Yankees will put out a "Fried Rice" battery tonight www.mlb.com/gameday/whit... @jaysonst.bsky.social

Also, he did not debate with the intention of understanding other peoples ideas. He debated people because he thought he could win and it made content. That's all. None of his motives were honest or sincere.

I hesitate to even post this on the kind of platform fueling the crisis we're in. It's almost certainly futile, as the algorithms don't want anyone to hear this kind of sentiment - which is a big part of the problem. www.levernews.com/we-must-stop...

So predictable that several HBCUs are on lockdown because they have received direct threats, and Hampton has canceled classes altogether. Black people are always a scapegoat and a target for white anger.

Hey there! I'm getting (back) into standup. I'm taking another course, which will culminate in a performance at the Comedy Cellar/Village Underground (130 West 3rd St. in NYC) at 3:30 PM on Sunday 11/9. I believe there will be a $5 cover charge and 2 food or drink minimum. Hope to see you there.

*wipes tears away* I love this man so much

"3000 hits or 262 hits in one season are achievements recognized by the writers, well, all but one of you" Ichiro Suzuki

I call this ...... Tetrisfail!

OK ...... I looked it up ..... its happened twice before this season ..... 5/21/2016 and 5/26/2017 ..... both times Tanaka vs. Manaea

Mets/Reds matchup tonight features two starting pitchers, each with 6-letter surnames, with the 2nd-4th-6th letters each being the same vowel ..... Manaea vs. Lodolo ..... no I don't know the last time that happened :-) @jaysonst.bsky.social

A favor to the fossil fuel companies that fill their campaign coffers.

Florida Republicans are now selling concentration camp merch. Absolutely vile and indefensibly repugnant.

Has one single Republican ever been asked on TV if they're a fascist

For several years, Doug Kern was the SABR member that I most wanted to meet in person, but he passed away in 2022. While still with us, Doug had a devoted following for many reasons, one of which was his Every Score Ever matrix. I couldn't make it to #sabr53, so today I revived and updated that.

After 13 "unlucky" attempts, @marksimon.bsky.social wins his first SABR Trivia Contest during the Closing Ceremonies at #SABR53 in Texas. Congrats, Mark! sabr.org/latest/sabr-...

When you factor in the quality of opponent this one of the worst series I’ve ever seen the Mets have

OH at #SABR53: Charlie Hough: “Why did that one guy keep coming up to the front and genuflecting?” @danevans108.bsky.social: “Oh, that’s Jacob. He’s on our staff, taking photos and documenting everything that happens here.”

NEW: John Roberts is oblivious. Again. My latest. www.muellershewrote.com/p/john-rober...

A NYC candidate for mayor has called for reconsidering rent control in that city, while congressional Republicans are advancing a bill that would take a trillion dollars in health care away from working people all across America, but guess which one the pundits are all over right now?

Overheard at the airport, from a girl aged ~5 to her father: "But Dad, I LOVE BASEBALL!" Preach! Music to my ears. Thank you Minneapolis, for sending me on my way home from APSE with a smile on my face.

Absolutely heartbreaking news, just weeks before his Hall of Fame enshrinement.

Sucks so much to lose Dave Parker at all, let alone a mere month away from Cooperstown induction. What a king.

Hail and farewell, Dave Parker.

Do a little boppin in honor of Dave Parker today

How about the Hall honor Sarah Langs this summer for her immense contributions to the game and the courage she displays every day.

If I'm running a news room now, I assign everyone who has done piece on Biden's final-years fitness-to-govern, and have them apply same standards here. (Once heard Bill Clinton give 45-minute ad-hoc on what diff *counties* in Arkansas had done in Civil War. Trump doesn't know WHAT YEAR it was.)

Raskin: "If you can opt out of mandatory classroom readings bc it offends your religious objections, you can do it bc it offends your philosophical beliefs... you're gonna have a lot of cases where ppl say 'Our family doesn't believe in evolution. We don't want our kid in class when it's taught'"

what about the right of middle school Meg to not feel afraid because of the twerps in her class and their small-minded parents?

Incredible talk by @firstmanagram.bsky.social on the quirk of Khris Davis hitting .247 four straight seasons. Two years ago David covered Dan Uggla’s unlikely hitting streak. This was fun, whimsical, and entertaining. So good.

looking forward to some parents suing to demand segregated schools because integration violates their religious beliefs

They should 100% play a game at the Trop with the roof like this, and also all the fans should be given acid before the game

The new album by The Cure is really outstanding ...

TN Ed Report: “Rather than fund school lunches, (Republicans) seek to find new schemes that use taxpayer 💰 to fund unaccountable private schools.”https://theeducationreport.substack.com/p/tn-lawmaker-pushes-free-school-lunch?publication_id=276934&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=n7io&utm_medium=email

🚨NEWS: Trump's new AG nominee Pam Bondi is the sister of the lawyer who represented Musk & Tesla when they were charged with securities fraud. If confirmed, Bondi would be empowered to shut down DOJ's probe of Musk & Tesla. https://buff.ly/3V2Y2RK

So, @propublica.org reports that Georgia's maternal mortality review committee determined that two women died after being denied access to care under the state's abortion ban, and Georgia's response is to dismiss all members of the committee. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Pete Hegseth has published three books in four years. Jonathan Chait spent the last week reading them—and concluded that Hegseth is almost certainly the most dangerous of Trump's cabinet picks. theatln.tc/s24Z8tF4

Memo to #DOGE: “.. Federal employment was around 4.3% of total employment in 1960 and is now down to 1.9%.” @calculatedrisk.bsky.social

Still can’t get over how many people on the right voluntarily went to bat for Matt Gaetz despite allegations of sex trafficking of a minor. Not only was it for nothing since the AG nomination failed… but now you’re forever on record advocating for an alleged statutory rapist.

actual member of congress telling you that what got 37 representatives to change their vote on was phone calls. so. if you were waiting for a sign to take 5 minutes & call & tell your rep to vote against HR 10186 banning trans people from using the right bathroom, i would say this is it. 🧵

Our political media coverage long ago devolved into a sports show where a bunch of people talk about how their teams can win the game. Covering political betting markets is just the next logical step

This is frightening.

It was cool when the main public consequence for Musk doing this was "your tweets wouldn't send properly." Now it will be "no one answers the phone at the VA"
