Reposted by NuteJordan @jordanpfot.bsky.social · 5hAnother reason why this annoys me is because it's not just America having to deal with the consequences. Even if we accept that Americans have always been marinating in a culture that treats human life as disposable - this specific action is going to create a snuff film that can be viewed worldwide! 72166
Reposted by NuteJordan @jordanpfot.bsky.social · 7hSorry but no, it is in fact notable that the US is doing something only very extremist regimes do. To willingly abandon “this isn’t who we are” as a response is to throw away a very powerful rhetorical weapon. 7973397

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 7hkind of a funny reflection of where national politics are that 'Netanyahu' is an entire issue of itself, and a defining one 2251
Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 7hI think it would have been an enormously difficult situation, particularly with the anti-Home Rule paramilitaries of Ulster now full of armed heroes of the Great War! (obviously you'd also have had the IPP citing the sacrifices of the the rest of Ireland too!) 010

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 8hYeah, just as it’s honestly hard to see how anything plays out without WWI happening when it does too. (My history teacher used to joke that Ireland was the unique instance where you could say “Thankfully World War I broke out or things might have boiled over” - albeit the reprieve was temporary!) 030

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 20hQuite honestly, I strongly suspect that it is actively electorally mediocre and overwhelmingly appeals to people who already agree… but it’s *still* important to say for the reasons you outline, and it’s ideal for someone like Ossoff to say it 3540
Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 21hDavid Stearns is bad because he is the analytics guy, needs to be more like successful NL teams like the Brewers who focus on the fundamentals and play baseball right 3201
Reposted by NuteDan Szymborski @dszymborski.fangraphs.com · 21hIt's utterly fascinating that a large part of the Mets subreddit is convinced the Mets were bad because analytics and the Rays were better than the Mets because they don't use analytics much.

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 23hA major part of the reason why they want to live stream the execution is so that you personally will get upset with them for live streaming the execution, because upsetting you makes them happy. It’s all just so exhausting 237068

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026(Similarly, *one* of the motivations for the 'Dem establishment wants AES to lose and is attacking him!' stuff is to pre-emptively explain any potential underperformance in a way which doesn't incriminate his ideological positioning or sometime alignment with cranks etc) 0110
Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Right, I mean, she wants this to be the takeaway for both reasons of factional interest and personal interest. I think she's absolutely wrong but it's pretty obvious why she's saying it 180

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I cannot sufficiently express how much I support a system where the higher playoff seed gets to pick their opponent in the next round.

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think again this comes back to the difference in expressive/instrumental views of voting. The demand is that non-bigots 'deserve' a different choice, which presupposes that the point of voting is to feel represented or get what you deserve etc, rather than actually affecting the outcome 2372

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Funny how we aren’t hearing much this year about how the bye is a catastrophic disadvantage for teams in the division series. Especially not from fans of a certain Atlanta team who were the main people screaming and crying about that in 2022-3 030
