making teams waste challenges is basically now a catcher skillset

The whole ABS thing is interesting because ppl are talking about how it kills catchers and framing and all it does it make it so the catcher now has to fool the batter with bad framing instead of the umpire with good framing?

to be clear this was already wildly fucking illegal by any standard employment regulation of ethical service

Ok but if you've grown up eating Bengali mustard Coleman's is pretty bland

kinda fascinated by how the real big sea change with Claude etc is you can ask it a question how you would a person and then somehow you stop treating it like a person because I know y'all aint believing half of this shit if a person said it

This is such sickening perfidy.

Norm does not really need me to qrt him, but we've talked for months about this family and this is an incredible deed among so many like it. The story of the occupation of the Twin Cities is people putting everything they have into helping their neighbors. Proud to call Norm a friend.

the weirdest part about shit like this is that the actual facts are awful enough that you don't need to embellish like this, like 1000 is also really bad!

First saw this story over on Threads, and people really, really, really did not like anyone correcting misinformation about their misreading of the story. We seem to be moving to some sort of post-reality where people just want fake stories that reinforce their beliefs.

Elon Musk spent billions of dollars to push white supremacy and has a compound where he’s keeping the children he’s trying to breed into little supermen and he’s never described as a fanatic for white supremacy.

Also important to emphasize as these glasses will largely be used as a workaround against laws banning racial profiling more than anything.

The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care.

Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.

I have not!

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

I find them basically the same as Indian most of the time tbh

This is true in that Lucknow legit the only place I've seen a bicyclist going head on at a car like fuck you bro I'mma run you over now

if you listen to motorists in India its super funny because the consensus in that in Delhi the bikers don't care about any lives except their own and in Lucknow(my hometown) they don't care about any lives inc their own
