I wanted to trade Taters years ago for bullpen help, and when that didn't happen, I prayed to the old gods and the new that the #Orioles would not extend him. Sentiment aside, extending boom or bust hitters never ends well
The BlueJays can afford, financially and basebally, to see what he has left

It is very frustrating to have known all along that the eugenicist hacks who take their resentment at failing middle school science out on us were lying both when they said they wouldn't stop anyone from getting vaccines and when they said they were capitalists, but it didn't matter

Fucking March for Life
D.C. health officials are warning of possible exposure to measles after three people with the illness made several stops in the region in recent weeks, including at the National March for Life rally and concert and Catholic University.
D.C. probing measles cases, says March for Life among potential exposure sites
D.C. Health says three people with measles visited the city, and Virginia reported a confirmed case in a child.

At the start of the 2nd half, the reporter said something about how Vrabel's message in the locker room was "to find a way" like it was some Hoosiers shit. Isn't that your job, bro? Vrabel was completely outmatched. If Darnold were sharper, it would've looked like Pats v Bears in 1985

Mike Vrabel is an incredible coach, but he made some perplexing choices in the Super Bowl.
Discussed with @benjaminsolak.bsky.social after the game.

Ice, ice everywhere. Major Mid-Atlantic waterway ice coverage peaked on Monday at 38.4 percent. As extensive as seen recently.
Most of the Delaware Bay and Potomac River covered at peak. Large portions of Chesapeake Bay also locked up with ice.

We see in many areas of life that the stated reasons people claim to do things are very different from the REAL reasons they do those things. It is always good to call that out explicitly and demand those people have the courage to be honest
Bravo to Mr. WeRateDogs for doing that

So it's a good thing the B-plot in #StarfleetAcademy S1E5 didn't feature any high level interplanetary negotiations lmao. It was the head of the Alpherati military academy, the best in class, reaching out to the War College. It's like the Arsenal coach reaching out to the Philadelphia Union coach
In the entire history of the Star Trek franchise, it’s never been mentioned or even implied that high level interplanetary negotiations take place in a public court at Starfleet Academy.
This is stupid.

Wow not my read at all. They go out of their way to get everything right for that diplomatic meal. The comic relief is how awkward and unsuited to diplomacy Kelrec is, and the point is to forge a truce between Kelrec and Ake. The rivalry, as we see in the A-plot, needs to end. That starts at the top
So... I've had a few days to absorb the latest Starfleet Academy, and I want to talk about one of my pet peeves in Star Trek
Starfleet Academy's b-plot involved prepping for a diplomatic meal with an alien species. It was framed as humorous how silly those foreigners were

Putting aside how angry Megyn with a Y is, it is very funny that the same people who claim to be about merit and capitalism and all that are mad that their shit simply makes no money lmao. The NFL is all about the bag
Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

Putting Mayfield in a list with Jackson and Allen is like Katy Perry putting Russell Brand in her list with Orlando Blum and Justin Trudeau
Sam Darnold is somehow a Super Bowl champion before:
- Josh Allen
- Lamar Jackson
- Baker Mayfield
- Josh Rosen (who I'm still keeping my eye on)

Heroku was a great platform and the pioneer for buildpacks to abstract deployment details away and make DevSecOps better. Then Salesforce bought it without any vision and ruined it (like IBM with Red Hat)
Today Heroku could be a key part of their Agentforce nonsense but alas pour one out for Heroku

One reason they remain so angry despite the fact they run everything is they know, and they know everyone else knows, they aren't tastemakers. Hence decades of Hollywood resentment. Resentment at Beyoncé, Lil Nas X, Shaboozey doing country music better than they do. The NFL all but made it official
Watched the halftime show. I guess where I fundamentally depart from MAGA is that, when I see something like this, celebrating a culture that's not quite mine, with some references I don't get, something that's not For Me ... I *like* it. I like seeing inside other worlds. Why wouldn't you?

One reason the right worldwide has done well is the center-left opposition is bad at politics. Democrats in the US. Labour in the UK. Labor in Israel. Congress Party in India
It makes you wonder if there is some grand unifying theory for what makes these parties and their leaders so unappealing

It's not quite Law & Order level, but a rewatch of #StarTrek TNG, DS9, and Voyager will reveal a lot of amazing actors you'll recognize

This is heartbreaking. Democrats like to hold hearings often using poster boards like Carrot Top props to do bits that are not funny or interesting. Why don't they hold some hearings with these kids' letters on poster boards?
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I can understand why React devs of course and JavaScript/TypeScript devs writ large would build native apps in React Native, but I think it's a no-brainer that everyone else should use KMP
