@BBGreatMoments I remember going to Detroit a few months after this and driving by the stadium and thinking “he hit one off the roof of that?!?“ it’s insane how far he hit that ball.

@thats_bb_suzyn I went to the Trop a couple of years ago and it really wasn’t bad. I enjoyed my time there.

Pick your poison:
(1) Your lifelong team since childhood is the Pirates or Rockies. Noncompetitive almost every year for the last 30 years. But the stadium is gorgeous. Even when the team stinks, it’s a great place to spend 3 hours of your time, bring the kids, make memories.
(2) Your lifelong team since childhood is the Rays. The front office is filled with analytics geniuses. You’re in the playoffs about half the time. Hal Steinbrenner is openly jealous of how you can win more games than the Yankees with a fraction of his payroll. But the ballpark is a dump, it was obsolete before it opened, possibly the worst place on earth to spend three hours of your day.

Very interesting concept. I never thought about the justice system being there simply to perpetuate itself, but that certainly possible.
Jon 🔬@JonnyMicro
The zillionth time he’s skated. What is the “justice” system even for? For procedural motions and performative actions. The system is not designed to help society, it’s designed to perpetuate itself.

"Capitalism created the possibility of the win win win. It used to be a zero sum game where somebody won, somebody else lost.
The biggest mistake people make, intellectuals in particular, they still think we're in a zero sum world. They're obsessed with some billionaires because Bernie Sanders thinks that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk somehow stole the money from the people.
They don't understand that it's this prosperity machine that's creating more, not just for those billionaires, but for everything that they're touching. They're creating value for their customers, they're creating value for their employees. Their suppliers are flourishing, their investors are seeing their capital go up. It can be reinvested and compound.
All philanthropy ultimately comes from business. That's where the profits are.
Where does all the taxes come from? It ultimately comes from business as well.
This is the engine that's lifting humanity out. The entrepreneurs are the drivers of that engine. Somebody like Elon Musk, he gets a very, very, very tiny sliver of the value that he creates for the whole world."

@shadihamid @washingtonpost Raises the question, if immigrant groups want to retain their native culture rather than assimilate, why immigrate in the first place?

My new @washingtonpost column:
Why do Muslims need to be like everyone else? A case against assimilation.

When you talk to liberals about rent, rent control, landlording, etc, you almost always walk away feeling like they have a very limited, almost childish understanding of markets and incentives.
For example, you'll hear them talk a lot about the cost of maintenance. And, indeed, in the FAQ about Providence's new rent control initiative, they appear to have thought about no other reasons it might be necessary or desirable for landlord's to raise rent. There's just "tax increases" and "all other reasons," by which they clearly mean, "maintenance."
They do not understand markets. They don't factor the cost of capital. They don't think in terms of opportunity costs. They don't think of investors as rational actors with alternative options.
They can reason only in terms of direct inputs and outputs.

@iJordanMoore I’m pretty sure I couldn’t even make contact if I was just trying to bunt.

There are many things to dislike about progressivism, even just from a purely aesthetic point of view, and so we spend a lot of time on here ridiculing it on that basis, but it’s important always to remember that the main problem with progressivism is that it’s not true.
It’s actually just not true that accidentally running over your sister when you’re seven years old is the equivalent of murdering someone or committing some other violent crime.
It’s actually just not true that most people in prison are innocent.
It’s actually just not true that most of the people in prison committed their crime unintentionally.
When you talk to progressives, what you find is that they hold views about the world that are just simply not true.
Maybe the aesthetics would still be bad, even if their claims were true, but their claims are not true.

Gavin Newsom's wife recalls telling prisoners at San Quentin about running over and killing her sister with a golf cart. She said that she wasn't punished because it was an accident but that the prisoners are doing life even though theirs was "probably an accident too."

@USNoleFan @TheCinesthetic It was a very rough scene for sure. Great movie though.
