Today SABR launched an incredible new book and companion website on Baseball at Manzanar: How We Played the Game, 1942-1945. It’s the story of 120,000 Japanese Americans who were removed from their homes after Pearl Harbor and forced to live at remote incarceration camps: sabr.org/baseball-at-...

I keep thinking about this and Nikole Hannah-Jones' pieces and how all the pain and devil's bargains with modern K-12 schooling is all in service of sending kids to places like this. At every "elite" high school, this is the goal. For fucking what?

The Me Too Movement did not go nearly far enough. This behavior needs to be eradicated from society.

Take it from me, as someone who knows sports: no one travels to see the Atlanta Hawks. That’s just not happening.

This is 100% accurate though All sports are liberal, regardless of the opinions of individual athletes

“There are two kinds of people in New York: those who have room for books and those who have books. They don’t overlap.” Amazing and also true for wherever I live.

Just started watching LEWIS, which is fun, but then I looked up Laurence Fox and WOW is he a piece of work in a way few people are.

I don’t hate the Phillies. They’re not worth hate. At most, a kind of sad pity.

So the answer to “whatever you do, don’t talk about the economy” is probably not this, but I’m interested in seeing how it plays out, not going to lie.

So anyway I think becoming obsessed with the structure of Greek tragedies is a perfectly normal mod-life crisis behavior, thank you.

If you’re looking for good, solid hour and a half mysteries, I can wholeheartedly recommend GRACE, which has the startlingly original premise of being about a smart detective who is a good person and good at his job. No consultant, no quirks, just complex mysteries beautifully shot.

Comics, I contend, are one of the few pinnacle art forms which humanity has produced, a medium which truly allows for boundless creativity and expression. Of all of the many things AI does not belong in, AI does not belong in comics the most.

An interesting combination of shows I’ve never seen and shows you couldn’t force me to watch at gunpoint tbh (It will be a cold day in hell before I see a single second of Game of Thrones)

The continuing flood of evidence that these people are both very wrong and very stupid with regard to actual everything is spectacular to behold. It’s like watching a pig lagoon empty out: disgusting, but also awful on an existential level.

In spite of listening to a fair amount of Weezer it seems I have never heard this album because I just can’t do something normally I guess

Sure, sure, there’s no doubt that bad-mouthing supporters of the most hated and unpopular President in history will lose him votes. What are we even doing here?

I am not a Broadway producer, for which the world and myself are much poorer (I could have made Spidey work!), but the photos from this production alone smell of money in the bank.

The absolute repugnance of this aside, I would like to point out the absurd degree of teeing up which Hannity does for Darline Graham here.

This is about as on-brand for Republicans as it can get. See also Marshall and Tubberville, who so clearly detest the states they represent that they don’t even live there.

Having a bit of a week over here. Navigating the roiling swells of a turbulent sea as best I can. Anyhow, I’m thinking of actually doing a newsletter. Has this moment passed? Do I care if it has? Who can say?

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

One question about “AI” that I have never seen answered is what its use case is. What does an ordinary person actually need it for? “It’s not just an expensive slop machine” is belied by that being its main use. If not that, then what?
