This rules but also @connormcknight.bsky.social and @jrfegan.bsky.social have given this team tons of quality coverage for years even when they were in the gutter (the White Sox that is). Awesome to see them in a champagne dugout.

Jfc White Sox, where is your offense, this is pathetic. Are they even gonna finish above .500?

on Labor Day, we celebrate the heroes before us who shed their blood to win worker independence for all

shaboozey made a jerry jeff walker song. genius

i think the big data center backlash has a lot to do with technology getting worse, costing more, building a surveillance state, destroying the environment, owned by a class of wealthy elite that coalesced behind the fascist regime that made clear they’d sacrifice humanity for their own power growth

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

In 2022 the White Sox were supposedly in their contention window that they’d tanked for years to build. They had two position players with a bWAR over 2.0. We’re 2/3 through the season and the 2026 White Sox have five and Antonacci is at 1.9.

Yeah, this makes a lot of sense. @edzitron.com

Want to help out with Bike Sox? We're looking for volunteers to help marshal (cork or caboose) our rides. Our route is pretty low key so this is a great way to get into marshaling. If you’re down to help, please fill out this short form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Boosts appreciated too.

@soxmachine.com Just a heads up, it looks like maybe people who were migrated over from Patreon don't get an alert when their account is supposed to renew? Just logged into Soxmachine and I no longer have a subscription, I assume this is because I just missed the renewal and didn't add a payment.

Elect me president. I vow to seize Stephen Miller and the rest of those ghouls’s assets and put them exclusively into winning the Olympics.

Girls Trip should get a Criterion release, or at the very least, a Shout Factory blu-ray.

We're used to seeing images like this of Nazi Germany. This is what an execution looks like. It's an image that will haunt America for years to come. Alex Pretti was a nurse whose life was dedicated to saving lives. In the eyes of the world, America has become the monster it used to fight against.

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event "Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show" This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

“.. we want you to know that what’s happening here is not normal. .. It is not law enforcement; it is terror. “.. It’s eroding all of our rights and should be a warning to other cities that find themselves enveloped in an ICE storm.” @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/13/l...

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.

Here's a short video of an Edison Park man confronting border patrol. You can hear others in the background. #chicago

Border Patrol Chief Bovino exited the federal courthouse in Chicago today, facing questions over his use of tear gas in communities despite a federal ban without justification. Before leaving, he stood in the truck doorway, fist-pumped, and then placed a CS grenade on the dashboard.

Please please please I need to go to bed.

How about a press conference made up of Democratic leadership near the White House with the demolished East Wing in the background, talking about the government shutdown and Trump's warped priorities and demolition of public goods, including not just the East Wing but health care and so much else?
