Inside and Outside | Baseball Prospectus Even if sports were merely an escape, not everyone has access to them.

At @baseballprospectus.com today, I wrote about what it feels like to have whatever barriers you’ve placed between yourself and the horrors shatter, through the lens of Saturday’s murder overlapping with TwinsFest: www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Really good stuff & really inspiring

The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

What Caused Democrats’ No-Show Problem in 2024? New data sheds light on the policy preferences of nonvoting Democrats in the last election. It may disappoint some progressives.

There’s a lot of overlap of faculty, staff, and students who are connected to both campuses.

A friend and I hunted for double-dactyls in the wild after a professor off-handedly said they didn’t happen much. The only one I remember right now is rotary president

Anyone enjoying #Andor, really should see Tony Gilroy’s directorial debut Michael Clayton. One of my top favourites. Not just featuring what I think is George Clooney’s best performance (amazing Oscar winning performance from Tilda Swinton too), but it’s an excellent thriller. Fantastic screenplay.

Life question: what’s one thing to do to feel bouncy again after failure?

Manuscript question: are the very first poem and very last poem more important, relatively speaking?

Thought the same thing. I don’t hate it somehow

Would love to see you Sunday in Spring Green!

I still think White Lotus: Wisconsin Dells would slap so hard.

I loved it!

Took my mom and voted last week!

After two weeks of recovering from hitting a deer, lots of car-hunting and conversations and insurance, etc. , I’m happy to introduce my new-to-me Honda CR-V. Named Neko, I think.

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

There’s an Urdu name for a “Jack of all trades” that translates to “every talent Lord.” A Korean version is “eight direction beauty.” But my favourite name for someone who tries their hand at lots of different things is the Lithuanian Barbė devyndarbė. It means “Barbie nine jobs”

Historian here:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

March Backlist bundles. Haven, Sanctuary and Harbor by Rebekah Weatherspoon 3 steamy romances for the price of one. Three romances with shirtless buff guys on the cover, standing in front of the mountains, in front of a farm and in front of the ocean. All three books have plus size black heroines and all three books feature BDSM elements. Haven - he saves her from serial killers. Months later they reunite and do the nasty instead of going to therapy. Sanctuary - She saves herself from a professional hit and ends up hidding at his farm. They do the nasty in a peach orchard. Harbor is a polyam story with three black folks. Their cheating partners are killed and they try to find meaning in it all. The meaning involves a threesome on the beach.

If you've been meaning to try my books, nows the time. Walk with me some more...

I will perhaps try throwing an old orthotic into the sea.

If I had known this was the official Country Over Party I would've brought more booze.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

@stealthygeek.bsky.social: “Democrats should be running daily press briefings from a shadow White House pool of the legitimate news agencies which have been locked out by the Trump coup. Their audiences will get real news, Dems will regain some messaging control.

Why is this not already happening?”

Sorry to interrupt this town hall but here are ideas for 200 new Pokémon I thought up. Dugbug, a burrowing beetle. Candelabro, the bodybuilder candle. Monkini, a monkey that wears a bikini

"What can I do against Trump, I'm just a..."

Yeah, what could a weirdo photographer Surrealist do? Convince the Germans that two people was a whole resistance movement, and absolutely slaughter morale, with a bunch of running pranks, it turns out.

Find your lane, people, and work it hard.
