"BASEBALL IN PRISONS." Kingston Daily Standard. August 3, 1912. Editorial. --- We learn from the New York World that on Sunday last there was played the first of a series of baseball games at Comstock, N.Y., having a considerable interest for others besides "fans." It was played by two teams made up of convicts in the Great Meadow Prison, where the Warden has organized a five-team league from among the 540 prisoners to contest for the prison championship.
Those who think that prisons are intended to reform the criminals will welcome this as an enlightened policy; those who think that punishment is the primary object of imprisonment may object to it. For our own part we welcome it. It is in line with what the Hon. Mr. Hanna is doing on the prison farm. How would it do to try a similar experiment out at Portsmouth? They have an excellent umpire out there in the person of one of the officials while we have no doubt there are many good ball players among the unfortunates confined within the four walls and for whom life at best is none too inviting. To be sure it is their own fault that they are there; but would not this taste of freedoms make them long yet more for the greater freedom that comes from clean, honorable living? Punishment is punishment; but back of all the law is, or should be, the higher purpose of reformation.

you’d think if remus’ face was riddled with half a dozen scars, the rumour mill at hogwarts would’ve been churning nonstop, theories abound about the new prof being on the business end of wands in bar fights or having unfortunate run-ins with dangerous creatures in the wild. why, it’s obvious he’s penniless and winnings at underground duelling rings were the fastest shortcut, but he got beaten hollow repeatedly.
if remus was even slightly noticeably scarred, ron and harry wouldn’t have just left it at greying, shabby, and “looks like one good hex would finish him off”.
children are curious and brutally honest—trelawney resembles a shiny bug, dumbledore’s robes are one-of-a-kind, quirrel was a stuttering wimp, firenze may be a centaur but lavender doesn’t discriminate. tongues would’ve wagged if remus was walking about with mysterious scratches apparently impervious to magical healing. forget hermione, the non-muggleborns would’ve suspected and sounded the alarms within the first month.
#remus isn’t facially scarred canonically#imagine if he was sporting these sus looking scratches on top of missing classes bc of feeling poorly on specific days in the#marauders era#mwpp#would’ve barely been a secret with every other schoolmate making connections on their evidence cork boards#marauders#prisoner of azkaban#remus lupin#harry potter meta#harry potter

I understand why we don't talk much about the High Isle/LotB storyline (it's bad) but I am constantly haunted by the fact there's
Fantasy Australia that High King Emeric regularly sends prisoners to
The people in charge do magic to those prisoners so they'll EXPLODE if they try to leave, and
Emeric isn't entirely sure at first that he didn't accidentally send you, his buddy, to the Exploding Prisoners Island
Between this and the prologue kinda sorta mostly implying he was gonna cheat on his wife (???? Known wife guy from the base game???? Greatest fear is his wife not loving him????) with Lady Arabelle "how dare you accuse me of writing the investigator vale books" Davaux... someone on the writing team really did not like Emeric akgjajfjaj
#oh amenos you are so so fucked up. why did we not dwell more on the exploding prisoners Island#ALSO THE EXPLODING PRISONERS ISLAND HAS A SUBSECTION FOR PEOPLE TO HUNT PRISONERS FOR SPORT#WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE OF HIGH ISLE#eso#elder scrolls online#m speaks#high king emeric

I personally think that sometimes people overcorrect on the “Kim isn’t a saint” argument or talk about him like he’s a static character, like the contradictions aren’t part of an ongoing arc. love 2 push Kim to interrogate his own flaws and beliefs more but I also think it’s obvious that he would rise to the challenge. some characters have such a glowing, radiant capacity for growth in them. the halo is real it’s just not about perfection it’s the overwhelming humanity
#I felt like kim had grown a lot by the end of the game when he asked if they could treat Dros as a POW and send him to PRoSamara#like here's this nasty old man whose been killing people for sport but kim is trying to find loopholes to put him somewhere he might belong#instead of just throwing him in prison#hes trying. hes trying to do better#kim kitsuragi

Does Heartstar/Tigerstar II have thalassophobia(fear of deep water/drowning) would certainly make sense given his family's entire Deal with the lake. Also does Rowanstar drowning in the Moonpool mean that there's just. A rotting corpse in the moonpool now? Don't the medcats drink from that water?! (Sorry if yiu see this twice! I think tumblr deleted my ask?
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The desire to CinemaSins Ding poetic imagery is the death of visual metaphor and the bane of creativity. Kill the impulse. The moonpool is as deep and clean as it needs to be in spite of being canonically a stillwater pool and logically full of algae and microbes. Magic cat god water, full of StarClan Magic (tm)
We do not need to see the cats fishing Rowanstar's body out, or an accurate estimate of pool depth, or its PH level. StarClan's emotions do wonderful things when miracles occur. A wizard with a big pool cleaning net did it.
#I get a ridiculous number of asks about this and the answer is always the same so I've started deleting them#Why don't they fly the eagles to Mordor? Same reason Barbie must travel to the Real World in her sports car#It is the journey#as for thalassophobia no she doesn't have that. Sometimes I get questions for like... situations where the answer is simply no gfgfdsgfd#And I'd feel bad answering with a flat “no” or writing out a bunch of paragraphs that soften the no#SO generally I simply don't answer them either#I think it'd be cool for Flametail's spirit or Jayfeather to fear drowning though#Especially since Flame was denied his Sharing of Stars for a long time because the Dark Forest got him first#So the poor baby was like#soaked with ice water for several months#In a cell where the demons kept him prisoner#LITERALLY the wet beast#bone babble

Is it crazy to say that I love when Formula 1 teams push the boundaries of what's acceptable? Love the concept of taking out your rival because it's better both of you score zero points than him scoring more than you. Love the concept of ruining your main competitor's race because if neither of you can win this time, it's still important to come out with more points than him, even just by one. Love the concept of engineers finding loopholes in the rules, skirting at the edges of illegality until the Powers That Be catch on and tighten the language of the rules. Love the concept of snitching on your rivals and causing them to get penalties that set them back in the race, because this war is fought on multiple fronts and he who's not paying attention to all of them is bound to lose out. Isn't being ruthless and cunning what this whole sport is about?
#mine: text post#formula 1#post brought to you by me watching a bunch of those extended highlights from old races on the f1 youtube channel#and being thoroughly entertained by the amount of crashes#let me be very clear about this: i do *not* want to see a driver die on the track. nor get seriously injured or ill#and i *do* think sporting regulations should be strict and well written so that people don't get the opportunity to legit kill each other#but when it comes to the competitors themselves i do want to see them take no prisoners. hold nothing back. that's umm the fun part??#(one of these days i'll be brave enough to rewatch austin 2024 and brazil 2024... it's just the mercedes of it all makes me too upset rn)#(i don't have a dog in these older fights so the fun is maximum)

there's like a litany in my head every time i know zverev's playing that goes "he should be in jail he should be in jail he should be in jail he should be in jail he should be in jail he should be in jail..."
#because you know. he should be in jail#i mean prison abolitionism is a good thing to strive for of course#but right now? he should be in jail. he should be facing consequences#and the thing is i never even watch him play it'd make me nauseous and i don't want to give him an audience#(i know 1 person not watching is not going to make any difference in the number of viewers his matches get which is surely big. but still)#but even just knowing he's playing rn makes me feel. idk. bad. like this unsettling feeling in my stomach#and i check his score hoping he loses but in my mind i'm screaming because WHY IS HE EVEN PLAYING. literally screaming in my mind#anyway. nothing i can do really but god. sometimes it really is hard to deal with the fact we have a known abuser playing at the highest#levels of the sport i love#for blacklist ->#alexander zverev
