Let’s normalize this. It’s ridiculous to go to a minor league baseball or hockey game and pay $20 for a beer.

@kenzianidiot I want to know the verdict on the football short pants.

my dad goes to a bar with his friends every friday and he makes a list of discussion topics pt 83

@LawrenceKS_PD Whoever wrote this is a fantastic human that I want to be friends with. Thanks @x for putting this on my algorithm.

Snow storms in Lawrence: A thread. 1. If you're leaving your house because you have to work, just be careful. If you're leaving your house for a mango rhubarb slushee, first of all, gross, second of all, you don't need it.

@swabregimen @VPasquantino He’s a Royal.

@VPasquantino Vin come play for the Mets

@DannJolly @Mod2Severe @JustineBateman I was going to say this! I get learning the game and loving it but the learning how it feels to win and feels to lose is so important. You can’t better unless you fail.

@Mod2Severe @JustineBateman Many kids leagues do not keep score. Seriously.

This is one of the consequences of the “trophies-for-everyone” upbringing of the early 21st century. Basically, children were shielded from processing emotionally challenging experiences. My theory is that their parents were the first generation that en masse went to therapy, and learned that much of their negative feelings about themselves were due to how their parents treated them. Most of these parents did the work and recovered from that experience. However, they also vowed to ensure that their own children would not be on a couch in 20 years, having to recover from these parents themselves. And so, these parents bubble-wrapped their kids’ feelings. They didn’t want them to experience defeat (hence trophies for everyone, and not just the winners). They eliminated the experience of a kid not being a guest and not the focus at a birthday party (by making sure the departing gift bags everyone got were full of items of greater value than the present they themselves brought). They eliminated the experience of the kids working out conflicts themselves (by the teachers at the schools insisting that the kids come to them immediately when a conflict with another kid arose). They eliminated the kid experiencing the poor results of not having done the class assignments (by parents calling teachers on the kids’ behalf to get a better grade (including college, btw)). All to say, this was child abuse. These parents handicapped these kids by not letting them process defeat, disappointment, being left out, frustration, etc as children, so they could build those coping skills. And so, now you have a whole batch of adults processing all that for the very first time, with no practice, and no muscles in those areas. Truly handicapped. Hopefully, these now-adults will learn these lessons on their own, but that takes guts. Now you know why this batch of kids created the Victim Olympics for their present-day adult selves.

GORILLAS WIN‼️ #13 Pitt State goes to Maryville and beats Northwest Missouri State 23-7 🦍🏈 The Gorillas have won three straight in the series against the Bearcats.

That's our Skipper! Matt Quatraro has been named a 2024 American League Manager of the Year Finalist!

@MRedmond52 Our rule is to root for who pays the bills.

It’s hard to be a fan (alumni) of both… Go Monarchs!!!

HALFTIME #6 Pitt State leads #9 Central Oklahoma 28-14 at halftime in Edmond 🦍🏈 UCO will receive the second half kickoff.

A Dodgers/Yankees World Series was the best possible outcome for MLB and the worst possible outcome for anyone who actually likes baseball

Meanwhile in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

One step at a time.

I wore my @VPasquantino jersey to work today at ODU. Braves fan told me he’s pulling for the @Royals and @Mets fan (also in a jersey) said he’s pulling for the Royals and not holding 2015 against us. The common denominator is everyone hates the Yankees. #BlueOctober
