The Brewers are on their way to sweep the World Series! But did you know Milwaukee almost lost the Brewers altogether? Here's how Wisconsin kept the Crew right where they belong.

It will never cease to amaze me that USC asked for this. They asked to routinely make cross-country trips to the Great Lakes in late fall/early winter, to face teams that pride themselves on one thing only, that being bone-shattering defense And they thought his would go well for them

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

watching the brewers' offense is like watching a wave destroy a sand castle; it's not pretty and it never happens the same way twice so you're never sure exactly how it's going to happen, but it's going to happen

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Man said “oh, ya” with allll the ketchup on it. That was an “oh, ya” about Wisconsinites, for the Wisconsinites.

DHS claims the man ran in front of their SUV. You be the judge.

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

250 million birds flew across America last night, tracked by radar. Migration season is upon us, and it’s wilder than you could imagine. Birdcast’s live migration maps and forecasts (from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are brilliant, and you can find them here. birdcast.org/migration-to...

🔥 Jon Stewart Defends Democratic Socialism: “When you call it SoCiALiSm, I think it’s a misnomer — It’s about strengthening a safety net for a country that has suffered too long overvaluing capital and money, and undervaluing labor and work. That’s it.”

🚨BIG ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 InfoWars endorses the #MAJA movement's mission to rename Austin to JONESTOWN for the late Alex Jones, who popped like a balloon.

Quick Tip: "Don't speak ill of the dead" means dont demean, or spread lies, or speak malicious untruth about dead people, who cant defend themselves Accurately describing someone's life and legacy is not "speaking ill" It's the truth - which is self justifying in that it is the truth!

The brokenness of American youth sports as anything but an extraction engine for administrators and grifter/advisers is hardly limited to soccer but yes.

Dakota Schmidt@dakotaschmidt.bsky.social

Also, its tough when you look up soccer in your local area and see how much parents have to pay to register kids for academies and competitive leagues.

I fucking LOVE this analogy

America has gotten to that last part of Monopoly where the game is effectively over and we're all just watching the Elites suck up all the money, nobody else is allowed to really keep playing the game & we're all getting more pissed by the minute. Flip the damn board over already.

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.
