in baseball, we call this a wheeeeeeee!

This is probably the most traditional possible behavior for the family of a pope.

As a postal carrier, I delivered a banana with the address written on the skin and the postage on a tag tied to the stem. It was still in good enough condition to eat.

Considering how many alliances there were with powers switching back-and-forth at different times, at any point everyone just viewed their allies as the lesser of two weevils.

Seems easy to me

I have a friend from Delco who throws a fit every time I talk about how much Delco reminds me of where I grew up (eastern Baltimore County).

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

Going to just pick one part here to take up which is the Rousseauian notion that agriculture leads to land ownership which leads to warfare. If that were true, we'd expect non-agricultural societies (hunter gatherers especially) to be relatively peaceful. Instead, they're hyper-militarized. 1/

for decades the NCAA got away with a blatantly illegal business model because judges approved of the concept of amateurism, then the tide turned and they lost amateurism cases on the merits, now no judges respect the NCAA at all and they're getting dunked on in cases where they're kinda right

Ok Pete here’s your MP-40 and Stahlhelm, don’t forget your Totenkpf badge, make sure you polish the SS runes, we’ll have you ready for your public appearance ASAP

After consulting with my attorney I’ve been advised that what I actually want to say about this would be ill-advised so I’ll just say that he couldn’t possibly be clearer about which side of D-Day he’s identifying with

Whoever owns the Mayflower franchise in northeastern Illinois is about to get one hell of a contract.

Did President Trump really fix the Reflecting Pool? And other fact-checks.

It's like he's automatically attracted to ballrooms... he just starts excavating them. It's like a magnet. Just excavate. Don't even wait. And when you're the President they let you do it. You can do anything." Grab them by the East Wing. You can do anything.

It’s so much easier not to get in the tank for a political candidate, because you never have to defend stuff like Nazi tattoos and DV allegations. You can just be like, “ugh, well fuck that guy I guess.”

I am more bullish on the Orioles than I was a couple weeks ago, but nothing has made me more excited than the fact that Coby Mayo is starting to hit.

We go to the same family campground in Myrtle Beach every year. It's a mile of beachfront RV pads and beach houses. It used to be crawling with MAGA t-shirts, flags, hats, golf cart decorations, etc. We've been here since Sunday and I haven't seen a single mention of Trump or MAGA anywhere.

Meta’s AI problems are international.

If you take nothing else from this feed before you unfollow, take this: MLB and its team owners do not, never have, and never will give a single flying fuck about what the fans think. If they’re citing “the fans,” they’re just lying.

please, I beg to have to understand baseball trades in these terms, it seems like such a good time!

Most of the Freedom 250 concert performers dropped out over partisan concerns. But what IS Freedom 250? And how is it different from America250?

So happy that the management at MLB is telling us baseball fans that this is what we are telling them we want.

Respect For Friend Drops After Reading Book They Recommended

So it remains that a US based team has won the CFL’s Grey Cup more recently than a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup.

Looks like they paid for Prime unscheduled disassembly.

chances are, she thought she was blessed to be performing on independence day only to learn she'd been taken for a ride and the booking was wrong baby wrong again, and she was not a happy girl. for these times, it's just wreckless how far the GOP is still holding on to the idea they're god's will

On the one hand, I don't want the US economy to go spiraling into a mountain. On the other hand, I'd really like to get into every Philly World Cup match for $25.

I also have a very hard time seeing the two sides ever agreeing on what "baseball revenue" is in the era of baseball teams as REITs, the center of media companies, and even part of a collection of other sports franchises.

Is the Rays hurler actually hurling on the mound?

Oh hi, we’re just two Phds who podcast about our favourite nerd topic: ancient Rome. Are our outfits historically accurate? No. Is our podcast the most in-depth you’ll ever hear on the early Roman republic? You betcha. #AncientRome #Podcast

Some fun news, was able to finally locate Jack Remsen, one of the more high profile missing players, who had a big league career that spanned from 1872 to 1884 and was a regular with Hartford in the inaugural season of the National League back in 1876. I'll break down how I found him in a thread.
