It’s waaay past time to put this goof in the barrel.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

no coming back from this without punishing the entire chain of command from the officers carrying out this shit to the people at the top giving the orders

Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."

The Orioles were waving to the crowd after their last home game from in front of the dugout. Then Pete Alonso waved everyone onto the field, lifted his cap and said thanks to Baltimore

I kind of can’t believe Basallo’s allowed to stay in the game after that foul tip brained him. He took that thing square in the mask and was dazed.

Protester: “He’s just everything that is wrong in this kind of society, and he’s here. It’s just not right. I don’t know why we welcomed him here… We are a peaceful nation and he’s coming over here with blood on his hands from all the wars he’s doing.” 📍Ireland

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Fourteen years to the date, Manny Machado and Christian Encarnacion-Strand

Andy Kostka@afkostka.bsky.social

Christian Encarnacion-Strand with the fake-out of the decade, in a play reminiscent of the great Manny Machado moment on Sept. 12, 2012 — amazingly, exactly 14 years later. CES faked a throw to first, then fired back to Gunnar Henderson, covering third, to nab Andrés Giménez

Absolutely shameful kissing of Putin’s boot.

Witkoff: "President Putin, thank you so much for having us. We were sitting outside just now, me, Jared, Kirill, Yuri, and we were talking about, when we retire, we'll have all these incredible stories and memories, and yours will be right at the top of it all."

Because I’m a fan, I’m rooting for the Orioles to make the playoffs this season. But I recognize that, if they do, there’s something deeply wrong with the playoff system.

Does it bug you that Narvaez’s catchers helmet still has that weird Red Sox number on it? Prominently. Like right in the middle of his head. It sorta bugs me.
