This groupthink idea had a lot to do with hastening the Touch Bar’s demise. Almost 8 years on, I’m still irritated at the response.

Loving the overwrought enthusiasm and failure to act like they’ve been there before of “New Yorkers-experiencing-an earthquake Twitter.”

This must be how they felt reading our social media when San Francisco finally got “Hamilton.”

Today seems like a good day to say I was 8 years old in 1989 when the Loma Prieta earthquake hit here and I literally slept through it.

Congratulations to Lauren Wiser, who makes her MLB debut as today's official scorer. She's the 9th female official scorer in MLB history.
