@jontweetssports Umps shouldn't have thrown him out but the coach should sit him down for a couple of games until he grows up. That's a coaching problem.

@Auvermann_BW @Pastor_Gabe One way to know if the prohibition is universal is to look at the reasons. Are they still true? If so, then the prohibition is universal.

Of course the reasons are still true. Therefore, the prohibition is universal.

@RepJackKimble Real idiots in Congress? Don't tease us like that. It would probably be an improvement over what we have now.

On @PGATOUR #PGA pace of play. Enforce it. Yes it's a hard course and it's a major. If everyone plays by the same clock, it doesn't matter. You don't get a longer playclock in the Super Bowl or a long shot clock in the NBA Finals. Just hit the ball already.

@JimHookingSlice That is very close to his real name, which is Tae-wook Koh.

But he is a legit player.

Voting districts should not have weird shapes to include people. Trying to establish majority-minority districts has limited the influence of minorities rather than increasing it because it allowed the minority to affect only one district. Spread them out them increase influence.

[Larry Rogier @larryrogier]

If I wanted to limit the voting power of a demographic, I would put them all in 1 or 2 districts to concentrate their power and limit their influence. If I wanted to increase the voting power of a group of people, I would spread them out to multiple districts. Both are wrong.

[Larry Rogier @larryrogier]

Voting districts should have nothing to do with demographics. Take the total population, divide it equally, then put a grid of rectangles on the state and adjust them until each rectangle has the same number of voters. Adjust corners slightly to follow major roads or lines.

Read and heed, not just for your sons but for your daughters and selves. It's not just the content. It's the form. https://t.co/z8OwbqUCrm

3/ And if your ABS appeal fails, a strike or ball (the original call) gets added to the count. If you appeal strike 2 and fail, a strike it added and you are out.

So make sure you get it right.

[Larry Rogier @larryrogier]

1/ On baseball: ABS is not great; technically useful in some ways (though it doesn't get the whole strike zone). but kills the spirit of the game. Overturning on 1/10 of an inch is stupid. Furthermore, it is almost always a guess.

[Larry Rogier @larryrogier]

2/ The rule should change that so that ABS should only overturn a call that is more than 2 inches wrong. #keepthecorners

True story: A man emailed the church complaining that a line in our doctrinal statement was in error.

Turns out it is a quote from the Bible.

Moral: Before you complain about doctrine, at least know the Bible.

@wvEsquiress Announcing players is a bad idea to start with. It's JV. It's a developmental league with nothing to win. Move on.

Tough start. Doesn't leave much room to grow.

@BarackObama How bad was it when the ACA was one of the proudest moments?

Interesting thread here that highlights differences in parenting. Think carefully.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

Last night, after she’d gone to bed, my 16 y/o daughter receives a text from a friend. (We keep electronics in our room at night). I know my daughter isn’t gonna see it for a while and I know the answer to the girl’s dance-class-related question. So I just pick up the phone and answer it really quick as if I’m my daughter and leave it at that.

Tonight, I see her giggling over her phone. I ask what’s up. Apparently, the other girl’s mother had just wanted to get an answer to the question really quick, so she picked up HER daughter’s phone and texted mine as if she were her daughter. (basically both of us were too lazy to go through the rigmarole of explaining, “hi, this is Mrs. So-and-so, and here’s why I’m texting you on your friend’s phone…”

But the funny part was how the two girls figured this out. Because the first one was so appalled at seeing her mother‘s perfectly punctuated and capitalized sentences, that she felt she needed to come clean that it was her mom lest my daughter think she is that conscientious.

And my daughter, likewise, didn’t want her friend to think that SHE uses correct grammar when texting either.

So what I learned today is that it is apparently humiliating to be caught correctly formulating sentences via text.

@PGATOUR @APinv @Aon_plc Plus 2 shots for slow play. Hit the ball already.
