Baseball is the best because a guy who looks like this and wears this kinda tee can be the best player in the American League.

CHOTINER: but I thought you were already reading a book. ME: that one is fiction. you can read novels and personal essays at the same time, it's different parts of the brain. CHOTINER: and the book of poetry? ME: right, different part. CHOTINER: and you're progressing on all of them? ME: listen

too many of these remind me of middle school and my back hurts

yes, i will listen to the guy whose hand is rotting off and whose brain is paste what medical actions to take

I told you guys

Well the good news is, now that he’s indicted one of his political enemies on bullshit charges, he’ll probably stop, and it definitely won’t escalate from here.

That hit along with the chatter was cool. #salvy

Rave attacked that wall

damn, crushed that ball - how did that not carry more?

Bobbyyyyy

Noelvi Marte with about as clutch a game-saving (season-saving?) catch as you'll see in this postseason race If the Reds make the playoffs, they'll revisit this often in Cincinnati.

These are evil, evil people. There: I said it without calling him a Nazi. He's in his own fucking category, OKAY? At this point "ICE" is so toxic you don't NEED to say "Nazi." It's like Pop/Soda/Coke or Sub/Hoagie/Torpedo.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

🤣🤣🤣

Still can’t quite believe this is a real movie, but the fact that Spaceballs 2 decided to unveil its cast by spoofing the Force Awakens table read photo (*and* by putting a pizza on a chair in tribute to the late great Pizza the Hutt) is an encouraging sign. screencrush.com/spaceballs-2...

I judged all the midseason trades. The Royals didn't make any big moves and aren't gonna make the playoffs but what moves they did make have worked out extremely well

That's a big boy at bat for Carter Jensen

Royals are fartin' it up tonight

Cags is having, um, an inning

Saw someone post about how it's really fucked up that we all have to speculate about whether or not the FBI manufactured evidence to back their version of events. The thing is, you should always suspect that about law enforcement—these guys are just more clown-ish and obvious about it.

There is *some* speech that should be outlawed.

My take on the return of Kimmel.

Dear Mr. Vice President, please be informed that I am the wallet inspector. Please send to the following address for prompt inspection and resolution, after which your wallet will be returned.

what the fuck is happening - the dude was like just barely ahead of like Jim Cornette and the Office Ladies five months ago

[new Isaac Chotiner interview]

half-remembering that thing about how most Roman citizens experienced the fall of Rome as simply one day their local bridge went out and nobody came around to repair it

I think since the Royals can't make it, I'll root for Seattle to pull off something fun this postseason.

whoahhhhhhhh Maikel

A fielded out? Like a heathen?

Salvy!

we're now going to be required to search "charlie kirk" until that line stays up

What if everyone did get raptured but it all just looks the same and we're still surrounded by the same goofballs and assholes anyway

Four reporters to come up with this absolutely unhinged framing. People with autism are not a "problem to be solved." They are human beings who should be supported. Polio debilitating and killing thousands of kids annually was a "problem to be solved," and Jonas Salk did that... with a vaccine.

Isaac Chotiner has invited me to sample some delicious Amontillado wine and I don’t know guys but I think I’m going to come out of this interview seeming like *quite* the wine expert

Proud to announce our unnamed tech partners tracked the cell phone locations of hundreds of thousands of people without their knowledge or consent

"Oh, the rapture happened - but only one person qualified. And it wasn't you Sallie Jane."

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

More from the Suffolk University poll: www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suff... Do you support or oppose "defund the police"? Support - 21% Oppose - 74% Would you support or oppose cutting some of the police budget and using the money for social services? Support - 54% Oppose - 41%

Midwesterners during the Rapture are gonna hear about everyone else going, slap their thighs with a "welp, better be goin'" and float away 45 minutes later.

I recall random weird memes about Tylenol from some time in the 00s (maybe?) but can't remember them. Like I think it was misspelled intentionally? I dunno, I looked online for 8 seconds and didn't see anything so maybe I imagined it.

I hate how autism gets seen as something that needs to be avoided or cured when I really think it just needs to be accepted and understood it makes me sad people care more about trying to stop it then trying to accept and help the people who have it

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

uh oh, that one caught on
