Swift and certain punishment for their actions in 2020 and leading up to Jan 6 is the only way I can think of that might prevent this, and even that might not be enough to stop at least the attempt.

I think you understand I’m not demanding immediate indictments. I’m just saying if all this stuff gets revealed, and they don’t even try going after Trump World, we’re basically done.

He’s still a ballplayer in his own mind, and ballplayers are relentlessly positive and upbeat when speaking about game in public. For ballplayers still in the game, I think it might be a defense mechanism against the idea that your career can end with any cold spell. If you talk only about good things, good things will happen to you. You don’t wanna jinx yourself. For ballplayers out of the game, I guess it’s a way to maintain their central identity as a ballplayer. Some guys devote their entire young lives to the idea and just can’t let it go. Maybe there’s some fear of aging there. I don’t know. In my opinion, as a broadcaster, putting on the ballplayer act is unprofessional. I don’t believe you can be a broadcasting professional if you’re openly rooting for “the guys” and referring to them by their cutesy-poo clubhouse nicknames. It feels unseemly.

After all this, including this, are they still not going to bring the indictments? Trump World is going to get away with it all, in the past and the future? So, what … so we can say our long national nightmare is over? We will be truly good and fucked if it goes down like that.

Yeah, we're done ...

Riley overran that just a touch and it could've gone wrong, but he hauls it into the palm for the out.

Just flipped on the radio for the game with Dan and Jim. But Jim is out, and oh no-o-o-o-o-o, it's C-Mo-o-o-o-o-o-o!

Remember this guy? 😐

I'm merely giving the crowd what they want. 😁 Bold prediction: for whatever reason, I don't think Biden gets the nomination for 2024.

Also, the tweeter sucks.

The cloud doesn't have to be at the security camera company's data center. The cloud can be storage you manage yourself that you rent from a company like Google. You can lease 2TB of storage from $10/month from Google, for instance, and store your home security videos there. That said, I don't trust Google with my sensitive data, either.

From the Department of No Shit, Sherlock, What Did You Think Was Gonna Happen? 4. Ring secretly shares data with cops Illustration: Gabriella Turrisi/Axios Amazon's video doorbell platform Ring shared footage with law enforcement multiple times this year without users' consent, the company said in a letter made public Wednesday, Axios' Margaret Harding McGill reports. Why it matters: The proliferation of video doorbells has raised questions surrounding privacy and law enforcement access to footage. Driving the news: In response to an inquiry by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Amazon said it has given law enforcement footage without user consent 11 times so far this year in response to emergency requests. Each time Amazon said Ring determined "there was an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury" that required disclosure of the information without delay. Law enforcement can obtain Ring footage through voluntary requests to the owner or via a warrant, but Amazon notes it generally informs users before disclosing information. The other side: Ring made more than 100 changes while it underwent an audit by New York University's Policing Project. That included requiring police agencies to identify a specific offense under investigation when seeking video. The audit found that most requests from law enforcement were connected to "relatively serious property crimes and some violent crimes," with 16% related to shootings or homicides. What they're saying: "We will continue to prioritize privacy, security, and user control as we pursue and improve technologies to help achieve our mission of making neighborhoods safer," Amazon's vice president for public policy Brian Huseman wrote to Markey. Read the rest. Bonus: How do you like the bullshit "privacy prioritization" statement at the bottom?

Pursuant to this post from the SCOTUS thread a couple of months ago: 3. Abortion bans are shaping living preferences Data: Axios/Generation Lab; Chart: Nicki Camberg/Axios Many young Americans say state abortion laws will influence where they choose to live, according to a new Generation Lab/Axios poll, Axios' Oriana Gonzalez reports. Why it matters: Several states are banning or heavily restricting abortions after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The survey's findings suggest the ruling may significantly influence where Americans ages 18-29 are willing to attend college, move for work or build families. By the numbers: 62% of young women and 53% of young men said a state's abortion laws would at least "somewhat" affect their decision on where to live. Democrats (67%) were nearly twice as likely as Republicans (36%) to say so. Read on.

I like how Swalwell posed the question to the other witness about whether the procedure was considered an abortion. That way he doesn't have to take the heat for browbeating the first witness into submission. That first witness is nothing but a disingenuous political hack.

lol a guy named "Whit" from small-town South Carolina doing his own research on an infectious disease.

Orioles have five in the top sixty.

Given how it's generally accepted now that Hinch has a five-year contract, I can't see Ilitch firing him in year two and eating the remaining three years.

Seems like I hear the phrase “you can’t have too much pitching” most often when a team stockpiles pitching at the expense of hitting. That’s been the Tigers’ MO, and that phrase has been used in their defense repeatedly during this process.

Miggy got a bit lucky with a bad throw. If a good throw had nailed him we might be talking about what a dumbass he is. I also wonder whether Miggy feels freer to do something like this because the cost of failure is low for him. If he gets caught at third, it’s a shrug and a grin. If Willi or Harold or Baddoo get caught on something like that, that could hasten the end of their careers.

As good as it might feel in the moment, shit-canning AJ fixes no organizational problem.

You can’t have too much pitching …

It’s all part of the race to the bottom.

Looks like Arizona is taking that step toward converting their college-degreed teacher force into a high-school-diplomaed babysitter force.
