Getting shredded by Shedeur Sanders. The Raiders are a complete abomination.

Economy-class airline seat pitch (this distance between seats has shrunk by about 5 inches in the last 55 years. Seat width by 2 inches or so. Airline rows were rarely full before deregulation—and even before the post-2001 consolidation. The golden age of air travel did not begin with you.

Brandon Nimmo is the first millionaire to flee Zohran Mamdani's Communist New York City

Meet Paul Gervase: one of the few additions to the Dodgers during the trade deadline. I chose this write-up because of a funny Tweet that caught my eye when I was leaving Toronto after G7.

Hey bozo, the average pay is higher in blue states than red states. Did you think of that? Stop this plutocratic gaslighting.

Ian Miles Cheong: Everyone must go back to the country where they are born. Please don't tell people I'm living in Malaysia, where I was born, but spend my entire life complaining about America. Ian Miles Cheong: *has been secretly living in Dubai this whole time*

Every one of these posts makes me giggle at the very serious pundits who say BlueSky is in a bubble

Remember Nick Nastrini? No? Okay...

There are also bots on Bluesky folks

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

the last 24 hours on X, summed up:

I was asked what I was doing with my life. I stopped being afraid and just went for it. As to the writing, I got dumped and took it poorly. 😅

"Fuckass," terrific. Whatever reaches the youths today. Ideally, we could build someone up to a Malcolm Tucker level of swearing excellence

Zohran Mamdani should revive a DOT plan to transform Fifth Avenue shelved by de Blasio and Adams at the behest of powerful corporate interests.

“It’s not too soon to expect congressional Democrats to activate investigations, issue subpoenas and pursue impeachment if they retake the majority next year—and that they clearly state their intentions to do so in their campaigns." www.americaamerica.news/p/how-import...

Lol

The box of champions swag I bought arrived. It's comedically underwhelming but I'll give the cap to my grandpa who will get a kick out of it.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Pretty much sums it up!!

TRUMP: and this Daniel, he went into the den? MAMDANI: The lion's den, yes TRUMP: surely they ate him MAMDANI: Here's the part where it gets a little Broadway: they didn't TRUMP: Unbelievable

This could have been an email. 🥱

Lol at NYT, after everything, having to roll with a smiling triumphant Mamdani looking down on Trump as lead story

Suck it, Debra Messing

Dodgers will also non-tender RHP Nick Frasso, source tells The Athletic. Ended last season on the 60-day IL.

Evan Phillips has been non-tendered, per The Athletic.

Bill Ackman and Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon watching this WH presser

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

Teenager me would be horrified by adult me. Young-MJE: We consume marijuana?!? MJE: Listen, you little shit...

I sat through this meeting. Did I think to take this screenshot? Nope. 😂

Per @codifybaseball.bsky.social, 2025 MLB Postseason Bonuses Per Team (Projected $135M Pool, Team Shares): WS Teams: 🏆 LAD – $48,600,000 🥈 TOR – $32,400,000 LCS Losers: SEA, MIL - $16,200,000 each DS Losers: NYY, DET, CHC, PHI - $4,387,500 each WC Losers: CLE, BOS, CIN, SD - $1,012,500 each

Nobody wants this shit. Nobody. The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.

Metro votes to recertify the EIR, 4-1. (Hahn voted no.) The Gondola Project still has numerous state and federal approvals to get before construction can begin and the City of Los Angeles will ultimately have the final say.

HALT. Selfie checkpoint, post to proceed. (Adric needs his offseason bath.)

I'm watching an L.A. Metro Executive Management Committee. Voluntarily.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

1. Dick Cheney’s legacy is not complicated. He did extraordinary damage to the Middle East and the reputation of the United States. He has the blood of Americans on his hands.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

A blockbuster investigation by the AP, out today. So much in it, give it a read, but starts with: "The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious."

Six veterans posted a video reminding our troops that they swore allegiance to the Constitution-not to Donald Trump-and that they must not obey illegal orders Because of this, Donald Trump now thinks they should be executed FOR TELLING OUR TROOPS TO FOLLOW THE LAW bsky.app/profile/slot...

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

Bill Cassidy is a naive troglodyte, barely able to function with any sort of guile?!? You don't say.

Extraordinary that the Texas government would be so corrupt that it would have to black out more than 80% of its emails with Elon Musk.

/bops head from side to side

Atlanta to Iglesias:

Mean is easy. Kind is hard. But I lead that good life and I wouldn't be any other way. 😏

Wow. November of 2018 I wrote this and got absolutely roasted on Twitter. Hmmm...by the way the owner of Dodgers Nation gave me an earful about this piece and told me not to virtue signal. Sigh.

Highly recommended! In addition to the usual topics, this edition also recommended a really great article: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t... It was maddening, entertaining, and crystallized my issues with the NYT.
