@bccnya Eventually. Our other two 1Bs had their ladies in attendance last night so I happily stayed on the bench and drafted my fantasy team

Proud to join a short but distinguished list of Munsons who wear #15 and captain iconic baseball franchises. Pacific League season opener is tonight. LFG

@MrErickVazquez It's really wild to me how folks build followings on the backs of other people's content.

A screening of my friend's new movie started at halftime. Did something happen with the Husker basketball team? Go see Ready Or Not 2, btw.

@FeitCanWrite Knowing the founder a bit and contributing there in its earliest days, the fall of Deadspin will never not be fascinating to me. They captured lightning in a bottle with such a specific voice and identity that no one has been able to replicate it

@GRIMMnM We pedaled our bikes by them every morning and never once did anyone think to break out their flip phone to capture a grainy pic

@GRIMMnM They filmed the mountain race on a closed road in Griffith Park and for a few weeks, the cars were all just parked wherever they stopped filming for the day. They were guarded closely but it's genuinely funny to think what a scene they'd cause today.

It has been a little less than a year since I've watched Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. It has been too long since I've watched Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.

We’re going to see a lot of height changes this year because, with the rollout of ABS, MLB is now measuring each player's height down to the millimeter. The process is super strict — no shoes, no hats, knees exposed, back against the wall — and to account for potential shrinkage throughout the day, MLB is even requiring all its teams to take measurements between 10 am and 12 pm local time on their appointed day.

THAT IS SOME SERIOUS SHRINKAGE

@markus85cali @BrianAbbe @JoePompliano I'm sorry it's going over your head that umpires now have to guess at the percentages of a player's height vs the fixed points of reference they've been using since the last century and the fact that their game height is different than their official height doesn't help

@themunson @BrianAbbe @JoePompliano Except *every player. Thats the point. You don't understand the difference between absolute and relative. If every player is wearing cleats, then you take their strike zone and move the entire thing up 1/2 an inch (maybe, at most, 1 full inch for the entire shoe).

@markus85cali @BrianAbbe @JoePompliano With the traditional strike zone, umpires were easily able to eyeball the bottom of any player's knee and midpoint between their belt and shoulders but now they have to literally guess at percentages of a player's height to fit the ABS zone.

@markus85cali @BrianAbbe @JoePompliano Except a player is suddenly a 1-2 inches taller in their cleats. And given the unique physiological structure of every player, 53.5% and 27% of a player's height can be in dramatically different spots from one player to the next in a batting order.

@markus85cali @BrianAbbe @JoePompliano But surely you can understand that adding any sort of height to a player makes it much harder for an umpire to determine what 53.5% and 27% of their height (the new strike zone limits) in their bare feet is, right.

@BrianAbbe @JoePompliano Surely you've played sports and know how cleats work? Not to mention that shoes, socks, and helmets are a universal addition to height, which is why they are excluded.

@andylanechapman The real kicker is this is essentially the same event Mastercard used to do and only charged $150-200 for and most of the time they'd hit you with a "priceless surprise" and let you bring a friend. The swag bag alone was always worth more than the ticket too.

@themunson Wild. The kid was telling me about an orangutan who could unlock his enclosure, would roam the zoo, watch other animals, sit on benches then go lock himself back in for bed. No issues, except he’d throw stuff, poke and hit a neighbor orangutan

A cougar lived in Griffith Park (and roamed the adjacent neighborhoods) for over a decade and its most unexpected kill was snagging a koala bear from the LA Zoo. Try to stop being such a stupid fuck, Christopher.
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo

The craziest thing about Newsom's $100 million wildlife bridge is that it will allow cougars, an apex predator, direct access into a suburban neighborhood filled with pets, children, and the elderly. It's like the radical environmentalist version of The Purge.

@SimbaSimms_ Yeah. They were doing morning roll call at the Zoo and a Koala bear was missing. It was truly some wild stuff. But in all seriousness, cougar attacks are way more rare than shark attacks. npr.org/sections/thetw…
