So, you're a young'un like me. My wife and I are only a few years apart, and she got the smallpox vaccine and I did not.

The airflow has been so much better since it was...

Braves TV broadcaster CJ Nitkowski shared a really nice story about Bobby Bragan during the bottom of the seventh tonight (Acuña AB)

made me think of this:

Uh oh. Wicked Bible / Robert Barker vibes here

Even when I was wrestling with things in the early Hawkeye data from 2020 that I couldn't square with Magnus, I didn't connect that back to the Rod Cross findings. (I didn't make the connection until yesterday on the Garcia pitch.) The way you demonstrated it was just more generalizable/applicable.

What Rod Cross describes is very much seam-shifted wake. What I can't comprehend now, on the other side of your posts/papers, is that my reaction was, "oh, that was a really neat effect on this single pitch" rather than "oh, I bet that happens on most pitches thrown", which is what you showed.

Hi Lucas!

I am eager to see your explanation for the precession of the spin axis, btw.

I was looking back trying to find the first time I observed this effect, and, unrelated, I ran across this post from @pobguy.bsky.social from 2012. It looks like Rod Cross discovered seam-shifted wake without us realizing that was what we were seeing?

Andrew Rillera's book Lamb of the Free is excellent on this topic. Totally destroys the scriptural basis for penal substitutionary atonement, both Old Testament and New Testament

And that's good news, not because the cross saves from a God who is angry at us, but because it frees us to experience God's surpassing love and deep fondness for us and to live in that way of love ourselves.

but by ceding those things in love for our neighbor and love for the world, and counitertuitively in that way of living and dying, finding true life, true beauty, true power, and actual meaningful, lasting, and deep connection with God and each other. We are all called to follow Jesus to the cross.

I also think it's important to see that, insofar as Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, it was the sacrifice of an obedient life fully lived in love, leading us in the way that we too can become fully human. Not by seizing power, chasing ego, dominating others, and enforcing our will on the world

I like Brian Zahnd's statement that "God is like Jesus. He's always been like Jesus. We didn't always know this, but now we do."

The actual Jesus stuff is really good news for the world. The pale imitation Voldemort-style Christianity that's become mainstream in the USA makes me want to puke

Maybe we shouldn't have started a war with people who have such powers!

The Pride movement's use of the rainbow is quite consistent with the rainbow as mentioned in the story of Noah in Genesis. The rainbow is said to be a sign that God has made a covenant between God's self and ALL FLESH on earth. It's the sign that God is for everyone. He won't destroy anyone.

I hadn't thought about that, but I did think there was nothing that kept me from switching my children's identities. Our whole system runs on trust. As it should. We're human beings, not machines.

But we're finding out there is little defense when people want to abuse that at a large scale.

I had exactly the same thought when we left the hospital with our firstborn
