Fans of crypto will insist that it's the future of money and transactions, but as far as I'm concerned, as long as everybody only trades it and nobody ever spends it, crypto is basically tulips in 1636.

My wife's nephew is 30 and just bought a bar in small town Wisconsin within the past year. He did not get the vaccine because, he reasoned, he's young and healthy, so he had nothing to worry about. The vaccine is for old people, like—well, me and my wife. So he's been working six days a week in his bar, no mask on him, no mask on anyone. Everything was fine. Earlier this month, he contracted COVID. Laid him out pretty good. He was home for ten days while recovering. He's back at the bar now, but he still doesn't have any smell or taste. He's getting the vaccine now, because it happened to him. Multiply this by a few million.

I'm interested in what Bunker thinks about this.

Does This Prove That Hank Aaron Was Juicing?

What about all the other players who were declared permanently ineligible because they gambled on a game in which they had a duty to perform? Should they all be reinstated back into the game? Or just Pete?

I bet Baez doesn’t tell himself he’s the fifth-best shortstop on the market. That would strike me as completely out of character for him.

Hot take from Harris Frommer, whoever he is.

I would like to sign Baez for five years, which probably means the Tigers will sign him for seven.

Perhaps Trump had heard about how Kim deals with political rivals and wanted to learn some of the technical details.

Yeah, I stopped reading here. Your attempt to seem like you're putting across a reasonable response gets completely undermined by this very kind of comment. I was going off what my eyes saw on the video, not whatever magical narrative you're imagining.

For anyone who grew up in Detroit during a certain era, this is very sad news.

lol "route". And then "route" again. And yet again. Take better ESL classes.

The other thing that's funny about it is how much they are obsessing over this part. It's almost as if they are trying to distract from the fact that what the boy did was, on its face, indefensible.

This from the guy who just now demonstrated that he has no idea what "projecting" means.

I see a guy who's armed and looking like he's looking for danger in a crowd of unarmed people and I'm thinking, yeah, I'd like to see him disarmed. Sure, I'm not the bold hero type so I might run away from him—which I would guess is his goal, to get people to run away—but I would applaud anyone who could get in there and disarm him. That didn't happen this time, but I'll certainly be rooting for that in the future.

Great kid. Nice use of NIL money.

I missed this the first time around—maybe you all knew this already—but I didn't realize the AJ got Manager of the Year votes: Sure, it's hardly any, but it's some. And it's the first time since 2011 that the manager of an American League team that finished under .500 during a full season got MoY votes.

lulz yourself. He's not being chased by a mob. He's running toward some action and a guy caught up with him. Other people stepped in and did what they could to try to disarm him. If you were around some guy you don't know who's holding a gun with intentions you're unclear on, and you had to act fast to save your own life, you'd do exactly what these guys in your photos did.

Not "clearly running away". Looked to me like he was running toward something and got overtaken by people looking to disarm him. If he were running away he would have been busting tail 100%. Instead he was basically jogging. No sale.

I agree that it doesn't happen in a dinner conversation. I agree that they were already distrustful of the government. I would disagree with the notion that practically all were already radicalized before social media, or that social media had little if any effect on them. I believe social media was used purposefully to radicalize a great number of people otherwise quiet about their previously pushed-down beliefs, and that Trump was a key utilizer of that strategy.

yeah whatabout

lol

Sure, they’re not a blank slate when first dive into Facebook, Twitter, and all the right-wing social apps. They’re definitely primed beforehand. I just don’t think it’s conversation over Thanksgiving dinner that’s radicalizing tens of millions of people into believing the election was stolen from Trump and that civil war is the only way to remedy it.
