Saw that. I thought it was part of the bit, for a bit. Then I realized it wasn't!

The Blue Jays crowd had absolutely nothing. Stale bread. Then Max Scherzer emerged from the dugout pregame to a huge roar and the switch was flipped, Game 6 hangover over. @bryanagraham.bsky.social

Nobody ever goes anywhere. Moving is an enormous pain in the ass and nobody wants to do it. Let alone for a made up reason. This goes for all the Trump people who are "leaving" as well. How many times we've heard about mass exodus and it just never, ever happens. Snooze.

I still don't know if the tariffs are to get better deals with countries or to bring manufacturing/farming etc., back to the US. It's very confusing.

The US has trade deficits because they like products other countries make. And Americans like the prices they get them for. That benefits Americans, especially because Americans don't make much of what they buy. Whining about this is like complaining about your trade deficit with Trader Joe's.

Seriously. I mean, talk about chutzpah. She takes the cake on this one. At the same time, gotta back her on this. But man, it hurts. And it hurts a lot. Just close your eyes and repeat, "it's not about me."

What to do about smog, and what do readers think of the 1955 Ford, in the same box, is quite telling.

American's believe they won the cold war: we may have to rethink that. Because "socialism" lives in many American's heads, rent free, every day. And the juvenile definition of what that "socialism" is/was, keeps the US from tapping its true potential with every policy decision. So who lost?

Imagine having to select a job based on its access/cost to health care? You don't have to, because it happens in the US every day.

Can you imagine what this country could be if it wasn't obsessed with one word: "freedom"? This word nullifies our abilities to borrow the best practices of the developed world. In healthcare, in education, in transit, in housing, gun control and much more. It's a "freedom" to chase poor outcomes.

Damascus first. Then into Lebanon to knock out Hezbollah? Is it possible?

Good lord, whoever that CF was didn’t have a whole lot of urgency.

Can’t guard the perimeter despite having elite defensive wings. Kind of perplexing, but I believe they’ll work it out. Because they have to!

David Lengel, citizen @lengeldavid.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Absolutely. But my 10-year-old son is trying to get away with audio books to fulfill his nightly reading assignment. And I won’t allow that because I think he’s gotta get that stamina.

That’s cool. You are absolutely welcome to your deductions, it goes without saying.

Damascus falls and in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, home to the largest middle eastern population in NYC, horns are blaring and people are cheering.

I hear you, but it's not the case. All humans are capable of this. Unfortunately, I have thousands of years of data to pull from. Separating people is something we do to cope with this reality, but we're all the same. We're from the same species.

If you inflict pain and suffering onto other humans, wildlife and animals, you are human.

Ever get bored on the 4th of July and start sticking M80's in cinder blocks to see what happens? I haven't, but this is what MLB Commissioner and the owners are doing with the "golden at-bat", which I still think is something of a gag. My take. @us.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/d...

theguardian.com

Baseball has much larger problems than the farcical ‘golden at-bat’

The proposed rule change has been met with widespread derision. But MLB has two teams in temporary homes and an avalanche of pitcher injuries

If the fan base is motivated and cares, do you think it rubs off on the players? Imagine a situation playing out where your team wins the cup, and goes on to pick a key player who is a big part of the team for multiple years. Does that move you at all?

David Lengel, citizen @lengeldavid.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

What if I told you that the winner of the Cup would get a 15th overall draft pick? Does that make you more interested in the tournament?

The @raysbaseball.bsky.social should be working with Montreal, currently renovating Olympic Stadium, to relocate there for the 2028 season. It's getting a new roof, sound sys, lighting, heat and AC, all paid by Quebec. If TB invests in game experience reno, suites, concourse, it's a new venue.

The Philadelphia 76ers do not need a new arena. The current arena is modern and in perfect shape, and has mass transit, to and from. There is no reason whatsoever aside from the 76ers receiving public money to further enrich their franchise which I am sure is doing fine, despite their Embid issues.

I agree. It can't cancel his legacy because it is absolutely everywhere. Frankly, I don't care much if it was him or Eleanor, just the fact that is was done is the bottom line. Getting things done, at speed. I am definitely grateful every time I visit the Sunset Park WPA swimming pool in Brooklyn.

That sucks. She did a phenomenal job.

You never stop being blown away by the catastrophic planning decisions that were made in American cities. It's extraordinary.
