1. fuck this voter
2. I don't care that much about the HOF but my list would be: Beltran, Buehrle, King Felix, Manny, A-Rod, and I could be talked into a few others.
Ballot #5 is from a voter who wishes to remain anonymous. As a refresher, we are unable to report adds or drops, if any, on anonymous ballots.

This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot. There will not be a unanimous inductee this year.

Aghast to learn I've been saying "hone in" when it's actually "home in". And I understand why it makes more sense but it I feel like if I say it that way I sound wrong, so I guess I'll just literally never say either one ever again.

2023? bad year. I don't mean bad stuff happened, i mean it has no charm. Not long enough ago to be long ago, not recent enough to be recent. And like, what happened in 23? I don't even remember it. I'm not even sure it happened tbh

kinda surprised it isn't more. I also think I'm more likely to curse in original posts than in replies which might explain it

This is a great thread. I honestly feel as though every cohort of young adults from now on is going to rely on their parents for critical thinking the way my generation might have asked their parents whats wrong with their car, how to build a fence, or why their cake isnt coming out right.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

BTW I feel like I keep asking and I've probably ignored/forgotten some good answers but, any recommendations for left-leaning or full-blown progressive Canadian political podcasts/youtubers?

Can't decide what's funnier, people that got "f*ck Carney" bumper stickers 2 days after he was elected, or gung-ho Mark Carney fans who think if you criticize him it means you are simply failing to appreciate his genius

companies are making their live chats for customer support as difficult to find as possible - forcing you to wade through numerous help articles first, or making the chat icon very tiny in a hard-to-see corner of the browser, hoping they don't have to talk to you. Fucking infuriating behaviour.

What's the word for when you're not exactly surprised but when you feel as if you're surprised when you see it shown so openly??

"wow, this halftime show featuring eminem and the white stripes is one of the best halftime shows I've seen in a while" might be the most almost-40-year-old-white-guy thought I've ever had. That or "I wish I could put a bird feeder on my balcony"

Today I learned that John A. MacDonald regretted not being able to afford a university education, as it prevented him from securing a career as a literary writer. Instead he had to settle for passing the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, where you could immediately intern/article without law school

That quote from Michael Leavitt is disgusting
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."
