"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all."

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

If Biden had announced before the primaries that he wouldn’t be running there’d be no danger of your celebrity nightmare, it would have just been a normal primary. Biden staying in as late as he did was the genesis of that (bad) idea.

Some of the people who wanted him out wanted that. Some of us wanted Harris. Neither would have been necessary if he’d dropped out early enough to have a normal primary.

I am not mad at him for beating trump, it was the best thing he ever did. I am mad it took him a year longer than it should have to realize he was incapable of beating him a second time.

Even Blinken and Pompeo were like “on second thought…nah”

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

I don’t think Kamala has too much special going on but she was a massive upgrade from Biden just by being coherent and ambulatory

Israel is a hell of a lot like Russia, which is to say that thinking “formal recognition” will solve anything is delusional, and “Israel is a fake state” is equally delusional.

It is very difficult! But even in the thorniest cases where you’re ejecting an Israeli family who literally stole a Palestinian family’s house at gunpoint, the place that Israeli family goes is “housing somewhere else in Israel”, not “Poland”.

My controversial opinion is that Harris ran a pretty good campaign that was neither particularly centrist nor particularly left-wing and mostly focused on “Donald Trump is bad and corrupt,” a politically neutral message capable of mostly uniting the party.

ryan cooper @ryanlcooper.com · 1d

the "popularist, let's do Clintonism again" people seem to have forgotten that Harris ran that kind of campaign and it didn't work prospect.org/politics/cen...

It’s nontrivial but no just instance of it would include the forced deportation of any Israeli Jews from Israel. That’s not restitution it’s just ethnic cleansing.
