This guy’s an idiot, but I do think it’s interesting to ask if a MLB player could hit one home run in 100 pitches off him. He’s not immune to the third time through the order penalty, even if it’s slight. What would happen if a respectable big leaguer got to see a full game’s worth of pitches?

What I find to be uncomfortable is how Chinamaxxing doesn't treat the country as a real place with real problems, it's somewhere that is everything your country isn't

Heat

A roll of toilet paper that is just printed David Brooks columns

Midwit remains a phrase that says more about the person saying it than their intended target

Yeah this seems like hell but I do think one thing that we struggle with is that things like a 1:1:1 ratio of chain restaurants exist because there’s a lot of people who actually want to live that lifestyle. I find it hard to understand!

Oh so he’s mega fucked

Every day we move closer to the scandal that will start the push to recriminalize sports gambling

Fun fact: The Elvis impersonator who was arrested for sending ricin to Obama often recommended my work on Facebook. Fortunately (for me!), he was innocent. A different Elvis impersonator sent the ricin to frame the innocent Elvis impersonator b/c the latter falsely claimed to be a member of Mensa.

Very pleased to make my debut in @foreignpolicy.com talking about Chinamaxxing and how it represents China adopting Dubai's soft power model, and what the (very Western) phenomenon misses about China

“Clean meat enthusiast” is one of those phrases that doesn’t make any sense until you remember that we’re in an era where you can have anything you’re uncomfortable with about yourself validated by a talking head on your phone

Grassley warned last year in a floor speech - before the Iran war and the subsequent diesel and fertilizer price shock - that U.S. could see a wave of farmer suicides not seen since the 1980s.

Everyone to my left is a tankie and everyone to my right is a shitlib and they all have me on a list doing the same thing

Another great meal at Cafe Kestrel in Red Hook last night

Ball room is a bipartisan preoccupation, as we know from recordings of LBJ's calls to his tailor

If only someone had made a TV show about what happens if most of the government is killed in an attack

This isn't true, Portuguese food is actually bad. Centuries of empire only to keep eating fucking cod and bland pork.

A theory: The ballroom is a glonzo for Trump specifically and everyone would do well to fight it just to keep him distracted for as long as possible and minimize the damage he can do by shifting his gaze elsewhere

I've been saying for years that Dems need to know how to work the refs and not think they're above doing so. It's actually a key skill for the position.

You aren’t going to be able to predict what this is in response to

One of the difficulties that allies of the President find themselves in trying to respond whenever there’s an assassination attempt is that the President is in what Simpsologists call “a real Who Shot Mr. Burns scenario”, that makes quickly ascertaining motive and affiliation difficult

You have to learn how to modulate your voice, both online and off. If everything is set to 100%, you’re robbing yourself of the ability to underline when something is actually important.

$20 a hour removing malware from everyone in town’s personal Gateway and Dell PCs via word of mouth in the 2000s. It’s a big piece of why I am delighted by the walled gardens that have sprung up around mobile devices. Grandma’s not getting Bonzai Buddy on her iPad.

I am tired of the mid-2020s Eternal Forum War

Man, so much of the conservative response to last night is so clearly motivated by them wrestling with how, if it happened, way more of the response would be relief instead of the mourning they want

There was an entire crust pink jug band on my R train just now. Every one of them had a dog.

She Will Have Her Way is Neil Finn doing Britpop send post

The fuel crisis feels very real in Australasia. Regular public service announcements about conserving fuel from the Australian government. Pacific Island ministers have cancelled travel, as they're under travel bans. Pacific activists talking about price increases for everything

This is bad but I’m happy that everyone is getting paid for it :)

please do not commit any federal crimes that would lead me to feeling a deep sense of embarrassment after finding out you read my posts

Most prestige TV post 2014 or so would be better off as a made for TV movie instead of forcing the story to fit in episodic format

Here lies the Mets They never scored

This is how they respond to literally everything though, at some point it just becomes background noise because there isn't actually any way to escalate it any further.

Ole and Lena get married in Wilmar and are driving up to Sauk Rapids for their honeymoon. Ole puts his hand on Lena’s leg, and she says “you know Ole, we’re married now. You can go further”, so Ole drives all the way to Duluth

You know, for as much as we’re talking about the shooters Bluesky account, I read his manifesto and I would be way more interested in seeing what his Reddit account looks like

My polite and effective way of saying this is this screenshot and a heavy handed but gentle stare at…quite a few of you.

The URCNA is, along with the OPC, one of my enduring fascinations because it is pretty much just cosplaying the Synod of Dordt in Southern California. So Crusades rhetoric blended modern conservative Fox News–style rage. It's a really weird environment and has produced some weird violence

i realized a long time ago that setting this video to the nfl primetime music would be the best thing i ever do on the internet i'm okay with that

This is an insane face to make in a commercial

The problem with the internet today is that nobody ever goes away, they just pivot to a new market. We’ll never be rid of Trevor Bauer, he’ll just keep playing worse competition to feed the content machine. He’s not a baseball player anymore, he’s a content creator.

Panicked posters: Trump is going to use this as a pretext to crack down on anyone to his left! Trump: I simply must be able to build the gaudiest ballroom anyone has ever seen. It is now a matter of national security.

The Mets are simply not a good baseball team I’m afraid

shooter reposting this is pretty funny

lmao at calling a guy who reposts stuff “an active online presence”

I don’t get being drunk at work. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where it has happened? It’s miserable! I had to teach a class of 60 kids after a baijiu lunch once and it did not go well.

Alright what was this guy’s account? I gotta see if a guy in the news knows who I am

The key for Nolan McLean in this game is to remember he’s pitching against the Rockies at home
