In this house, we believe:
The L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd is one.
You shall love the L-rd, your G-d, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your resources
And these things that I command you today shall be upon your heart and you shall teach them to your children
And you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you go on the way when you lie down and when you rise up
And you shall bund them as a sign upon your arm and they shall be an ornament between your eyes and you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates

Interesting, especially comparing it to Abraham Joshua Heschel’s belief that, after the second temple, judaism sanctified time in the Sabbath rather than space. Two different ways to find a solace to return to!

Joe Kennedy iii tried and failed in 2018 to do “younger and less progressive,” i’m not sure it will work this time either. Do wish Markey had been better at making an exit (or endorsing a successor! We’ve got some of the squad here!) after it

Feels like something @dieworkwear.bsky.social would (a) know about and (b) perfectly find something to roast me about for this take

I like that we made the distinction blue collar and white collar and then made the standard issue young urban professional outfit a powder blue collared button-down shirt.

Socialism is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions

Society if everyone who wanted to get into a spreadsheet simulator instead opted for Out of the Park Baseball 26 instead of "Roleplay a european power at the height of ethnic and sectarian violence/at the height of colonialism/as a literal nazi"

A city that sat out most of the Revolutionary War and rioted to not participate in the Civil War stole the Yankee name. It should be a Connecticut minor league team name.

The two greatest types of baseball stats are “this is the fastest second pitch in the eighth inning on the inside corner in the statcast era [since 2015]” and “he’s the eighth RHP to have 20 at bats without a hit and over eight strikeouts since ‘iron man’ joe mcginnty [b. 1871 d. 1929]”

Yoshida is the first Red Sox pinch-hitter *ever* to have a swing that turned a deficit into a lead in the postseason.
