Relatively unfocused these days. Formerly hyperfocused (and currently more normally focused) on bicycles, baseball, Star Wars, queer graphic novels, and Mormonism.

Target was my absolute favorite unplanned winter evening outing for years, but I joined the boycott earlier this year and nothing they've done since has made me regret that

The lesser evil is still evil. Harm reduction still causes harm. And the legal system will not save us.
She's not the villain. But this legal system IS. Multiple things can be true at the same time.
People want her decision to be morally good because she is morally good.

And it's all because some of us have decided that we can't be genocided again if we're the Oppressors. Well I for one didn't think the takeaway from the Shoah was that being Nazis was super cool and we should get a turn at the hate wheel.

I mean I agree with you & Jarrett. It's clearly true that at least half of MLB teams can't even approximate the Dodger way. Toronto is actually a great example of my willingness argument because they've been competitive for most of the last decade and a big part of that is trying hard in free agency

I admire the hell out of teams that win without the kind of resources the big franchises have. Frankly, MLB's antitrust exemption should be rebuilt so that there's tons more revenue sharing and a meaningful salary floor to ensure the money gets spent on making teams better. It's a pipe dream!

I absolutely think the present day Nats are bad for the sport! They competed because Ted wanted to win, now they don't compete because Mark wants to build real estate near Nats Park and won't spend money on his hobby.

Sure but my team is owned by Mark Lerner, very nearly a literal Ebeneezer Scrooge, and whose money did, in the not so distant past, buy an incredible stream of wins. Think how good Atlanta could be if Liberty Media™ wasn't afraid of free agents?

I'm bitter as hell that my Nats, owned by real estate ghouls with more money than God, just absolutely gave up on free agency because the farm got thin

No level of competitive parity, no level of average payroll, no amount of team revenue would inspire the owners to come off of a "we must reduce labor costs" position. To think that is to ignore 60+ years of baseball labor history. Anyone who says otherwise is either dumb or is carrying water.
