Wyoming forfeits Volleyball matchup with San Jose State
1) Her social media (which was not created until after she graduated high school) reads like a stereotypical right wing personality. Not discrediting in and of itself, but certainly notable. 2) The only evidence of this is a 7 second clip where a tall player spikes the ball into Payton's face. As far as I can find, the opposing player has never been named and this entire story is basically contained to right wing news publications and purely based on word of mouth from Payton. 3) Her injuries were so severe that she was playing basketball, and posting highlights to hudl, within two months: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18432580/Payton-McNabb/highlights Again, there is a severe lack of curiosity with any of this. It's just pure rage bait, through and through.

Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
1) ideally Hader wouldn’t have been used yesterday so he’d be more rested and unfamiliar to Detroit 2) Given that 3 of the first 4 batters in the 8th were scheduled to be lefties, not to mention it’s the top of their order, analytics would argue that Hader should have pitched the 8th from the start

Wyoming forfeits Volleyball matchup with San Jose State
My issue with this whole discussion is that many of the loudest voices have no true concern about the fairness of women's sports or whatever, but just have hatred to spread and view this as an acceptable outlet. We saw it in the Olympics, where many folks couldn't wait to pile on that poor woman - and then baselessly started to speculate about other athletes that didn't "seem" feminine enough. There was no desire to acquire facts on the issue and no attempt to mitigate the damage done by these allegations... just an opportunity to yell on the internet and then move on to the next outrage of the day. There is a genuine discussion to be had on the topic, as troph has illustrated, but nobody with a megaphone seems to be interested in participating.

The Veep Debate - Walz v. Vance, 9pm EST Tuesday, Oct 1st
The problem for JD is that 99.9% of his days on this earth do not involve him taking part in a debate, and the American public has overwhelmingly decided that they do not like him on those days.

- The Veep Debate - Walz v. Vance, 9pm EST Tuesday, Oct 1st
Purposefully avoided the debate and have tried to avoid searching out news about it, but the fact check whining and the “damning non answer” seem to be the two moments that have kinda elevated into real news. Again, doubt this debate has much impact and I still might have some sourcing bias involved, but that doesn’t seem great for Vance.- The Veep Debate - Walz v. Vance, 9pm EST Tuesday, Oct 1st
Shoulda brought up how Trump only distributed 1% of what North Carolina requested the last time they got hit by a hurricane because the request came from a Democrat governor.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Putting in Hader here should be the only piece of evidence needed to relive Espada of his duties.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

I’m not brave enough to predict a Kamala blowout. But if it does occur, there will have been plenty of signs it was coming in hindsight.- 2024 Senate Elections
Feel like those clips are a preview of the VP debate tonight.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Might be anecdotal, but sure seems like Elon has taken off any attempt to curate Twitter feeds based on activity and are just actively pumping pure right wing nonsense to everyone. Just nonstop bullshit from the moment I logged on today.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Kamala: everyone deserves a fair shot Trump: we need the Purge “Both sides are equally radical!” - the smartest people on Twitter- Colin Allred, doing what nobody asked
Saw a commercial yesterday where a bald, faceless, black man with "Allred" on his jersey tackled a young girl. I know this is their angle yet the blatantness of it still shocked me.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Yep - it's remarkable how easy it is to just tune out. Every single time I return to twitter after a break, it feels like this: Not to keep beating a dead horse, but it's why I feel so strongly about the need for the campaign to do untraditional media. It's really easy for people to tune out the news, so if you are trying to win over new voters, you need to show up on their entertainment podcasts/sports pre game shows/etc. to get your message across.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Don’t think there’s any chance Trump is there, but I’d bet good money on Ted showing up.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
It’s why I think Kamala/Walz need to go on podcasts like Theo and Rogan. Most of these bros aren’t hard pilled conservatives like Ben Shapiro or whatever, they’re just easily influenced jocks that are really only being message targeted by one political party. Of course they believe all the dumb right wing bullshit, that is the only group trying to court that demographic.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Honestly remarkable how Trump not only has softened the GOP’s opinion of Russia, he has them all actively rooting against Ukraine. Purely because he wants to fuck Putin.- 2024 Senate Elections
Certainly some of that WI/MI money could be better allocated towards OH/PA?- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
Definitely thought we were cooked in April. Don't know how I honestly feel about our chances, but we can undoubtedly be the best team in baseball for a month.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
