“There are many responses to the Pretti killing to undertake from many quarters. But above all, it’s the immediate responsibility of Congress. It is now a clarion call of a generation. Congress must answer it, swiftly, fully, and fearlessly.” open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

This. A handful of Americans have the power to stop this NOW, and they are refusing to.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I don’t know why this is so hard for people but people you have to repeatedly call and beg to ask them to oppose murder in the streets will never really be on your side

Even with the reading glasses the "(25-34)" threw me for a second there. 🥶

This shot from NFL Films is unbelievable

I love how often @universalhub.com offers proof that there's no need to be clickbait-y--you can spell the whole story out and folks will still want to click through.

There's a lot to love about the @RedSox Fenway Fest--my own favorite part is always the panel discussions. Nice to see so many smiles!

I am 99% sure I am responsible for this being in Worbler's repertoire (thanks to a sandwich set). I love this song so much.

We will never be as good at this as Canadians… 😂🇨🇦⚾️

Important re Ian's TG thoughts in this: for a few years now my SIL makes a turkey and sides the day BEFORE, and on Thanksgiving we go from apps/snacks straight to desserts, saving the "meal" for evening sandwiches/plates to go. No timing hassles for either cooking or cleaning, minimal fuss.

I love the Thanksgiving tradition of showing all the normally unseen folks who put on the sports TV broadcasts we all watch.

"I will hold my hands up & say I was mean to some people. Jennifer Aniston did not call me ‘that tiny scuttling slag with the ears’ for nothing."

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Do not taunt Carnivorous Death Ball.

I hope someone, somewhere is writing on opera based on this story.

This is why I prefer the radio feeds throughout the postseason. As a bonus (to me, anyway) they are usually ahead of my Fubo stream so I never miss any big plays

I went to bed in the middle of the 13th (I am old and do not function well on less than five hours of sleep) so waking up to the news that it was Freeman... but it was the 18th... was pretty funny.

Please not Muncy in the 18th. I've seen that movie before.

Can't wait for the ABS system in MLB. Can't wait.

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

I'm sure it's a product of both my worsening eyesight and the times we live in, but I keep thinking I have emails about "Your upcoming autopsy." #reallyanautopay #Ithink

I guess this is when we get to introduce the nation to the tale of the Bonwit Teller building: news.artnet.com/art-world/do...

Take it from us -- an organization that closely studies all the horrific ways people can die from common household items -- have the jelly donut.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

People who still hang out on Twitter daily bullshitting and posting like business as usual give me the extreme ick.

the idea of antifa paying protesters is so funny. if i wanted to get paid to destroy the government i’d run for congress

This is ridiculous.

Mayor Michelle Wu at the protest today: “What scares them about Boston is that we are the America they say is impossible.”

Shohei is not real.

JOE DAVIS: —hit the other way….IT’S A GRAND SLAM! CROWD: [going apeshit] JOHN SMOLTZ: That’s what happens when you throw a flat fastball in the zone. A grand slam. That’s four runs for the Mariners. I hate it here. I want to go home. I’m so bored. Joe, did you bring a gun I can turn on myself? Joe?

This is the best thing I have watched on TV in years, maybe decades

neutral fan watching the Tigers/Mariners series: wow, these games! so tense! what fun! Tigers/Mariners fans watching the Tigers/Mariners series: I have eaten a great deal of my own hair.

If you're reading this, better start warming up, because you--yes, YOU--are about to pitch for the Mariners and/or Tigers

I could not manage to catch Connelly Early in Worcester, so I'm glad I made sure to see him at Fenway. Check out @soxprospects.com for the rest of the year-end awards!

MIT was MIT when Donald was a pup And MIT will be MIT when Donald's time is up And any fascist Son of a Bitch who thinks he's in our class Can pucker up his rosy lips and kiss the beaver's ass

hand to god, he then took this shirt off to reveal a "Dump 62 Here" shirt underneath

Here’s a gift link to my New York Times piece on what Dems can learn from bad bunny www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/o...

This captures much of the frustration of today.

I've been wondering all year if they'd fix this Fenway sign. Hey @redsox.com -- will proofread for free churros!
