Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more futuristic than they originally predicted. 🇵🇸 | he/him | @battingaround.bsky.social

the el-sayed win shows yet again that centrists are now everything they always claim the left is when it comes to israel: ideologically rigid, in hock to extremists, mistaking online beefs (ie hasan) for mass politics—and toxic to the electorate.

If you think Democrats taking back the senate is out of reach because El-Sayed is winning the Michigan primary, I don't know what to tell you. There is no planet where someone as odd/off-putting as Stephens was the more electable of the two.

Zero rich Republicans — literally zero — send their kids to trade school. But they push trade school relentlessly on the middle class. It's interesting!

Love drone footage of new builds in exurban Texas, gives me a very particular kind of dread to look at that is hard to replicate with other photos.

Congratulations to the Phillies, who have at very least earned the poorly drawn "You Tried" star for when their season inevitably ends in a completely humiliating fashion.

It's probably been obvious that, despite having a baseball podcast and a partial season ticket plan, my overall baseball fandom has been hanging by a thread the past year and a half. And I'm gonna be so real with you right now: Brooks Raley is not helping.

Today Grande announced she is stepping away from the public because of how mean people have been. So I'm sharing this again and begging you read it as it contains excellent info about how to have these convos without doing more harm
