We have to remember that what we observe are not Niels Bohr quotes themselves, but Niels Bohr quotes exposed to methods of making them quotable.

No MVP seasons for Piazza either. Mets have never had an MVP!

I think Pedro is more impressive, yeah, but if Iโ€™m building a team I take Gibson!

I want you guys to have a face off with Russell on The Case For podcast ahaha

You guys are great at saying things I totally disagree with ahahaha (but I would put Nomar in the HoF)

The question of value is an interesting one though. Like I would take Gibsonโ€™s 1968 over Pedroโ€™s 1999 or 2000 just because of the sheer amount of IP and Pedro is my favorite

Itโ€™s weird, right? He never won an MVP award. After that crushing postseason?

Does anyone have any insight on why they had Mattingly present the NL MVP award? Lol

Italy is also a WBC team, you can cheer for your roots!

If youโ€™re 40% anything there a 90% chance itโ€™s contentious with 80% of the rest of #Europe

I LOVE how good the Czech Republic is at being in the middle of things.

This isnโ€™t coming from a place of wanting to defend the Dodgers or Ohtaniโ€ฆ I am not a Dodgers fan. The Yankees arenโ€™t the problem here either.

There is going to be a lot of talk about Evil Empires like the Dodgers causing 2027 drama, and while I understand the attractiveness of that narrative, I really hope baseball fans look a little closer to see that Not Spending is causing more problems. Owners not building teams, just selling parts.

This vicious modus operandi - publish, let it work its poison, and retract. "Nothing to see here. Uhm ..."

The call out for such behaviour needs to be strong and loud and sustained. This was not an accident.

(Let's be clear: This type of weaponizing of AI is going rampant already.)

i donโ€™t much care about the sanctity of the white house or whatever but building a multimillion dollar ballroom at this exact point in time as a world leader feels loudly, reverberatingly fucked up
