i would like to order one infodump pls sir

Brace yourselves, I'm gonna talk about sports.

If you slightly stretch your definitions, and don't listen to the lies big NFL is spreading, the Indianapolis Colts are actually the second oldest NFL team.

The Dayton Triangles (incredible name) were founded in 1913, starting off in the old Ohio League, and joined the NFL as a founding member in 1920. The Triangles are believed to have played in the very first NFL game in October 1920.

The Triangles then moved to Brooklyn and became the Dodgers. Side tangent: NFL teams really liked to copy MLB team names from the 20s through to the 40s, the New York Giants are the last big vestige of this, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were originally the Pittsburgh Pirates. There was an NFL and MLB St. Louis Cardinals at the same time for a couple decades, but it was a complete coincidence! The baseball and football Cardinals both date back to the late 19th century, but the football Cardinals started off in Chicago, coincidentally moving to St. Louis in the 60s, and now playing in Arizona. Early NFL teams also liked to pick names that thematically fit with the local baseball team, such as the Chicago Bears and Cubs, and the Detroit Lions and Tigers.

Anyways, back to the Triangles lineage. The Dodgers eventually renamed themselves the Tigers for a single season, and merged with the Boston Yanks for 1945 because of the war.

Here's where the headache begins, the Yanks and the Tigers separated again after the 1945 season, and the Tigers owner left for the rival AAFC to become the New York Yankees. In '49, the Yanks owner moved the team from Boston to New York to become the Bulldogs. When the AAFC merged with the NFL in 1950, only three teams were selected to join fully. The rest had their players dispersed to teams in their area. The Yankees players were dispersed between the Giants and Bulldogs, who renamed themselves the Yanks again.

In 1952, the Yanks sold the team to the league after financial problems. The league sold the team, which relocated to become the Dallas Texans (no connection to the AFL's Dallas Texans, who are now the Kansas City Chiefs)

The Texans sucked. They didn't even last the full 1952 season before being sold back to the league. So again, the team was sold to a new owner and relocated, this time to Baltimore. The Baltimore Colts (no connection to the AAFC's Baltimore Colts, one of the three teams chosen to fully join the NFL, which quickly folded after a year or two) were officially founded in 1953, and continue to this day in Indianapolis. A move infamously executed in the middle of the night under threat of imminent domain by the state, using Mayflower moving trucks. (Yes, the move was shitty, but Baltimore also stole the original Browns from Cleveland so not like their fans can claim to be saints either.)

The NFL doesn't consider the Colts lineage to trace back to the Triangles, and neither do the Colts themselves. It's a fun curiosity that lives on in the mind of fans, and sometimes it pops up every now and then.

In 1909, she accompanied her brothers to Europe to obtain funding and promote sales. During these exhibitions, Wright acted as the representative of the Wright Company. Soon, she and her brothers were seen as celebrities in Europe where she was awarded the Legion of Honor, the highest French order of merit. In

Canal Market District in Newark, Ohio

Fresh fruit and vegetables, new products and crafts were just a few of the items available at the Canal Market District in downtown Newark. Opening in 2016, the market began with close to ten vendors and offered a summer schedule of local entertainment.  Some of the amazing merchants I met included Nay and Terry Dismore from Pretzels with a Twist.  Their company offers miniature gourmet pretzels…

On September 12, 1951, The Mob premiered in Dayton, Ohio.

It's December 17th, 🛩️ Wright Brothers Day, the day America honors its favorite sons, the Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio, for having invented, built, and flown the world’s first motor-powered airplane. On this day in 1903, with Wilbur running alongside their "Wright Flyer" to balance the fragile craft, Orville piloted the plane into the air for 12 seconds over a distance of 120 feet above the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. And the rest is history.

The Wright brothers became fascinated with flying when their father bought the boys a toy helicopter – a device based upon an invention by French aeronautical pioneer Alphonse Pénaud. Wilbur and Orville played with it until it broke and then built a new one of their own. 

