@nut_history I was there. Greatest sporting event I’ve ever seen live.
English
Still one of the best pitching performances I have ever seen
And the fact that it was his first postseason game makes it more special
English
When I say “pinch hitter” who’s the first player that pops in your head?

@eaner0919 Man, I thought he had no chance after the knockdowns. What amazing guts to stay in there and fight like he did in the second half of that bout.
English
That's my coach!
Wooooooo Pablito Rubio did it! In spite of the 2 knockdowns he scrambles for the win!
English
@snboxing Highly enjoyable fight. Definitely going to look to see both of these guys again.

@smod4real Use of a hyphen that should be an em-dash. Yup, you’re human.

Purposefully flouting rules of grammar and punctuation is now become necessary to authenticate your writing - i.e. to establish that it was not written by AI.

"As determined as he looked, this book sets out the case that Marvelous Marvin was in fact even tougher than any of us knew." Our review of "Blood and Hate," the new book on a great champ's rise to the top. Check it out: thefightcity.com/marvelous-marv… #Boxing From @JoshuaIsard

@cynthia_conte @Claressashields @MikaelaMayer1 @SalitaProm @DAZNBoxing I think the world of Mikaela Mayer. Amazing fighter, Olympian, seems like a wonderful person. But I don’t think she can hang with Shields. Claressa probably knocks her out. The GWOAT is just on another level.

Bring on @Claressashields vs @MikaelaMayer1 next pleaseeee

@MattWelch Besides, we won’t have a Jewish president any time soon.

Also, @AmericanGwyn is a great writer. Dog On The Cross is one of the best collections of contemporary fiction I've read. This is the kind of person you all want to listen to.

I don't know how this became at all controversial among writers. I ask my students to read as much as they can. I try to do the same. It's vital for developing writing skills.
Also, as the great Charlie Munger said:

Sometimes a student in one of my fiction writing classes will come see me during office hours and inform me they’re going to be a novelist. I always ask the same question: “Who are your favorite authors?” An alarming number of students can’t name a single novelist. Not one.
English
@glensharp33 100%. I don’t know why people think it’d be any other way.
English
I would not be able to think about the writing I try to fit in my day. You have to see what people have done with language if you want to be a writer, just as you need to seriously listen to music if you want to be a serious musician.
English
Surprised this is so controversial. I am in a situation now with aging family members and increased domestic responsibilities that I have no time for recreational, and little time for professional, reading, but if not for the 30 years of literary reading I have put in/1
