Devastating loss. I loved his writing and his photography. Always made me homesick for that fading stretch of the West.

Roki Sasaki just struck out Cal Raleigh with three pitches.

Look, you can’t hold this against Roberts, he was just representing his client at the time which was [checks notes] the White House

Kushner, the Saudis, and other friends are buying EA for $50 billion:

Mom at the park just told me she wasn’t going to finish her baby’s vaccine schedule because “of the new information that has come out from the CDC”. Robert Kennedy is a fucking monster.

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that congressional appropriations are optional: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

It’s a good thing that civilian control of the military is a bedrock American value because forcing 800+ generals to listen to Hegseth for an hour might otherwise be dangerous.

This would be marginally more credible if the Court treated the current President like they treated the last one

Last two sentences practically beg his next Dem successor to reverse it on day one.

Henry VIII would’ve loved the NFL.

Underrated factor in Trump’s 2024 victory is that a lot of voters may have assumed his second term would be just like the first one, even though he made a lot of policy/personnel changes during the interregnum.

*EX-FED, TREASURY OFFICIALS BACK COOK IN SUPREME COURT JOB FIGHT *BERNANKE, GREENSPAN, SUMMERS, PAULSON SIGN AMICUS BRIEF Greenspan signing this is legitimately noteworthy.

You see this is why I'll never make it in the podcast game. I'd just say "No it's not" and the episode would be over.

The Drummond/Stittworld feud is one of the most interesting ones in state politics these days.

Roki Sasaki is pretty good at pitching.

If I’m parsing this right, he told Congress in 2020 that he never leaked anything to the media or told anyone at the FBI to do it, but also told Congress in 2017 that he’d given some stuff to a friend from law school to leak?

I could easily believe that this is real because mass shooters say/do/write weird and inconsistent things all the time. Unfortunately, the source for it is Kash Patel.

Great read on the Supreme Court’s misconceptions of executive and legislative power:

“Two ICE detainees were killed and one person was injured at a Dallas ICE facility Wednesday morning and one shooter is dead, police sources tell WFAA.” Local breaking news coverage here:

Kidnapping and holding someone hostage as bait

“No words,” says Joe Davis as Tanner Scott blows a Dodgers lead and gives up the walk-off run yet again. Tenth time, I think?

London has a mayor who does normal mayoral stuff and a Lord Mayor who only does the ceremonial things. Handing out keys, greeting the King, etc. NYC should consider a similar model.

Saw my son eating something off of the counter and asked him to show me what it was

do we think it's good that entire economy is based on the same entities passing money back and forth on speculative investment without anyone making anything that someone outside the loop is buying

If you’re looking for an exciting, fast-paced cardio workout, I highly recommend clipping a toddler’s toenails.

SCOTUS says Trump can fire a FTC commissioner without cause for now and will hear oral arguments in December on whether to overrule Humphrey’s Executor. Wow I wonder how they’ll rule? www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

For our October issue I wrote about the Roberts Court for its 20th anniversary, how it helped lead us to the current crisis, and what should be done about it:

MSNBC’s report didn’t cite the case by name, but it sure looks like Biden DOJ officials thought SCOTUS’s ruling in McDonnell would prevent them from prosecuting Homen unless he committed an “official act” after taking/related to the alleged bribe.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

Next president should abolish spot-of-the-foul DPI. A blight upon the entire sport.

Roughly 95 percent of the 49ers’ current strength is just Fred Warner. Time to start using the “Future Hall of Famer” label.

Why bother negotiating with some who is telegraphing on national television that he will cave?

With tonight’s 7-5 win, the Dodgers have finally overtaken the Giants in their all-time head-to-head standings (1,288 to 1,287) for the first time since August 10, 1896. (Yes, 1896.)

Something I learned from that 4-hour Jenny Nicholson video last year on the failed Star Wars hotel is that Disney Adults are paying way more for way less at the parks over the last few years, and there’s already a strong baseline of resentment and frustration there.

this exists it is called thinking

With tonight’s win, the Dodgers have finally tied the Giants in the all-time head-to-head standings with 1,287 wins each. The last time they were even was in 1896.

Devers is a great final strikeout for Kersh. What a finish. What a career.

I’m sure Kimmel is working to spin this so make of it what you will but it speaks highly of him his staff’s well being is even being discussed.

if I were a member of the current Trump administration I would not be excited about the concept of “illegal pardons”

wrote about this last year and sure I wasn't in any way the only one but imo people voting for populist politics in the 21st century *is* a sign that they do just have too much faith in institutions, as opposed to not enough - they want to have their little tantrum but assume things will just hold

I’ve always wondered how much of the over-the-top language in Trump’s court filings comes from him personally, and how much of it comes from his lawyers’ own volition. Because this one was extreme even by the usual standards.

Dear Commissoner Carr, The woke left has put Kershaw’s final start at Dodger Stadium on Apple TV+ tonight. Patriotic heroes like Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser should be calling it on SNLA instead. Please send help.

btw journalists are not obligated to tell the white house anything about their sources, to be clear.

Everything seems to be going great.

How it feels when Obama starts weighing in on the day-to-day news cycle

the core of MAGA government is giving resentful mediocrities to power to act as tyrants and dominate others

With everything else going on, I almost missed that the Czechs are finally opening the Masaryk letter tomorrow.

The Supreme Court has amended its November argument calendar and will now hear the Trump tariff case on Wednesday, Nov. 5! www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

Wrote up a fun little thought experiment:

Someone on my feed just mentioned The Man Show and it broke a psychic dam that my mind had built around early 2000s bro culture. Maxim and FHM magazines, Axe body spray, puka shell necklaces, all of it just came flooding back.
