Turns out the slower overall pace and frequency of games is a big plus for baseball. That's because people really like having live background video in their homes while they use the Internet or do whatever else. I'm very serious about this. Baseball is one of the best forms of background "noise" for modern life. 2 hours, 15 minutes, with lots of breaks. And you can always tell when there's action because of the crowd noise. It's 162 games a year over 6 months + playoffs and spring training.

MLB has passed the NBA to become the second most popular pro sport. Quite the comeback, considering how baseball was left for dead a few years back:

@rancho_lonlon Until you enjoy the blowjob, but reflect on it

how much longer must i be subjected to angry virgin teenager opinions on butt sex

@BadWritingTakes If only Monica Lewinsky knew at the time that she just needed to reflect on the blowjob

"Enjoy the blowjob, but REFLECT on it" is taking up resid3nce in my brain, I fear

@GeorgiaMaeCole1 Hes not even the worst PM you've had since Brexit

Who agrees that Keir Starmer is the worst PM we've ever had?

@JoePostingg Bush didnt steal the election. The Republicans who preceded him did. Which highlights the point even further.
English
Bush stole an election and started a war that killed half a million people and destabilized an entire region for literally no reason. Normal Republican Presidents are VERY VERY bad.
Michael O'Bryan@M_BobRyan
Off the top of my head: 1) assassinated Soleimani on a whim 2) openly took personal bribes through Trump hotel in DC and Mar-a-Lago 3) nurtured far right militia violence in the streets If his current term didn’t seem plausible as you saw term 1, that’s an analytical failure.

@ulxma Also need to interrogate if your grievances with men can be easily weaponized against black men, gay men or trans women.
English
My feminist take for today is that we need to interrogate our ‘feminist’ opinions often to see where they converge with misogyny.
Hint: if you spend more time judging other women's choices than advocating for equality, your chances of circling back to misogyny are higher.

@DisinfoIsBad The difference is Mamdani is an excellent communicator and Biden was not.
English
Joe Biden did these type of things every single day, on a much greater scale. Mamdani is a competent technocrat doing normie Dem things to make government work better. And I commend him for it, just like Biden.
The difference is solely how you choose to react to it.

This is a side effect of the higher rates of social isolation among Gen Z. It's not pointed out much but envy (or Nietzsche's "ressentiment") is a powerful driver of social culture and politics, up to and include sexual envy that manifests on the surface as "puritanism".
princess ౨ৎ@puppetgrl_
gen z has demonized sex & sexual desire so much that we’ve forgotten sex and desiring people is a natural, normal, healthy thing lol. having absolutely no sex drive and never wanting to have sex w the person you like is not normal. idk why it’s seen as being “lustful”

@bdquinn I feel like this is whats going to happen in 2029

The 2009 Dem supermajority was a consequence of Dems having a very, very big tent in 2006 and 2008 after the trauma of losing in 2004. Once they actually had to try to have a coherent governing agenda, oh boy. Things fell apart in a hurry.
Hunter📈🌈📊@StatisticUrban
The Obama 2009 Senate supermajority might be the fakest supermajority ever. It lasted only 72 working days while the Senate was in session, due to Franken being seated late and Ted dying. And it was full of 2009-era red-state conservadems that make 2021 Manchin look like AOC.

@GroovySciFi Biden's big mistake was this is the type of thing you're supposed to do in your 2nd term
English
Biden fumbled a lot of foreign policy issues but pulling out of Afghanistan was his best act as president. No way to lose in a clean way, you just have to rip the band aid off. Obama was too deferential to his experts. Biden had the backbone to say "I don't care".

@RossBarkan Theres a "town elects dog to be its mayor" element to the 2016 election that I dont think the history books will be able to accurately capture.
English
Something the Gen Alpha generation will never understand is how absolutely insane it was for Donald Trump to end up president at all. He'll be viewed retroactively now - *of course* he loomed over the 2010s and 2020s - but that original perspective, one day, will be lost to time

@benlandautaylor Most revolutions are not waged by people who would sacrifice their lives to pay less in taxes
English
The reason the American Revolution had results so different from every other revolution is that, properly speaking, the "American Revolution" wasn’t a revolution at all, it was a provincial rebellion. That is, it wasn’t a centralizing cadre dissolving and replacing the social order by means of violence directed from the core, it was a province breaking its allegiance to the capital while leaving the existing social structures basically intact.
