it's gotta be embarrassing to be a shortstop and explain to people what you do. yeah i'm an infielder. no i'm not the guy who throws it. no i don't have my own base. huh? no no, it's totally cool with ballpark security, they told me i can stand out there. hm? no, not "sportstop." shortstop. mhm

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

Finally got around to listening to Angine de Poitrine and my overwhelming feeling is that I’d rather be listening to Vulfpeck or the Fearless Flyers. Still, fun stuff and I get why it went viral for a lot of folks.

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

Having a Democratic Toledo council person (Mac Driscoll) try to justify why he voted in favor of Flock cameras has me feeling deflated in a way I wasn’t expecting. I expect folks in DC or Columbus to be ghoulish, but when it’s a neighbor I previously voted for and endorsed, it feels like a gut punch

It's funny that the newspapers treat DSA-endorsed candidates like they are Bastille-storming revolutionaries when in reality DSA members are almost comically procedure oriented
