Adios Twitter…. threads.net/@adesikan
Great ballpark, probably the best in the minor leagues, but the game time temperature was 113F/45C 🥵. Definitely need to build in more shade if the A’s move here next season…. – at West Summerlin, Las Vegas

EXCLUSIVE: Last year I tweeted my story that @BorisJohnson had faked nearly dying of Covid-19, otherwise known as the #Deathgate scandal.
But now, after a 3 year investigation, we have discovered it was MUCH WORSE than that.
A multimedia THREAD from Stop Lying In Politics.
This is a must-read thread for anyone interested in the future of privacy within iOS. Apple is going to take a harder stance on app developers who use SDKs that could be gathering data for 'device fingerprinting'.....

Career update: after almost 40 years of being a sports fan, I accepted an offer to work in martech at MLB. I’ve tried not to mix my passions with my professional career, but this opportunity was too perfect to pass up. Look forward to going to “The Show” in a couple of weeks – at Manhattan, NY
Correct
Jurgen Klopp: "I feel a bit for Chelsea, but it’s good to see you cannot just bring loads of top players and think it works out. You have to build a team. The guys there underestimated that and gave their coaches an impossible job to do. You cannot train on two training pitches, you cannot have two dressing rooms, you have to create relationships and team spirit. Chelsea will be fine next year and be incredibly strong but just using them as an example at the highest level you cannot do that, and we will not do that at Liverpool.”

As a baseball fan for 30+ years, I’m am very keen to seen these new rules brought to MLB. There was a good amount of testing in the minor leagues and it will have a profound effect, and make the sport less HR/BB/SO obsessed…. nytimes.com/2023/03/27/sport…
“..which could point to a source of Manhattan’s upswing: affluent New Yorkers who left at the start of the pandemic.
“They’re rich or hip,” Mr. Beveridge said of those arriving recently” …….I guess I’m rich and/or hip 😏 nytimes.com/2023/03/30/us/ce…

since, there have been a total of O
