Major League Baseball has done literally everything that it can do to go from MLB being a distinct 2-part league, which was so cool in so many ways, to making it one big 30-team league with no differentiation from one to the other.
These leagues used to not play each other until the World Series. They used to have different umpires with slightly different strike zones. They used to have some different rules. It was unique, and very cool.
And then, MLB started on their quest to take the nuance out of baseball. And here we are.

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
Flirting with life is a skill. the guy who whistles walking down the street, compliments the cashier, makes the whole room laugh, treats every stranger like someone worth knowing — that guy never struggles. warmth is the most underrated form of power there is.
there is something intoxicating about a person who is deeply occupied with something they are passionate about. the most attractive people are usually the hardest to reach. not because they are playing games. not because they think they’re better than everyone else. but because their mind is already occupied by something bigger than attention. they are building something. mastering something. obsessed with something. and that obsession gives them a kind of energy you cannot fake. people can feel when someone’s entire life revolves around being noticed. it makes them predictable, too available, too easy to read. but the people who stay in your mind for years are different. they have depth. mystery. a private world you cannot fully access. they disappear into their craft instead of disappearing into validation. they don’t wait around for texts all day because they are too busy becoming someone they are proud of. and the craziest part? the less they need attention, the more magnetic they become. because “nothing is more alluring than someone who has somewhere else to be, even if that place is internal.”

there's no easy way to achieve shit and become someone....
You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.
There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.
I just signed a legally binding contract under penalty of perjury.
The terms are simple: if I break any one of my promises as Florida Governor, I cannot run for re-election.
Politicians in both parties have lied to us. That ends with me.
Tucker Carlson alleges that through bribes, assassination attempts, spying, and political pressure, Israel has forced Trump into war with Iran that he can’t get out of.
Carlson has noted that Trump shut down his own investigation into the Butler Assassination Attempt, was terrified of Bibi Netanyahu giving him a golden pager, and that, despite his best efforts, Trump has been steadily slow-walked into a war with Iran against his will.
Carlson has also alleged that Charlie Kirk, a chief opponent of war against Iran, was assassinated as part of a broader plot, with Israel covering it up, despite believing Tyler Robinson’s involvement.
Carlson pointed to Joe Kent and numerous attempts made by Israel not only to spy on Trump, but to hinder “first responders” that would help Trump in an assassination attempt.
Examining the war, Tucker points out that the US has spent more on defending Israel than on the Gulf states, and more defending Israel that it has spent on its own defense.
