I can’t even begin to describe how demoralizing it is to work not knowing when my next paycheck will be, only to see those who can actually do something about it take recess while getting paid and saying shit like “See? You don’t even notice a shutdown because the govt is broken” to constituents.

The modern baseball lasts an average of 2.5 pitches before being taken out of play forever.

In the pitch-clock era, it's astronomically shorter than the shortest lifespan of anything in the animal kingdom.

This week I’ve been participating in a phased array radar testbed and I’ll say this: if this agency does ultimately choose to fully invest in PAR as the future of weather radar, that future is certainly bright.

Let me get this straight. We’ve won 3 of our first 5 series to open the second half of the season, but the two series we lost were against the worst team in each league?
