Back on @bachlaw.bsky.social’s bullshit again.

Shoutout to Tyrese Haliburton for being a great human being

It’s neat how the entire intellectual framework of one political party has collapsed down to “say things that feel vaguely correct if your brain is a stew of Fox News blurbs”

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

I don’t think a state that is threatening wars of territorial aggression and has random death squads wandering about its mid-tier cities assassinating civilians should be hosting the World Cup

You know what Congress can do: open its own investigation into Renee Good’s death and make its own referral to DOJ. And if the Republicans don’t want to do it, I think we know have 10 attorneys and 1 FBI agents perfectly willing to testify at shadow hearings held by the Democrats.

Digging into the stash I bright back from England…

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

It is really amazing how much she has done to uttlerly destroy CBS News in under a year.

Reality: Brewers fans who turn 21 in 2026 have seen their team make the playoffs nine times. They had good non-playoff teams to follow in five more seasons. They were 6, 13, and 20 when their team went to the NLCS. National writers: why don’t the Brewers care about winning?!?

It’s been awhile since I went on a proper rant on @mketailgatenetwork.bsky.social but I sure as hell have one ready to roll for Sunday morning.

no matter how hard Greg Bovino tries to exude rugged masculinity he always comes off like Don Knotts in a Portlandia sketch

Most of the moral messaging in children's television programming when I was a kid was utterly uncontroversial at the time, and would be attacked as woke indoctrination today.

You’re not gonna believe this, but actually….

Sorta bracing myself for all my favorite (national) baseball podcasts to weigh in on the Freddy trade, cause I just know so much of the analysis is going to fall into the same old predictable narrative silliness.

Late night Brewers trade chatter from your boys @cyrthogg.bsky.social audioboom.com/posts/883802...

I think the Brewers did pretty well in the Peralta deal, maybe even better than they did in the Burnes trade: www.nytimes.com/athletic/699...

It's funny that he admits that now when he and everyone else was swearing up and down when it happened that it wasn't gonna impact the decision. Love ya Matt!

The thing that's really sending me in the reaction to the Freddy trade is how this is some major blow to the Brewers chances to compete in the playoffs. You know, the Freddy who has a career 4.32 ERA and 4.70 FIP in 33 1/3 IP playoff innings? I love the guy, but he was no postseason stud.

The Brewers truly got their ass beat once in a recent postseason, and only then by a rotation literally nobody could have beaten in that series (the Blue Jays faced a lesser version later on, sorry if this offends), which team they had swept 6-0 that year. This narrative just doesn’t work.

Anyone else rooting for the #Brewers to spend exactly 8 million dollars on a veteran starter on a one year contract? For the narrative, I mean.

Freddy is an all-time great Brewer and will be missed. I think the folks that follow the team more closely are handling this better because we just assumed it was going to happen all winter (and remember they already extended him once) and this return is probably better than expected.

Oh, are you a national writer with a take on a Brewers transaction? That’s cute.

If he hits the ball in AAA and Oritz starts cold...people are gonna be calling for the change real fast. Which is fine, I guess, but I'm not sure his long term future is really at SS anyways.

Might depend on how many size 36 jerseys they have

548 PA in AA 181 PA in AAA He'll need to earn his way onto the team in spring, I would suspect.

BRING ME ZAK LITTEL NOW ARNOLD!

I know the Brewers trading their best starter only making $8 million coming off a 97-win season is going to be a narrative here; it's not the reason the Brewers dealt him. The Brewers feel they gain plus value trading a guy with a year left. You can argue with the process, but it ain't a $$ thing.

I'm sure Mets fans don't care much about this right now, but... I'm finalizing the Top 100 and farm rankings and it works out that, by a tiny margin (i.e. subject to change), this trade takes the Mets farm system from #1 ranked to #6...and also moves the Brewers from #6 to #1.

Jett Williams is the best prospect the #Brewers have aquired since who?

There's the final deal. Pretty happy. Would have liked to keep Myers and see if we could turn him around, but I understand that Murph is out on him and so the opportunities probably weren't gonna be there.

They are not doing this because they don't want to pay the 8 million. They're doing this because the fact he's making 8 million in his last year makes him a valuable trade chip for them to continue to restock their supply of young talent. It's the #Brewers making the system work for them.

Brewers are in advanced talks to send Freddy Peralta to the Mets, a source confirms.

You should be angry about this and you should not be in solidarity with the players here. Structuring the contract to avoid state income taxes is a thing they do to steal from you.

Someone is gonna give these guys a 12 gauge hello and people are gonna lose their minds.

Owners slashing payroll while rebuilding is pretty standard stuff. I would be much more concerned about the apparent lack of investment on club infrastructure unless he’s turned over a new leaf on that side of things and I just didn’t hear about it.

completely unironically, this is how we'll know

A desperate Preller is a generous Preller

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

People bout to find out what a mean, crazy person was actually on their TV all those years.

I was very excited for a second…then I saw the subhead.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.