In August, 1896, German glider Otto Lilienthal plunged to his death during one of his gliding tests. This tragic accident impressed itself in the minds of the Wright brothers, who were young men now, and marked the beginning of their serious interest in motor-powered flight. After studying Lilienthal's publications, Wilbur and Orville decided to pick up where Lilienthal left off. 

The brothers’ experimentation with flying was quite simple, yet impressive. They observed the way birds change the angle of their wings to make their bodies roll left or right and concluded that this would also be a great way for a flying machine to turn. 

After several weeks of delays caused by broken propeller shafts during the engine tests, the Wright brothers finally took to the air at 10:35 AM on December 17th, 1903. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Things are heating up in the Ragdoll fandom…

The Ragdoll fancy has always been… intense, to put it kindly. This is likely in no small part to the breed being founded by a nutter of a woman named Ann Baker who arbitrarily assigned her foundation cats to be “dark side” and “light side” and tried to franchise the breed.

The history of the breed is rife with conflict, as many early breeders weren’t interested in going along with Baker’s nonsense and decided to align themselves with Denny and Laura Dayton to further recognition for the breed.

The Ragdoll as we know the breed today was largely championed by the Daytons and is recognized in a limited selection of colors and patterns. The Ragdoll is a blue-eyed colorpointed breed.

Well… some people disagree.

Mink, sepia and even solid cats have been bred under the label Cherubim which you may know better as the RagaMuffin. Baker had trademarked the term “Cherubim” in addition to “Ragdoll,” so when Cherubim breeders distanced themselves from her they couldn’t continue to use that name for the breed and so the RagaMuffin was born.

But there are still Cherubim breeders.

These mink, sepia and solid breeders are very attached to the Ragdoll label and consider themselves to be Ragdoll breeders. They fought for these patterns to be added to the Ragdoll standard and their cats to be recognized as Ragdolls, often citing that solid cats were used by Baker in the foundation of the breed.

Opponents may argue that the solid foundation cats were never registered as Ragdolls so they don’t really count.

There is a lot of animosity between the two sides, they don’t just disagree and conflict is often aggressive. Think of a couple of bucks squaring up in rut… kind of like that but words instead of antlers.

But a big change is pending and it’s sure to piss a lot of people on either side off.

TICA is recognizing mink, sepia and solid cats as Cherubim within the Ragdoll breed group. This means these cats are going to he considered Ragdolls just… a subtype different from the traditional. It kind of reminds me of how the Neva Masquerade is an offshoot of the Siberian.

This goes into effect starting May 1st 2025.

Very interested to see where things go from here!

This Day in History: Memphis Belle

On this day in 1943, a B-17 Flying Fortress completes its 25th combat mission without losing a member of its crew. Memphis Belle would return to the United States, embark on a war bond tour, and become one of the most famous bombers to emerge from World War II.

She was nearly sold for scrap metal after the war, but Memphis mayor Walter Chandler saved her for $350. Today, she’s been refurbished and sits at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.

Memphis Belle’s survival was no small feat.

On November 7, 1979, Col. Jim Sullivan and Col. Richard Uppstrom delivered the only surviving YF-12A aircraft, 60-6935, to the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio. The aircraft has been on permanent display in the museum's Research and Development Gallery ever since. The YF-12 flew from test flight in 1965 when my father Richard “Butch” Sheffield was test flighting the SR 71 at Edward’s until 1979.

That’s 33 years!

Interesting because the RSO was the Museum Director!

Yes, he is listed on the official list as a VIP who flew the YF-12. Here is the list if somebody says they flew the SR 71 or any Blackbird check here. sr71.us/Supp_BBook_Pg1…

I just wonder how he convinced them to give him a ride in a Blackbird. Or it could’ve been the other way around. I don’t know the full story but I sure would like to know.

It was a very smooth move, and I’m sure gave him plenty to talk about his flight as he was the longest museum Director in history.

We know who Jim Sullivan is he is the SR-71 pilot who flew the 972 to London in 1974 along with RSO Noel Widdifield I saw Noel at the last reunion. I did read that this was the first and only time that Sullivan flew a YF12. I don’t think it was much different than the SR 71 in the cockpit that is.

The YF 12 held three air-to-air missiles in its bay instead of cameras.
