Applying a strictly business and marketing lens to anything ruins everything.
Nobody cares on this platform, but this is someone who made our modern world a little more human.

To the outside observer, the GOP played a lot like NY: erratic, sloppy, and obnoxious. Brute force was their only tactic. They, too, deserved to lose.
The difference is that baseball is played in the open, and when there is a cheat, it's easy to spot. Politics, OTOH. Sigh.
I like baseball, I hate politics.
I saw parallels btwn the #WorldSeries and #Election2024: CA vs NY, two well-funded organizations, more alike than they like to admit.
The difference is that LA was better prepared, charismatic, and clutch. NY got the wipeout they deserved.
The ending of the Timbers season, the Orioles season, the empty stands and aimless direction of UVA football, the dissolution of my favorite food co-op...all these things that gave me a sense of community (and occasional joy) now just compound my sense of loss. Love hurts. 💔
Without fail, we get into Halloween season and somewhere I hear Rhiannon playing and then I have to watch this live version. I do not make the rules.

Does anyone else ever feel like they are their own evil twin?
I struggle to reconcile the hard worker, dedicated runner, loving partner side of me with another side that is an absolute nihilist, loafer and malcontent.
Every day feels like a war between two sides of my being.

In a night of superstars, this is the guy getting me to stand up and clap. Of course, I'm a military BRAT and the child of a public school teacher, what do I know?
