Nothing changes in baseball. In 1915, they were discussing shortening the length of games with pitchers urged not to delay between pitches. Players were also told to avoid unnecessary arguments with umpires. Hah! https://t.co/KW88A2xONV — PolitiTweet.org

@IDoTheThinking This isn’t my field at all. But older parents having babies much later than in the 1970s would keep families tethered to neighborhoods with good schools for much longer than before. — PolitiTweet.org

@margotroosevelt I read the LAT review after I finished "Migrations." It was a little more critical of the novel than I was. — PolitiTweet.org

I want to recommend to everyone the most powerful novel that I have read all year -- "Migrations" by Charlotte McConaghy. I don't want to describe because it will belittle it. But let me say that I will never forget reading it. — PolitiTweet.org

@fordm I grew up hearing about the Radical Republicans in high-school history classes. And, trust me, Radical was not designed in this context as a compliment. But, thankfully, I did learn the name of Robert E. Lee's horse. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattizcoop @BilldeBlasio I'm with you on this. For the pivotal second Comey intervention in the 2016 campaign, you needed: 1). Technophobe Hillary needing someone to print out her emails; 2). Huma sharing a home computer; 3). The FBI investigating Weiner's behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

The highlight of my afternoon was reading Liebling on Ernie Pyle. Having just read "The Wayward Pressman" and some of Liebling's World War II dispatches, I had a hunger for more. And this portrait of Pyle for the first time made him a real person instead of a newspaper icon. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm dubious about this Times Trend: "It's unlikely that when Irwin Shaw wrote 'The Girls in Their Summer Dresses'...he could have envisioned a day when those 'girls' would as likely be men." So find me a city where 50% of those wearing dresses are men. https://t.co/zXCkuLQuCT — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs @daveweigel @jbarro Don't forget the endless TV recycling of first-place votes (slated to be released on primary night) and all the models created to guess what will then happen with Ranked Choice Voting. Predictions are dubious given no NYC history with this way of voting and most polls are shaky. — PolitiTweet.org

And we don't have any idea what percentage of the voters will figure out Ranked Choice Voting and vote for more than one candidate. About the only thing we know is that it is hard, at this point, to be in the mid-single digits in the polls. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeff Greenfield @greenfield64

Do these polls calculate Ranked Choice Voting? If not, do they tell us anything remotely informative? https://t.co/KBxfrK3Ev0

@PrimeNewYork @stuloeser Link doesn't work. But I'm not one to let facts get in the way of a too-good-to-check story. Seriously, apologies if I'm wrong. Though I did talk baseball fandom with Hillary in the White House in 1994 and she never once mentioned the Yankees. — PolitiTweet.org
