A really good review of a really disappointing movie that I really wanted to like. @carynrose.bsky.social is correct: “It is a decent biopic . . . But you walk out underwhelmed, which is not an adjective that generally applies to anything Bruce Springsteen does.” www.salon.com/2025/10/28/d...

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

1 in 10 Americans become food insecure next week.

I hate the way so many of you interact with sports.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

The Dodgers are in the World Series, McCarthyism is back, and there isn't nearly enough housing to go around—all of which makes this a good time to read Stealing Home. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/eric-...

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer. @nicolefoy.bsky.social

"what the fuck just happened"

15000 days ago (September 18, 1984), Tim Raines steals four bases in a 7-4 Expos win over St. Louis, in the process becoming the first player in history with four consecutive 70+ steal seasons. Rock was quite a player.

Oh man, what I’d give to hear Uecker call that play and explain it.

Wow.

Solid umpirage.
