If the Orioles load the bases on you with nobody out, you got them right where you want them

I am very glad that Orioles fans who were talking about extending Trevor Rogers, whose good season only happened in garbage time when games didn't matter, do not run the front office. I get it after the Angelos years, but this need for impatient extensionmaxxing before you know what you have is bad

Even people who went to school in South Carolina can see the math ain't mathing, so they simply recognized the dummymander when they saw one

Political correctness continues to reign. Say your piece with your full chest and don't walk it back if you're right only because you made some men very emotional

The way Democratic leadership still thinks it's 1998 should be studied. The Ribbon Cutter Caucus is just not built for the moment

This looks like a Pick Up Artist podcast discussing how embracing stoicism can make you better at making roofies at home

The 2018 Capitals who won the Stanley Cup were not the most talented Caps team ever assembled and not the most talented team in the NHL that year. The Lightning, whom they beat in the Eastern Conference Finals, were better But they were resilient. When you find a way again and again, you win rings

Mamdani gets it. You need to bring voters along with you with content that breaks through in this attention economy, connecting the dots explicitly to help them understand what you are doing, how it helps them, and how it fulfills a promise And you can add numbers and details. Give voters credit

"[Nicole] Sherry will become the assistant secretary of agriculture plant industries for the state of Maryland" Wow! Congratulations and best wishes to Nicole Sherry. The grass at Camden Yards is always beautiful

McConnell denied Garland a vote nine months out under the guise that there was an election soon and then jammed through Coney Barrett a week before Biden won. They have been flipping the bird to the concepts of norms and fairness for decades and the democrats have done jack shit to fight back.

It's nice to get a win of course, but the Orioles' proclivity for going over half the game hitless needs to stop. Someone needs to have the humility to try new things rather than just "trusting the process" so blindly that they refuse anything but brute forcing their way through it across regimes

As the Orioles are in the midst of yet another string of hitless innings, they're taking it to another level with consecutive strikeouts too The unwillingness of hitting coaches across regimes to advocate for trading optimal power swings for short stroke contact swings continues to haunt this team

When my boy and I get a little too ambitious on the dance floor at the wedding reception

Missing from this description is the Basallo "GTFOH with your bullshit" staredown

This word salad shows that Jay, to borrow from SNL, is the second Indian person ever to be bad at his job

It really is amazing what NFL fans settle for

That's Social Media Marketing 101. We know Republicans have dominated comms strategy forever. They have the funding to drive a strategy and build the infrastructure Lib billionaires donate to charity, containing the fallout from bad policy, rather than the pursuit of power to make good policy

Secretary Road Rules wanted to take a vacation but is scared to fly with the fam knowing how badly he has fumbled the FAA, so he decided on a road trip. Because he is very clever and the entire administration is a content farm for wannabe influencers, he also decided to film it That's what happened

Me volunteering to catch Félix Bautista rehab appearances ASAP

Dancing makes everything better

This shit looks like the pool at a Sheraton

Not even Rubio's wife has ever experienced Marcomentum

I still think Mayo will hit one day, but the Orioles running him up there game after game right now is a disservice to everyone. Going down to 0-2 AGAIN and then looking at a ball down the middle for Strike 3 with 2 outs and 2 runners on shows he isn't seeing the ball at all and is lost at the plate

If winter didn't exist, I would probably watch the Orioles lose from Chicago

Klob is exactly the kind of Democratic Party, 1998-ass Ribbon Cutter Caucus member I was talking about

It surprises me Whitbrook portrays killing off Din Djarin as a wild hypothetical. That struck me as likely from the moment they announced it. Not because of cynical fan dismay with Filoni. Death brings emotional stakes and puts a period on his story. Pascal ain't getting cheaper and might be over it

People are mad about this but I am kinda nostalgic for classic, garden variety corruption tbh

The arguments are all the same. For years. The new @washingtonpost.com could absolutely be replaced by AI. Or Ctrl-V

Secretary Road Rules strikes again

People often criticize Beltway Media for the privilege of covering politics like a horse race rather than meaningful, substantive influence on people's lives, often with life and death consequences, only to move on to their galas like the Correspondents Dinner @nytimes.com on the nose with this

What in the name of Hermes is this Sox logo?

To their credit, Republicans have always aggressively engaged in the pursuit and exercise of political power, whatever it takes, to see their vision come to pass. They've been wildly successful transforming the country This is the kind of opportunity that will demonstrate if Dems have caught on

Her posture and vertical are better than mine

on the topic of what is to be done in response to the Virginia Supreme Court, just noting that in response to a decision they didn't like, Utah Republicans packed the court, made a whole new lower court procedure for constitutional challenges, and then lawfared a justice into resigning

This is wild

Weird comment aside, Secretary Road Rules and his family know better than anyone that road trips make a lot of sense while he's in charge of flying

This really is terrifying, but I don't think centralization is the issue. Decentralization helps fault tolerance, but it's easier to secure one thing than many things. Canvas lacked the thoughtfulness and skill to secure one thing Failure to implement Zero Trust should be a crime for sensitive data

Happy centennial birthday to the GOAT David Attenborough

Behold this king

This remains the greatest thing I have ever seen

This is an earthquake

This reminds me of like 20 years ago when ISIS was doing terrible things in Iraq and Al-Qaeda was like "Yooo don't lump us in with those batshit motherfuckers"

Passwords had a good run but it's time

I hated banning the shift. I think legislating defense, especially to juice offense rather than to fix an actual problem, is a bad idea. I wouldn't impose a blitz cap on NFL defenses, and I'm glad you can play zone in the modern NBA Oh looky here it turns out banning the shift didn't improve things

By this logic, I am very HARD

The thing no one talks about because it's normalized is how clown shit, raw operational stupidity, has killed so many people

It amazes we still have to say this, but even liberals and Dems like Hillary thinking she ate with this in 2016 continue to get this wrong. Universal is key for two reasons: — To make the thing a right and avoid resentment — To avoid the cost of bureaucracy to adjudicate eligibility and find fraud

Experts? My dumb ass has been saying this since before AI. Around 2021 tech cos started being valued like traditional businesses. They had to show revenue and fix balance sheets. The cheat code to impress The Street is layoffs and buybacks Today they can use AI to cosplay innovation as the reason

They aren't shy about their excitement to run it back
