it would be silly to deny the spending isn’t an issue, but it’s hilarious that it took at least 3 of the luckiest breaks I can remember in modern baseball in a single game for the ‘25 Dodgers to win a championship.

*Nick Cave singing* Anthropic’s Claude ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom

This was literally a joke in the Silicon Valley finale.

Valerie Foushee joins Hakeem Jeffries’ commission on “regulating AI“ the same week she posts a copypasta denying consent for META to use her data. We’re in great hands.

House of Dynamite has some really big ideas, like “what if people had loved ones” and “bombs are bad”.

hilarious that after 50 years of material and a hundred adaptations they still keep fucking up King on the screen.

feels like the Brewers are running the 2020 Rays playbook against the dodgers. As someone who was once a child…..breaking up your chicken nuggets into smaller pieces does not make more meat.

Tony La Russa and Rod Carew with elite Boomer camera angles for recent interviews.

It’s incredibly easy to do, actually

it’s funny that after a decade of vilifying the idea of Virtue Signaling, it seems to be all they want now.

Dodgers getting shutout in a Pirates bullpen game. Just get me to October.

The thing about being a leftist is that a fake leftist will say that it’s not leftist to like sports while every real leftist will talk about the season Melvin Mora hit .340 for the Orioles

I sold Jake Gyllenhaal an axe

As someone who loves the tour but also forgets that it’s happening until about the 10th stage every year, these incredibly written dispatches are so appreciated.

NiJaree Canady can’t not throw strikes. Reese Atwood can’t not hit and pulled a Miguel Cabrera on an intentional walk ball. WCWS rules.

Absolutely incredible sentence in 2025

Matt Kemp was robbed of the 2011 NL MVP

either @fangraphs.com is trolling by making the Max Muncy simulation even harder to parse or this is just a really funny mistake. (The screenshot is for Dodgers’ Max Muncy, not the other one)

Despite the general enshittification of everything, Fanatics somehow almost stands alone in their level of spite/disinterest in their own customer base. This AI ad for Minnesota features Twins jerseys, a Guardians hat, and a Camden Yards background.

Oh brother this stinks!

I’ve never been under any illusions that most elite, wealthy athletes are at worst conservative and at best just extremely dumb, but this still feels bad. Dodgers have a history of boneheaded PR moves that they eventually correct so hoping for at least something in the right direction.

How’s the fighting going Brian

I’m sure you can find ways to make this take reductive but I think I finally figured out why Severance isn’t working for me: The central mystery being “the Corporation is evil….but how *exactly* are they evil?” just isn’t very compelling!

further research is warranted but after thinking about it for a few minutes i'd guess that the three coolest people on earth are walton goggins, sade and ichiro

Here is a blog about the importance of stretching, and not doing too much too soon, and a very goofy baseball play I saw: defector.com/there-is-som...
