They're so fucking stupid it's a miracle they remember to breathe.

AIDE: Secretary, you need to consult lawyers HEGSETH: you know what I called those lawyers back when I was in the service? AIDE: ... HEGSETH: Say it AIDE:you called them JAGo HEGSETH: JAGoffs, that's right. Because they are. I don't need rules, war has no rules. AIDE: [clicks "end recording"]

Wow, that's a very weirdly normal hire for the Rox. Like, probably really good, actually?

Just your reminder about other clubs' leaks on the Brewers' willingness to trade Peralta: The Brewers are not *suddenly* going to decide to trade/not trade him. They've always been willing to move him. But it's a 3-1 count and they're not chasing. From last week: www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

So Attanasio, Melvin and Yount are all on Veterans Committee that is going to vote on Sunday. Interesting.

Trump was born on third base and managed to steal second.

Self scouting is a very important skill for an organization to have and the #Brewers have generally been very good at it, even accepting the occasional Reese Olson or Bowden Francis is going to get away when you make so many under-the-radar trades.

Word is that he got himself in shape, improved his stuff and generally became a better pitcher in Korea than he ever has before. This conract wasn't about the production, it is about the underlying improvements.

So I have been skeptical that a cap/floor would be any real improvement for small market fans over the current system for awhile now, but I couldn't quite put into words why I thought that was the case. Then there was a conversation on The Roundtable that made it all fall into place. 1/10

Surely the #LiberalMedia will freak out about this the way they did with Biden!

So I went to once again marvel at how Andrew Vaughn went from swimming at pitches outside the zone 36.1% of the time with CHW and 24.6% in MKE (league average 31.5) and I just noticed something: His in zone rate was basically the same (63.1 to 63.2). He really did just cut way down on the chase.

“A life in conservative politics is a shabby, grifting thing; that movement is a sweaty and stupid scrum of influencers and opportunists and true-blue sociopaths scrabbling for monetizable attention or one of the lucrative public-facing sinecures funded by reactionary billionaires.”

Steamer has Joey Ortiz hitting .249/.313/.382 and posting a 95 wRC+ in 126 games next year. 2.0 projected fWAR. FGDC takes those numbers, nudges up the playing time and projected 2.5 fWAR. Just in case you’re wondering why the #Brewers aren’t eagerly looking to replace him.

I once found a term paper on a printer in the computer lab at college. It was ostensibly in support of the death penalty but spent most of the paper arguing that wasn’t harsh enough and for torture instead. Quoted the Bible. Took it home and handed it around at Christmas for laughs. This is worse.

This was handed in for a PSYCH CLASS & when the prof said she didn't use empirical sources but rather submitted op-ed she whined about religious liberty + prof got suspended. I was a *Religious Studies* major; in my time she would have been rightly BBQ'd had she dared to hand in this absolute drek.

Well that’s moderately interesting.

“Neutrals”

semper fi or whatever but every time a republican does something like this the first thing i do is scan for what family member forced them to adopt narrowband empathy for one specific type of marginalized person

Leaders like Trump and Pete Hegseth should listen to and learn from those they have the honor of commanding, instead of giving them meandering nonsensical lectures.

Half the state of Wisconsin is hosting D3 playoff games today and it's absolutely beautiful.

Milwaukee is inventing new anti-Italian slurs. God bless this town

new: people across Wisconsin are increasingly standing up to AI data centers. at the old Foxconn site, citizens are thankful for Microsoft, but they said no to a new Microsoft data center 20 miles away. worries range from a loss of open land to meager tax payments www.cnbc.com/2025/11/25/m...

Howdee!

#Brewers had 10 of the 100 players with fewer than 3 years of service time who qualified for bonuses. Almost $5M more in money made in 2025 by Brewers players total.

Fuck Off Chelsea FC You ain't got no history

Cards are committing to the rebuild. Good for the short term….more reason to be wary of them for the mid/long term. #Brewers

Tom Brady gets it, tho.

This must be the place. #GoPackGo

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths 2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

Seems like a correctable issue?

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Mears and Mitchell just aren’t making enough for them to have to worry about their limitations. They can focus on the upside, which is considerable in both cases, and if worst comes to worst they can demote Mitchell or release either of them and it doesn’t really even ripple the payroll.

So @adammccalvy.bsky.social says the #Brewers tendered all their eligible guys, so I guess I don't need to think about that for the rest of the night!

This reminded me of that game where a #1 OSU team just rained 3 after 3 for 40 minutes and won by like 30. That was a very good team playing very well.

Yeah, you just gotta keep putting it up and hope they start falling at some point.

For CNN I'm looking to talk to young men (feel free to interpret "young" broadly) who are actively sports betting sober—as in, you made a conscious decision to abstain for your wellbeing or you quit gambling—but are still sports fans. If that's you: Hannah[dot]keyser[at]cnn[dot]com

This is a fabulous read: "Bovino’s Border Patrol raiders have one playbook — terror — and it’s less effective each time they deploy it. So far, it’s aging in nuclear half-lives. The shock value is wearing off..."

I demand that Dave Portnoy and Stephen A Smith be sentenced to form a two man human centipede for crimes against humanity.
