No counter-protests whatsoever here. I think that's the thing that results from all the chaos in the MAGA movement.

One of the good signs today was "Stormy Daniels was the only person hired by Trump who was qualified to do her job"

MLB.TV was hot garbage tonight. Kept crapping out right during pitches.

Has Jason Benetti done the Mr. Burns "See my Vest, made from real gorilla chest" thing with Will Vest yet?

This one seems pretty fixed by the homeplate umpire.

I recommend you put your shoes on next time and go talk to some folks. Maybe that's like saying go touch grass or whatever. In my little corner of the World, it was a lot of people who are definitely inside the leviathan; who grew up in a system with rules who are shocked and dismayed at the lack of any kind of consequences for all this criminality.

Yes, I'm annoyed you don't think 50% of the people at these protests give an actual ****. That's pretty awful.

You can bet all you like. Use the same apps the white house does when they use insider information to manipulate the betting markets. Or, you can bet that the people in Minnesota who were pissed off at the execution of Pretti and Good were just there because of their instagram accounts. Go sell lazy someplace else.

Andor Severance Paradise The Pitt Pluribus Kevin McGonigle's 8th inning AB last night. Man, there are some great shows out lately

Where I was the cops were on scene too. Its planned and organized. The protest has marshals who wear vests and make sure nobody is getting to crazy.

I spoke to a woman for over an hour whose dad was an Air Force officer and she and i were fixated on how the system used to have rules. You abided by them and you could have a career even if you were a Dominican Republic immigrant as her dad was. Spoke to a buckeye fan and commiserated about the angst we had on the day of The Game and how we felt that way all the time now but in a bad way. Spoke to a bunch of vets. Had another long chat with a dude about Andor (see the Nemik quote poster above “Opression is the mask of fear”)

There is an interesting note about the "bad british food" trope. I was watching a video on food rationing in Britain during the war and then for nearly 10 years after WWII. Of course you are going to lock in some bland food choices if you don't have options. People who are jonesing for some jam or butter for their bread or a few ounces of chocolate per week are not going to have extravagant cuisine. Laterly, there have been a lot of foodie types in the UK because it became like any other over-done middle class eccentric thing. David Mitchell referred to them as anorak trainspotters who just turned the trainspotting to food.

not for discussion here. It was good and look for my commentary elsewhere.

The sense of fellowship and organization is so positive. So many people I talked to today were expressing inbetween raw emotion and coherent and long thought out discourses so many different ideas. Keep it up!

agree

So, I did this at the last minute before i left the house. There were a lot of people who liked the Kegbreath thing.

watching again... its at the 3:01 mark on the broadcast. He goes: foul down rf line ball high ball low (skips in so not a competitive pitch) foul off to the left foul down the rf side on a pitch he went and dug out of the bottom of the strike zone. (Dan Petry is imploring him to take it to 3-2 so the runners will be off. Foul off the umpire's mask. Umpire is checked for protocol. foul down rf side. reaches out to outside corner to flare a foul ball down lf side. ball low. (Seemed noncompetitive but maybe closer than i thought) base hit scores two. My impressions are that he's Kirk Gibson levels of mental toughness and insane bat/ball skills. Oh man that is a powerful combination.
