co-sign. it's not perfect but if you're trying to use the angle MLB is currently testing out I don't trust you at all.
The vibes-based "I know it when I see it" system of umpires determining if a swing was successfully checked or not is actually fine — a time-tested and effective solution to an annoying problem — and anyone trying to write a new rule to make it "objective" is a sicko who should not be trusted.

dang and i thought fake phishing messages that just said, "[whatever VP-level admin] has sent you a Teams message, click here to see it" were bad
this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...
i have read three or four of these stories and at no point do the writers of any of them bother to ask the question, "why does sundar pichai control the names of the oceans?" which is nearly as big of a problem as "the mad king wants to rename the oceans." www.theverge.com/policy/10167...
