Provided my quick thoughts on the Venezuela raid to @fpri.bsky.social

People should watch Altuve when he's on base or holding someone on 2nd. Opposing players always smiling and joking with him - he's adored by everyone who actually plays the game, other than the Yankees and Dodgers, entitled franchises known to be amongst the worst of the sign stealers in the 2010s

The major will be lecturing the generals on: - why company command is overrated - actually you don't need to try Ranger School as an infantry officer - Half a pushup is just as good as a full pushup

GWOT rotted the brains of not only a large number of people who participated in it, but also quite a few who didn't.

This fits.

BRING HIM HOME, JIM CRANE

Only one quality team in Texas and it ain’t in Arlington

For the haters.

Rob Manfred: not just a shitty commissioner, also a shitty human being

These assholes are all 31:00 5K guys

Luhnow was hung out to dry after a deal between Manfred and Jim Crane to find a scape goat.The sign stealing was being done by Cora and Beltran, and Cora has been completely forgiven for some unknown reason. It’s important to realize who was responsible for what.

Add a 2-4 day with another HR and another 2 RBIs

He’s been doing this for 5 seasons now since the “scandal” became news. Hears the most vile crap imaginable, and still hits on the road like the HOFer he is. One of the best to ever play the game, no matter what the QAnon “he was wearing a wire” crybabies in NY and LA say.

Your updates on this clown are sometimes the only good news I see on here all day.

One of the best out there, and was incredibly gracious with her time when I asked for help integrating ethics into the curriculum for our senior Army ROTC cadets.

Rob Manfred and Jamboi. Of course.

Goddammit

@chandlerrome.bsky.social called this series for Altuve.

Carlos Correa getting his rib broken by an in-house masseuse.

Manfred has to be the shittiest commissioner in the history of baseball and that takes some effort.

Infantry officer who never found his way to Ranger School, but sure.

Hell yeah it's baseball season

Uecker is dead. No tribute can do him justice. He lived a long life, and was himself to the end. He went like I think he wished to go; quietly, without distraction to the team. But I want to offer some thoughts in what is a very upsetting time for many people.

Merry Christmas!

3:07:06. First PR in the marathon since 2019, and it was a big one - took 5:23 off my previous best. Shout out to @strengthrunning.bsky.social (Jason) for a shit hot train up!

Jason is one of the best coaches and running minds out there! His coaching plans have gotten me to multiple PRs (in my 40s!) and his pod provides great deep dives into all aspects of running. Glad to see him on Bluesky - give him a follow and check out his pod!

My quick take on the RS-26 strike and what I think it means for the future of European security :: open.substack.com/pub/behindth...

Started this year with two running goals. The first was to run the year in miles (2024). Eclipsed that mark this week. The second we’ll try to take care of in two weeks out in Sacramento. For now, beer and pizza to celebrate the end of another training cycle, and a two week taper into race day.
