@Mitch_Seattle Great episode! Loved the bonus Mariners content

We expanded Brady Farkas’ role as Wally Pipp - er I mean Hot Shot Scott Soden - took a week off. Farkas’ agent has already contacted me trying to jumpstart negotiations on a long term deal to co-host the Monday show. 🤣

@Mitch_Seattle @MattMikolas slicky is right on the jersey thing 🙂

@Mitch_Seattle @ScottSoden @BradyHenderson @JacsonBevens @BigRayRoberts @PuckSports @MattMikolas @dannyoneil Great show!

37 years ago today sgt Al Powell investigated a prank call and ended up saving countless lives at nakatomi plaza

@arash_tehran I think you have a small point if the worker did this outside of work. Even then, keeping her is questionable. But the fact that this happened at work makes this a necessary decision.

I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things. Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.

Tracking Paul’s footsteps through modern Turkey seems a good moment to reiterate: Christianity is entirely incompatible with any form of ethnonationalism or ‘national conservatism’. Indeed that is part of its point.

@ChipotleTweets Hi, I had 10,000 points that expired 6 days ago and I had no idea they were expiring. Is there any way I can get them back?

@philvischer please tell me this is getting covered in NOTB: iflscience.com/chimps-are-sti…

@brianfagioli Not sure what's going on with BetaNews these days, but I like what you're doing on the new site.

Sonics Forever.

@petridishes I wish The Atlantic allowed comments like the old place did. Great stuff as always, I hope when your son is old enough to know what is going on, that this will be just stupid old history that no one will believe could have actually happened.

I am back, for a certain value of back! theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…

@TheAtlantic @JudithShulevitz Really great job navigating the biblical/theological/historical complexities of the early Christian movement. Great nuances in the book review.

What should we make of miracles? A new book searches for the narrative origins of Jesus’s most wondrous acts, @JudithShulevitz writes: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@MattMikolas I'm with you on changing Mariners fandom. For me it starts with deleting the MLB app from my phone and just trying to ignore them this year. See where it goes after that. 😥

Since its Election Day, never forget when Deez Nuts got 9% of the vote in North Carolina in 2016 😂

@Mitch_Seattle I can't believe that you were right about the Seahawks game. Just when you think you have the NFL figured out...

@CJHandmer Genealogy on my dad's side goes back to an ancestor who came to North America in 1635. All my ancestors missed service in U.S. wars, and I think that's partly why I'm here.

People generally have no idea how much the past sucked. It's fun to study history but anyone who genuinely romanticizes the past I struggle to take seriously. Even the recent past was miserable by comparison with today, but the pre-industrial era was a total horror show on every axis continually. Reply here with your hypothetical pre-modern name, location, and year of birth and I'll give a quick summary of how your life went. I'll start with a historical character, my 5th great grandfather John Jones, born ~1812 in northern Wales. Illiterate. Orphaned. Laborer. Married at age 33 (already ahead of 75% of other men in that era), 12 children, all but 2 died in childhood, moved (voluntarily) to Australia in 1849, financially ruined at least twice, alcoholic, wife died suddenly aged ~45, unable to care for surviving children, who variously ran away, ended up in some hellish convict era Australian orphanage, drowned, etc. Disappeared in custody c. 1860.
