That was as crappy a call as the first one. Hand on the defender, but doesn’t extend the arm to push off.

You’re usually spot on Carlos, but I take issue with a number of these. Boston is more arrogant or insufferable than entitled (like Andrew I’m considering the longue duree). And as a former Seattleite, I think barely relevant is better. Maybe your recent birthday impacted your cognitive abilities…

“All the news that’s fit to print”. Who are we to argue?

You mean how awful it is to uncritically repost dubious claims from ideologically driven sources?

And really, the 76 Raiders should have lost in the DIV round (roughing the passer still stings after all these years)

Only the most self-righteous, self-delusional, self-centered cretins think that's more important that countering fascism. And there's far too many of you still.

Well, congrats. Yes, others did not act well, but your self-righteous choices have landed the USA in the middle of fascism. Sometimes it's worth looking in the mirror and thinking strategically, not just knee-jerk blaming others.

Yes, AND the thought opposing Harris because of Gaza would lead to better outcomes for Gaza was a clear misjudgment even at the time and looks worse now

You mean Miami players went after the sounders. Get the story right

Not opening the whole stadium immediately feels like a device to create artificial scarcity and drive up prices (both primary and secondary markets). Not a great look if a goal is to build good will among the disaffected

and I'm sorry to post on your timeline - I don't know the student and it would have felt even more strident to post there.

I didn't mean it to be strident. I totally agree that Newsom would be an awful candidate for President. At the same time, highlighting his weaknesses at the moment when he's one of the few voices actively opposing fascism is, imho, a strategic mistake that we (the left) make over and over again

Nope. Right now we should take anyone who is anti-fascist to be on our team. Single issue voting has gotten us where we are: does anyone think Gaza is better off than it would be under Harris? So yes, trans rights are human rights, AND Newsom is on our team until fascism is defeated.

If I'm a Smithsonian official, I comply by curating an exhibition that demonstrates how white supremacy is a "principle ... that define[s] our nation."

It’s great! UM asked me to write a blurb and honestly I’m having a hard time stuffing my feelings into 50 words!

Indeed I am - moved to NYC to boot! Planning to attend the SBL in Boston - if you're going we could catch up and swap stories!

Of course, I didn’t expect the department to fall apart after I left….

Took early retirement- was glad to see you landed in such a great place!

My four-person department lost three TT people in the last 4 years, including myself, leaving the one person to pick up the pieces. The provost has managed to provide some adjunct help this year, but since Admissions missed their enrollment target by 20% (!), permanent. replacements are ???

This may just be a different boomer-ish opinion, but it strikes me as more of a parenting problem. If you are sending your child off to college and they don't know how to do laundry or that metal can't go into the microwave (vel sim), you're doing it wrong. College has too many other things to do.

And several of them sit on the Supreme Court.

I’ll take the under

Would love to hear from PRO here on their protocol. Thinking about the Savy King incident. If PRO wants to suspend and resume for the corner kick, that's an acceptable lunacy. To have played on last night would have been an unacceptable lunacy.

Does Livy count? 😂

Not really that soft on replay

That so perfectly encapsulates my feeling. Thanks.

Feels like you and your neighbors need to start calling that number…

This is shameful. The Security Cabinet has chosen territory over the hostages. They have chosen ethnic cleansing over justice. They have chosen forever war over peace. Every Jewish organization that cares about Israel's future & desires peace in the region must reject this plan.

This has been my suspicion for a while - I'm delighted to see an article trying to show it, and excited to read it!

I just think those players exist on a completely different baseball skill level than the rest of us, in ways we can barely comprehend watching the game.

That said, if they can allow Little League home runs too, then maybe we have a chance.😆
