i just learnt that a hockey player here in the UK got kicked out of a game because he took a penalty, left the penalty box to the stands while serving it, and came back to the ice with a pair of glasses for the referee, and i maintain that things shouldn’t be illegal if they’re also hilarious

If my doctor is checking AI I’m getting a new fucking doctor

RFK Jr says Sam Altman told him it's "malpractice for a doctor to make a diagnosis or to make a prescription w/o at least checking AI.” RFK Jr says AI “can give you a second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country." I asked OpenAI+Anthropic if they agree; never heard back

The Cheesecake Factory chain is apparently experiencing an influx of new customers from the performative MAGA cult. Thoughts and prayers to its servers as they watch their tips nose-dive.

Hey, you already knew RFK Jr is a crackpot piece of shit working to kill millions of people, but did you know he's a *racist* crackpot piece of shit working to kill millions of people?

RFK Jr goes full white supremacist in supporting GOP's Mike Rogers for Senate saying "Arabs Don’t Produce Literature,’ Only ‘Hatred’ and ‘War." Of course that is BS. BUT key is RFK said this in Michigan to help Rogers--will media call on Rogers to denounce it?! www.mediaite.com/politics/rfk...

Burnt out and tired of politics? So is everyone else. It’s a never-ending cycle. GO FUCKING VOTE ON TUESDAY IF YOU’RE IN THE U.S. IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY VOTED.

I knew the Brewers were excellent. But after doing some research I feel comfortable in saying a win tonight puts them among the best of World Series champions. Regular season success. Postseason dominance. And how they did it. www.baseballamerica.com/stories/brew...

Halloween Candy is up 15% from last year. A 100 piece bag of candy is 71% more expensive than it was 5 years ago and most chocolate companies have been moving towards lab grown ingredients. The product is getting worse AND more expensive. Happy Halloween, everyone.

So what’s the plan when Democrats win in the midterms and Trump comes out and says it’s all rigged? Is Hakeem Jeffries going to release a statement that’s like “wow, gee whiz guys, Chuck Schumer and I had an epic high five about it! Can’t wait for 2028!”?

There are 47 instances in postseason history of a player having 2 hits in an inning Jackson Chourio is the only player to do it twice (2025 NLDS G1, 1st)

7 straight two-out hits? 8 straight two-out runs? 5 runs in a span of 8 pitches? Six runs in a span of 13 pitches? The Brewers' 5th inning in Game 3 was what you call Weird & Wild column material. So ... How historic was it? You're welcome! www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

nytimes.comBrewers’ 8-run explosion was an inning unlike any other in World Series history (Gift Article)Seven straight two-out hits! … Eight straight two-out runs! And to think it all happened after replay overturned an inning-ending out.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

It is two hours and 15 minutes before first pitch. First audible "Let's Go Brewers" chants inside the stadium (Rays fans then working to drown them out).

How rude of him to call Trump ‘tinpot’. Probably didn’t even say “thank you.”
