One of my readers observed that baseball is the only sport where the enjoyment of the game decreases as the athleticism of the players increases. I don't know if I totally agree, but it's striking that so much of what we don't care for in the game these days is a function of guys being too good.

BIG NEWS! We are excited to welcome the HEIGHTS THEATER to the Music Box family! In January 2026, we will be taking over ownership of the iconic Columbia Heights cinema. We're excited to add to the legacy of the Heights, and bringing a touch of the Music Box to Minnesota🎞️

I think some of you owe Grover an apology

Love Jason Benetti

North Central has three D3 National Titles since 2019 and only lost three games in that span and they are currently playing in the second round in a got dang blizzard.

This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

Jesus fucking Christ

Also Michael Fassbender is doing a Magneto hunts Nazis movie, I know I’ve mentioned this many times before but that’s because it’s a brilliant idea

The queerest Speed Racer sequel The Wachowskis could produce.

Annual reminder about turkey frying safety:

Every fucking week

Aaron Rodgers watching Caleb Williams hit a free play up the seam for a TD has to hurt.

the economic success of the U.S. is significantly built on the land grant universities and in particular their excellent agricultural science tradition.

Sounds like you're 12, little buddy.

you have selected: no

DAVE FUCKIN TOUB

a new study finds that there is enough microplastic in your nads to make a little army guy. whats worse is that its the guy with the radio so he doesnt even have a gun. and he has a bunch of extra plastic along the seam on the bottom so he keeps falling over.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

McCarthy getting his receivers (Bears secondary) killed out there.

Now: Thousands of people in Charlotte have gathered to let Border Patrol & ICE know they’re not welcome here. We will not bow down in the face of Trump’s terror tactics. When our communities are under attack we stand up and fight back! 📆 Sun Nov 16 🕜 3:00-5:00 PM 📍Hygge (1026 Jay St, Charlotte) 🙏🏻

Also in here: DHS responded to the faith-led protest yesterday, calling participants “violent rioters” and “imbecilic morons” who need to “get a job.” Asked about the statement, one UMC pastor who participated in the protest told me: "This is our job." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

As someone who worked for one of those Cadillac companies... Please don't use powder tools for attaching wood-to-wood. Also, at that time, you probably wouldn't have found a Hilti tool in a hardware store. They self-distribute.

This is not the primary issue here but... The story Fake Grandma tells sucks shit and is only further proof that this shit doesn't replace anything resembling humanity. Or maybe the point here is that that lady's mom was incredibly bad at stories.

Brett Favre may or may not be in the Epstein files, but either way he belongs in prison.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

This dude is the embodiment of the Simpsons “nuts and gum” bit. bsky.app/profile/hear...

Hell yeah this gets me on my favorite Soapbox! *climbs up* There's nothing inherently superior about the metric system and converting just road signs in the US would be tens of billions, if not more! Then there's everything else! Fuck the metric system!

For all the people making jokes in this thread... Fuck off. Their mission has been accomplished: they ruined peoples' lives and terrorized a major US city. And Bovino was in LA before Chicago. That town is STILL terrorized. CBP's leader cutting out doesn't end this.

Sadistic, marauding fascist monsters having a tourist moment. “The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, ‘Everyone say, “Little Village!”’”

Every single Democratic senator that votes to cave on this should be immediately ejected from the party, and the national party should immediately start running primary candidates in their districts. There is no bipartisanship possible with traitors and fascists. You either fight, or die.

Relating to Spider-Man at 19: I too am underemployed, unsure how to pursue girls, and trying to find my place in the adult world. Relating to Galactus at 42: I am from an unrecognizable previous millennium, hungry all the time, everything hurts and I live with a tiny person who won’t do what I ask.

ICE is retaliating against Oak Park right now, where most of the moms who were arrested for protesting at Broadview yesterday are from. This is my sister, who's on the ground. ABOLISH ICE. www.instagram.com/reel/DQzuhMO...

9:31 am... *verified the presence of federal agents at multiple locations in Oak Park, IL: 700 block of Gunderson; 700 block Elmwood; 300 S Euclid. Agents were seen driving: black Chevy Silverado, Ford Expedition, and other cars. Three people have been abducted. Agents are still in the area...

Same.

I love that the ruling is “Chicago fucking rules, fuck the liars and the haters”

This is the teacher federal agents grabbed yesterday at Rayito De Sol daycare in front of children. Attorneys for Diana Santillana have filed a petition in federal court to have her freed from ICE custody.

Ignatz Mice toss traditional sub

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

*sighing as i get on my soapbox again* The reason there's an unbreakable D hold on the Chicago aldersystem is because of years of direct civic interaction. If you help people locally and you involve people locally, those people will vote for you.

Only losers hate on trans kids 🏳️‍⚧️

The great obituarist for figures of grotesque American political evil. May he have many more opportunities to showcase this gift.
