Now reading: The Original by Brandon Sanderson and Mary Robinette Kowal

A sprawling paean to human potential that at times seems unsure whether it wants to be a sci fi novel or a philosophy discourse. Immersive world-building helps propel you forward, and when you reach the end you’ll want to discuss the book with someone who understood it better than you. Recommended.

Ahhh, so the relative impact will be to expand the zone for those hitters who currently crouch the most, and contract the zone for those hitters who are the most upright.

Mister Bultitude @bultitude.bsky.social · 5d

So a lefty who likes the ball down should crouch down more during the measurement time to get a smaller and lower zone for the season?

Reading it the first time, my interpretation was that the halberdier planned an assassination and his face drooped with disappointment when he heard it would fail

“There are so many cases where he expresses fears and concerns and a need for protection. And if your main thing is seeking protection, you play with fire," Palaver tells us of Thiel. "In the end, you have to decide: Are you really going to be a Christian in a proper sense? Or are you a Schmittian?"

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession

This was a fun, brisk read. World was intriguing, as you’d expect of a Sanderson creation, but I was unsure whether it was substantial and coherent enough to stand up to a longer treatment. Recommended.
