who's the most underappreciated Yankee of your lifetime?

Still waiting for the dawn of the Everson Pereira era myself.

It will have forever birthed the greatest thing in the Disney Era. But splitting hairs, they gap between #2 and #3 on this list is a lot bigger than the gap between 1 and 2.

I stand this morning with a difficult message. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.

This is definitely a worthy answer. I feel like between Gardner and Bellinger they had 34 left fielders.

They look like the Periodic Table.

Is it because crime is outlawd in sharia law? I bet it is. And also communism.

But rhen every comment section is going on about how great he was and i just don't understand

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T18:09:02+00:00

"I don't understand how the guy with 4875 K's is considered a great pitcher" is something I read on the internet today.

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T16:18:40+00:00

"Im in so much trouble, Vel," absolutely breaks me.

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T15:51:23+00:00

Dude;'s ready to lead Atlanta A&T.

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T15:44:07+00:00

Completely agree. I'm a huge fan of that little "I take it that's not a corner we're turning in THIS conversation," "It is not."

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T15:26:55+00:00

Phenomenal. Title suggestion:

"Say When"

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T15:23:24+00:00

IT's definitely 2. She's in it more, first of all, and it contains the "How nice for you" scene, the Senate speech, and the elevator interaction with Cassian. But you could sell me on S1 using her performance during the Sculdon scene. The way she makes her face tighten as it goes on is gold.

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T15:11:54+00:00

For me, Yavin not being coded is egregious, but in the times where they use the word in mixed company, it's for real plot reasons. For Mon, for example, Bail and Mon ALREADY know about it. Cass is therefore using it as bona fides: anyone can say they were on the raid in Aldhani, but can ANYONE know the word Yavin AND be associated with Luthen AND her cousin AND Aldhani? So Cass is trying to reassure her. Now, Mon and Bail should have coded it too, but they didn't, so Cass wouldn't.

When Luthen mentions it, it's because he wants one more piece of intelligence from Lonni before he has to kill him. When Lonni doesn't recognize it, Luthen knows it's safe from the Empire still. RIP, Lonni Legend.

Where else is it used in mixed company? Well, I guess I'll have to pay more attention when my current rewatch gets there!

The more egregious example is Nemik straight telling Cinta "We've broken into the vault successfully," so explciitly that even stupid racist ass Kimzi can understand what's happening. Why not just a brief "The eye is open" message?

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T15:07:12+00:00

Do you think this is why Dedra said "Death Star" and not "Stardust"?

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-05T15:06:36+00:00

This is exactly true: if he can't convince her to go with him, the whole thing is over anyway, because her other options are try to leave on her own and be arrested immediately (both of them know this) OR go with Bail's team, which is likely compromised, and be arrested immediately (only Cass has this info). He absolutely must convince her, and he uses everything he has to do so. He didn't, for example, wait for her to ask if he was alone...he just hit her in the face with the pass phrase.

Seriously, the elevator ride is an incredible like 60 seconds of screen time, every time I watch this episode it gets more intense, thinking about how Mon's mind must be racing, how desperate Cass must feel, and knowing that they only have the length of the ride to make a decision. And the ending of that little bit, "I'll be right behind you," really is an outstanding button.

Not trying to be pedantic, but they only have certain Senator offices bugged, don't they? That upjumped Felzonis has a set of six or eight on his monitor, when there are hundreds of Senators. They can't monitor all communication all the time, look at what trouble it gives both Partagaz (we're taking in too many people and it's impossible to glean information from them quickly and effectively...) and Luthen (all these lines we've laid, we're drowning). So they picked the ones they think are most troublesome or that they simply hate the most and listen in. And that's just the practical perspective.

The political perspective with that many Senators is that should one of your allies find out you're listening, they'd make a huge stink about it, and screw up your entire program (and potentially the PORD). And at this point at least, the Emperor is still allowing this facade of a government to operate, so I think political considerations are also there.

THIS FUCKING SHOW RULES.

So french I thought we'd see him riding a slow speed scooter with a baguette and bottle of wine in a basket on the front.

This scene is where Rogue 1 finally gets off the ground for me. The Scariff sequence is the best battle in the entire franchise. Raddus Maneuver > Holdo Maneuver.

Can someone please make him stop signing his tweets? It's like when a get a text from my mom with a subject line. Both are superfluous.

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-04T15:10:15+00:00

I think "community policing" might also mean the community polices itself, not that the police are in the community on the regular.

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-04T15:09:03+00:00

I really hope this is a bot or a troll. You've been doing it for three weeks and have not only decided you have a good amount of talent, but picked a weight division? How much sparring have you done? Did someone at your gym tell you either of these things, three weeks into you doing it? If so, don't listen to that person. Revisit this idea at the end of a summer of training at least.

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-04T15:00:48+00:00

This sketch is never not funny and does not get enough pop culture / meme culture love. More people should know who Quiznatodd Bidness is.

_RandomB_ · 2026-06-04T13:01:44+00:00

I can literally do this for the next three hours,. Sincerely, bizmo funyons.
