“Take me out to the ball game” is just an ode to 1908 gamer girls. I love that every baseball game, it’s a tradition to stand up, raise your voice, and imagine a girl who’s just not like other girls. She’s into baseball, and she even knows how many strikes make an out!

This is a number that's worth having in your head to get a sense of the scale of the issue here. The same amount of need. One tenth of the support. That's not business as usual. That's a sudden and utterly preventable cataclysm.

I respect the caution of the scientific method, but I can't help loving it when someone takes a much bigger swing. Like, bro. BRO. I literally had a dream where I saw a pendulum. I think I would know if the sun's gravitational pull ceases to exist at three times the distance of Neptune.

When you have a cat who’s utterly perfect, you end up with a lot of pictures of her that aren’t, so it feels good when one of them finally captures just a piece of her true essence
