It seemed the cliques just re-formed

Of all things, an article titled Confessions of...a Dating App Moderator just popped up on my Twitter feed.

The sad part is their solution - to require a mutual like to essentially pre approve who can send you messages - has been even worse.

Your post reminded me of a rabbit hole that I’ve not thought about for a while: what would have been the domino effects of the Giants moving to St Pete in 1993 instead of the Rays expansion in 1997?

This popped up on my Twitter feed and I busted out laughing when reading it.

Yep. If you drive through Texas or Pennsylvania on a Friday night in the fall and hit scan on your radio, you’re going to get at least a dozen games.
