In addition to being cruel, miserable, whiney, etc. all of the NYT anti-trans “intellectual freedom” type pieces are unbelievably boring. This always gets glossed over.

This is the kind of thing I think about before I fall asleep if I’m feeling anxious: how you could align divisions around railways. Play most games in-division, all regular season games in-conference. Would be so much fun.

When MLB expands to 32 teams, it should forget the AL and NL.
Embrace a dramatic geographic realignment.

Validating to learn this guy is literally just a frontrunner but for players.

Very very sad we don’t get to watch a Game 7 tomorrow but I had so much fun watching this team this fall.

Whole clubhouse loves him. I guess they’re all losers. Literally wouldn’t be in the WS without him.

If you defend rhys hoskins at this point your just as much of a loser as he is
This is absolutely correct. I second-guessed Topper all postseason long and I was wrong literally every time until tonight. You don’t get to take a victory lap on the guy who made incredible unorthodox decisions for a month.

Lol y’all have fucking loved the aggressive managing from Topper all postseason but now ya hate it.
Take your hindsight bias and shove it.

If you’re a Phillies fan talking about getting rid of Rhys Hoskins in the middle of an NLCS run, you are a Yankees/Cowboys/Lakers fan. You are a frontrunner but for players rather than teams. Pathetic.
Quote Tweet
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
Getting rid of Hoskins, keeping segura, moving Bohm to 1st, and signing Turner, Xander, or correa makes this team 1000000x better.
Not sure why we’d let segura go and keep rhys

A phenomenally reported piece by my friend Seyward on a prestigious Los Angeles high school program with a long history of abuse
Quote Tweet
For the last 9 months, I've been working on an investigative story about grooming and abuse—15+ years of it, allegedly perpetrated by multiple adults, all of them colleagues—at an acclaimed public high school in Los Angeles. Today is publication day. /1

My great friend Niamh is raising funds for a rad organization she volunteers with that provides access to, and helps overcome financial barriers for, abortion care in Montana, where access is often limited. Consider donating if you can. THANKS.
Maria plucked a line that fell flat from the middle of this story and placed it in its current position as the last line of this story. And as a result the whole thing went from something I felt OK about to something I am proud of. twitter.com/mariabustillos

Don’t let the Atlantic County dems reframe themselves as a foil to the evil Van Drew. These losers helped elect JVD in the first place and they continually refuse to move left in any material way. Absolute grifters just like JVD.

I cannot wait for Atlantic City to stop being used in incoherent metaphors about a crumbling Trump presidency and return to its role as a ham-fisted metaphor for failing American capitalism
Quote Tweet
The defunct Trump Plaza in Atlantic City is currently wrapped in black netting to keep people nearby from getting hurt by random pieces of its eroding facade.
It will be imploded altogether in January.

This is just my political opinion and is not personal but I am in favor of any politicians who oppose universal healthcare getting coronavirus and dying. It’s nothing personal against Joe Biden or Donald Trump and is just purely political. Personally I hope they live long lives.
