Trump is expanding the Afrikaaner refugee program, which is based on the "white genocide" conspiracy that Black South Africans are trying to take land from Whites You can't understand this story if you don't know 1 of the greatest stories in all of history A thread www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Piers Morgan saying nothing and letting him page back and forth is like Vin Scully letting the crowd noise take over after Kirk Gibson's home run, only the exact opposite.

Slight rewording: ♦️Goldman Sachs heir pledges, instead of giving $1 million of his fortune to a worthy cause, to spend it on an attempt to keep a better candidate out of Congress.

With alt-text. I love Wood's landscapes from this phase of his work, along with those of his collaborator in Iowa City, Marvin Cone. This one's a beauty.

All of this is true, but also "Charlottesville was a terrible thing" is something of a policy reversal. There were very fine people on both sides, and also those terrible marchers were only there because of leftist agitators? The new position is there were no fine people on either side?

Every time I do a Japanese baseball game I think that if the MLB had player specific songs for every team in the league we could save a generation of young men from the male loneliness epidemic

This ad at the ballpark says "Bet like a Caesar every inning" and am I supposed to understand that Julius Caesar stopped off at his bookie on the way to the Senate asking "What are the odds that Brutus will try to stab me today?"

this is aside from the point but baseball’s special misery is that striking out is both common and humiliating

Third year History student Murray Katkin said that he and his friends organized the demonstration to express their discontent with Wexner’s name being all over campus. “Walking between the Wexner Medical Center and the Wexner Center for the Arts all the time [is] just morally exhausting,” he said.

You never too old to get fly.

Well they had Lindor and Soto together for 4 innings.

I loved the Wexner's film series when I lived in Columbus. And: - It would be perfectly possible to build (or rent!) a cinema elsewhere with the same programming. - The placement of the Wexner Center destroyed what ought to be the prominent entrance to the Oval and the entire OSU campus. (1/2)

I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:

Lose the M and ruin a book: A Roo of One's Own

I think all the time about Jack Kerouac heckling Frank O’Hara that he was ruining American poetry & O’Hara responding without a beat, “That’s more than you ever did for it”

Maybe @cleguardians.com want to come out with a statement that's a little more than "it wasn't us, talk to the guys we hired"?

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

Ruby Bridges being on social media rn is why I’ll never not cuss a mf out when they say “it happened so long ago”

It's one of those games in Cleveland where roughly 14 people came out to the ballpark, they've fortified themselves heavily against the cold, and you can hear every word from every one of them. Good times.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

My husband goes through the world with a positivity and openness that makes him friends whatever he goes, and it makes his experience of the world so much better (and mine by proxy). It's crazy to watch and has made me a believer n how much our approach to the world shapes it. It's not naive at all.

Today I went to a performance at a theater way out in the woods in Mexico. The directions to get there were "take the bus up the mountain, and go past the first OXXO, and then past the second OXXO, and when you get to a little store called "Maggi" get out and walk half a mile up this other road.

Look it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been described as naive or Pollyanna and it won’t be the last. But I’m so grateful for that. I’d hate to move through this world with that other mentality. I would miss so much beauty or at least fail to appreciate it.

I may call Steve Ballmer, “Steve Ballmer’s wife’s husband.”

I am not one to argue against the utility of analytics in baseball, but some geek is getting paid to say Parker Messick is the 57th best starting pitcher in baseball this year and my brother, you need to put down the computer and watch some games.

It keeps appearing more and more likely that Trumpism (or Rubioism, if you prefer) leading to a kind of Latin American Economic Union and a sort of LATO counterbalancing US aggression.

personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life

My former colleague: I can't let my wife and daughter go to Times Square, it's too dangerous.

People should bring up that surveillance pricing is almost certainly racist because the inputs will be structurally racist. Imagine food staples from your culture costing more because of your background. That's what's on offer.

Celebrate wins more than you morn losses. That is the rule.

Can we talk about how Angel Martínez hit 3 balls >100 mph last night and a fourth at 99.9? While lowering his strikeouts by half this year? The kid is swinging the bat a lot harder without messing with his plate discipline. @timstebbins.bsky.social
