A Genius for Friendship
Matt Sitman and Sam Adler-Bell's podcast is known for its astute observations of the conservative movement, but has just as often been a meditation on the power and political potential of friendship.

Been meaning to push this one back up to the top of the timeline the last couple days.
punting on 2nd and 3 at the opponent’s 20 is something we will never ever see in football, because if a coach was trying to throw a game there are many more subtle ways of doing so. this is probably the closest thing to that we’re likely to see

I’m starting a new podcast called Game Stories where guests pick a single game that is particularly meaningfully or narratively rich in the context of their life, and we dig into it. I’d love to know what Trump would pick. Feels like an ‘86 Mets game is a real possibility.

Strawberry thanked Trump for "finalizing this part of my life, allowing me to be truly free and clean from all of my past."

**MUSIC SWELLS**

Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes
And stirs imagination
Silently the senses
Abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night

If I had to pick a pre internet fantasy baseball game to buy and play with my students as a way to talk about fantasy sports is Strat-o-Matic the obvious choice or are there others that might be better and easier to play in a classroom as a one off?
