If your opinion is stupid enough to piss me off, I'm just going to block you.

It's a form of self care.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

On multiple levels.

How exactly would you show proof?

I've done it many times. If I could vote in NY I'd vote for Mamdani. I have no way to prove it. Votes are private.

Also, if you doubt that there are going to be tens of thousands of Mamdani voters who routinely vote straight D, you need a new brain.

The World Baseball Classic will be happening this spring and there are a lot more than two countries represented.

What the fuck is a seppo?

I do not.

Are you just an idiot or do you not know what's going on in baseball?

A batter has about a third of a second to react to a pitch. If the initial reaction is in any way wrong, it's almost impossible to course correct before the ball arrives.

Also, I don't know how to tell you this, but the suggestion that major league ballplayers--the top fraction of a percent of people in the world who do what they do--were lacking in skill is ridiculous.

Plenty of players have been hit in the head.

Gregory Lynn @needfulwords.bsky.social · 8h

Hasn't happened. Probably can't. Clean balls and helmets work.

Major League Baseball started requiring clean baseballs after a player was killed by a ball he didn't see coming.

Every time I see cricket the one guy throws it on the ground to bounce it to where the guy with the bat is.

Gregory Lynn @needfulwords.bsky.social · 20h

Y’all deliberately throw the ball in the dirt do you not?

Gregory Lynn @needfulwords.bsky.social · 20h

They do though.

Gregory Lynn @needfulwords.bsky.social · 20h

They suck.

Gregory Lynn @needfulwords.bsky.social · 20h

You think cricket has separate physics than baseball?

How did you not slap them?

I wish I’d come up with that.

It’s fucking hilarious.

It’s amazing to me how many people think it’s rude to call out someone’s rudeness.

Thirded. ‘Twas a good show.

I feel like Verin having a cup of tea set the whole end game in motion and it’s a thousand miles an hour from there.

Very cool.
