Men's college soccer celebrated its move to a fall-spring season. But behind the scenes, there's a strong push to block it. ~150 schools have already submitted rescission votes. The NCAA D-1 board will discuss today. News + explainer, free to read @theathletic.com:

This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948. An air inversion trapped the pollution spewed out by U.S. Steel-owned factories in Donora, Pennsylvania. The Donora Fog killed 20 people and sickened 6000 others. Let's talk about this deadly legacy of industrial pollution. That photo was taken at noon!

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

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 have added a couple of lists of some of my favorite books (all science fiction) -- I highly recommend everything listed! bookshop.org/shop/astroka...

After sitting on the account for a few years, I finally set up an affiliate link on Bookshop.org -- if you use this link to pre-order my new book, you both support independent bookstores and give me a bit of an extra boost! bookshop.org/a/104234/978...

Not a fan of dumb penalties in the neutral zone, and Flyers have had a few of these this year by guys I hope aren't permanent roster spots

We may bitch about certain ownership groups in Philly, but thank goodness it's not this asshole

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

READING BOOKS IS ACTIVE RESISTANCE!

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Trump: "While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country! I said right from the beginning he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE. LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors & Heroes who died for the American Flag, & all that our Country stands for!"

Putting out a general call here: Are there any historians of past left movements who would like to come on the radio to talk about the historical parallels to Trump's NSPM-7 directive? Hit my DMs!

It's reasonable to wonder how Bonk & Knuble fit in this lineup once the injured guys are back. But also: who cares? They're playing better than most of those guys were pre-injury anyway. And most of the healthy guys, too. Make everyone else earn their spots. Bonk & Knuble have.

11 years ago, the Brewers raised $1m by selling Timeless Tickets for the best available seat to any future game including the World Series. Now fans are only getting 400 level and standing room. It's not what fans bargained for and the fix is woefully inadequate. Here's what's happening

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

upping this again, if you or someone you know has an extra ticket and you're not asking for $2800 you would make a 65 year old man who's been talking about 1982 my entire life very happy

well going to throw this out there: if anyone has an extra single standing room only ticket for game 1 of the world series they'd like to get rid of (for face value), my dad is looking for a ticket

I just said, "dare I say this PP looks good? Puck AND people moving?" And my husband and son started spitting and knocking wood and screaming at me like I was jinxing a no-hitter
