@RepSpartz @SpeakerJohnson @RepStartz, did you vote Yea or Nay on the rule today? Roll Call shows you voted Yea -- yet you say here that you "will vote against the rule due to broken commitments by @SpeakerJohnson to his own members."

Please reconsider the bill itself in any case. Best "Plan C" = NAY!

@WatchMarquee Speaking of catcher technique, why does Kelly drop glove when windup starts vs. hold glove target throughout the windup and pitch?

@JimGordillo Thanks for covering HS Tennis, Jim and Rich! Correction: Casey's last name is O'Connell, not O'Donnell. Can you please help get it corrected in HT site/print and in social media?

@Wimbledon @janniksin UH, except I CANNOT WATCH ON MY ESPN+ account!!!! I just signed up for ESPN+ based on ESPN promoting it as how to watch Wimbledon. Nowhere, not even any fine print saying "EXCEPT FOR THE MOST PROMINENT MATCHES (the ones most people will watch)." Even FAQ doesn't say such things.

@spepechen Can someone provide a count -- how many people are demonstrating? Ideally the number would come from a reputable source and/or be based on using well-established objective methods to estimate the crowd size.

@JimDeshaies @WatchMarquee It seems this is the Astros pitcher tonight, yes?

@jivory @maltoesermalte I'd love to see more in this vein. I also wonder if the episode with such reviewers contributes to this trend:

[Michael O'Connell @m_oconnell]

@jivory How about reviewing reviewers? ;)

This seems to be more and more common. Banks, employers ... you name it. Really not a good user experience! Not only prohibit me from properly typing in my actual name, but told my name is not "valid"!?! Why is this getting worse and worse in recent years? Grrr.

I'm surprised there aren't tons more subscribers to Hidden Brain newsletter. Great podcast series. @HiddenBrain https://t.co/CB8cHOfAFi

@JimDeshaies @BoogSciambi You ask about the best home run celebration... Easy! Cubs bullpen dances! (Should've asked @Kelly_Crull!) https://t.co/vPf5QYGFOx

@smalljones :(

@natarpr @ylecun @paulg Wha??? There is no cherry-picking here. The comment was aptly quoted -- and is AFFIRMED by @ylecun's response, despite his mischaracterization of it as otherwise. (And the "preposterous" comment only add further alarm.)

@WatchMarquee Jim's comment and delivery in 9th today re: bee in bonnet -- "No way, man!" -- suggests an affiliation with The Dude from The Big Lebowski... (just don't call attention to hair discrepancy ;) ).

@chenxiwang @noplasticshower @cigitalgem @noplas When is your bar open? I want to visit sometime too!
