Giants Spring Training got very un-fun very fast.

All of these are policies they're already supposed to be following. So why would anyone believe they'll start following them in exchange for DHS funding. I mean, come on. The proper response to "We won't deport U.S. citizens if you fund DHS" is, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

“No deporting US citizens” is a CONCESSION???

"Guy who more or less single-handedly enabled the destruction of the country says criticizing him is illegal" borders on a dril tweet, I'm sure of it.

It’s other people’s introspection that built the world that allows psychopaths like this to thrive and I think it’s gonna take some introspection to figure out how to fix it

Joe Kent strikes me as a bit of a canary in the coal mine that the hard right elements of Trump's coalition are really splintering right now. Which is good. Though you absolutely do not gotta hand it to Joe Kent.

My entire timeline is pissed off at a horrible strike call on March 15 Bluesky is da sports app baybee

Diane Warren’s only option is to escalate. Gotta write a song for a documentary about the making of the documentary about her

FOX really understands that what baseball fans long for is to stare at Ken Rosenthal’s bald spot for three minutes while Team USA is batting.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

A Democrat has won the mayor's seat in Boca Raton... by one vote:

Finally a newspaper that understands me

It's truly remarkable that all of this was foreseeable, preventable, and known by the U.S. and thy still managed to trip over their dick to start a shooting war with no tangible plan or goal. The Lord of the Flies administration at its finest.

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it

Italy's going to sweep the pool, just like we all expected.

So if I understand right, if Italy scores 4 runs the only way the US can be eliminated is if it goes to some absolutely bananas extra inning marathon, which honestly would be the funniest possible outcome and I might root for in spite of everything else.

Telling someone what you're doing with AI in your personal time is the most tedious fucking one-way conversation you can have these days. Even if you're talking to people who are open to agentic/GenAI, nobody cares what you made in Midjourney and nobody cares that you talk to your magic 8 ball.

Looking at Marco Rubio

Not the manager Team USA needs, but perhaps the manager it deserves.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

“.. The advice signals a recalibration by the White House — and reflects growing concern among some Republicans that Democrats are successfully framing Trump's immigration policy as overly sweeping and indiscriminate.” @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/03/10/w...

New Quinnipiac numbers are out. Trump is: Negative 19 points on the economy Negative 19 points on Iran Negative 17 points on foreign policy Negative 13 points on performance as commander in chief The 58% disapproval for his handling of the economy is his highest ever poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

We need to stop letting people be CEOs until we can figure out what the hell is going on in their heads.

I tried to explain to my cousins who are addicted to parlays why the math ensures that they cannot win over time even if they are the best parlay players in the entire world. They acknowledged I was correct and then put $100 on a random array of football games anyway. This is also how drugs work.

Truly a perfect news alert

You've surely made millions of dollars off of insider trading and various other financial misdeeds; buy a second pair in your size and wear those. These dullards can't even figure out how to do a decent job of being a lickspittle. Enjoy the blisters, Marco.

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Gavin Newsom is as popular as ICE right now www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

I don't see how Matos fits on the roster at this point but there's not much more you could be asking him to do to win a job this spring short of being an average defensively in center.

The Eldridge bit where he hits the absolute snot out of the ball and it doesn't leave the park somehow is very funny, actually. (This was graded at 448 feet so it would've gone out everywhere short of the Polo Grounds, but still.)

This has to have been reported before, right? (Not a dig at John, it'd just be wild if nobody has asked him about "Tell 'em Wash" in the decade-plus since that movie came out)

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

This is what Markwayne Mullin said about Rand Paul a couple weeks ago. Anyway, guess who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee

Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh

Mullin has to be confirmed, right? That should be a fun hearing.

A roster like this for the Giants would have been unimaginable, like, two years ago.

🗣️THE WINTER PARALYMPICS ARE UNDERWAY We're starting off with doubles curling, Team USA in the very first event of the games

The tribunal for this dude is gonna be magnificent

the "gradually and then all at once" structure of public opinion moves is a wild thing, and one way you know it's happened is when politicians of the moderate / poll-driven / cynical type jump in with takes that just recently were seen as provocatively ideological www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
