@leaffan3491 Might as well start the rebuild this year instead of waiting until 2028 to get a top 5 pick.

Possibly the worst call in baseball history.

@enosarris sorry to hear about the “butternut squash” incident.
Try using a Y-peeler, way faster and safer than a chefs knife.

@JDBunkis I don’t think anybody can ever make it make sense to me or you. It’s either a home run or fan interference. It can’t be both right.?
I’m surprised Schneider didn’t get tossed. He was really pissed and had every right to be.

@McPhoxez @RonShandler For you should really be rebranded to “I want to be outraged”. I scroll that side for the pure entertainment value.

@RonShandler Have you selected “For You” or “Following”?
I never ever use “For You” and don’t have this problem

Wow. Elon Musk has taken over my X feed. It used to be filled with anti-Trump posts, memes and clips, which are feeds I would follow. Now it's inundated with anti-Kamala propaganda. It reeks of desperation. Does he really think it will change my mind? Just annoying now.

Just been one of those days:
"Tired as fuck
I want to stop so much I almost don't want to stop
See now then
Can't and won't
Will and can"
On a good note, blue moon tonight!!

@troyhunt @home_assistant Automatic setting of the clock is also nice. It reduces the amount of “flashing 12:00 after a power failure” in my house, which is a good thing.

But the thing I find genuinely useful is status updates and integration back into @home_assistant. Knowing when the washing machine has just finished via a push notification to the watch and voice over our Sonos is genuinely useful and we rely on that every single day.

Went down a sneaker design rabbit hole after seeing this tweet. Time well spent!

In 1985, Nike held a 24-hour shoe design contest. Nike was struggling. Their stock dropped 50%. They had to lay off people. Adidas, Converse, & Reebok were all selling more shoes. So in a panicked attempt to find creative talent, Nike held a shoe design contest. The winner was A corporate architect named Tinker Hatfield. "Two days after the competition," he said, "I wasn't even asked—I was told that I was now a footwear designer for Nike." As he got to work on his first official shoe design, he thought about a building he had studied in architecture school: The Centre Pompidou in Paris. The Centre Pompidou is an inside-out building, meaning that the structural, mechanical, and circulation systems are all exposed. “That building,” Tinker said, “was describing what it was to the people of Paris. And I thought, ‘Well why not do that with a shoe? Let’s cut a hole in the side and show what’s in the shoe.’” So Tinker designed an inside-out shoe: The Air Max 1. The Air Max 1 was a massive success, and it steered Nike's design direction from then on. "To this day," Tinker says, "Phil Knight says I saved Nike." Takeaway 1: Had he not studied that building in Paris, Tinker says, he couldn’t have created the Air Max. Creativity, he says, is a function of the “library in your head." “When you sit down to create something...what you create is a culmination of everything you’ve seen and done previous to that point.” Takeaway 2: Tinker Hatfield went to architecture school and then he was a corporate architect for 4.5 years. Then, literally overnight, he became one of the best shoe designers in the world. This makes me think of a counter-intuitive discovery made by psychologist Charles Spearman in 1904. Before Spearman, the natural assumption was that the more you specialize in one thing, the worse you’ll be at other things. Instead, Spearman discovered "the positive manifold" phenomenon. He found that different abilities tend to be positively correlated. That the expertise gained through specialization is transferrable. That the cognitive and creative abilities cultivated as an architect could positively correlate with being a shoe designer. - - - "Creativity is a function of the previous work you put in." — Robert Greene Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!

@ScottyMitchTSN I don’t think it’s about improving on manoah performance, it’s more about giving manoah a chance to adjust away from the harsh spotlight of MLB.

@mike_petriello I remember the market for him being tepid, and then out of the blue the Padres came up with a 8/144 offer. I don’t know what Boras told them, but he earned every penny of his fee on that negotiation.

A ring, a big contract, an ASG MVP. That's a successful career no matter how you slice it. It's just that baseball is wildly different in 2023 than it was in 11, when he came up. He was around for such monumental change in how the game is played, & how players like he are viewed.

Eric Hosmer got DFA'd today. 67 OPS+ for the Cubs. I kind of wonder if that's the last we'll see of him. What a really interesting career if so.
