HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

I admit that I don’t really have it in me to clown on Mark DeRosa. After all, he got the job more or less *because* he’s willing to be a stooge, not in spite of it. The problem is with USA Baseball being the last ones to realize everyone else takes the WBC seriously: www.bnd.com/sports/mlb/s...

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

The lesson here (aside from it somehow looking like I'm wearing a wig): Ladies, never let a makeup artist you've never met talk you into a smoky eye and a nude lip. IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE.

Somehow I missed the pre-sports Mina Kimes appearance on CSPAN that hit the net a couple years ago

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Lithuanian Olympic uniforms by Issey Miyake for the 1992 games in Barcelona. This was Lithuania's first time in the Olympics after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Fabric was cut and shaped using heat, not scissors or sewing machines.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

We have two new Hall of Famers. Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones have been elected by the BBWAA. We'd had 2 center fielders elected in the previous 45 years ... and now 2 in one night!

At Nolan Arenado’s introductory press conference in St. Louis, Bill DeWitt Jr. said it was “incumbent” on the Cardinals to acquire “premium players.” On Tuesday, Chaim Bloom spoke to the perils of “emotion and sentiment and nostalgia.” How they got from there to here: www.bnd.com/sports/mlb/s...

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

I will never really get the Collinsworth disdain that is all over the internet. A little over the top about good QBs from time to time but I think he's one of the best to ever do his job
