Wrote about Justin Martinez, who throws 100 MPH, but more importantly throws one of the lowest-spin high-velo splitters that has ever been tracked. What if a knuckleball was thrown 90 MPH? --> www.mlb.com/dbacks/news/...

Just published my latest Draw Steel video, a recording of our session from last night. This was one of the most fun combats I've ever run, with some absolutely wild swings. youtu.be/SrAEksBK83M

Our Draw Steel session last night had the single coolest turn on combat we've seen. My friend who's playing the party's Talent hasn't been able to make every session and had had some bad luck to start out his time with the campaign. I was a little worried he wasn't enjoying himself.

Ran a great session of Draw Steel tonight (by @hellomcdm.bsky.social). The party spent 3 hours fighting War Dog guards at a gulag style prison. Their goal: save as many prisoners as possible.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.

The Navajo Code Talkers were true American heroes whose unbreakable code helped the United States and Allies win WWII and saved countless lives. The Trump administration erased their story from all military websites. How is that making America great? 🤔

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.
