Posts from me: Since we're having "low info voters are dumb" again, I'm gonna point out that this is why triangulation is dumb. Trying to win by changing your values to cover the opinions of as many people as possible will lead you to adopt some deeply stupid things because the "persuadable" voter isn't coherent! The practice of politics is the work of having a firm and coherent set of policies and beliefs *and going out and convincing people that your ideas are worth doing*. Having to actually *talk* to people and sell them on your ideas is horrifying to the triangulation nerds, and so they reject it. But that's how you actually win and get things done! All triangulation does is chase marginal gains on the edges, instead of, I don't know, creating a movement that believes in your vision and will fight for it. Triangulation is a surrender on either your ideas or the idea of politics as a whole.
Post on Twitter from Buster Olney: Bryce Harper has a fun idea for the HR Derby: When the gold balls are brought into play, let the hitters swing aluminum bats. That would be a show... and you might see balls leave Citizens Bank Park.
Screenshot of Bluesky post by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) because I can't quote post two different posts: Sen. Chris Coons: "My hope is that we can just sort of say -- okay, offsetting penalties. Trump threatened to take Greenland from Denmark, and they didn't provide universal immediate complete access to use their bases. Let's recognize that there have been some points of tension."

Twitter post from @jarvis_best: How to fix soccer: 1. The field is fucking huge. Shrink it. 2. Too many players on the field. Limit to three forwards, two defenders, and a goalie. 3. Players should get to come in and out whenever they want. Don't stop the game. 4. Shrink the goal. 5. Ice everywhere

Zach Dooley (@DooleyLAK) on Twitter: Clarke agreed that the younger core needs to take on a bigger piece of the pie this season. Highlighted himself, Byfield & Laferriere. "We haven't done enough winning the past couple years and that's not up to par. We want to push the envelope we want to be a contender."
