Itโs a philosophical argument against non-violence in climate protests, not a literal how-to guide on blowing up a pipeline lol
@jaketropolis
It means almost nothing since there is no scientific evidence for us to evaluate.
Lots of things dont make sense:
- If they can cross interstellar distance, why can we even detect them?
- Why would they still be biological?
- Why are they (seemingly) only interested in the U.S.?
@zei_squirrel
Its deeper than even just that. Yanis has long called for financial engineering to be a weapon the left uses to win concessions.
It has no demands, and its targeting stock instead of better alternatives, but the GME event is a primitive example of that tactic in action
@carterforva
Second biggest lesson is it's historically never been "first the nazis". The state cracks down on the left way harder, and way sooner, than it ever will on reactionary forces.

Don't take Benjamin's word for it. Ask the peaceful counter-protesting (predominately black) clergy in Charlottesville. Nazis trapped them and boxed them in. Antifa "saved our lives"
In case you think things can't get much better than this, remember this is in our future:
1. Emmanuel Rodriguez, LF
2. Brooks Lee, 3B
3. Walker Jenkins, RF
4. Byron Buxton, CF
5. Carlos Correa, SS
6. Edouard Julien, DH
7. Royce Lewis, 2B
8. Alex Kirilloff, 1B
9. Ryan Jeffers, C
Since being DFAd by Twins Twitter in June 2023, Max Kepler is slashing .304/.372/.545 for a .917 OPS and 154 wRC+ in 414 PAs
We are now approaching nearly a full seasons worth of PAs in which Max Kepler has been producing close to an MVP candidate level.

Itโs one thing, terrible to be responsible for the deaths of so many innocents. Itโs another to feel absolutely no remorse about it and to continue to act like his opinion on human decency still matters.
This is some next level sociopathy.
The nature of the CLE-MIN rivalry is having both teams play at a high level yet both refuse to acknowledge that the other team is actually good and having a good year until some upstart weirdos in Missouri try to chime in

Twins MLB ranks in WAR projections by position unit:
SP - 5th
RP - 2nd
C - 15th
1B - 26th
2B - 14th
3B - 6th
SS - 8th
LF - 17th
CF - 8th
RF - 9th
DH - 16th
Overall - 9th
This is a good baseball team even as is. Don't let weirdos on Twitter convince you otherwise.

Imagine getting mad that Bernie is participating in the PRIMARY, talking about things that actually matter to the American people and not just talking about "buh Russia and Donald Trump is BAD"
This is quite possibly the greatest Twins game I've watched in 10 years. Everything about this is perfect. The opponent, the trash talking, the stakes, and then this outcome.
Add on top of it that the Twins are NOT respecting the "unwritten rules".
Perfection.
Since Max Kepler was DFAโd by 99% of Twins fans on June 10th, heโs slashing:
.270/.325/.525 for a .850 OPS and gold glove caliber RF defense as always
Umpire Mark Ripperger gifted the Guardians a 2nd life on a pitch that should've ended the inning.
The Guardians would score 4 runs that inning and take the lead.
Of Ripperger's 9 missed calls, 7 went against the Cubs
Cubs lost by 1.

To clarify, are you coming out against Marxist critique of capitalism? Historical materialism? Scientific socialism? Leninist vanguardism?
There are aspects in Marxism I disagree with, but โCompletely rejecting Marxismโ is a wild statement to me, it has valuable insights.
The Twins signed Donovan Solano for $2M on February 23, 2023.
391 PAs later of a .792 OPS, he ends Cleveland's season.
The most "value" signing of all time...
Carlos Rodรณn tonight:
0 IP, 8 ER, 6 H, 0 SO, 2 BB, 35 P
He finishes his first season as a Yankee with a 6.86 ERA in 14 starts. They gave him a six-year, $162 million contract in December
Watching back everything last night and guys it got lost behind PabLo and Correa heroics, but Eddy Julien got one plate appearance last night and it might have been the best one of the game.
Goes down 0-2, then spits on this PERFECT changeup before coming through with a hit:
The actual terrible thing about the whole payroll thing that no one is talking about is it's 100% going to push Falvey and Levine out the door if they get an opportunity elsewhere.
And that fucking sucks, because they've been the best FO we've ever had.

