@MarketsWithMB "10s-2s" 😆. I sure do miss those weekly lessons.

@countyhwy @sassyklaas @MariolleJan Wow. Awful response to a legitimate criticism. The font IS too small.

Why not? Its a simple, easy to use website, just like any other website. You can make the type-size as large as you want. We spent tens of thousands of dollars of our own money developing it precisely to make it possible for older readers and people with poorer eyesight to read the paper. Our newspaper is printed using standard newspaper-sized type. Making that type larger would spoil the look of the paper while adding pages and making it more expensive to print and ship. And no, we are not going to publish seventeen different versions of the physical newspaper to accomodate seventeen types of reader with poor eyesight. Thats exactly what the website is for.

We broke the Somali fraud story on November 12. It triggered a landslide. But what people are refusing to understand is that nothing about this story was ever secret or hidden from public view. It was all out in the open, for years.

Name a Houston Astro. I’ll start:

@DavidBCollum just finished 2024, first time buying the printed book, fantastic because I never got through the PDFs in previous years. Please tell Moriarty I’d pay extra for color and a better font. Looking forward to 2025. You’re right (and early) about Platinum!

@dnewhall68 @Super70sSports Another great Charleston Charlie

Name an Oakland Athletic. I’ll start:

@Super70sSports If you had said “name a Charleston Charlie” then: yes. I’ll go with this woefully underrated bastard:

@caroljsroth HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET has to be in top 5. Far superior to HBO-y THE WIRE. BREAKING BAD #1 for the progression for me. SOPRANOS might make my top 100 but barely. Good call on FAUDA tho.

What are your top 5 TV series of all time? For me: -The Wire -The Sopranos -The Americans -Fauda -Peaky Blinders Severance is definitely in the conversation, especially based on it's uniqueness...

@Super70sSports Uncle Biff

Today’s generation will never comprehend the power of basic cable television in the 80s. If you doubt it, I’ll have you know there are members of the 1982 Atlanta Braves that I still consider extended family.

@LukeGromen serious question from a long time TreeRings subscriber: is there any sense in revaluing the USD vs SILVER? Or some combination of Au+Ag? I see no discussion of this but there are crazier ideas…

Two of the former Treasury Secretaries writing the NYT op-ed today were part of "The Committee to Save the World" in 1998. Before considering their advice, ask yourself: How has the US' relative global position done since 1998, & how has Summers' & Rubin's relative wealth done?

@DrieksCombrinck @joshyoung this.

@joshyoung Reagan did not have record debt to GDP figures to deal with

History rhymes but does not necessarily repeat. Onerous taxes and regulations in the 1970s, along with poor fiscal discipline, were the underlying causes of the two inflation waves. Reagan ended this with deregulation and tax cuts. Trump can do the same.

@infraa_ @LukeGromen Same question.

@LukeGromen What is the level you are watching for on the DXY and the 10yr yield as a signal of treasury market stress?

1/ I’m recording a 5-10 min YouTube video tonight to be released later this week; pls drop some questions below & I’ll touch on as many as I can on a best efforts basis. Thx! (Also, pls feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel.)

@ace225luv Tim Kaine

Yea I said it that woman is slow af

Word is that NBC has managed to finally secure the music rights necessary to sell Homicide: Life On The Streets" to a streaming platform. Andre, Richard, Yaphet, Ned, and so many others who labored on that wonderful show on both sides of the camera will soon regain a full share of their legacy. Stay tuned for more details. #HLOTS #FontanaLevinson

@nut_history Rusty Kuntz, duh

Greatest names in MLB history. Post it in this 🧵 I’ll go first: Coco Crisp

@FredricksRay @Super70sSports good call - CHICO is my fav too

If you recognize where this is from, you’re my kind of fucking individual … 👉 super70ssportsstore.com/products/sweat…

@Olivia_Reingold Probelle Anti-Bite. You cant eat with your fingers the first week, but it works better than anything I’ve tried. Good luck.

@kflorenz1 @notgaetti Utley peak yrs way better. Both Hall of Very Good for me.

@notgaetti Revisiting Lou is 👍, Whitaker is ABSOLUTELY more a HOFer than Utley!! If 5 years of "elite" performance is now Hall of Fame criteria: Allen, Murphy, Belle, Mattingly, Delgado, Tejada, JuanGo, Kent, etc. all should be in!! Baines/Mazeroski diminished HOF; makes it Hall of Good

Not enough people talk about Lou Whitaker: • Higher WAR (75.1) than Sandberg and Alomar • Higher OPS+ than Beltre and Ripken • 3x GG, 5x ASG, 1984 WS Champ • More walks than strikeouts • Half of MLB's longest-tenured double play tandem with HOF'er Alan Trammell Somehow, just a one-and-done on his only HOF ballot (2.9% of the vote in 2001). An injustice!
