@united Fuck those guys. @united is a bunch of clowns.

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

@united for that leg of our vacation and will be in Boston in 1.5 days. They wont forward the bags to BOS for us. They essentially strung us along only to cancel the flight but stole our luggage and we are now out a vacation. But, they want to give us a free plane meal, so we good now??

I just heard The Rizza (his composition) on KUSC. Yes, Rizza from Wu Tang on my classical station -- and it was dope.

@Brea8K any idea on when you're going to fix your results lookup for today's 8k?

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

@cdecaro It's hilarious - an abstraction on top of a farce.

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

Great day to enjoy @Dodgers stadium last week. @ErinHase with the lovely photo that @suejo825 might even enjoy ;)

@michelletandler Ending child labor certainly had a net loss of jobs, but pretty worth it IMHO...

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

@michelletandler If you're looking for a metric, the minimum wage (FLSA) was initially meant to meet basic living expenses. If you took the same approach today, for example in SF, I'm sure the number would need to be a lot higher than it is currently.

That said, labor laws always create waves.

@cdecaro Go on....

I've eaten a shockingly large amount of my kid's halloween candy...this needs to stop

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

...or go fancy and have the wire/screen removed on the fly in post production (AI buzzword here...)

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

@suejo825 these new-ish sweeping shots from 3rd <--> home are great! (I vaguely remember Seattle doing this a couple years ago...?) That wire for the back screen right in the middle of the shot kills it though! I'd either raise the camera up an extra 50-100ft up or...

@IAmDanielMiller @CodifyBaseball Good god, this is a sad and hilarious take. As an Angels fan, would you take an entire farm or a few great players? I mean...empting the Os farm would be nice, but it is trout too, right?!

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

@ebatstone @Dodgers Mixed emotions! It's very odd to say that the dodgers will need to out-hit a team vs out-pitch this year in the playoffs, but that's how things are shaping up.

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

I should go to more angel games on a whim -- 15 mins away and only 20% filled against one of the best AL teams. My boy, "wow, it is so quiet for a baseball game". 🤣🤣

My young son, after talking through a recent chess game, "he left his rook open, so I yeeted it and checkmated him"

...yeeted, guys. He said 'yeeted'

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

The OG mister rogers is so legit. The dude exudes an extreme amount of calmness that I didn't even know I needed it at this age (obvs awesome for the kids too...)

[Scott Haselton @shaselton]

Well, this isn't great

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Julio Urías was arrested and charged with felony domestic violence charges late last night, an officer with the LAPD tells ESPN.

Urias, 27, was booked late Sunday and released early this morning on $50,000 bond.
