Sepia drawing of the side of a pirate ship with the entire "Pittsburg" Pirates team scattered among the ship, hanging off the edge, in the sails, dangling off ropes, etc. Some famous names among them, including Honus Wagner. Name and position written next to each of them. Ship is bobbing in wavy water, some foam along the hull. Bottom right corner has block letters reading PITTSBURG PIRATES CHAMPIONS NATIONAL LEAGUE 1909. The players' bodies are drawn, but the heads are cut out from actual photos and most have drawn bandanas on top. They look like bobbleheads. There is a large head floating in the waves, eyes covered with a bandana. It appears to be Frank Chance, the Chicago Cubs player manager. The Cubs finished second in the NL. On the plank is, I believe, New York Giants manager John McGraw, his eyes covered and arms tied behind his back. The Giants finished a distant third. #sportshistory #archives #mlb
Hand drawn diagram of a level from the NES Castlevania game. It stretches across two pages of a book and shows the path of our hero through the castle and landscape, which have been sliced open to show each of the individual rooms/screens. All around the illustration are inset boxes with various comments and tips about different parts of the castle. Some examples include: "C - Simon can't be knocked off stairs. This can be useful during crow attacks" accompanied by a illustration showing a grimacing Simon beseiged by two bats. "7 - KNEEL!" accompanied by an illustration showing blocks and a staircase with an downward arrow above one of the blocks. Also has circle icons showing creatures like mummies and food items with a line pointing to where they are located on the map. It was colored with markers, not fancy ones, but rather the cheap ones we used as kids that easily left behind overlapping marks and never colored evenly. Makes the whole thing look charming and 1000000% miles away from AI.
The senior fits the gunslinging mold and is sometimes too aggressive for his own good, as evidenced by a 4.8% pickable pass rate that translated to a whopping 23 pickable balls last year. According to Opta data, he was fortunate to “only” throw 11 interceptions. That might seem contradictory with the well-thrown ball rate, but what it really says about Raynor is that he is either extremely sharp or downright destructive to his team’s chances.

Black and white photo showing nine college students wearing dark long sleeve shirts and light pants. They are sitting in three rows around James Naismith, who is wearing a three piece suit, in the middle. Eight out of the ten men have full mustaches. Some are looking directly at the camera while others look off to the side (which was the convention at the time). The student next to Naismith is holding a basketball, which is a leather ball with seams sticking outward. On both sides there appear to be metal baskets, about two feet high, which I assume are the peach baskets famously used in the earliest games. Original caption: Dr. James Naismith (Wearing Suit), a Springfield College instructor and basketball’s inventor. He is with the “First Team”. The first game was played in 1891 in fulfillment of an assignment given to Naismith to create a game that could be played indoors between the football and baseball seasons, Source: Springfield College.

