Opportunity for the Democratic Party. Pelosi is retiring. Durbin is retiring. The Democrats should be honest with their caucus and go into the midterms as the party of new members, younger leadership, and fresh ideas. New York City just elected a 34 year old mayor. The people want change.

In 2013, the #STLCards refused to pitch around David Ortiz and lost. The #BlueJays are making the same mistake with Ohtani. #WorldSeries

I really dislike the #MLS playoff format. Please be like the rest of the world @mls.bsky.social. 2 matches with aggregate. #MLSPlayoffs

Michael Jordan saying he hasn’t picked up a basketball in years feels sad to me.

Nobody tries to contact me harder than Photobucket regarding the images I hosted there for my MySpace page in 2005.

Best of luck to Governor Mills. Susan Collin’s is one of the most gullible people in the Senate. The people of Maine deserve a senator that will logically consider the issues before voting.

As it turns out, China is doing very well compared to the United States in this tariff war. I fear permanent damage has been done to the U.S. economy.

Trump bet China would face ‘tremendous difficulties’ without U.S. consumers—Beijing just focused on the rest of the world instead

China’s trade diversification has been so successful that its export market is growing significantly despite the trade war.

Ever scroll through your own posts to only see a GLARING typo in something you posted weeks ago?

Even though I have been on the internet most of my life, I still sometimes slip up and make a very rational arguement to someone who is just going to dismiss it because it is not what they want to believe.

My bad.

Data centers are not local investments. Data centers are local resource leeches. State and municipal leaders must conduct thorough research before approving these projects.

Watching and rooting for Philadelphia Union to win the Supporters Shield. Bradley Carnell’s departure was the beginning of a backslide that St. Louis CITY has yet to recover from. Always liked Indiana Vassilev too. #AllForCITY

Recently switched to the #Apple Sports app. One feature I like is the ability to monitor teams and leagues separately with dedicated widgets. Should come in handy during the #MLB playoffs.

The #STLCards ending the season and tenure of John Mozeliak with a sweep by the Cubs feels sadly appropriate. Nowhere to go but up. Bring on #ChaimTime

Hopefully we never have to see Miles Mikolas pitch ever again. #STLCards

It is important to remember that privileged does not always mean bad. Washington was privileged. The Roosevelts were privileged. JFK was privileged. It is more about what you already said, rising to the moment.
