Not if you never connect it to your internet. Or so I am led to believe.

He is obviously not in The Big Club.

Trump kept Noem onboard because she turned certain cities into militarized war zone, and because she kept certain kinds of children in concentration camps, and because she was arresting and deporting certain American citizens, and because she racially profiled people of color indiscriminately, and because she posed in front of certain kinds of people in foreign prisons, and because she failed to respond to floods that killed people because it saved the government money. These aren’t things he merely tolerates—these are things he explicitly demands. She got fired because she started getting negative coverage in the RWM. That kind of coverage in the MSM is a plus. Not in Fox or Newsmax.

Spring training is about working on process, not stats.

This gave me the idea to ask Claude what the opening day roster should be, based on ZIPS projection for 2026, and this is what it came up with: Remember that ZIPS is kind of a blunt instrument and doesn't take spring training into consideration, but this ain't a half-bad-looking roster. Verlander isn't on it because Claude sees him as a starter only, and he is the seventh-best starter according to ZIPS. Interestingly, Reese Olson projected as the #6 starter, behind Drew Anderson from Korea. ZIPS thinks this would be close to a 100-win team even without a projected superstar.

I can still press one button and just start watching, although my remote can turn on both the TV set and the DTV box at the same time.

It’s humiliating only if they are actually shamed by it.

Also there’s a good one panel comic that could be made of Gen Z kids watching their streaming sports through their phones while making fun of what a dinosaur a Boomer/Gen X guy is for being uncool enough to watch the exact same event through their satellite or cable on their 80” 4K TV.

That’s one of the things I like about being a dinosaur with DirecTV satellite: it has never logged me out for god knows what reason and forced me to painfully input one character of my very long password at a time through a TV remote to get back in.

No doubt. That’s what I’m crowing about. 😁

Also, Dan + Dirks >>> Benetti + Dirks.

People will be interested in the beginning of the season if Kevin McGonigle is on the team and we’re beating the hell out of National League teams out of the gate.

Atlanta has been drawing upscale knowledge workers over the course of the past 20 or so years in a way Dallas and Houston have not. That’s been enough to shift the politics leftward.

Someday the story will come out about what leverage Mamdani wielded over him to completely bring Trump to heel, and I hope I live long enough to hear it.

Probably what’s left of their voting rights.

Every one of them

They’re all white, so it’s all right.

Interested in hearing the specific issue you see leading to this specific advice. I admit I am not quite savvy enough to intrinsically understand.

Atlanta has long profiled as more progressive than Houston.

Interesting game yesterday in that the Tigers were down to their last strike in the top of ninth down 3-1, then came back to take the lead 4-3; then in the bottom of the ninth the Tigers were two strikes from winning, then gave up the run to end the game in a tie. In a way, the top of the ninth encapsulated the Tigers’ 2024, and the bottom of the ninth the Tigers’ 2025.

DirecTV Extra Innings charges me the same either way: $149.99 for both satellite channels and MLB.tv, which incudes MLB audio (although I get that through my SiriusXM subscription anyway, which I prefer because of the commercials situation). I get the convenience of just putting on the TV and pressing three digits and select to get my channel, but if I do want the option of going to MLB.tv on my Apple TV box and navigating through several menus and choices to get a game, I can do that, too. I have 99 problems, but FanDuel was never one.

Priorities.

How will Trump escalate this?

I hate the contemplate the idea that the candidates who replace them are going to be far worse as MAGAts and the Trump machine will fraud them into Congress.

Not exactly true. Atlanta has long been considered a much more progressive city than Dallas, Houston, or any other Texas city except Austin.
