Laying here awake still thinking about how since Mike Maddux left the Rangers to go to the Angels either he's a really big fan of the beach to put up with that organization, or...

My light bulb moment for this concept came when I heard an extended NPR segment (maybe from a podcast?) about the guy who discovered lead was everywhere. When you tell ppl a toxic substance is everywhere they don't believe you, because if true *someone* would be doing something about it

Recently my brother in law explained what gerrymandering was to a coworker and they didn’t believe him because if that were really happening there would be riots in the street

This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

Some of us will see next spring and some of us won't. Regardless, baseball keeps a schedule that most people understand, even if they don't realize it in its absence

I'm pretty disconnected from sports these days, for all kinds of reasons, but nonetheless I'll invoke the great words of Rogers Hornsby when he said "people ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for Spring"

Baseball really is the game that is all about the good times, isn't it?

Oh, look at me just wandering into a casual little bear trap out of the blue while discussing that I block out sports for mental health and someone else is all "so that's when my grandmother's cancer got her"

There's such a collision of emotions involved with this and obviously one significant grocery store divider I place but as much as I enjoyed that speech when it was leaked, the thing where Matt Harrison leaves the mound after the first saying "it's happening again" overshadows it

As a random non sequitur, regardless of what Corby thinks I'd probably have a better shot with Amanda than he does

Exactly, there are a small handful of people who do some scheming and I tend to take note of their actions but for most of the gang it's just ready fire aim

The main reason I grow tired of "they're trying to distract us" talk is because that requires them to think that the other things they are doing are wrong and largely unpopular. They don't think that. Secondly, creating distractions requires forethought

I do not care how math works, there is no number of monkeys at typewriters that ever ended up at "floor chicken can't be poison." It's an impossibility, and likely a wrinkle in time

Two undegrad bro walking down the hall of my colleges version of the Winchester Mansion eating chicken tenders from a styrofoam container they found on the ground. “It was still hot when we found it, this floor chicken can’t be poison” they told their clearly aghast girlfriends.

do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

There is an ever-widening schism between the types of media/pop culture two different sides consume. I've often been in a unique position to see this differently than others, and no think-piece terminology fully encapsulates or articulates the scope of it
