Hi Mikey, I don't know if you've been shamed enough in this thread yet to *feel* stupid, but just in case you haven't, I wanted to let you know that you really are.

My MAGA cousin was bitching about it to me just last night, saying that Newsom should be arrested. It absolutely is breaking through with that crowd.
MLEA Prez (@mlea-prez.bsky.social) reply parent
I will work very, very hard to make sure Gavin Newsom isn't the nominee. Until then, I'm fine with him out there being a chaos agent.
MLEA Prez (@mlea-prez.bsky.social) reply parent
And you should hold him accountable for that when he runs for office again.

They're very different styles of fighter, Pritzker is the real leader between the two: he's the affable neighborhood dad who has a baseball bat in his trunk and will come for anyone who hurts the kids on his street. Newsom is the Bad Idea Boyfriend with limited utility but is effective within scope.

I know that off-year elections aren't all that predictive, but if I were Brian Heywood or the Washington GOP looking at the #waleg primary results I'd maybe think twice before burning a ton of money to run a dumb initiative or a doomed campaign for Governor.

"Codified" in this sense means as little as when the right yells "Forensic Audit!"--it's not a magic word that suddenly gets the perfect result.

The degree of difference between A and Unaffiliated is pretty important here. Salem-Keizer as a short-A affiliate of the Giants was pretty cool; Salem-Keizer in The Maverick League is nice, but it's not even close to the same in terms of competitiveness and history.

"In fact the reason most sports are segregated is because a woman beat the men." You can keep saying this, but it just isn't true, and it does trans athletes no good to lie about the history.
MLEA Prez (@mlea-prez.bsky.social) reply parent
Ultras are still based on time, which is speed, and dismissing stamina as an element of that is silly. Dauwalter is amazing, but her best 100 mile time is 15:29, which doesn't get her in the top 100 of all time. We don't need to make up things about equal results to demand equal treatment.
MLEA Prez (@mlea-prez.bsky.social) reply parent
No. Just, no. You're being diminutive of the history of women's sports when you say things like this, and that doesn't help either women or trans athletes. At the end of the day a marathon is a race. For women to win that race, there has to be a women's division, and that's OK.
MLEA Prez (@mlea-prez.bsky.social) reply parent
You're talking about Kathrine Switzer: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathrin... It wasn't illegal for her to run, it was against the misogynistic rules of the race. The video of her coach body-checking the race director is still worth a watch today.
MLEA Prez (@mlea-prez.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm sorry, but no. The women's marathon WR time wouldn't make the list of the 1000 fastest men's marathon times.

She ran the best campaign she could have, under the circumstances, and the short runway she had after Biden dropped out was the best thing for her. Long campaigns are not her friend--2019 should prove this to anyone.

Sometimes a member of your team needs to be told that they're not contributing enough. That doesn't mean you stop opposing the other team, it means that you need your teammate to do better. Schumer and Jeffries needs to do better.

But "justice involved person" and "inmate" aren't synonymous. The students I work with who have intersected with the criminal justice system aren't inmates--they're at home, they're in diversion programs, they're paroled. I generally like Beshear, but this was a swing and a miss.
