one giants owner is all over the epstein files, tisch. original giants owner in the 20s was a bookie, mara. original and still owner of the steelers was a racketeer, rooney. current "redskins" owner replacing the blighted previous owner is at least mentioned in the epstein files. cant recall if he was as implicated as tisch but one of his more modern financial scams was too convoluted for me to understand but his hedge fund or whatever convinced old people to let them take out large life insurance policies on them and then package them as an investments. harris. the ceo of his company apollo, leon black was definitely dipping his pen in epsteins inc.
meanwhile tennis player jessica pegulas father owns the buffalo bills and sabres. he was mentioned in the epstein files but for seemingly unrelated reasons. he is a heavy republican contributor and according to another story i dont understand had his tennis star daughter in line to come into the family business but then wrote a story about her mother having a heart attack and the subsequent brain damage as a result after which her father cut her out of the succession plan. if that story is true i cannot figure out why. it wasnt about blame, it was a personal story about dealing with family trauma. (i assume its either bad for business or nobodys business.)
this has nothing to do with that other thread. just prompted by someone posting a link to a review about a football book from an author i dont like.

i dont know about sinners. theres a lot to like but came away feeling underwhelmed. maybe i just dont care for the need of a horror genre to be the delivery system for some broader cultural statement.
Not Lamont!

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it.

the tyranny of the arched floor lamp is over. had been a sagging nuiscance for years but stuck with it. pulled it out to try and stiffen its resolve but the base wasnt having it. the plastic and the concrete within keeping it weighted complete fell apart so i rid myself of it post haste but not before slightly scratching the parquet flooring. how best to cover that up? its very hard to notice like a couple of inches long and the width of a ball point pen nib, but considering how old this flooring probably is its in remarkably good shape and id like to not notice it.
RIP Uncle Floyd
