Cubs rookie Matt Shaw skips game to attend funeral for Charlie Kirk: www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

Absolutely. It smells like groupthink from hell.

Yeah exactly. This is madness.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Ditto Blake Treinen. The dodgers have very clearly decided these games don’t matter. They’re trying to “get these guys right” when that’s no longer possible. These innings could be going to younger players who could really use the reps right now. It’s inexcusable stubbornness.

1896!!!!

Kirby Yates has an ERA over 5. It’s September 20. This is not fixable in the next week. No earthy reason he should be used in high leverage other than Dodgers front office being too stubborn to admit this signing did not work out.

The six year old in my life said of Raleigh: “his butt isn’t even bigger than the other catchers he must have big poops.” 💀💀💀

Ok but why does this look like inmates vs guards ☠️

BIG DUMPER

Very much doubt will smith will play in the dodgers first round playoff series. Then again they could gork him out on the painkiller cocktail they gave Freddie Freeman last October. He doesn’t have to be able to walk in a straight line to hit!!

#Rockies will not have the worse record in modern baseball history!

The Giants are four games out of the playoffs and have lost to the dodgers four times in the last week. 😬

Okay, as near as I can tell, this will be the first time since 1901 or 1902 since the Dodgers and Giants were tied in their regular season series.

Christian Koss is basically Che Guevara by baseball player standards.

And Miguel Vargas hit the homer to beat the padres and increase the dodgers lead by a game wait wat

Walker Buehler got the win to send the Dodgers to the playoffs wait wat

Kershaw’s final home start against the giants tonight is only on Apple TV. If you don’t have it you can get a 7 free trial here. Just cancel it before the 7 days are up. tv.apple.com/us/sporting-...

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Put odds up on polymarket and you could bankrupt him

Nate Silver should offer Bluesky and Twitter the opportunity to take a quiz on recent current events and see which one does better.

There’s no time left to hide. These are scary times, in reality and on the diamond. Don’t cheat yourself the ecstasy for the sake of feeding that fear. Good things are possible, even for you. Even for the Seattle Mariners. www.lookoutlanding.com/good-news/13...

I don't mind people doing this if they keep it moving! It's when i'm being held hostage in a confined space like a bus or a plane or waiting room next to someone else watching a violent TV show at full volume on their phone that makes me want to end everything.

So, for everyone who saw my flurry of Sinclair-related activity last night, I'd like to explain why.

Back in my day we used headphones to listen to our IPod shuffles on the F train. Now, people sit on trains and in hospital waiting rooms scrolling through TikTok at full blast with no headphones, subjecting everyone to their shitty algorithmic addiction. It’s so rude! We used to be a society!

Everyone who is brave enough right now to stand up and speak out and protest our fascist regime is doing this at great personal risk to their safety and livelihoods, as well as the awful toll it takes on one’s mental and physical health. None of this is easy. Most people do not have the courage. 🫡

So most of Los Angeles won’t even get to see this because it’s on Apple. Amazing. Great job to Rob Manfred as always.

more, dumber

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Interesting

Best hair in Los Angeles Dodger history is Eric Karros or Eric Karros.

Look, if the Dutch are going to own our asses they better do it with A+ content like this.

The “greatest Los Angeles Dodger” argument boils down to Sandy Koufax vs. Clayton Kershaw. This is like Babe Ruth vs. Willie Mays. Both sides are right.

Yes headlines are famously lazy and not written by the actual columnist. That is why we read the articles before we lose our shit on said columnist.

It’s absolutely fair to trash Clayton Kershaw for his shitty opinions on queer people but Jackie Robinson never played for the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is a column from the Los Angeles Times about the greatest Los Angeles Dodgers in their 67 year history here. Jackie played in Brooklyn.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Let’s fucking GO.

The Red Sox give a "Fuego" (as in, I throw fuego) shirt to any pitcher in their organization who hits 100 mph. But they don't round up - so 99.7 mph doesn't round up to 100.

Yes this is what I need. Thank you devs!!

Is there a “turn off re-skeet” button I’m missing on bluesky or is it hopefully the next thing the devs do? 🙏🏻 Or maybe just make it so that the same re-posts don’t show up over and over on our timelines unless someone we follow adds a quote? I LOVE this place. Just trying to help! 🐶

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

it is interesting to me... that we have observed in the span of two weeks the remembrances of two lives and the response to those two lives is very different ... what has been left behind polar opposites It's almost as if ... what you do matters

this is the shit i want to see
