I have been exposed to The Discourse, and once again, we should maybe just know so much less about each other!

Let’s Make Hasty Judgments About Mark DeRosa’s Lineup DeRosa’s performance probably isn’t going to be the difference in whether Team USA wins, fails to medal, or finishes somewhere in between. But it’s never too early to nitpick.

Team USA has played one warmup game and blew the doors off the Giants. Doesn't mean I can't nitpick Mark DeRosa's lineup construction

Letting Fetterman score clean dunks like this is a threat to national security

The Giants allowed the first four Team USA batters to reach but retired eight of nine since then and cut the lead in half in the bottom of the first. We're one swing away from tomorrow's headline being "America's Housering Crisis"

I don’t care if antisemitism is β€œmore prevalent on the right”, the point of my personal political project is that bigotry of all kinds has no place in a functioning society so I need to make sure that the people who claim they are on my side aren’t bigots. I have more contact with those people.

can't say I anticipated how big a differentiator "we don't partner with sportsbooks or prediction markets" would end up being in the (sports)media space

was trying to sort out why I was experiencing stretches of notable background anxiety all weekend, and "world events plus it's 91 degrees here on Feb 28" seems like as good an explanation as any

I know many of you already know this because it’s obvious but you can absolutely take a survey of an opinion desk’s output over time and pretty accurately surmise the viewsβ€”or at least the intentionsβ€”of the people who are in charge of deciding what gets published. I thought we were all adults here

feels pretty bad that our lives are being buffeted about by some of the dumbest, cruelest people imaginable, with the goal of making all of us dumber and crueler too

idk man, support independent media, that's definitely part of the solution here, but independent media can't afford to indemnify John Oliver, so it's hardly all of it

This episode? It's a very Effectively Wild episode. What does that mean? Heavy challenge system stats talk preceded by centaurs and hemorrhoids, obviously.

generally don't fault any individual player for contemplating these deals, and obviously the particulars really matter (including whether being in Pittsburgh Opening Day is predicated on taking one), but dude, you got $6.5 million two years ago and are stupid talented, bet on yourself a little
