll shows New Hampshire voters are generally grumpy about politics in general and President Donald Trump in particular. And opposition to the war in Iran isn’t helping.
“War and economic uncertainty tend to hurt the incumbent party. As a result, the political environment continues to deteriorate for New Hampshire Republicans,” said Institute of Politics Executive Director Neil Levesque.
At the same time, Granite Staters feel pretty good about Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte and are unimpressed by her potential Democratic opponents. In fact, former Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington is viewed favorably by just 44 percent of her own party.
Meanwhile, Republican policies continue to be more popular than the party, especially its “no income tax” stance, which is shared by 71 percent of voters — including a plurality of Democrats.
But how will NH provide things like bike paths?
Tariffs?
State funding for bike paths mostly comes from registration fees for off-road vehicles like snowmobiles. For those in state park land, the state parks are self-funded through user fees.
That’s just crazy talk.
I had a feeling after I hit post that my sarcasm/joke detector was on the fritz.
Though on a serious note, yes, NH state parks are self-funded. There is no appropriation from the general fund for parks in NH.

Quadruple Amputee Cornhole Champion Claims It Was A Different Quadruple Amputee Cornhole Champion Who Shot That Guy

For a second I thought that was real and we were living in the best timeline.
We already got Afroman, let’s not get greedy.
I’m still wondering how the guy could drive and shoot at the same time.
Someone will explain it to me soon, ‘cuz I’m completely stumped.
Maybe he was mad because another driver cut him off.

Kara Swisher is an award-winning journalist and host of CNN’s Kara Swisher Report. She was the first to interview Iran’s Ayatollah after his death during the US bombing of his country.

No. Way.
Speaking of air travel safety, or lack thereof, many many moons ago I was on a flight from Florida to Atlanta. We came in over the fence and were almost on the ground when the driver floored it and put us in aa serious climb. We went back up to altitude, circled around and landed just as if nothing odd had happened. Not a single word of explanation was offered. I don’t know who or what was on that runway but we missed them.

The philosophy quiz mentioned earlier is interesting. Turns out I’m a strong existentialist, though it might just mean I understand what Nietzsche was trying to say.
Anyway, it was disappointing the quiz made no mention of Eastern philosophy. The Western vs Eastern philosophy rap battle is amusing:

Dodge has decided to drop the SRT badge, stuffing the 392-cubic-inch iron-block V-8 into an R/T model for the first time. Despite the new moniker, the Hemi still makes a heady 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. Dodge claims that’s enough to send the all-wheel-drive three-row mid-size SUV to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, with the quarter-mile passing in an NHRA-certified 12.9 ticks.
