There will be a lot of commentary framing Tim Walz as a pick meant to please the progressive base. But I’m a self-identified pro-market moderate and I’m a big fan of this pick too. Here’s a brief list of what I like about him. @jdcmedlock 1/8

@MTGrepp @KamalaHarris Imagine thinking you did something with this

[Emmi @Andora81]

How many couriers does it take to deliver a @SkipTheDishes order?

Quality is OBVIOUSLY not something Skip cares about. Neither is Customer care.

Did somebody say skip? Definitely. Completely disrespectful company.

Rebel reporter David Menzies gets paid to get arrested so Ezra can add a fundraising element. It’s in his actual job description. That arrest was engineered to scam hillbillies and make Canada look like a tyrannical dictatorship. Only stupid people think it’s real.

@sierralad Wholly shit, no idea who your talking about, but it sounds validating

[Emmi @Andora81]

@TheHeatherEm I'm barely on here so I'm fairly shocked, though it sounds like this is Twitter now? Crazy, mean, senseless and chaotic?

[Emmi @Andora81]

@JayHuber16 @Billbrowder Never.

1) Russia has a way better PR machine and Putin's controlled it for decades.

2) Therefore Russians don't disagree with the war.

3) There's too many people Putin can throw at this war before it becomes truly noticeable for them.

[Emmi @Andora81]

@secmxx @Billbrowder It's sad North America did most of the nations in Africa so wrong. Now some cling to the world's despots.

Putin is and has been an awful dictator for decades. That's not up for debate. Choosing his side because Russia holds a lot of power in parts of Africa is what it is.

[Emmi @Andora81]

@lamgtwn @Billbrowder @Interpreter_Mag Russians were different back then. Their rulers didn't have enough money to bribe the the populace.

[Emmi @Andora81]

@KJSOpenGov @VishNath @Billbrowder They're not cowards. They're sociopaths.

They welcome it. There's nothing to protest.

A friend once told me Russians are more like the worst of rural southern states, but we can't tell because of the art. I haven't seen anything to prove that wrong in 10 years.

[Emmi @Andora81]

@4tybin @Billbrowder I don't think so. Not because you're wrong, or because I want him to succeed. I just don't think anything is taking this asshole down. I question death at this point.

Until NATO stops fucking around, this remains his war to lose, even while losing.

@AndrewStoeten Snort - I looked to the bottom first, assumedly. Boy howdy, that was a surprise.
And you're right.

@CaptainSnarlet That is a classic Bellum look. You're an influencer of the global variety

As soon as I heard the news, this became clear.

#Ohtani played with a nation for another 100m.

Screw him. I hope his contract becomes an albatross for the Dodgers, and they never see a pennant.

[Brandon Wile @Brandon_N_Wile]

So putting all the Ohtani pieces together it looks like ...

- Ohtani hoped to land with the Dodgers (it was reported early he knew where he wanted to go), gave them chance for final offer
- Agent likely initially wasn't getting the $$ he wanted
- Someone (Ohtani's camp?) leaked that he was signing with the Blue Jays, and he was traveling to Toronto
- After those leaks, Dodgers thought they might lose him and came in with final offer.
- From Verducci:

[Emmi @Andora81]

I feel the emphasis oh Ohtani being at his "home" in California is ALSO a sign/important note...

That was a fun dream this afternoon.

[Emmi @Andora81]

I waver between "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS" and appreciation for a fun #BlueJays Twitter renaissance.

[Mike Ferrin @Mike_Ferrin]

Jays or Angels really gonna spend $600M on Ohtani and not travel their radio crews
