@BridgetPhetasy Still lots of normie Republicans in TX. If Talarico wins it’s not because of Californication, it’s normies wanting divided government until sane Republicans return.
@VictorRojas@MattWelch A great thing about baseball is, for 6 months/year it’s always there. Almost every day, wherever you are, there’s a game on the radio. Some of my earliest memories, going somewhere w/my dad, ballgame on.
@EsotericCD@Political_Beats There’s a difference between “never heard” and “never heard of”. In the pre-internet, there were lots of bands I’d heard of but hadn’t yet heard. Outside of the radio, hearing music was an investment.
@AngryMariners He was given a terribly unbalanced lineup and got no help at the deadline. Made some questionable moves but wasn’t as bad as some are saying. Most of it was on the owner/GM not him.
@MattWelch Lots of talk about lost small-ball hitting, not as much about all the baserunning and fielding errors nowadays in MLB. My little league coach weeps.
@feelsdesperate@DestinysUnr9vh Not being from SoCal, I wasn’t really familiar with them until the early 90s. I think the hate was greatly due to overexposure. They were a core band in the exploding Nirvana-driven “alt rock” radio and by the late 90s everyone was sick of them.
