This is the first good idea MLB has had in decades. If we are letting everyone in the playoffs, we don't need a long regular season. Should be even shorter; why not an even 100?

Crazy. I went the opposite direction and moved off of Apple hardware a couple of years ago and onto Framework machines running Bluefin Linux (projectbluefin.io). I really love being able to arbitrarily update laptop components on the Framework.

I've pretty much migrated over to Delta. United is much better than they used to be, as is American (haven't flown them much since I left baseball though).

This is really stupid, but the president has repeatedly claimed that Iran’s military capabilities were totally destroyed, so I feel obligated to rhetorically ask what the US is shooting at and retaliating to if Iran has no military anymore? Why does anyone indulges such transparent lies at all?
