Five things to remember about war:

1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true

2. Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics

3. The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think

4. Wars are unpredictable

5. Wars are easy to start and hard to stop

@megrowler All of these policies and plans maximize short term profits at the expense of the long term future of the game. Even the medium term is at risk once they’ve squeezed out all of the juice. But the powers that be will all be retired by then.

[Michael Hillmeyer @MHillmeyer]

Growing baseball for the long term would not just reverse these policies and plans but also ensure that many more games can be seen by more than the few who still have cable/RSNs.
We couldn’t even watch the compelling final of #WBC2023 without cable.

Excellent conference and fun to be back in #Lerner Hall learning a bit more about recent advances in #datascience & #ArtificialIntelligence. #DataScienceDay2023 #DataScienceInstitute #ColumbiaUniversity

It’s good to be back in person for this year’s #BRITEconf at #ColumbiaBusinessSchool
Great job as always by @BrandCenter_CBS

@joshtpm @atrupar Nothing says, “regular person in NYC” like being afraid of crowds, transit and parks and riding around in a private SUV.

@MLB @WBCBaseball @MikeTrout @Angels @mlb Please flex tonight’s @WBCBaseball championship game to broadcast 📺 @MLBONFOX
I can’t think of a better advertisement for the future of ⚾️ #baseball here in the US, especially given the sport’s serious demographic problems. @MLBPA @MikeTrout @Ken_Rosenthal @TheAthleticMLB

@MLB: Flexing tonight’s @WBCBaseball final to broadcast TV could help with @baseball’s serious demographic problems here in the US. I can’t think of a better advertisement for the game ⚾️ @MLBONFOX @TheAthleticMLB @Ken_Rosenthal @MLBPA @MikeTrout

@sentdefender Maybe the pilot(s) can get a movie or documentary deal out of shooting down the #ChineseSpyBalloon.

@jordanpbradford Why not an inexpensive, unmanned, submersible version made with a non-metallic composite that runs on solar where the solar arrays are the only part above water when charging/running? A dozen or so could be barfed out by a mother ship well clear of trouble.

[Michael Hillmeyer @MHillmeyer]

We minimize or forget the #insurrection at our own peril. Consequences have come for far too few of the perpetrators, especially those above the foot soldiers. DoJ needs to act with more urgency. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Not prosecuting turns it into a mere practice run

2 yrs ago: Jan 6, 5:04pm, I took this photo of law enforcement using flash bang grenades & tear gas on a violent mob trying to break into the U.S. Capitol. It was hr 4 in my gas mask, helmet & bulletproof vest photographing hand-to-hand combat between police & U.S. citizens. 1/9

@ZeroDarkKitty The Holocaust happened. It is a fact, not an opinion.

Holocaust deniers are not people who have a different opinion. They are liars.

@stevenmazie @LeahLitman @JoyceWhiteVance Check the junk mail folder of the email you used to sign up. My acceptance was there only a day or two after joining the wait list.

[Michael Hillmeyer @MHillmeyer]

Agreed. Appeasing power-mad dictators in their wars of conquest never works - they always want more. Standing up to bullies is the only way forward.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

When we give @Ukraine the support it needs to win the war, it serves to strongly deter other nuclear blackmailers in their territorial aggressions. Helping @Ukraine does not increase the probability of nuclear war, it reduces the risk of future nuclear conflagrations.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Today again, the world has learned again the hard lesson that dependence on fossil fuels provided by dictators and cartels threatens our security and prosperity. Going green is not just good for the planet but good for peace, democracy & economic stability.

[Michael Hillmeyer @MHillmeyer]

The Upshot | Why did the polls miss so badly on the Ukrainian referendums?

@Dallas_Marcella @NewYorkStateAG @MLB @Apple @YESNetwork I am watching tonight’s game with Apple TV+, but I was commenting above on the prohibitive (to many) cost of watching baseball lately. Outside of a handful of nationally televised games, virtually no Yankee games this season were broadcast over the air this season. Only on cable.
