Bazardo I get. You want to hold them right there. But Brash in the 7th? When it looks like we’re going to game 7? Hmmmm

I think the only thing we can rule out in this timeline is that humans in the future invent time travel. At least, the good guys don't.

If they had needed 3 outs, they could have turned a triple play on that. Amazing defense when they needed it!

A guaranteed point in a game against Vegas is already a good outcome, but let’s get the W!

Everything about this timeline confirms to me that if humans invent time travel some time in the future, it’s not the good guys.

The Chinese military is literally run by Communists. I guess they're the good, anti-woke kind, not the kind they accuse anyone to the left of Mitt Romney as being?

After months of relative calm, my phone is suddenly blowing up again with sweaty, desperate, alarming texts claiming to be from Dem-aligned groups. THIS IS NOT OK. I get the party needs money, but selling my info to every campaign opens the door for scammers and spammers. Opt-in only, please!!!!

Their theory of the case is that bringing Marvel readers to the platform exposes them to all the great indy stuff that's available digitally, that they might not see in their local comics shop. Curious to know if that holds up.
