@AndyHagerstown@SNY_Mets@SNYtv@WillSammon It's a kid getting the shot he's worked his entire life for. He's seen so many teammates not even make it out of AA. Of course he's emotional; you don't get this far if you don't care. You never know if that's your last game in the majors.
Mendoza is using him as cannon fodder.
@Laza_Bautista Ewing’s a Soto guy. Locked in, focused, takes every plate appearance seriously without getting too tense. None of the theatrics and showboating of Lindor.
@FischerKing64 This exists and it’s called minor league baseball. Rewarding to see players you’ve been rooting for already finally make it up to the big leagues. Also the scene is small enough to build a real community around.
@_KevinBuckley_ was at a AA game last night. my local team is charges about $15-25 a seat, but they’re constantly running sales on their email list, so if you plan ahead you can get seats like this for around $4-8.
@richmacleod is it that hard to find a TV guy with an eye for composition? I feel like this is more about SNY cheaping out instead of hiring someone proper
@RuffCrim kinda ironic that this proves his whole deal is directionally correct.
moder society is weirdly obsessed with physical aesthetics, therefore to be taken seriously you have to “looksmax”
it’s definitely striking a nerve with a lot of people
Scrolling is pure evil. An hour of brainrot doesn’t just leave a hole where something meaningful could have been but also actively degrades the machinery you’d need to fill that hole.
It corrupts your capacity for sustained attention. Books become harder, conversations feel slower, your own thoughts start to bore you. Over time, the range of things that can hold your interest narrows until you’re left with a shrinking circle of stimulation that only the algorithm can satisfy.
It erodes your relationship to yourself. Curiosity fades. Compassion requires a kind of patient attention that atrophies. You stop wondering what you care about because the question itself feels effortful. What’s left is a stable, “comfortable” numbness. Not only five years subtracted from your life, but a slow hollowing out of the person who would have lived them.
@moccadip@dream_land33@thelovelyfall I totally agree. Old Bully kind of sounds like what I’d imagine completely losing your mind feels like. Swinging between manic and overmedicated.
There’s probably something to say about how it’s the perfect album about post-ironic modernity, though I’ll leave that to the critics
This is even more significant when you have children. I used to be much less sentimental about the furniture or decor we brought into our home. But then I began to see these things through the eyes of our children. The coffee table is no longer just a coffee table. The cup or the pot is no longer a cup or pot. The cozy corner in the room is a space enhanced with life and wonder. These practical things once used to make the home more beautiful and functional become the context for core experiences. The way they are utilized supersedes their intended purpose. The house becomes their home and all that. The practical becomes inhabited with comfort and wonder.
This is so beautiful. And so important to study. This phenomena (emergent coherence) is central to much of life, and most people don't even imagine it could happen.
@RobertStock6 Finding out that you're kind of a nerd is awesome. Love seeing this kind of technical talk come from players themselves. Curious about whether you talk analytics with the front office at all.
Good luck with your start today, hoping for the best!
@WillSammon Not a good look. This kind of pettiness over $1000 dollars (nothing to Cohen) is setting another young star on the path to the Dodgers or the Blue Jays. Creates a narrative that they’re penny-pinchers.
If you’re not gonna pay substantially more than the minimum, don’t bother.