I mean, what are we doing here?
Shout out to Trev here for not just letting it slide, but some things you just don't don't say about professionals in the wake of a defeat.
Jomboy just Kool-Aid man'd past that line. Shameful.
Not down with the people dooming on my feed, gotta be honest.
We came into the season the 3rd biggest favorites in our own division, spent the entire season getting disrespected, won the division, won a postseason series, and battled in 3 of 4 vs a dynasty.
Hold your heads up.
Fuck it: I'm saying it.
A male GM that effectively held the top job for a full season and in that season brought a historically unsuccessful franchise to their first playoff berth in nearly 20 years would not have been passed over entirely for the top job in that same org.
News at ESPN: Marlins GM Kim Ng left the organization after it tried to hire someone over her in the baseballl-operations department, a move that stunned the industry after she built Miami's first full-season playoff team since 2003. Free and unlocked:
Twins lead is 5 games. Hereโs your Narrative Ball update heading into the final series with CLE:
- Twins Sweep: Division over
- Twins win 2: Division over
- Twins win 1: Division probably over
- Twins get swept: 2024 was more our year anyways

Florida is also unimportant to the Sanders nomination map, and is not important to a Sanders general election map either.
Sanders isn't going to do a Hillary '16 all in to flip Florida strategy. He's going to go all in on flipping WI, MI, and PA. Where his policies resonate.
If Ober comes out and outduels JUSTIN VERLANDER, IN Houston, en route to securing us a game 1 victory...
I will buy his jersey. And also build his statue myself.
@timjacobwise
Galactic brain take there Tim, thanks for sharing.
Not like correcting racial injustice hasn't been a central focal point of socialism since the 1880s.
I never even dreamed that the TWINS would have a home playoff atmosphere so electric that they're still talking about it on a completely unrelated broadcast.
We're really turning things around here
UN medical aid workers, some of whom are Americans (shouldn't matter), are describing how they have use their own bodies as bait to try to minimize the chances the IDF just kills them by sending one person and then adding on an additional one each time.
Our tax dollars, btw.
- Offense is real
- Jeffers is the best catcher in baseball
- Willi is a superutil with a OPS >.800
- Griffin Jax
- Jhoan Duran
- Varland is fixed
- Juan Soto Jr in Wichita
- Mike Trout Jr in Ft Myers
- PabLo day tmrw going for 12 straight
Who has it better?
We really lost a superstar talent to injury and the offense has barely noticed his absence, people need to recognize this is the deepest Twins team they have ever seen in their life
6th inning: Thielbar
7th inning: Stewart
Highest Leverage between 8th or 9th inning: (or whenever the toughest hitters): Duran
2nd highest leverage: Jax
We're gonna have it so good
Truly funny how many people are just now finding out how reactionary MLB players are
They are predominantly white multi-millionaires who more often than not come from upper middle class to upper class households. Like what did we actually expect?
Bailey Ober since being DFAd by CurvedOuttaWisc on April 1st:
- 3.41 ERA (1st on Twins)
- 3.57 FIP (2nd)
- 3.71 xFIP
- 0.97 WHIP (1st)
- 20.7% K-BB
- 35.6% HH rate (1st)
- 7.6% Brl (1st)
Simply should not be on the roster

The 2024 Futures Game participant has the 5th best OPS (.844) in the Texas League this season (min. 170 PA)
#MNTwins
Emmanuel Rodriguez 2-3 with 2 walks, Edouard Julien is Barry Bonds, Brooks Lee is Edouard Julien, and Yunior Severino has 17 HRs and an .874 OPS and I'm supposed to care about "Spencer Steer" and "CES"
A Chinese style high speed rail line could go from Chicago to Minneapolis WITH stops in Milwaukee, Madison, and Eu Claire in less than 3 hours btw itโs an actual crime we donโt have this already
Edouard Julien is slashing .344/.544/.469 for a 1.012 OPS in his last 9 games at AAA, with more BBs than Ks in that same time span.
I wonder how long of a stint like this they want to see out of him before he's back up with the Twins
iโve stopped counting the intangibles that carlos correa brings to the twins with the exception of how good he is at tags on stolen base attempts
look at how far he lets this ball travel
he lets vazquezโs throw do all the work
The Minnesota Twins are 5th in HRs, 4th in SLG, and 4th in ISO in the entire league this year.
People really do just be writing shit about the AL Central and hoping no one notices.