WR Omari Hayes, Iowa State. There are lots of proven QBs in this league, and the portal evidently brought lots of exciting receivers as well. Typically, anything above 2.0 yards per route is a good average; Hayes averaged 3.0 last season at Tulane. He averaged 13.2 yards per catch despite primarily running shorter routes, and he didn't suffer his first drop of the season until the American Conference title game.
Four versions of the cursive AMAZONIA logo, which is a twisting logo that meanders across the screen. The captial A is formed by a river curve with an island in the middle. The m is formed by three tight curves. The z is the largest letter anchoring the middle, a giant swoop that looks like a large 2 or backwards S. The o is similar to the A, except with two islands in the middle forming a circle. The n is like the m, several tight curves. The i is a very sharp vertical curve very close together that looks similar to a cursive i. The four different versions have the same logo, but are surrounded by different art and designs and bright colors, each by a different artist. One has indigenous geometric vibes. Another is plant and animal oriented. Last two are a mixture of people, plants, food.
Stop motion animation set showing four minature armatures of Green Bay Packers players in a typical sports bar/gathering space. The players which include Jordan Love and Micah Parsons are wearing their jerseys and casual pants/shoes. Parsons is in a mobile scooter. The set is perhaps 3 feet by 3 feet, a DSLR camera on a tripot pointed towards the set and various clamps, wires, microphones and lights are attached to poles out of sight of the camera. It's very charming and real.
"God of Homers" suddenly becomes just a mere mortal By Ed Hinton Staff Writer Bob Horner, his early home run pace long cooled in Japan's Central League, has settled into mere-mortal status in the eyes of fans who earlier this season called him "the god of homers." "It's basically just a season how," Horner, formerly of the Atlanta Braves, said from his Tokyo apartment. "Travel and play, travel and play." After hitting six home runs in his first six games with the Tokyo based Yakult Swallos, Horner now only has 16 home runs in 43 games, and those numbers won't change for at least a week. Horner, often criticized for his injury proneness with the Braves, pulled a muscle in his back on Saturday while swining at a pitch and will be sidelined for 7 to 10 days, team officials said. This is Horner's first injury of the season. But already gone was the early-season Japanese media ballyhoo speculating he would hit 100 home runs, obliterating Sadaharu Oh's single-season record of 55, due partly to the shorter fences in Japanese ballparks. Horner, batting .321, is no longer among league leaders in any offensive categories. He is 9th in home runs. Two American players, Randy Bass and Rich Lancelloti, lead in homers with 24 and 23. Two other Americans, Carlos Ponce (19) and Warren Cromartie (18) - also have more. Hiromitsu Ochiai, the Japanese slugger who vowed not to lose the triple crown to Bass this year but doubted he could outdo Horner, has 20 homers. Last month, Horner said, he saw further evidence that no foreign player is going to be allowed to break an Oh record in Japan. "Lancelloti had homered in seven straight games coming into a game against our team," Horner said. "The Japanese record, held by Oh, is eight straight games. Our pitchers walked Lancelloti four times in the game." After his big start, Horner began to see ultra-cautious pitching and simply couldn't get anything to hit.
Newspaper article from The Times-Union, Tuesday, Sep 08, 1987: Don't be surprised if ex-Atlanta Braves slugger Bob Horner plays at least another summer in Japan. In addition to his $2-million salary, he recently set a Japanese baseball endorsement record by making a commercial for Suntory Beer for $350,000. The previous record was the $200,000 Randy Bass received frrom [sic] Gillette in 1986 for shaving off his beard on Japanese network TV.

On Saturday, the 30th of September, the match game of foot ball between Hamline and the University, instead of being postponed, as your correspondent incorrectly stated, was played. The game was to be three-quarters of an hour long, but the Hamline boys got beat twice in half an hour and concluded not to finish. Who wants to try it next?

Black and white photo of a ski jumper floating mid-jump on their way down the ramp. He is standing straight up, arms thrust downward, skis pointed up at a 45 degree angle. Dark uniform in, I'm guessing, natural fabrics. At the bottom we can see the narrow landing area of snow, surrounded by grass. Off in the misty distance is Field Museum, since the stadium wasn't bowled in at this time. A portion of the Soldier Field stands are visible on the right. On the left is a gaggle of reporters and observers on top of a tower watching. Photo caption: Soldier Field hosted its first Chicago ski tournament in 1936. For that event, a 13-story tall ski jump was constructed, the world’s tallest manmade ski jump at the time. This was increased to 180 feet for the 1937 and 1938 competitions.

Snippet of attached story reads: The peak of this banal nightmare arrived only recently when Sam Altman, the serene architect of our contemporary algorithmic enclosure, sat across from Fallon to discuss the most intimate of human labors: the rearing of a child, and how he simply couldn’t imagine raising his newborn baby without the “help” of ChatGPT. With the flat, bloodless affect of a man who has already priced in the end of the world, Altman described using ChatGPT as a parental surrogate. Unlike with Hilton, here the audience is deathly quiet. As Altman offers up the future of his own offspring to the black box of his company’s large language model, Fallon’s grin never wavers. It is the ultimate Gothic inversion: the living child is transformed into a data set to be optimized, while the host performs a pantomime of joy to mask the sound of a tomb clicking shut.

