:) They have a 4 run per inning rule also. The first few games this fall season were just ppaaaiiinnnffuulll. Just complete walking and stealing games.

All’s fair in love and war, they say, but youth sports is neither. We already have a ton off issues stemming from turning collegiate athletics into a matter of life and death for fans, a massive revenue stream for institutions, and a cynical farm system for the pros; it would seem desirable to retain at least a modicum of pure sports at some level of the system.

He’s just shitposting about something he’s going to do anyways:

Dailyposter isn’t exactly reputable to my knowledge, but Sinema taking money from shady people is basically her entire character arc.

2870

Even taking the article at face value, they aren’t claiming that she took money from this group, just that the group is independently funding ads in support, right?

Oh goodie, the widespread availability of personal data being collected without our knowledge and possibly without our consent for profit is being leveraged by our government to get around the Fourth Amendment!

I’m sure there are no downsides to this.
