@enosarris.bsky.social , instead of saying, “No whiff of steroids” w Kent, maybe you meant, “no smoking gun.” Look at his productivity by age, consider the game culture & i think you’ll detect an odor. As for his D, watch some video. 2 steps & a dive is appropriate for 3b, but that was Kent at 2b.

Tried again to listen to @nytimes.com daily Dec 4 & was appalled. Grafting story of Covid corruption in MN onto Trump’s racist attacks on Somalis was irresponsible sane-washing. What’s next? Retrospective on 1940s internment camps that focuses on Japanese American crime? “Maybe they deserved it”?

Keep hearing people ask what’s the point of showing up to a rally. The point is solidarity. The point is demonstrating the size & strength of opposition to this regime. When authoritarians capture all branches of government, the plutocracy & major institutions, only the people can stop them.

It would be so easy for Vance to condemn overt racism and misogyny from a bunch of no-name Republicans in order to send the message that “We’re really not THIS despicable,” but he can’t bring himself to do it. Because they are that despicable, & the worst people are leading the way.

Getting to where I can’t listen to @nytimes Up First anymore. It’s obvious and predictable that Trump admin would use Kirk murder to justify further crackdown on dissent & democracy, but political reporters have to entertain the idea that there’s a legit left wing billionaire terror threat.

Astounding. It’s not enough to ignore science; we’re eradicating it.
There is just no precedent in recent world history of an advanced industrialized country sabotaging its own scientific establishment, and destroying the base of scientific knowledge necessary for basic policymaking. An avowedly, actively anti-knowledge regime.
Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

When you hear analyst Eno Sarris refer to someone as “a good player” and say, “his defense was a big part of his case for the HOF,” you assume he’s talking about Nellie Fox, Red Schoendienst or Bill Mazeroski. But no, it’s Ryne Sandberg.