1922 Davidson College football game photo facing the field from the middle of the endzone. There is a massive tree on a tiny hill in the endzone taking up a good chunk of it. The beginning of the hill starts roughly near the goal post and stretches towards the sideline, quick estimate is perhaps 30 feet across. There's even a little staircase of 5 steps up the hill. As was the practice in that era, the goalpost is on the end zone line, not at the back. Majority of players are seen through the goal post in the middle of a play that appears to be a drop kick. A ref wearing a white longsleeve shirt and dark pants is staring intently at the players. Behind the offensive players are two men wearing suits, not clear what they're doing there. A small crowd of people is standing all around the field.

Screenshot of 2002 March Madness Elite Eight game between Michigan State and Iowa State. Score is ISU - 61, MSU - 60. Two refs in bottom corner are in the middle of a disagreement, one is showing the charge signal, the other is showing the block signal. (The ISU player was scoring a layup when the MSU player moved underneath him while the ISU player was in the air.) The refs decided the solution was to keep both a charge and a block as the called fouls, which meant the ISU player fouled out and ISU had to replace him with an oompa loompa with no jumpshot)
Screenshot from stop motion trailer showing a costume storefront with three Halloween outfits in the front window, a vampire, mummy, and death itself.

Hanging next to the front door is a small human skeleton. On the sidewalk is a man that just fell from a ladder. His face is covered by a red banner he was trying to hang up. One arm is thrust upward in pain. Next to him is a plump old lady with a startled expression. The remaining hanging banner has nearly fallen off, but only the letters OW are still visible.
At the same time, you just gotta make it true, man. Take a filmmaker like Bong [Joon Ho]. I’ll argue that Parasite is his most Korean movie. It’s the one that connected with global audiences. In this day and age, everybody on the same Internet, we’re so connected that I think it’s almost more important to make it as specific as possible, and make sure that you have a diverse group of filmmakers on it, so that if something pops up somebody can say something. Because English is his second language, Sev is great at being in the mix and saying, “I don’t know if I understand that.” And it’s like, “All right, how can we get this more clear?” Zinzi was a full time ASL sign language interpreter. She’s got hard-of-hearing family members. So, for her it’s advocacy to make sure that we put in closed captions in cinemas. Listening to the dubs, the translations, supervising the subtitles, we’re all over that.

