@HoorayBacon @WorkElizab My parents used to take me to Crockett Park too! I remember being about 3 and screaming "Hit it out of the park, Mark!" to Mark Corey. I vaguely remember Cal Ripken being there as well.

Episode lucky number 13. In the third part of a series on consciousness and free will, we talk about the nature of consciousness, thinking about thinking, and about how most of the things we think we know can't be proven beyond our own experience.

Is there a breakdown of how many @Braves games will be on each network/streaming service? Also will playoff games be on .mlb.tv / BraveVision or do I still have to have cable for TBS/ESPN games?

My mom was stopped and harassed by masked ICE agents while shopping at an outlet mall in Texas. Because she has an accent, they assumed she spoke Spanish and started talking to her in Spanish. When she said she doesn’t speak Spanish, they began demanding where she was “from,” rapidly listing countries without even giving her a chance to respond.

My mom told them she’s been in this country longer than some of them have been alive. She was only allowed to leave after showing a photo of her U.S. passport on her phone.

She is a U.S. citizen. She has lived in this country for 47 years. If you think this is just about “sending criminals back,” you are dead wrong.

I would offer that Alex Pretti putting his body—with his hands up—between a woman and the BP agent who had just violently shoved her into the snow, offer stark competing visions of manhood. Pretti, a nurse caring for veterans, who took a face full of pepper spray to shield that woman, is a much better masculine ideal that the masked coward shoving the woman and executing a man on his knees. MAGA may venerate the latter, but most people in a healthy society want the former.

[Tim Alberta @TimAlberta]

Okay so,

1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution

2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents

3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen

4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement

You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

🚨 URGENT WEATHER ALERT: THIS IS THE REAL DEAL 🚨

Folks, I cannot stress this enough: Please prepare now!

We have all day today (Friday) and most of the daylight hours on Saturday to get ready. After that, the window closes. This is not a "bread and milk" situation—this is a major to extreme ice threat. We are looking at a setup we haven't seen in at least 10 years, and if the higher ice totals hold, we could be looking at something we haven't dealt with in 20 years (think back to the 2002 ice storm).

Here is the reality of what is coming this weekend (Sat PM - Monday):

🧊 THE ICE THREAT
Look at the maps attached. That pink and purple area isn't just "snow." It is freezing rain and heavy ice accumulation.
The forecast shows potential for 0.25" to 0.75" of ice.
What that means: At 0.25", tree limbs snap and power lines go down. At 0.50"+ (which is possible in the darker purple bands), we are talking about widespread, long-duration power outages and impassable roads.

🛑 IMPACTS: WHAT TO EXPECT

POWER OUTAGES: This is my biggest concern. With ice accumulating on trees and lines, outages are likely. If you are in the high-risk zones, you need to be prepared to be without power for days, not hours.
TRAVEL: By Saturday night, travel will likely become dangerous to impossible. Do not plan to be on the roads Sunday. If you get stuck in an ice storm, emergency crews may not be able to reach you quickly.
TREES: The weight of the ice will bring down weak limbs and trees. If you have large trees over your driveway or home, be hyper-aware.

⏳ YOUR ACTION PLAN (DO THIS NOW):
You have until Saturday evening to get this done. Do not wait.

1. CHARGE EVERYTHING: Phones, laptops, tablets, and power banks. Do it now while the grid is 100%.
2. HEAT: If the power goes out, how will you stay warm? Have blankets ready. If you have a fireplace, get wood. **NEVER** use a generator or grill indoors—carbon monoxide is a silent killer.
3. FOOD/WATER: You don't need to panic buy, but have enough food that doesn't require cooking (sandwiches, dry goods) and water for 72 hours.
4. MEDICAL: If you need prescriptions or oxygen, secure it today.

The Bottom Line:
This isn't a "fun snow day." This is a damaging ice event. We have been lucky for a long time, but the data is showing a setup that demands respect and preparation.

Use today and tomorrow to prepare your family and check on your elderly neighbors, then stay off the roads once this starts.

Stay safe, stay warm, and stay tuned for updates.

Brian and Mike talk about perception, how what we experience isn't the whole truth and how things like the vision of birds and optical illusions can prove it. Also, we talk about why you shouldn't think too hard about why you can sometimes taste a fart. https://t.co/hifZv0IjQo
