i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

I do think Trump is rapidly careening towards having completely blown apart all of his political capital and support by attempting to do every insane thing he's ever thought of at once before he even manages to have a cabinet in place.

Ichiro changed how baseball is played, reducing his career to WAR feels erroneous, sports is a narrative business
Meh. Ichiro is definitely overrated (career 107 OPS+, only two 6 WAR seasons), but he’s still clearly a Hall of Famer. Similar to Jeter in that way.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