Black and white photo by Frank Matsura: Four Indigenous women, including Josephine Carden and Camille Marchand, and a baby pose on horseback in front of Okanogan’s Bureau Hotel, circa 1909. The four dark horses are lined up in a row and a large dark dog stands sideways in front. The four women all have their lips tightly pressed together, some with a hint of amusement, while others look serious and prideful. They are wearing a mix of Victorian clothing and indigenous pieces. The two women on both ends appear to be teenagers. The women on the third horse from the left is holding the baby in front. They look strong, confident, very comfortable on the horses. The hotel is three stories. The first two stories have a wrap around porch with thin columns and a railing composed of many vertical pieces of wood. This fencing design is somewhat echoed on the ceiling of the second floor porch. The third floor has a series of gabled dormer windows. In the middle of the front facade is a tower that appears to stretch for four floors and may be a clock tower, although the top portion appears to be under construction still.
Early 1990s Nitro Ball game poster illustration (game was named Gun Ball in this art). Two cartoonishly muscular white military men with guns are shooting towards us and a gathered group of villains at the forefront of the poster including a vampire, muscular armored creature with a retro white hockey goalie mask, and a blue alien with gaping maw full of jagged teeth. The top has the GUN BALL logo with the capital G much bigger than the remaining letters and two thick white horizonal lines stretching from the G above and below the UN BALL. Pink background, green field that resembles a football field. Mixture of Japanese and English writing. Slogan is "Survive each hair-raising world to become the Master of the Playfield!" Bottom is the DATA EAST CORPORATION logo, which is white caps DECO letters in a red rectangle.
“I cannot understand why you hope for a quick end of the war. Unless we take the horror of battle to Germany itself, unless we fight in their villages, blowing up their houses, smashing open their wine cellars, killing some of their livestock for food, unless we litter their streets with horribly rotten German corpses as was done in France, the Germans will prepare for war, unmindful of its horrors. Defeat must be brought into Germany itself before this mess can come to a proper end; a quick victory now, a sudden collapse, will leave the countryside relatively intact and the people thirsty for revenge. I want the war to end as quickly as anybody wishes, but I don't want the nucleus of another war left whole.” Via Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose
Color cartoon illustration of Bubsy, a humanoid orange bobcat, running through a space scene cradling a ball of yarn under his right arm with his left arm thrust outward kinda like the heisman. He has a large smile with a solid block of white teeth, one eye is closed in a wink and the other looks straight at us. He is wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a giant red exclamation point on his chest. Behind him are floating orange aliens with drooping cheek jowels, tiny necks, and bulbous bodies. They have three antennas, red noses and quizzical expressions. Balls of yarn, red and green, float in the air as mini planets and also serve as the top of floating silver saucers. A sparkling dark galaxy is in the distance. In the top left corner is a white duck, wings flapping to keep up with Bubsy. The duck is wearing an old timey aviator helmet with googles. Very colorful illustration.
Two DHS agents in full tactical gear stand menacingly in the steet in front of a gathered crowd of concerned citizens that are facing them while standing on the sidewalk corner. Our eye is drawn to the young white woman in the middle, who is wearing only a light green bathrobe and gray slippers, although it is a cold winter day in St. Paul. She is filming them with her phone with a determined look on her face. Around her are other men and women, all wearing winter coats. Some are filming the agents or the incident behind them with their phones, others are just watching, they look like normal people with soft fabrics, water bottles, fuzzy stocking caps, concerned looks. Another white woman on the left edge of the photo is wearing a neon green vest on top of her winter coat and her mouth is agape in horror as she films the unseen incident in the intersection. The two agents are closer to the camera and the left one is standing away from us facing the crowd so we can only see his backside, while the right one is standing perpendicular facing the other agent, so we can see his entire left side and his face covered by a black mask. The agents are wearing all kinds of military gear, camo, olive fabric, tactical bulletproof fests, helmets, cameras, guns, cargo pants, pepper spray. Yet another image showing the stark difference between brave people with no protection standing tall against armored militarized cowards. A bathrobe vs bullets.

Shirt graphic showing Iowa State's bird mascot Cy breaking through metal bars with the slogan BEWARE OF CYCLONES. He is looking straight at us with an angry expression, teeth clenched. One foot is stretched straight towards us as he steps across the threshold of the window. His arms are pulling apart two center metal bars to admit his full body. On the edges of the opening are indications of brick. Above Cy it says BEWARE OF in black caps letter, then below graphic it says CYCLONES in red caps letters. Font is a stencil-type kind. To the right of Cy, on our left, is a cursive Iowa State logo with Iowa stacked on top of State and a trailing line underlining State. Looks like a Baseball style logo.

Iowa State College Varsity Football Squad, 1914 team photo in black and white glued onto a dark brown piece of paper that has the players labeled in black type. Nile Kinnick is in the front row, eighth from left, stern expression on his face. In this particular auction photo but not the actual item, players are blurry. They are all wearing dark wool jerseys with leather or canvas elbow pads. Dark brown canvas pants. Entire front row is kneeling upright with arms crossed. Back row is all standing. One of the players in the back row looks really tall, but no idea what size. Behind them is a portion of State Gym with many windows, some arched and some rectangle, and some are open. Listed players are labeled with just one letter for their position, but I'll spell it out here. Important to note that in this era, players went both ways and an "end" would've been the equivalent of a wide receiver and cornerback. A center would've been the equivalent of a center on the offensive line and a middle linebacker on defense. Halfbacks were usually safeties and linebackers on defense and running backs on offense Back Row - Jones, end; Moss, quarterback; Mattison, tackle; Eder, guard, J. Evans, halfback; Cramer, end; Delike, guard; John, center; McKinley, guard; W. Evans, guard; Karr, guard; Bird, quarterback; Beck, center; Harrison, fullback; Packer, center; Van Maur, fullback; Allen, guard; Delaney, halfback.

