NEW! “Eddy’s appearance on Fox and Friends this morning was perhaps a sign that she is setting herself for a post-soccer career that mirrors another underperforming athlete—Riley Gaines.”

News outlets that haven't yet been co-opted by Trump will run headlines saying: "Trump's treasury chief says parts of economy 'are in recession'"

Everything was good, even golden, in ever-optimistic George Kittle’s world late Sunday afternoon. Whether that will be the case for his resilient, injury ravaged 6-3 team, well, that remains to be seen. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

Nice series, but... "The Dodgers winning again will compel MLB to confront its ownership problems & strive for competitive balance..." Just throw that idea in the dumpster. Behind Manfred, 30 co-conspirators like MLB & its profitability just fine as-is & no, this Congress won't come to the rescue.

Really wanted to see Springer get a shot.

Trump didn't send armed agents to the Chicago area to quell violence. He sent them there to cause violence.

It's hard to shock me these days. But I just read the words "LSU interim athletic director Verge Ausberry" and my jaw fucking dropped. I don't know what else to say but CTRL+F for his name in this article: www.usatoday.com/in-depth/spo...

I got into the elegantly outsider-y solution from Buster Posey, baseball lifer, in tabbing Tony Vitello as the new Giants skipper: www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

Fun fact: they had to pass a law last year to compel Newsom to sign an annual Transgender Day of Remembrance proclamation for the state.

A thread worth reading all the way through.

Meghan Markle’s great-great uncle played for one of the greatest baseball teams in history: the 1931 Homestead Grays. And before that, Bill “Happy” Evans played against the banned Black Sox, too. jacobpomrenke.com/black-sox/me...

Reviewing whether James Harden is a flopping flopper who flops seems like a potentially harsh judgment. Like, yes, but so?

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

Brock Purdy isn't a "longshot" to play this week. That was about the best injury news Kyle Shanahan could offer Monday. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers... #49ers

Hate resonates … From 2023: “The Times has treated coverage of gender diversity with an eerily familiar mix of pseudoscience and euphemistic, charged language," www.npr.org/2023/02/15/1...

'Next man up' only goes so far, as the 49ers found out on Sunday. From @eric-branch.bsky.social

Awful. Here’s a video of it being shared on Reddit www.reddit.com/r/chicago/s/...

I hope they explained to the Toronto fans that cancer charities are what the United States has in lieu of a functional healthcare system

People all over the country need to understand that federal agents are not in Chicago to prevent violence – they're in Chicago to cause violence.

My family and I are thrilled to introduce the Rich Passan Sports Writing Scholarship, which will offer $5,000 annually to a college junior or senior. My father was a journalist for 41 years. He passed along that gift to me. Now it's our turn to share it. x.com/jeffpassan/s...

It's true: I have watched too many/not enough Kubrick movies for one lifetime.

Do you want to work in Sports at the San Francisco Chronicle? Our summer internship application has opened up & we'd love to see yours. The previous 4 sports interns all landed jobs in the industry; we gear this internship to help make sure you will too! eevd.fa.us6.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Every day it amazes me that reporters who have been lied to for a decade hear something new from the liar and pretend to their audience that he might be telling the truth this time.

Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.

There is not a single person in this ballpark who wants to hear from the chairman of Rogers Corp. Give that trophy to Vladdy or Springer or literally anyone else first.

The Earl Weaver Special works like a charm. My condolences to Mariners fans.

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States. For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story. They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see. This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

#49ers C Jake Brendel (hamstring) is out.

in baseball we call this a wheeeeeeeee!

Jaxson Dart screaming his head off after a final drive in which he was responsible for 15 yards and the refs responsible for 53.

I know everybody's hating on the Chargers' unis today, but the Cowboys' are blandly bad in a way that deserves greater apologies.

Sulzberger’s nyt has played a major role in legitimising extremist views posing as research. He once pubbed 4,500w on a report re detransitioning that had been *retracted* by its publisher for its fundamental flaws. It had not been peer reviewed, which should always be a red flag to real journalists

Oh! It was a whole thing www.wsj.com/articles/SB1...

Spoke with an ankle surgeon who is a consultant to the Rams. He explained how Fred Warner could be game-ready around mid-January. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers... #49ers

Forty years ago MLB teams opened their books to an independent economist and were proven to be lying liars who lied. Until they open their books that way again, let that be your default assumption about any claims they — and their media water carriers — make about their finances.

Cool, cool. Love that this sport sold its soul to legalized gambling

Would be great if journalists on a tech beat actually talked to working scientists in relevant fields rather than AI researchers talking about the fields of other working scientists.

404 ft is 2nd-longest projected distance on a batted ball resulting in a double play under Statcast, reg+post

I will never stop looking at this. A 404 foot GIDP. (This is correct, it is not a data error.)

Holden Caulfield was a drip.

The documentary I made with Miss Major 10 years ago is on Vimeo on Demand. If you want to spend some time with her on screen tonight and learn some abolitionist trans history while you're at it, it's free to rent with the code "shinebright" vimeo.com/ondemand/major

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

NEW: Barrett turns to Fox News, rather than the docket, to explain her silence in key rulings. Justice Barrett wrote nothing in the racial profiling shadow docket ruling, but had something to say on Fox News Sunday. Tonight, at Law Dork:
