Not in the majors. Commissioner Bart Giamatti was going to add one, but he died suddenly in 1989 and the next commissioner said no.
Pam Postema was going to be the 1st one 35 years ago.

This is a blast from the past, but a good reminder that reframing a bad situation and bravely stepping up to the challenge is brilliant:

Brave man. Today the racist shit would call the other members of his Proud Boy club and beat the shit out of the guy. While the cops watched.

The mayor of Toms River, New Jersey—Daniel T. Rodrick—is a Republican and, apparently, an asshole. A recall was initiated just last month.

Today is the 90th anniversary of Social Security!!! A great program that saved the lives of countless seniors, people with disabilities and kids whose parents died. Celebrate the achievement and work to improve it and other needed social infrastructure. I just made up that term - I think it’s a good one.

I like it. It makes a good update from the “social safety net.” Safety nets in circuses and such kinda worked but kinda didn’t. People were pretty mangled by safety nets, even if the net saved their lives. We should be working towards a social feather bed rather than a “safety” net.

And it sounds better than “giant inflatable crash pad”
or “professional stunt pad”
or “fully custom fall protection” … but fwiw it’s unlikely I’ll ever get to see any of that money. My retirement age is nearly the same exact window that social security monies will be fully drained.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I love that prior to the name change, Berlin graffiti artists would simply add an Umlaut to the “o”, changing it to “Möhrenstrasse”: “Carrots Street”