Square color painting of a pickup basketball game showing a male player in mid-dunk while being contested by three leaping players. Perspective is from free throw line looking towards the basket. We can't see the court, only 7 players, 5 black, 2 white, from the knee up. Most of the perforated silver metal backboard, no net, is visible. Behind is a chainlink fence lined by green foliage. Off in the distance, obscured by the backboard, is a red brick building that appears to be an urban high rise, so it appears this painting is at a city park. Their clothing and hair styles suggest the 1970s era. The painting doesn't show much of either side of the group of players, very focused on the central action. On the extreme right edge of the image on fence is the edge of a rectangle sign with black type in 3 lines. Top line only has the letter N visible, middle line has the letters DU visible, bottom line has the letters AL visible. It's clear the sign says NO DUNKING ALLOWED. As is Kadir Nelson's dramatic style, players have elongated exaggerated limbs, with long fingers. The 3 leaping black defenders are all wearing colorful shirts and very short shorts with a single thin side stripe along with knee high striped socks and low top converse type sneakers. Left leaper is in white shirt, gray shorts, middle leaper is in purple shirt, blue shorts, right leaper is in yellow shirt, green shorts. In the middle, powerful arms cocked behind his head holding a basketball is a shirtless black man in red shorts, 3 thin white stripes on side, white crew socks and low tops. His muscular legs are bent backwards and you can just feel the immense dunk coming. Three men are on the ground, 1 shirt, 2 shirtless, arranged in a triangle around the leapers. They all look up in awe, arms bent at sides. Two white men facing us have long sideburns, shirtless one has red headband, cutoff jean shirts. Closest player has back turned, arms splayed out, sweat glistening on his muscular black body
blurry zoomed in screenshot of bulldog's face looking surprised, eyes wide open, mouth shut It comes from a video that somehow shows a bulldog sitting upright and apparently driving a car with a white man sitting in the passenger seat. The camera view is set to the side and behind the wheel, roughly where the left side mirror is. We see just a portion of the steering wheel and the bulldog, which has a tan face and white snout. One fat paw is holding the left side of the steering wheel. They are looking straight ahead with a neutral expression. The man is wearing hoodie and holding a coffee bottle. A few seconds into the video, the car hits something and veers a bit to the side. The man's coffee lid pops open and coffee spills onto his front. The bulldog tilts to his side with the surprised expression.

Agamemnon laying the Atlantic Cable in 1858, a Whale crosses the line" MIT museum description: Black and white print depicts a view of the Agamemnon, a second-rate ship of the line, while laying a telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean. The paying-out machinery used to lay the cable is visible on a temporary structure that has been added to the ship. A fender encircles the stern to prevent the cable from becoming entangled with the ship's propeller. Smoke can be seen pouring from the ship's funnel. A whale is crossing over the cable, and the ship's crew is gathered on the top deck to watch.
But Cando ran into a surprising stumbling block: the models couldn’t consistently and correctly summarize the Canadian Rail Operating Rules, a roughly 100-page document that lays out the safety standards for the industry. Sometimes the models forgot or misinterpreted the rules; other times they invented them from whole cloth. AI researchers say models often struggle to recall what appears in the middle of a long document.
1923 Oorang Indians team photo with three rows of indigenous players, 17 in total, wearing uniforms and posing on a grass field. Bottom right has a handwritten inscription: (copyright symbol) 1923 Photo by ADAM BAUER MARION, O. Their matching dark wool jerseys have two oval friction shapes on each side of their chest, meant for holding the football more securely, and in the middle is a small monogram of an O and I on top of each other. They all look pretty burly and have short hair. Many players have their arms crossed or behind their backs. While some look slightly bemused, none are smiling enough to show any teeth. Front row has five players sitting with crossed legs. A bulbous football rests in front of the middle player. Wrinkle Meat is on the far left. His arms are tightly crossed, head tilted, mouth slightly open. He has a hint of a faraway look. Center row has six players kneeling, all with arms crossed. Back row has six players standing.

