Jose Altuve recently hit a home run in each of the first three innings of a game. The logistics are amazing. But it has happened three times before.

I've been watching a lot of Netflix recently. I think the writer's strike has been going on longer than they say.

Equality by Fiat

The elimination of the Senate dress code is more important than it appears. The highest-profile legislative body in the Free World has decided to broaden its standards--e.g. lower its criteria--to accommodate Fetterman's unconventional clothing choices.

It is a virtual symbol of the problematic preoccupation in the West, the inclusion of the outlier under the umbrella of the bell curve. The need the culture has to normalize the peripheral. 

Apparently, the ideal in America is a bell curve that is not a curve, it is a narrow, straight, vertical line. It is an ideal without criteria or quality.
