THREE HOMER GAME FOR EDMUNDO SOSA!

#Phillies set a franchise record tonight with 8 home runs in a game. Schwarber now has 56 HRs for the year, 2 more to tie the franchise record set by Ron Howard. Sosa has 3 HRs tonight. Go Phillies!

Edmundo Sosa had not played in 12 days. He has two homers tonight. It's his first two-homer game.

Amid the [gestures at everything], I've been meaning to re-up this piece from April. “‘Nonspeaking’ does not mean ‘non-listening,’” a formerly nonspeaking woman told me. “I was aware of the terrible things people were saying about me, when they discussed me like I wasn’t even there.”

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

my father is 72 years old and didn’t get diagnosed with ADHD until he was 67, which only happened because I got diagnosed at 27 and he went “wait …” when I described all the symptoms that led me to the psychiatrist in the first place

Cannot wait to see what the Phillies hangover lineup looks like for a 10 pm start. Garrett Stubbs is gonna be playing second base.

Everyone writing about Perseverance today should be asking how many of the scientists and engineers who were involved in this discovery no longer work for NASA bc of Trump.

was telling my coworker about the rilo kiley concert tonight and when I said “they’re a band from when I was a teenager,” she said, “oh, so like an old person band,” and —

There are reasons Castellanos has to play that are bigger than baseball

me falling asleep on the couch three times before 7.30 tonight does not bode well for tomorrow, when I’m supposed to be attending a rilo kiley concert that starts at 8 😓😴

My power fantasies involve being in positions where I can ensure generative AI is never implemented in whatever we’re doing

I like alien: earth but to me it is definitely more of a dark comedy than a horror/drama.

I love baseball

did alec bohm like shoot someone’s dog or something to make like every pitcher in the league (and even some basemen) try to bean the shit out of him??? you’d think breaking his rib was enough but it’s been like every game since he got back

I think this is the thing the public most widely misunderstands about then vs. now. There have always been sincere skeptics, and there have always been misinformation peddlers. These guys are neither. They really don't care about science; it just happens to be where they're waging their culture war.

Incredible that the former Secretary of Transportation has made it his political mission to only show up when it’s time to throw groups of people under buses.

I made jalapeño simple syrup and then put it in some pink fizzy lemonade and 10/10 highly recommend

we are extremely fortunate that no CDC workers were shot yesterday in the attack targeting them. around a dozen floors in the headquarters buildings had windows pierced by bullets.

Someone just sent me this study, and all I can say is that I don't understand why anyone would bother investigating this question. 1/n

In case you're wondering why every article about this study leads with "participants doubled their weight loss!"

Taijuan Walker could have just called it a day, not go full speed and coast to the end of his contract. Nobody would really notice or care. We’re in August and he’s given the team quality for most of the season, in different roles. I’m proud of him.

Democrat Forrest Dunbar was on Nat Guard training in Poland and got personal leave, and bought his own ticket, to get back to AK and vote for the override. If you are wondering why the special session was scheduled when he was in Poland, well, I'm thinking no one imagined he would do what he did

A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.

I have/had so many appointments this summer and it is killing meeeee. four for the dentist alone!!! I still have three left for various doctors and two I haven’t even been able to schedule yet. my poor adhd-riddled brain is crying out in pain.

bh that man would drop the L and B too given the chance 🙄

It's wild to me that Substack actively hosts and promotes nazi newsletters and yet academics are cool with hosting their little blogs on there tbc this is not, like, "I don't like their views so calling them nazis" ... it's actual neonazi newsletters, with swastikas etc

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

If you're worried about your daughter losing at sports to a trans kid just wait until you hear about "tall kids" or "rich kids"!!! There's a thousand reasons why one kid might win over another and gender identity is like not even on the list

so when you're like "oh parents have legitimate concerns," that's like saying I have legitimate concerns if I don't want to go to the bathroom because the Wolfman is shitting in there. Yeah maybe that might be a legitimate concern IF THE WOLFMAN WAS REAL - but it doesn't matter, because he's NOT

I think the really important thing about the "trans sports debate" is that it's NOT REAL, the things that people are fearmongering about are NOT REAL and are NOT HAPPENING. Cis women are not competing at a disadvantage against trans women, cis men aren't transitioning to win at sports, IT'S NOT REAL
