Lots of talk recently about MLB doing an expansion / realignment on teams. So I made an interactive tool to compare different expansion options. j-r-r-o.github.io/MLB-Expansio...

MLB expansion sandbox

37 candidate markets scored and ranked, plus six realignment drafts from 32 to 50 teams.

I built a cool baseball website this week: j-r-r-o.github.io/MLB-Player-L... Lets me check fWAR and bWAR on the same page, along with lots of other quick lookup stuff. It will prob save me an avg of 30 seconds a day during baseball season, so totally reasonable to spend 6 hours making it LOL

re: crisis of masculinity in Dem politics, I'll note that a time-tested way to look attractive, masculine and manly even if you have kind of an objectively normal or even kinda old or dumpy body is to wear a suit and tie all the time.

Get rid of your imposter syndrome (which tends to afflict smart people more than dumb people anyway). NO ONE is a "real expert." You have every right to be there. And you can make an enormous difference if you're in the room at the right time. Get involved. Participate. You can matter.

General Polyamory discourse really fails to account for how spreading specialized skills throughout the extended network is so delightful. My metamour is a chef at a Michelin starred restaurant and he sometimes makes me breakfast in bed on the weekends, just as a way to be sweet and supportive.

A lot of people have already died because of the Iran war. But way way way way more will die from the environmental fallout. And that’s not even accounting for the burning oil fields and sunken tankers. But maybe, just maybe, this leads to rapid solar adoption or something. 3rd order effects?

Do we think any meaningful portion of the gulf countries are updating their priors on Trump right now? Like maybe his ability to be bought is not worth the other disasters? Or are they excited about the high oil more than the bombs? Genuine question.

most hilarious wiki factoid in my brain: William of Ockham is not a catholic saint even though The Church has repeatedly attempted to canonize him. (The committee evaluating his miracles has always used Occam’s Razor to assume he didn’t *really* do the magic stuff).

If the NYT quoted Trump as they quoted AOC it would be: "Uh, numerous countries have told me they're on the way, uh, some are very enthusiastic about it, and some aren't. Some are countries that we've helped for many, many years, uh,"... (cont.)

From that recent NY Mag article on women in MAGA. Personal reflection: it was so strange to watch this play out in real time because — simultaneously — these were the years when Handmaid’s Tale was winning Emmy’s and filling up cultural zeitgeist space. A subculture can shift that fast!

Wait, but the obvious conclusion here is that Trump’s handlers have realized they can straight up lie to him and tell him that anything he sees that he doesn’t like is AI. And he has learned, as a senile narcissist, that he can discount anything he dislikes as AI. This won’t end well.

Hitler looked and sounded a lot less weird than Trump. I was recently watching some historical WWII videos and realized this. Everyone can see how pathetic and weird, small, pathetic hitler looked. But he was objectively less weird and gross, and more cogent, more masculine, than Trump. 🤔

Almost exactly 20 years ago, the 2nd most powerful Democrat in the United States candidly told me that he believed in an insane conspiracy theory involving Iran, and that war with them was inevitable because of that, so we better plan for it. Steny Hoyer was the Dem. He’s still in congress!

America has a long history of pointless and wasteful military adventurism. And in our quest to normalize Trump we’ve stuck his Iran war in that box: “another war, just like the rest.” It’s not like the rest. It’s an act of insanity, rogue state behavior. Don’t know how this ends until we admit it.

Nonsequiter Tweet: If Taylor Swift re-recorded the best 1/4 of the Wet discography as a “Taylor’s Version” album , with Kelly on harmony and the rest of the band on production, it would be an instant classic with a half dozen songs sitting at the top of the charts for the entire year after.

Yep. This was a problem so bad even 20 years ago that it partially dissuaded me from going to J-school. I mean, among a lot of other bigger structural things in journalism I was learning about at that age.

Like with using children as bait and eating at a restaurant then kidnapping the people who prepared it, ICE is routinely breaking taboos that have been part of human civilization since before recorded history.

I’ve spent more time at AA meetings than >90% of AA members (b/c as a kid my dad, a preacher, lead the local AA meetings multiple times a week and so I was always in the back of the room). I’ve spent more time on Sat mornings at Jewish temple than most Jews on earth (b/c of attending Rainbow Push)
