I think of it this way: 2% of the US population turned out in a single day to protest the government, surpassing that of a similar movement in June. It is noted that when such resistance reaches 3.5%, regime change becomes likely. Public pressure works.

I forgot to post this what I took at the Kansai Expo last week by holding my phone over my head and blindly firing because I was in a human crush at the top of the ring walkway and couldn't see anything.

Heh, I was just explaining this to my mom last night.

Me: So Ohtani was the starting pitcher and he pitched into the 7th and struck out 10, only allowing 2 hits.

Mom: Wow, amazing!

Me: [long pause] .... Okay so he was also the leadoff hitter.

Mom: what

Me: And he hit 3 home runs.

Mom: WHAT

Also there's this Chinese station trying to hail me at +12dB and splattering all over the spectrum (I can see like 4 harmonics on the waterfall). Dude. I'm answering someone else. Please stop.

I have done it in business settings and yeah, I can get pretty nervous because I'm not a professional. This guy is standing beside the current greatest living baseball player in front of 50,000 fans and has like 10 seconds to articulate his thoughts