Killyan Toure, G, Iowa State Previous rank: NR Biggest performance so far: 19 points, 6 assists, 3 steals vs. Syracuse in Las Vegas on Nov. 26 There might not have been a freshman who boosted his stock more in Las Vegas than Toure, who stepped up following Tamin Lipsey's injury in the Cyclones' Players Era opener against St. John's. Toure went for a season-high 20 points in a win over Creighton the next day, followed immediately by 19 points, 6 assists and 3 steals in a win over Syracuse. He was averaging just 8.6 points entering those two tilts, but growing confidence in his offensive role combined with his physical tools and two-way ability make it clear that T.J. Otzelberger has another emerging star on his hands. -- Borzello
The Commission, however, heard about two troubling incidents second- hand. An athletic administrator recalled a conversation he had with a former Maryland assistant coach who had left Maryland. When the high school administrator asked why the coach left Maryland, that coach responded he had to “get out of there because the verbal abuse of players was worse than at any other place he had been.” According to this administrator, a coach at a peer high school told him that the Maryland football program had a culture problem and was abusive to the players. This statement by the high school coach was made prior to the August 10, 2018 ESPN article.

Nintendo was the north star for Yacht Club, whose founders viewed Shovel Knight as their version of Super Mario Bros. Next, they wanted a Zelda. It turned out that Alec Faulkner, a designer at Yacht Club, had been moonlighting on a prototype for such a project, an adventure game starring a cartoon mouse named Mina who could leap into the air and then burrow underground to solve puzzles and attack enemies. Faulkner began to wonder if his hobby project could turn into something bigger. In fall 2019, as the company was wrapping up work on the final Shovel Knight expansion, he proposed that the studio take his prototype and turn it into Yacht Club’s next game. The founders were into it. “Some level of arrogance, I think, is required to do this job,” says Faulkner, who started as an intern in 2016 after impressing the higher-ups with artwork he made of Shovel Knight as a Game Boy game. “That’s the same part of my brain that says, ‘I could do a Zelda.’”
Orange sheen photo of Joe Henderson, a black person sitting on a weight lifting bench and facing the camera with an intense glare. He is extremely sweaty and has massive muscles with bulging biceps, huge neck/shoulders, and looks like he would be absolutely terrifying to tackle. He's holding two dumbbells, wearing a yellow tank top with the '80s Cyclone tornado logo topped by the semi-cursive Iowa State script. Just a little bit of his red shorts are visible. Around his massive tree trunk neck are three thick gold chains. I would quit the football team if I saw him running towards me As seen here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306632747095
1928 photo of a department store window showing, I believe, two mannequins in a chic living room surrounded by the latest in electronics including a phonograph, radio, phone, etc. An adult woman sits in a upholstered chair, clasped hands on crossed legs. A large flower arrangement is on a side table. A young girl in a dress is facing a radio or phonograph of some sort and fiddling with the dial. The living room is grand, tall lush wooden walls, large rug, fancy stuff.
Chronophoto website home page A large black and white photo of unknown age shows several people shoveling debris including dirt and stone off of small flatbed railcars. The railcars are relatively small compared to typical railroad cars, about the size of an automobile. The railroad is set at the base of a hill, which we can see stretching up and away in the distance. There is a man wearing what appears to be a suit with a conductor hat and pocket watch strolling along the cars. At the top of the photo box there is a SETTINGS button on the left, ROUND 1 OF 5 written in the middle, and a STATISTICS button on the right. Below this photo the caption reads: What year was this photo taken? There is a long bar that looks like a ruler with a year range between 1900 and 2025. There is a small square slider that you can move in either direction to pick the specific year. The default year set is 1960. Below this is a SUBMIT button. While some photos are in color, the website is a very light gray background with a small black navigation bar at top. Pretty minimal and puts the focus on the photo.
