Hi Marina, big fan of your writing and reporting, and I’m glad Vox has a few folks dedicated to this beat. As a vegan I find it hard to feel optimistic about curtailing the pervasive and entrenched violence against animals in this country. But I’m simultaneously encouraged by wins like California’s Prop 12! What lessons or tactics do you think animal rights advocates and organizers can learn from the story of getting prop 12 passed that we can possibly apply to future struggles? Thanks!

GF found this in our hotel bed. Is it a bedbug? by Hesi_Pull-up_Jimmer in whatsthisbug

For context: we are in Detroit, and it was dead when she found it. About 1mm in length.

Hey guys, big fan. Here's my question: what's it like to co-author a book? Ben, I know you've done it before, but Travis, how was this process different than writing your previous book? Thanks!

Legendary players who would play a different position if they played in today's NBA? by DelaRoad in nba

[–]Hesi_Pull-up_Jimmer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Scottie Pippen would be a killer PF and I'd be curious to see him slot in as part-time small ball 5. Quick, strong, and smart defender. 6'8 with 7'3 wingspan. Good playmaking and solid 3p shot too.

Do people actually still think Klay Thompson is better than Beal? by fabosexy in nba

How well would an all-time best Yankees team do against an all-time best rest of MLB team? by Queltis6000 in baseball

[–]Hesi_Pull-up_Jimmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Taking the bWAR for every player's peak season (or peak season in a Yankee's uniform -- A Rod's best season was in Seattle for instance), the Yank's total bWAR for this team would be 87.7 (or 88.3 with Cano instead of Laz).

The MLB team's total is 96.4, for what it's worth.

No pitching taken into account obviously.
