Going off line for the holiday. Shanah Tovah everybody

they just had to lock him up for 5 years. you can't risk a hot commodity like "the son of your current coach who has never been a coach for anyone besides his dad" leaving for one of the many big time jobs that must have been begging to hire him 5 weeks before the season starts

I would like to know more about when John Roberts gave up on his vision of himself as philosopher king maintaining control over the proper reach of conservative governance and settled into Regime Guy mode

They summarily shitcanned 90+ year-old precedent with no written justification because they wanted to do what Trump wanted them to do ASAP. Just a complete abdication of the Supreme Court's role as they transform themselves into the enforcement arm of the Republican Party. bsky.app/profile/stev...

“Sometimes you get the bed and sometimes you get the floor. It’s called SHARING.” — my dog, explaining everything he’s learned at school

I'm just begging anybody with anything to say about this to read up on the fact that (1) JVDB has cancer and (2) this is a cancer fundraiser before they put their har-dee-har pants on and start stomping around.

Someone sent me this today. 😅

Steven pearl has never had a basketball related position - as a player or coach - that wasn’t given to him by his dad.

It's a bunch of misogyny and ableism, dangerous bullshit.

Johnston says this has nothing to do because of "any kind of comparison to the NFL" Then goes on some bullshit about "I look at the turf as a canvas and it's so much more open for our teams and players" Fuck Johnston, fuck the CFL owners, fuck all of this.

/4 Also struck by Texas giving us the best statistics — because of their record-keeping of these these — irrefutably documenting that both legal and undocumented Immigrants commit crimes at very significantly lower rates than native-born people.

Tournament baseball madness! Belgium took a 3-2 lead ahead of Croatia heading to the bottom of the ninth, but because of tiebreakers, they walked a batter and balked him in. Now Belgium needs to score six runs for a chance to advance.

There'd need to be a way to hold SEPTA lossless for the service. Charging higher fares would be one way to do it. But you have these towns where the argument is 'we don't get SEPTA anyways', so let's flip the politics by bringing them SEPTA as cheaply as possible.

Let's speak plainly, life is cheap for these people

That’s actually in the data:

I mean listen this is a good message. But it can’t be the only message you’re sending which is the problem. (Also you can add the vaccine stuff which will also cause people to die!)

Finally wrote about Trails, the series that’s winning by basically doing the opposite of what everyone else is www.theverge.com/games/781492...

The SWC and Big 8 are gone. We can't replace them. What we can do is recreate them in the aggregate.

Francisco Alvarez vs Mitchell Parker Lineout 💢 Exit velo: 110.9 mph Launch angle: 17 deg Projected distance: 411 ft This would have been a home run in 12/30 MLB ballparks, including Nationals Park WSH @ NYM 🔻 9th

The Guardians are hitting .227 with a .297 on-base percentage as a team, and are somehow 84-71, seven wins above their Pythagorean W-L.

This is why you trade Mason Miller.

the fact that in multiple cases the Supreme Court has worked to legalize bribery in the United States is a major corrosion of our civil order

McDonnell v US is one of the worst decisions in SCOTUS history, every justice that voted for it should be impeached and then jailed. Yes, I know it was 9-0. "Oh, actually totally cool to do bribes" is not a legitimate ruling in a real democracy

This line of cases is so fucking dumb and harmful to this country: that it's not Bribery if they took the money as long as they didn't then do an explicit quid pro quo as exemplified here - the idea that if we bribe you $50K and you don't follow through or haven't yet it's not illegal is insane.

A terrible case and a terrible line of cases – and like many of the worst things in our society: totally bipartisan.

Important to note this is not even remotely exculpatory of murder, which is what our government did to the boat’s occupants.

just boldly obvious this is being made up on the fly, like so many other "policies" put in place, including the bit where they shout at the public for daring to realize that it's being made up on the fly

The conclusion that Stearns needs to act like a “big market GM” when nearly all of the major deals of the last year are either immediately bad or careening towards long term catastrophe is weird. Like yes Mason Miller is good but anyone been paying attention to Leo De Vries in AA?

The goal of these ads is to drive a deeper wedge between local law enforcement and local politicians.

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back. Computer…enhance. #garden #gardening #oopsfrog

we already give Messi a hundred mill to walk around the pitch in Cincinnati what more do they want

This is why Republicans are going home instead of even bothering to schedule a vote, because Schumer's history and his signals both make it abundantly clear that he's going to cave as soon as possible. Stop doing this! Have you never negotiated anything in your life?

My doubts about the constitutionality of the California law as it exists aside, I think states have the authority to require anyone doing law enforcement activity to identify themselves to uniformed officers. But also this is hogwash. It’s entirely undemocratic to permit LEOs to act like the Stasi.

Is there a note appended to the piece acknowledging this substantial revision, you may be wondering*? No, no there isn’t * only if you are wholly unaware of how the Times operates in the post-Sullivan era

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

Coco Gauff in happy and relaxed spirits here in Beijing. She'll be without Gavin MacMillan as he had prior commitments when he was hired. They'll get back to work when she gets back.

What Russell Wilson cooks in 2025

There's no need for an 11-round shootout in the preseason. Or any round shootout in the preseason.

Last month Ketel Marte apologized to his teammates for missing a couple of games after his house was burglarized. It was said that his absence created a "festering" situation in the Dbacks clubhouse. Marte is an MVP-level veteran. Wonder how Cubs vets think about the rookie fucking off for the day.

I'm so old that I remember when dudes would give players crap for missing a game for the birth of their children. I suppose attending a political rally disguised as a funeral for a podcaster is more defensible. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

I mean, bloody hell

Worst part of baby parenting? Trying to clip your baby’s fingernails. If you miss and make a boo boo you feel like a monster and it’s super hard to get a band aid on there

As far as I can tell no one else has yet reported (tell me if I missed something!) on the DOJ dictating what meetings NIH employees can attend, which, well, seems odd to me.

Jacob Young did it again. This took away a game-tying home run from Francisco Alvarez.

What movie do you consider perfect?

There are not enough experience points in this game we call life available for anyone to root for the Mets unless you were born into it

The Mets have lost the mandate of heaven

WHAT A CIRCUS CATCH BY JACOB YOUNG FEATURING A KICK SAVE AND A BEAUTY
