Scott Pelley is a rock star in the world of television news. The two-minute clip from his NY Times interview where this starts says everything about his unimpeachable credentials and the essential role journalism has in a democracy. Incredibly powerful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePqd...

Wouldn't it be nice ...

For a year the gerrymandering wars have begged the question, what would a fair map of all 435 congressional districts look like? Well wonder no longer, I provided a nationwide map at @heartlandsignal.bsky.social heartlandsignal.com/2026/06/09/w...

Jason Benetti: “like when Ric Flair was kinda bored”

How fun will it be when Cristopher Sanchez's scoreless streak ends on a Fernando Tatis home run?

Probably easy to figure out who this is ... but all that green is just beautiful.

This is the student journalist who won the Mike Wallace Scholarship at tonight's Emmy Awards in NYC. @status.news reports 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley presented the award & responded to these comments saying “I know that Mike Wallace is looking down at you with pride at this very moment"

Guess we have a pretty good idea who'll be the NL starting pitcher for this year's All-Star Game in Philadelphia ...

This piece by Susan Saulny is one of the best pieces I've ever read on race and America because it's so personal. I promise it will be worth your time. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

May the last of the 50 states now be the first one in this endeavor.

This is getting ridiculous. If we want players to make great plays, we can't have them running into these hazards and getting hurt.

Amazing. As they came down the stretch, the horse with the red cap jockey (far left) somehow won the Kentucky Derby. Video (from bsky.app/profile/cjze...): bsky.app/profile/cjze...

"Why are all the journalists laid off now" this is why. Pretty simple.

Some really thought-provoking stuff here.

There should be a rule against hitting someone's 1st MLB pitch for a home run. 🧑‍⚖️

Today for @baseballprospectus.com I conducted some vital research, creating a taxonomy of TOOTBLANs. It's time for us to properly categorize the baserunning error, so we can both count them, and shame them, properly.

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

this is one of the more famous Things People Do in the world of Behavioral Economics and the research conclusion is that you can't explain it to people because anyone who can understand it already doesn't do it because they already realized it themselves

Now that your #fantasybaseball drafts are over, there's one more important step you can take: Learn from your mistakes while they're still fresh in your mind. Here's how I'm doing it. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I dunno, Mets. You have two consecutive force plays at home and the runners slide each time. Stay up! Sprint! Did anyone watch the World Series last year?

Historians … 1920s - The Great Depression 2020s - The Great Deception

Just watching this NBC baseball broadcast and it's ... excellent. They're talking about baseball, more baseball and a little inside baseball. Good stories and insight from Orel Hershiser, Luis Gonzalez & Clayton Kershaw (who seems to know what every pitcher is throwing). Jason Benetti is fantastic.

Come on, Pirates. You have to challenge that!

Someone correctly guessed Chase DeLauter. 300/400/500 potential. Fingers crossed he stays healthy.
