Man,game 7 of the 2013 series, when the Bostoo Yook Yarters walked it off in the 57th inning against Chicago City was something I will never forget.

When you are dealing with Repub folks, remember than many of them believe things that are quite untrue. Their world view is shaped by conspiracy theories.
*More than half of the GOP believe the 2020 election outcome was the result of fraud
*More than 4 out of 10 believe 9/11 was an inside job
*37% believe the Holocaust did not happen or was exaggerate
*36% believe NASA faked the moon landing
*1 in 3 believe vaccines cause autism

"Ohtani’s brilliance on this Friday night feels like a reset button for all of it. A reminder that greatness can come from anywhere, and that Los Angeles, for all its faults, still has room for someone to arrive from across the ocean and become the heartbeat of the city."
And as I’m hearing “and the Dodgers win The Pennant,” it’s not lost on me that this immigrant from Japan is exemplifying both the greatness of immigrants and the enduring promise of the American Dream.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.
We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

We're not supposed to invoke Hitler, since that somehow loses the argument, though there really isn't an argument anymore, just an increasingly fascist state. But imagine if regular Germans turned out in numbers with whistles and frog outfits when the Nazis started rounding up Jews. #ChicagoProud.
