This is an interesting thing. Looks like testimonies of people who left the MAGA movement- how they got into it and why.

Leaving a cult is really hard, so I really respect the people who are speaking from this place.

The more I learn about baseball, the more interesting it seems, which is weird because I'm not really a sports person

Anyways I wanna share something neat that I learned but I'm gonna preface this by saying that I'm not "into" baseball. I'm just visiting the baseball zoo and reading the little blurbs the have on the cages

With that out of the way, when you swing a bat, your momentum naturally goes with the bat, right? So for righties, immediately after batting, their momentum starts to take them to third base, meaning they have to fight against the bat's momentum before running to first

But for lefties, the bat's momentum is already taking them to first! Apparently lefties can, on average, reach first base a sixth of a second faster than righties

Apparently it also makes a difference in receiving a pitch, since a righty receiving a pitch from a righty will see it coming from behind their shoulder, but a lefty receiving a pitch from a righty can clearly see the ball

Because of this, they started bringing in lefty pitchers to counteract the lefty batters and the result is a sport with 2-4x as many lefties as the general public

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

I have been on Tumblr just long enough to find this an extremely funny choice of business name.

The company caters to caring for babies and toddlers.

Every time I start looking at vocal range videos to try to get back into practice singing I feel like I'm being gaslit.

Labor recently announced $11.3 billion on housing as if it was new - but that's just a continuation of funding started under Morrison combined with additional funding secured by Greens negotiations. Labor is putting on the bells and whistles to repackage the same money while giving out more to property investors in tax handouts.

Is it any coincidence that Labor policy benefits landlords by perpetuating the housing crisis and about 75% of the Labor Party have investment properties?

Vote the landlords out.

Vote in the Greens.

I think this is just a trend everywhere but I've been very frustrated this week by how much admin work is being outsourced to me as the patient/customer.

My orthodontist tells me I can make an appointment with the surgeon. I call the surgeon. They tell me I need a new referral. I call the orthodontist. They do a referral. I call the surgeon. Referral didn't come through. They tell me about their special unique system we have to use. I call the ortho again and walk them through the referral. I call the surgeon. They say the referral was missing some details so they have to do it again. I call the ortho.

The insurance company calls me about repair shops. I give them the name of the repair shop which I already gave them yesterday. They say they're not in their system but I can use them, but I have to call the repair shop to ask them to contact the insurance company. I call the repair shop and they say the insurance company is supposed to email them.

I feel like at a certain point these constant fetch quests become unreasonable?? Is it too much to expect these groups to communicate with each other instead of making me run back and forth between them???
