Waking up to avoid baseball box scores. WNBA is better

Your work is not bullying or yelling at the same people the right is targeting, unless you're a fucking fascist.

I heard Bill Maher finally hit the big time tonight. Congrats to him, I guess.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

I’m seeing a lot of checked swing discourse. Can we please PLEASE not automate and digitize yet another umpire decision, stopping the live action game to show a video game graphic animating how a swing went .01 inches farther than it should.

Waking up to read another bad box score. Looks like I might need to stop reading box scores, or stop waking up.

waking up on a beautiful Saturday morn to read a bad box score

what the actual fuck? this person is the Vice President.

This is my favorite bit of “analytical data” for the entire 2026 MLB season. It’s awesome: clear, accurate, indisputable in its statistical significance.

With MLB and WNBA playoffs in full chaotic swing, it’s a great time to remind people that every playoff team, except one, will lose its last game and its last series of the year. Losing is inevitable for nearly all playoff teams.

It's just after 1pm on another picture perfect fall day in Chicago. So far today, masked federal agents have taken people from Brighton Park and suburban Aurora. ~1 year after the "Blitz" began, the alerts haven't subsided. ICE is still breaking windows and destroying worlds.

I just had a realization. The core issue with AI is that it doesn’t really satisfy any human needs as identified in Mazlow’s Hierarchy of Needs. We don’t need it. In fact, AI actually gets in the way of us meeting many needs.

We're in such dire media straits. I understand why MS NOW thinks they should break into regular coverage with news of their free press lawsuit against the White House, and also, it's so telling that they don't break into coverage for human beings being deported to random countries.

Ugh. I hate instant replay. It’s a big moment in the game, Suzuki makes a great fielding play and a strong accurate throw home for a close play. Cincinnati challenges. And all we see are 5 or 6 replays in super slo-mo of the slide and tag at home, no replays of Suzuki’s very good defensive play.

Advocating against Talarico's new rightward tack on trans kids in sports and gender affirming care is not advocating for Paxton. It's advocating against Talarico's new rightward tack on trans kids in sports and gender affirming care.

For everyone who is suddenly aware of Ed Sheeran, and curious to learn more… Here’s some of his best work! m.youtube.com/watch?v=keOa...

USA women win the gold! Breanna Stewart and Jackie Young are two of the most amazing all-time championship players at every level.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

So, humans created weapons that can instantly destroy the human race & make Earth uninhabitable. We’ve designed very tenuous safeguards that rely on human thought & morality, to stop ourselves from using them. And now we’re creating a machine that can think for itself and has no morality. Hmm.

I love outfield assists

Baseball game ending at 8:30 is a beautiful thing

Best concerts I ALMOST got to see, including reasons: George Thorogood (canceled) George Clinton and Parliament (canceled) Tricky (too tired) Chicago (left after the opening act—Earth, Wind and Fire—was so good that I didn’t want to ruin my experience)

this is wonderful!

I very vaguely remember the Vietnam war nightly news updates, and protests on college campuses. Much more clearly, I remember Watergate.

An entertainment company that pretends to be “news” and makes its money by manufacturing drama, complaining that another entertainment business has too much drama.
