well now i have time to write my rebuttal to baseball and the american character

"But out here, on Sunday, October 2, where it rains all day, Dame Mutability never loses"

Well.

are we seeing duran in a sox uniform ever again?

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

flemming clearly thinks we're losing this lmao

being a red sox fan is about suffering. being a resident of the city of boston is about suffering.

i wasn't reckoning on a world series but i was praying not to crumble to the yankees like this

Crunchyroll is going to be using an Isreali AI to generate their subtitles. We can't have nothing. 😤

this man presumably has female students

it's always nice when your job lets you do a service for your community. for example, when people i know from high school get to say "some of the dumbest people i know have phds"

my experience of "life in america" is like, simmering, baleful, rage, kept barely managed by cheap halloween candy, and then shallow self recrimination when i remember the conditions of production for the cheap halloween candy. plus october baseball!

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

Let them rot imo

"duran has not had success" true "against Rodon" that too

Rest in peace to Jane Goodall, whose tireless advocacy for primates has brought us closer than ever to the Planet of the Apes becoming a terrifying reality

coming increasingly to the crank position that letting students chose their own topics is detrimental to engagement, because they pick stuff they think they already know or they think you want to hear (or that ai tells them is a good "paper topic for english")

Photos show the "thick"-armed animal discovered in a "very cold" stream.

WE WON: "This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall w/in..this district court squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in US..have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.”"

i don't think it means anything in particular that our big stars are flopping and the journeymen are generally doing well, but it is a narrative i love for boston

every time will says "bregman was brought here for this kind of moment" and then bregman strike out it feels brutal lmao

sockies game starts in like ten minutes, will i get any more work done today

Me and my partner need to make up $900 by the 5th, we got screwed by our roommate, we really don’t have a sudden place to go with 2 cats, if you can help in way I’d really appreciate it, linking Venmo down below

this and crochet pitching game one against the yankees

eating my arepa while waiting for the train now that's what i call platformization

not to be a cliche but if i stay in boston after this year i kinda wanna move out of allston.

there are so many acceptable teams to root for! for example, Boston, the Red Sox, the Boston Red Sox, Our Boys From Boston, The Roman Empire..... and, to a lesser extent, the brewers because it would be funny.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

re: lrt, genuinely think we should get comfortable with the difference between "poor" and "working class"

my students loved my story about debating politics in mutual-second-language french with a nice young lady doing cocaine in a belgian hostel

the difference is all of those would actually be useful.

maybe a bit of a take here but i think someone like Klein reflects on political positions as ideas not as aggregated needs from coalition partners. i think that can make sense for certain kinds of economic policy, but it's insane for dealing with the rights of minorities

Israeli forces today carried out an airstrike on a home in Al-Zawayda, central Gaza, killing Dr. Ismail Mansour Abu-Rkab, head of the Mental Health Department at Al-Aqsa Hospital, together with his wife Amani and their 16-year-old daughter Shaima. The Health Ministry has now recorded the killing…

For trans people, how much to compromise with people who want us dead is already answered by said people. For cis people the question is thus "who do you want to be in a room with, the Charlie Kirks of the world or us?" And if their genocide succeeds, the Ezra Kleins of the world will be why.

Two things that are worth thinking about here: 1) The fact that this conversation is only ever had among cis people. 2) The fact that Ezra Klein absolutely knows better than to ask Ta-Nahesi Coates the equivalent question about white supremacists.

Direct link to the IG post here. Hopefully this can help get Tucker in touch with the right person to shine a light on what ICE is doing to Barbara Marques www.instagram.com/tuckermaymys...

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

my friends are like "baseball is not homoerotic" and then marcello mayer and roman anthony do this

unfortunately the light verse poem casey at the bat captures the exact texture of watching baseball perfectly, such that i am forced to accord it the same respect more serious people have for emily dickinson's ability to convey death or whatever

tied going into the ninth i am contemplating the icy depths of the ocean

why were we asking the prison about that, npr? there's other sources for her age you weirdos

it's so funny when i remember that some of my mutuals on here are big accounts. like i'm logged on to Buddytopia the website where you riff with 15 guys you kind of know, and y'all are in the Posts Vortex where as many as some thousand strangers can get weird at you at any moment

i think the fear of being seen thing is actually /very/ reasonable, because when i told a buddy i wanted to see the new sad gay paul mescal movie but not for the gay sex, just for the smithsonian folksways ass recording plot, her response was a sigh so long and pronounced she had to catch her breath

revealing that you think everyone has department money to spend is so funny

make it stop
