Independent. Fiscally conservative. Socially more liberal. I know WHY I believe what I believe. Pacific NW. Mariners fan (actually Cal Raleigh fan). I believe most people are poorly informed.

I'm more convinced than ever that the Seattle Mariners will win the AL West and the AL pennant in 2025.
The best teams in the AL are mediocre.
Seattle is about to improve dramatically just by getting pitchers off the IL.

For all who don't understand baseball analytics.
Balls hit on the ground have a LOW probability of success.
Julio has a GB rate of 56%. No matter how hard you hit it, your chances are not good.

I can't express how disappointed I am with the Mariners game today.
Just poorly played. Poorly managed. The roster is not consistent with my vision.
Two HORRIBLE ABs in extra innings.

The "editing" phase of the writing process consists of, among other things, ensuring the news story is complete and correct.
Standards, as in "high standards" are ensured by verifying information in the story.
Not only does Comer not understand the process, he doesn't want to understand it.

oh my god -- Comer thinks "editorial standards" literally refers to standards for editorials and is corrected by the NPR head

Is the center for excellence in higher education moving (temporarily?) to Toronto?
When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

With the Raleigh extension, where is the window for the Mariners post-season hopes?
Without any extensions for starters Seattle has THREE years.
Then one starter hits Free Agency each season.
Leverage arms in the pen are controlled longer.
Three seasons isn't a lot, having wasted the last two.

Why would they care? It is "chump change" to them.
We are the chumps allowing them to amass wealth without having to work. The wealth oligarchs have amassed has been earned by those working for them. They just skim of the top before paying the workers.

We need to boycott all Musk businesses because he is not a good steward of the wealth he has been given.
Rather than helping others, he spends money on space travel.
Rather than fighting disease and poverty, he turns his back on the sick and the poor.

Looking at the projected Opening Day roster for the Seattle Mariners and finding it unbelievable that they are choosing the guys they are from the roster they have.
They are mostly correct, but two guys I want to throw up when I see two names.
Jerry Dipoto has failed me.
