Good q, and I don't feel qualified to answer. All I know is that in every highlight from that era, it looks like someone dumped a trash can onto right field.

One way in which society has visibly advanced over the decades: MLB fields are no longer full of random debris.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

I am a big James Austin Johnson fan, but his Trump impression has gotten significantly worse over time, and I can't recall another case of that happening.

Yes if you want to doom this is the reason to me more than the cave. We should have been begging them to kill the filibuster and had a bunch of Dems willing to say if they want to kill your healthcare with 50 votes it’s their prerogative.

At least people don't use the term "dumpster fire" anymore.

If you obey in advance, you get 25 percent off. A lot of people seem to forget that part.

An amazing story of this decade was the ADL turning all its fire on Israel critics while tech companies dismantled their censors and Hitler-lovers came roaring back.

It is remarkable that he (and AOC, for that matter) got zero flak for continuing to back Biden, suicidally, well after the debate. bsky.app/profile/joff...

I'm starting to think the administration full of Nazi sympathizers may not have Jews' best interests at heart.
