@LichQueenSpeaks @rebeccawatson It's actually hilarious how blue check used to (mostly) mean "reliable source" and now it means "one of the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet."

I left SGU bc I’d already spent years as the sole progressive fighting their Libertarian conservative bent. finally gave up when I was the alt-right target. This loser is so far-right his brains are absolutely stewed & he’s so angry he’s posting this 10 years after I left

Quick story. One of the first podcasts I ever followed, back in late 2009, was The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe. It was interesting and sciency and I learned quite a bit until the constant drumbeat of leftwing politics turned me off and I gave it up. Rebecca was the most avowedly left-wing member of the podcast and has not lost a step in the last 15 years. The thing that always fascinated me about that entire crew - and her specifically - is that they never treated the other side of the political aisle like a science experiment. They never probed, never studied, never attempted to understand. Instead, they twisted and straw manned and lied. They could break down pareidolia with a surgeon's precision, but anything even bordering on politics was only ever framed with a progressive caricature of the personalities or issues at hand. I don't know that Rebecca, or any of the other hosts, has ever addressed this dichotomy - which is clear as day to anyone to the right of AOC - and I would, sincerely, like to understand the answer. TL:DR, I occasionally think about what this crew is up to now and am disappointed (but not surprised) when I find out it's the same, tired schtick.

@rebeccawatson Lol I gave up when Evan Bernstein started shamelessly pushing the far-right agenda of not replacing Antonin Scalia when he died. This guys take is wild.

@katiopolis You're not stupid but maybe you don't realize how bad Google has become. It is just genuinely easier sometimes to ask ChatGPT than it is to sift through all of Googles sponsored nonsense and Reddit posts

maybe i’m stupid but i genuinely don’t understand what people use chat gpt for. like what can that do for you that googling and thinking can’t

@SaraCivian I was looking for you earlier today!
Once you and like 2 other people are over there I can delete this app for good
English
I will be creating an account on the other site, but I wanted to remind everyone that I started a newsletter where we have a chat room & watch games together! A month in and we're getting a flow. The more people who don't suck (I curate) the merrier. We're watching Thursday's slate together and I hope it's the most interactive/fun yet! Maybe I'll think of some prizes for overtime/goal scorers/hot takes!

@DSzymborski I've always found MOY voting to be a bit arrogant. It's basically "this team won more games than I thought they would, and my projections can't be wrong, so it must be that the manager adds some secret X factor."
English
In this case, the model thinks the top three AL managers were Matt Quatraro (86, +30, +13), A.J. Hinch (86, +25, +8), and Stephen Vogt (92, +16, +7)
English
Manager of the Year is a funny award. Manager is the least statistical, but the award winner that is the easiest to model; it's wins, wins relative to the prior season, and wins relative to projections.

@qourtneycuinn @molly0xFFF @broderick I'll add Monarch as another one you can try. It has more than replaced Mint for me.

@molly0xFFF @broderick what budgeting app do you use? I’m still lost without Mint.

My subscription to @broderick’s Garbage Day newsletter renewed, which means it was time for my annual moment of confusion followed by a chuckle as I try to figure out why my budgeting software thinks I’m paying for trash collection services

@rebeccawatson Im not American but I wonder what % of this is a reading comprehension fail, because I don't feel like that is very well worded (if that sentence was all they were going off of.)

it's comforting that I live in the liberal stronghold of california oh sorry what's that? we couldn't get a majority population to outlaw slavery? and our politicians didn't do it for us? well nevertheless

@Kappa_Kappa Sometimes when a dog whimpers a bit while asleep I wonder what the "forgot to study for the test" dream is for them.

@Jyrki21 There is nothing more important in our sport than avoiding overtime. I was ready to turn the game off as yet another draw.

@caitiedelaney No. It's just the app sucks and its owner is fucking stupid.

I keep losing followers. What??? Just because my tweets suck and are fucking stupid??? Grow up

@ellorysmith Omg the amount of time rich, retired boomers spend blowing leaves around

@DSzymborski I'm excited about it. Give me a clash of the titans over Rufus vs Doofus like we had last year

Not the most imaginative World Series matchup, but hopefully we'll get a break from people crying that the Dodgers and Yankees aren't in the World Series because their offenses aren't based on a shitty second baseman bunting over the leadoff man.

So, I saw somebody use "SCRUM," which is not correct—Scrum is not an acronym. Got me wondering what it would stand for if it _was_ an acronym, though 😄. Whadda you think?

@rebeccawatson Disturbing how obsessed these weirdos have gotten

normal ppl: wow this story about a Garth Brooks serial killer conspiracy theory is wild

@SydneyBattle Sucks. If it makes you feel any better, your acct is basically one of the last reasons to even use this app

i can’t believe this app is reaching rock bottom before i could use it to fully leverage myself into the career of my dreams

@SydneyBattle I love that area! Is it where "ditch please" was filmed?
English
and do NOT try to call baltimore the dmv…. do the words “dc metro area” mean nothing to you people 🤧🤧🤧🤧
Sydney Battle@SydneyBattle
no one: me: there’s a common misconception that the “dmv” refers to dc, maryland, and virginia as a whole and that is deeeeeply incorrect. it includes dc, NORTHERN virginia (fredericksburg…. don’t kid urself), and PARTS of southern maryland. do not piss me off

DJs are so funny cuz they're just queuing up their Spotify playlist but they're always up there with their headphones on turning random knobs pretending like they're doing something and I can relate to that
