Dan Petty

Things have finally started to settle down. Gonna start doing Twitter more. Name is Dan and I’m an underemployed historian tweeting about whales, water, and life in Oswego on the shores of Lake Ontario, occasionally #BlueJays baseball.

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ HATE CRIME A RACIST group of WHITE MALES BEAT a BLACK TEENAGER while screaming RACIAL SLURS in a Regal Cinemas parking lot. 📍Simi Valley, California Witnesses say one of the violent white thugs was Jonah Collado who is the son of a local police officer Gene Collado. Michael the victim suffered a concussion, a chipped tooth, and other injuries. Michael who was beaten by a mob of white males deserves justice.

One day I will see this silly story be used by some oceanic historian in very well received book chapter and I love them for that in advance!

Be friends with autistic history nerds. They understand and appreciate your out of pocket Alfred Thayer Mahan jokes.

This produces some theologically hilarious results. 😂

Computer scientist reveals he is unable to comprehend basic humanities discussions.

Homophone aside: Why is it kickoff at 7:30 when just the national anthem starts at 7:30? First pitch is 7:07 the pitcher throws the ball at 7:07.

@EvanPSullivan Broadening to early America I think Christine Delucia’s Memory Lands handles the complexities of memory in a settler-colonial state excellently. I’d also recommend the 4 part “history under siege” radio program from the ABC. Stay qualified.

@trevorplouffe Dude just created a west coast evil empire and we’re supposed to give him that treatment!

I’ve been asking for “Dark Shohei” ever since I saw his eyes after winning the WBC. I personally don’t think it’s deserved but now I know for sure he will get an earful from fans on the road. I’m very curious to see how it all plays out.

Old school American exceptionalism in reporters whose job it is to cover a sport where the best player is Japanese and the fastest growing demographic is Latino is wild to me.

@roywoodjr What’s their rotation look like 👀👀

I’m a Blue Jays fan as much as anyone but you’re fooling yourself if you don’t think the Canadian issue is not a factor in signing top level free agents. It may not be the money or the culture but it damn well is the baseball media that make one reconsider. It’s a damn shame.

I don’t hate Yankees or Dodger fans but boy am I excited to talk crap about every loss this season just because their fan bases are obnoxious beyond belief.

Excited to see what @JOLaMaKina @KevinGausman and @27vladdyjr put together this season. Feed off the hate!

@JoezMcfLy You been posting as if it was ridiculous to think he’d even come to Toronto. It was erroneous and that’s cool I’ll eat that but I’d argue the whole let’s laugh at Jays fans for being excited about their front office attempting big moves is bad for the game overall. All love pop!

@danpetty5 I said you are dumb?

My thing is… if you lost out on ohtani dont try to say hes trash now or try to say hes not worth that because you actually did want him to sign with your team … is he suddenly not worth it now? How oh hes worth 650 but not 700? Lol cope

Super excited to add the Dodgers to the list of petty hate.

1. Yankees fans are and will always be the most obnoxious fans in sports. 2.Toronto absolutely is in a worse place now than at the start of the offseason, buy in wise. 3.The same 3 teams getting the big names is not good for baseball. 4.Good on Shohei for getting his bag.
