Rangers unveiled ‘Tejas’ City Connect uniforms to celebrate Mexican culture, but the team’s roster, policies and history tell a different story.

Lina Khan is one of his advisors you know, the ex-FTC head whose efforts to do things like ban noncompetes (and her gender) "forced" all our rich tech execs to support abject fascist corruption

I'd really like to see Sullivan experiment with playing Cuylle on the right next to Kartye and Miller. If it works, hey that's another problem solved for next year. If it doesn't work, well, you knew that you've needed a top-6 RW since, well, 2019.

Maybe don't try to wrongly explain the message of Jesus to the actual, literal Vicar of Christ.

the chicago pope is over on twitter being christlike and everyone's biblesplaining him in the replies lol

War never changes, it just adapts to the times www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles....

Nathan Aspinall is a prospect trap right? 6'7, 207lb winger lighting it up in the OHL...at 20 years old after a 5 game cup of coffee with the Wolf Pack. That feels like a player you offer up as a sweetener in a trade to get a better return instead of investing in.

issuing correction on a previous post. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to the IRGC"

Whenever this mode of housing discourse pops up I think about how a lot of people hated the brownstones in Brooklyn when they were being built and now they’re the most fashionable and stately buildings in the borough.

All carbonated beverages are bad

NEW: Cardinal Pietro Parolin says that Pope Leo XIV cannot carry the weight of this war alone. “There is a need for more voices of peace, more voices against the madness,” Parolin said, warning Leo risks becoming “a voice crying in the wilderness if it is not supported and helped concretely.”

this guy seems to go one notch further than Leo did in his Holy Week homilies, pretty much flat-out saying “it is a moral imperative for American Catholics to contact their legislators and demand an end to the war” feels like they want us to know they were not intimidated by the Avignon thing 😂

A reporter asked Trump about Iran charging fees literally yesterday -- and his response was that we were going to get a cut of the action!

Yesterday Trump proposed a US-Iran "joint venture" toll:

"Under no circumstances did we allow someone named Elbridge Colby threaten military action on the Holy See. That definitely did not happen, please stop talking about it."

So much negativity over him having his appendix out. But removing something that doesn't do anything any more has worked out for the Sixers before, they made out like bandits in the Ben Simmons trade

Despite this medical setback, Joel is in great spirits.

Turning the Streisand effect up to Death Star

Uh...what...?

You don't need to get into a debate about "Israel's right to exist" to recognize that the government of Israel is perpetrating an immoral, illegal, crime against humanity. Anyone trying to spark the former debate in the face of such critiques is an apologist for unconscionable acts of evil.

Feel like the dog owner hatred is pretty specific to New York City. But some of these New York dogs are real bad, literally one of them in Yonkers convinced a guy to kill a bunch of people back in the 70s. No wonder folks on here are wary.

This might be far too stupid and general question but are the Israeli people as loudly and publicly yelling "fuck this guy" towards Netanyahu as many of us are about Donny? He's gotta be as publicly unpopular, right?

Netanyahu, after insisting that Lebanon isn't included in the Iran-US ceasefire, announces that Israel will enter into direct negotiations with the Lebanese government at the latter's repeated requests. I read this as the US ordering Israel to cut the BS, because Lebanon is risking the deal.

All Adam Fox ever needed was a good partner. My word, what a season he has had.

This is amazing. Dude is toxic everywhere he goes.

vance is so personally off putting that even foreign electorates want nothing to do with him

These are Gestrals from Expedition 33

Why does this feel like the design team was ChatGPT? Everything about the fonts and build of the jersey seems like it was put together by a computer.

Nike Exec: "Hey Rangers, we need to really sell the new "Tejas" uniforms, which per our press release are "steeped in Texas and Mexican heritage." Make sure the player you select to model them fits the model of a joyous celebration of multicultural baseball!" Rangers:

It's knives out season in Midtown

If you go to any No Kings rally you see a lot of college kids and Palestinian flags, I think they just joined up with the bigger group.

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

Happy “The Only Confederate Memorial Day That Matters.”

to all who celebrate...

"i could probably pilot a ship through the straight of hormuz" -next big thing 80% of men secretly believe about themselves

the strait of hormuz is in a quantum superposition of open and closed that only collapses when you try to take a tanker through yourself and see if you get shot at

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Just in case they wanted to try Stupid Avignon, it would most likely violate Article 5, though Vatican City is technically not part of NATO.

Boasting that you have the military might to pull off a Stupid Avignon is one helluva claim to make as you're gearing up to get shitcanned in Iran.

- 'America has the military power to do whatever it wants anywhere in the world' - immediately loses war to Iran.

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America. Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

Yeah, it’s almost like you guys didn’t work out any of the terms and just assumed if you said there was a ceasefire everything would stop, because you’re idiots desperate to TACO out of a catastrophe you created

HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

there’s a reason we have diplomats and ambassadors and foreign services and do not simply conduct international negotiations by off the cuff social media posts the new system we have is not “disruptive” it is not “bold” it is not “unorthodox” it is “tremendously fucking stupid”

it’s a pretty simple and easy to read treaty and it only covers a certain area of the map and only applies to being attacked, not doing the attacking yourself www.nato.int/en/about-us/...

the only country in all this that could’ve made an argument to invoke the treaty was turkey
