The Trump administration is killing people in international waters, calling for killing US protestors, sending federal troops into US cities, calling for arrest of mayors & governors, arresting people based on skin color, blackmailing universities, indicting opponents, and shut down the government

A'ja Wilson's 2025: ◽️WNBA scoring title ◽️Regular-season MVP ◽️Defensive Player of the Year ◽️WNBA championship ◽️Finals MVP Best season ever?

seems original..

The centerfield camera angle is terrible. It reduces the game to only 3 players and one tiny part of the field. I wish that a camera angle from behind home plate was used more often (all the time!). This is the best seat in the stadium, please show it on the broadcast.

who pays the hospital less? who is this “they” that they keep talking about?

The Cubs have more walks than strikeouts! STOP THE PRESSES!

There was just a commercial during the Yankees-Blue Jays game for a company making survival food, like 3-, 6-, or 12-month supplies of freeze dried family meals. The ad began with a white man with a flannel dirt and a long beard saying “we all know food shortages and lack of food supply are coming…”

In their 5 postseason games (43 innings hitting), the Chicago Cubs now have 58 strikeouts (and only 10 walks) 45% of their outs are by strikeout. 😬

Federal officers are invading Chicago; harassing, attacking, and shooting Chicago citizens with lethal guns, chemical weapons, military vehicles, drones, and physical assaults. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Baseball announcers and writers, please stop using the word “insane” to describe acts that are really good. It’s very offensive. There are dozens of good words: outstanding, remarkable, awesome, amazing, unbelievable, unprecedented, excellent, superb, and so many more. Use one of these!

Critical race theory's analysis of the law basically said that all the liberal pretense has racism built-in and at the end of the day, the law protects and sustains racism and the constitutional law wasn't really there to get in the way Too bad people didn't bother to learn what CRT actually was

Dang, Las Vegas is looking good! And Jackie Young, 21 points in the third! That’s awesome.

“I’ll give you five good reasons…”

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

In 4 postseason games (34 innings batting), the Chicago Cubs now have 47 strikeouts, and 6 walks. 46% of their outs are by strikeout. wow.

(sigh) I hate watching the Brewers. I wish the Cubs were playing against some other team in this series

Deciding not to Defund the Police maybe wasn’t such a good idea. More police & better funded police, just creates more violence. As a society, we don’t need this many police forces with well-funded military weapons and equipment. But now we have them, and they’ll be everywhere in our lives.

In the 3-game Wild Card Series, the Chicago Cubs only drew 3 walks. They had 35 strikeouts 47% of their 75 total outs were by strikeout.

I stand by this post

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community. thetriibe.com/2025/09/feds...

Aces vs. Mercury. Best of 7. It’s going to be a fun-to-watch final!

Every team in the MLB Postseason relies on immigrant and migrant workers for its success (every MLB organization has players from other countries, here on temporary work visas) It’s time for MLB to honor the importance of immigration and migrant work in this country!

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Total time I’ve spent on each continent during my lifetime: N. America : decades Asia : years Europe : months S. America : weeks Africa : none Oceania : none I am naive; inexperienced about most of the world and most of the world’s cultures and people. I try to listen and learn.

This is important! A state governor is publicly saying that the ongoing violent acts of multiple federal police forces against citizens of the state, press, law observers, and first responders, is unacceptable and not normal.

good win, Aces

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

My campus IT rep informed us in a meeting today that Chat GPT yearly subscription for our small college (~2000 students) would cost $360,000/year. What? Who the fuck would pay that? And why? Seriously. What small college or normal small business could even think about paying that much for AI crap?

This Lynx v. Mercury game is awesome. Intense playoff basketball

If I see Matt Shaw, I’m going to be like, “Boy, I hope he’s qualified.” I wonder if Matt Shaw has the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously? Matt Shaw’s empathy is a made-up new age term that does a lot of damage. Matt Shaw is a throbbing middle finger to God.

Charlie Kirk’s wife was a pageant competitor in the 2012 Miss USA (sponsored by Trump) and Kirk’s father was an architect who worked on Trump Tower.

Sunday baseball challenge for all my baseball-loving friends: make posts about baseball without using any numbers.

Innocent people in speedboats are being blown up & killed by US Military in international waters. Russia is flying jets over Estonia/ NATO airspace. The US President is saying US Military in US cities is “like a war.” Chicago protestors are being tear-gassed, assaulted, and shot with pepper balls…

this thread 🧵 today, at the ICE detention center just outside Chicago, militarized ICE troops assault, teargas, and apparently detain peaceful protestors, including a candidate for US House of Representatives

Well, the WNBA playoffs are not going well. Ugh.

There is absolutely no reason anyone with conscience should subscribe to or watch ABC, Disney, Hulu, CBS, or use Amazon, X, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp. Stop promoting and supporting billionaire, MAGA, white supremacist, bigoted, AI-pushing, techno-autocratic oligarchs.

I do not like MLB instant replay. I do not like seeing a manager in the dugout pretending to put headphones on or waving their hand ‘no.’ I do not like seeing 10 super-slow closeup replays of a players’ foot or hand. This is boring. There are SO MANY more interesting things we could be watching.

JD Vance is a Catholic White Nationalist. He’s a shape shifter, with at least 3 previous identities. He uses fascist, racist, nationalist language; and he lies, constantly, to gain political advantage. He worked for, was mentored, and is financially supported by plutocratic-libertarian Peter Thiel

This is no time minimize or look away from what's happening in Chicago.

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

Here are the mayors of the cities Trump has either threatened, or already sent federalized troops. It’s very clear what motivates this racist, white supremacist man.

Charlie Kirk was a hateful Christian-white supremacist who dedicated his life & profited from spreading hate, radicalizing young people to hate & oppress women, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ, and educators. He was an election denier, conspiracist, and he supported the violence guns create

I fucking hate guns. Especially guns designed for only one purpose: to kill humans. I wish they didn’t exist. I wish people couldn’t use them for that purpose.

Cubs only have 6 regular starters with OBP over .300. One of them is on the IL, so now only 5 players with OBP over .300 That is not good baseball

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains. There are dozens more! But this is a start:

I love Bike the Drive. We can walk through the park, peacefully listening to the wind, people chatting as they ride by; we can hear waves on the lake, cicadas singing, geese honking… This should be once each month, or every Sunday morning, all year!

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
