      No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?
    
        
      thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

      current headspace: 
4 or 5 times in this post-season a loss has felt like a bad omen to fans. And yet, here we are.
Ohtani on 3 days doesn't scare me, Glasnow after working however briefly tonight doesn't scare me. Sasaki after that many pitches back on the next day sure isn't scary.

      Finally, Prince Andrew is “being held accountable” if by accountable you mean losing titles and getting evicted while still keeping his wealth and freedom. It’s like grounding a billionaire: the public sees a punishment, but in reality, life goes on almost unchanged.

      I don't know if minor league baseball fans today understand what I built pre-twitter, before blogging was even a serious platform for journalism.

      The homeland security twitter account exists as further evidence that fascists have piss poor media literacy.
