I'm a suspicious person, but this just reeks of scam: bsky.app/profile/roma...

Exhibit C: % of all fastballs >95mph and % of all fastballs in innings 1-3 > 95mph:

Graph showing % of fastballs > 95mph in innings 1-3 vs. all.

Exhibit B: % of all fastballs *in innings 1-3* that are over 95mph vs. batting average, 2008-2026:

Just FYI, I called out this account for acting like a provocateur. A quick look at their content and I was soooooo right (and so are they). They blocked me. I reported them.

This is what a nice color TV looked like in 1986:

I've learned that you can never replace a dog, but you can fill the dog-shaped hole in your life when the time is right. Kanga was the fourth Sammy I've had after Hercules, Cash, and Mattie. They were all terrific dogs and I miss them all terribly. 6/

She was a fine companion, and loved riding in the convertible with the wind blowing through her floof. Today I gave Kanga the last kindness I could and let her go. 4/

She got along with everybody, and drew attention everywhere we went. She was an accomplished thief, and thwarted several attempts at re-childproofing the kitchen cabinets where we kept sweet potatoes. Yes, that is half a watermelon she stole. 3/

Kanga the Samoyed with half a watermelon she filched and ate.

All but one had been placed, and she got in touch and asked if I wanted to adopt her. We traveled to Saco, Maine, where she was being boarded and brought her home. She was about 1 year old. 2/

Kanga came into my life on June 29, 2013. She left this afternoon. It was serendipity. Beverly Delaney knew I'd been without a dog for a while, and there was a litter of puppies that had been surrendered in a neglect case in New Hampshire to Samoyed rescue. 1/

We are finishing up our first week in Naples and Sorrento on a Road Scholar tour. We’ve been having a wonderful time and yesterday rented a Fiat and drove around the end of the peninsula (and lived to tell the tale).

Fox News didn't lose a broadcast license (which was your claim) partially because they have never had one. Cable channels don't. I'm not asking about individuals being fired, I'm asking about your specific claim that stations could lose their license for releasing "wrong info".

I grew up in NC and used to eat liver mush sandwiches on white bread with Duke's mayonnaise. Never tried cooking the stuff, though, and...yeah, I can easily believe it does. This is the stuff. It's as good as it looks awful.

Package of liver mush, a North Carolina....delicacy?

Yes. Yes, we do. We follow the law because we want a society that is governed by the rule of law. One does not defeat monsters by becoming a monster. Have you, by chance, seen A Man for All Seasons?

Exchange from A Man for All Seasons, with Thomas More saying "And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!"

Maybe it's my white privilege, but I never found "be an asshole then block people" to be a very effective form of rational argument.
