A fun part about all the Reds moves today is that it overloads the corner OF, and that means Spencer Steer's going to play 1B if he's still around on Opening Day.
So Sal Stewart - the team's best position player prospect - is gonna be a DH at age 22...if they let him make the team at all.

Two-thirds of voters at Indiana University Bloomington’s sole on-campus polling site used their university ID to vote in the fall of 2024.
Indiana banned students from using these IDs for voting this spring.

Indiana Republicans Are Banning Student IDs for Voting
The new restriction, paired with Indiana’s stringent voter ID rules, is poised to make it much harder for many young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout.

wired: Reds signed a bounceback candidate who still has a minor league option remaining
inspired: Reds signed a bounceback lefty OF for $3.6 million less than Gavin Lux will make this year and maybe might actually be trading Lux and backfilling

The Reds signed a big lefty bat!
No, not that one. Not that one, either.
That guy? No, not him.
They got one, though!

I think people today don't understand just how dramatically the night sky has changed - it looked like it does in super remote areas *everywhere* before the invention of electric lighting, and light pollution that obscures the sky has gotten dramatically worse in the last 25 years.
If you ever have the experience of seeing a night sky out in the deep countryside you can understand this; it really is a fundamentally different experience, and I can't imagine it not being formative to people.

we've found it, the one single job AI would fuck up the absolute most is 'the expert ham sniffer of Spain'
I like to imagine that there is a rivalry between two top ham-sniffers: one, a meticulous keeper of precise traditions, the other a brash bad-boy with a colossal nose.

Denver has at least tied its warmest Christmas Eve on record, and a decent chance we just broke the record.
70° so far today...nearly 30° above average.
