It’s not that there aren’t good performances, Samantha Morton was good but oversold, meanwhile Anne Hathaway was *dramatically* undersold. She is 95% of that movie

It's pretty miraculous that you can get anywhere in the country in a matter of hours in an organized, incredibly safe manner, for a couple hundred bucks. Basic economy comes with some shitty compromises, that's why it's so cheap!
Alex Kirshner@alexkirshner.com · 7h agoIt's fine to complain about air travel but if you're going to do it, I think you have to acknowledge the tradeoff, which is that it's not any more expensive than it was 20-30 years ago. Pretty good! slate.com/business/202...
*everything* is better now than it was when we were younger and it is insane that people don’t realize it
So this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary
Arraez is an aesthetically pleasing type of ballplayer. Whether he is good is beside the point, and too many people forget this (not Matt, I mean the general discourse around around him)
Matt Winkelman@mattwinkelman.bsky.social · 23h agoThe thing about Luis Arraez is that he is a good hitter that fans of a certain age bracket think is an elite offensive player. If he is playing a solid second base he is a quite good all around player. It just feels like the battle lines always end up as you have to think he is HoFer or he sucks.
This is legitimately so funny and unhinged, especially since this comes right after in the email advertisement. No one’s doing it like Bill Penzey.

Like many great businesses I love, Buc-ee’s is pure evil and seeks only to destroy. I still stop there on every road trip unless I’m headed to Austin and can stop at Hruska’s

Along these lines, remember that the Astros front office didn't think the math worked on either the Verlander trade or the Greinke trade. Crane ordered them to make both deals anyway
Chris Towers is Overreacting To Small Sample Sizes@cptowers.bsky.social · 3d agoI understand why the Brewers operate the way they do, and I also think the way they operate is why their regular season success hasn't translated to postseason success. I think this quote is illuminating:

George Pearkes@peark.es · 3d agoThis is a thing people get in to in markets and economy too, where people critique forecasts or trades in the rear view mirror. There are *absolutely* situations where “people should have known” is the correct take but they are a small subset of all failed predictions or blown up trades.

my company (widely distributed across the country) just implemented RTO for workers within 30 miles of an office, which isn't that great a percentage of our workforce, so it's gonna be really weird while all us remote folks have a major job perk that others don't get
