We are ignoring a lot of what we know.

I had a great time reflecting on education, community and all things in between with @desia.bsky.social on this podcast.

I’m not sure what this means when Democrats have passed so much legislation and supported policy expanding people’s rights.

There is a huge gulf between the parties, which doesn’t make the Dems perfect but makes me feel morally obliged to vote straight Dems. (And yes that surely includes Mamdani.)

The news media is still ineffective holding him accountable for the blatant deaths and violations he is obviously responsible for in the plain light of day. (Start with US AID and go to ICE for the topper.)

You went them to interrogate where there is plausible deniability? They’re unprepared.

My favorite was the top all time countdowns, but we didn’t have any cable or anything until 1990 so I was late coming on the scene and I had to watch Thriller and stuff like that at friends’ houses or my rich uncle’s.

Well I don’t see any heroes in the Middle East right now, only villains and victims all around, so I’m not here to disagree with you on much of that point.

I just think the “blame the Dems” approach plays right into the hands of the most selfish and retrograde players in our country.

Yesterday my wife told me at Costco, “You are not buying the Kirkland dress shirts.” When she explained just a few ways one could tell the difference, I realized I have zero hearts in this game.

Harris did not do enough to distance herself from that awful decision.

And the *other* choice was a murderous madman that “pointing this out” facilitated killing millions and raining terror and suffering on millions more.

That’s the useful idiot part.

It all started with a bunt by Lukes. Just saying!!

Steven Evangelista @sevangelistany.bsky.social · 1d

Acting like useful idiots is how we got Trump.

Biden is not pro-violence. There is a murderous madman running Israel, not Joe Biden. And another one running the US thanks to the purity test people.

Edgardo Henriquez, a quick check: .556 OPS vs RHB, .841 vs LHB. That’s your countervailing point.

Not sure who that might be in the Dodgers pen, but there are guys who have crazy arm angles or whatever.

My final defense (if I were defending it) would be the habit. If you are used to having it this way, and it’s worked to get you all the way to Game 7, why mess around?

Steven Evangelista @sevangelistany.bsky.social · 1d

I’m not necessarily endorsing, just describing what I see.
I definitely want my best players getting more at bats, and I never even heard of Lukes before the playoffs.
And also: that’s against *all RHP.* Presumably they are worse against “righty specialists.”…

Steven Evangelista @sevangelistany.bsky.social · 1d

They are all righties. Get a lefty in there to keep the bullpen honest. And in this era of bullpen games with 13 relievers you can’t just say, “pinch hit for him in the 8th if you have to”

Careful with that caffeine- the price of coffee is going through the roof thanks to Cheato Cheeto’s tariffs. Have a great day!

This is DEI, isn’t it? /s

It’s 3-3 and Game 7 is tonight.

They certainly beat the piss out of the Yankees, and yes, I stopped paying attention too for a while. But I dragged myself back to the news…

Steven Evangelista @sevangelistany.bsky.social · 1d

Are you from the future? Did they win tonight??

Steven Evangelista @sevangelistany.bsky.social · 1d

Part of the bind that we are in is that the constitution doesn’t have any provisions for illegitimacy due to bribes!

We needed a war to get over the Taney Court’s overt racism.

The federalist papers are where you find founders’ warnings about Trump, and most of us probably slept thru that class.

Steven Evangelista @sevangelistany.bsky.social · 1d

It’s interesting that the big national news organizations never reported this HUGE PIECE OF NEWS THREE YEARS AGO that has a direct impact on today’s attempt by Trump to build an extrajudicial authoritarian state.

@wyden.senate.gov have you been talking about this? I haven’t seen reporting!

Pyperkub @pyperkub.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, see 2020 when they actually did this (at least one fake terrorist protestor was murdered in the raids): gizmodo.com/donald-trump...

Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump

A new Homeland Security report details orders to connect protesters arrested in Portland to one another in service of the Trump's imaginary antifa plot.

That pile of Kit Kats. They were few and far between (although the shops were generous and the costumed kids were plentiful) in Washington Heights

I’ll see your 10 billion and raise you another 10 billion.

Meanwhile SNAP is being withheld starting this weekend, and children will be starving. Meanwhile millions in foreign aid was slashed, causing millions of children to die in far flung parts of the world.
