@notnaughtknot I think about this all the time. I’ve been working on writing about my earliest memories—can’t get much past 2 and half yo with much clarity. But I think I thought about shapes and movement long before I understood they had words attached them

@mykola Winning an election may indicate that you ran a superb campaign, had better ideas than your opponent, and outworked their team. But quite possible you did none of the above and were just lucky enough to get.a few more votes on that particular day.

@billjamesonline I recently watched game 1 of the 1970 World Series. Most of the (mercifully short) pre-game was about both starting pitchers—Palmer and Nolan—having missed significant time in the previous couple of seasons with arm problems. It’s not the pitch clock
