I am being told it's been a week since I published a book that someone called "yearning on main." mm, baseball, fake dating, not so much grumpy sunshine as chaos4spreadsheet. available on a bunch of e-retail platforms and in print www.kdcaseywrites.com/breakout-year

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

I can’t guarantee you that there aren’t individual unscrupulous people who may offer blurbs for money, but I have never heard of this, never done it, and never had it done for me. Don’t believe every cynical, confident know-it-all who tries to out-misanthrope you.

I see people comparing this to 30s Germany and yes, of course. But we see this playbook across all sorts of authoritarian governments, current and historical, and in our own history. Fugitive Slave Acts of 19th century, Lavender Scare, McCarthyism all come to mind.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

oh, and I cannot emphasize this enough, my goodness

Perhaps you are unmoved by Gov Gav’s shittiness toward trans people? Well, fear not! There are so many other ways he’s terrible!

Recently I got to tell a friend about this and felt slightly unhinged. “No, I swear this is what actually happens in the book.”

was the world ever normal i often ask myself

the next CBA needs to have some form of protection for players (and families) and de-escalation of sports betting built in. gambling addiction is a disorder, full stop. it can, like many disorders, also lead you to behave like an asshole

I actually have too many plums in my icebox, where William Carlos Williams when you need him?

this is basically the plot of breakout year

They make millions. We make peanuts. Living wages for Dodger Tour Guides now.

First reaction: I will not be doing this. Second reaction: Upworthy still exists??!

I had almost forgotten about the time a bunch of circus elephants got loose in Newmarket, and the 911 audio is even funnier almost 20 years later

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

My therapist just admitted that he didn’t actually know what Teams was and I have never been so jealous of anyone in my life.

The new Netflix Pride and Prejudice adaptation is making me ask the really important questions, like are the Bennet parents supposed to be HOT?!?!

They are erecting Confederate monuments in D.C. because D.C. is under Confederate occupation www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

My birthday is the trade deadline so I always look to see which team gets me the best birthday gift. Thank you, Tigers.

please subscribe, I am very tired

Hammerstein is like, finally, I can ditch this dude for good

Dude the Trade Deadline is wild

kiss the homies good night on august 1st

we have this, it's called trading for carlos carrasco

You can tell it’s late July from my overwhelming urge to go to L.L. Bean and buy a flannel shirt I don’t need.

My friend just told me that when her dad, who is a huge Cubs fan, was in the hospital for heart surgery, she wanted to buy him a Ryne Sandberg “get well soon” Cameo but couldn't afford it. She contacted him and Sandberg sent her dad a message and a selfie for free.

it is genuinely funny that black protestant aunties are basically the strongest warriors of the democratic party but you never hear any discussion about "how do we keep the black protestant aunties happy?"

Baseball doesn’t need a salary cap. It needs more owners who care about winning and are committed to being competitive. Don’t let the worst owners in the league gaslight you into feeling sorry for them. Billionaires not spending money is a choice!

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

can confirm I woke up to a message from @katelinnea.bsky.social that was basically, "Grant Holmes is hurt TOO? Welcome to Atlanta, Erick Fedde" and lo and behold

Very proud I have a timestamp on this and everything.

Also truly, they should list Dino Ebel as the winning pitcher

LET PETE HIT!!!! Lmao

system designed to impose maximum violence on trans women and girls works as intended

This is so much better than watching the eighth best pitcher in the Nats bullpen pitch a third inning

They should implement this in the regular season

Incredible news out of New Hampshire tonight: we pushed the Republican governor (who faces re-election every 2 years) to veto a book ban AND an anti-trans bathroom ban 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I needed this good news today.

Very ecologically conscious of MLB to play this seventh inning in the air we’re all going to breathe in a generation. Courageous

the actual full quote: "A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

Is Cal Raleigh’s ass the most culturally significant ass since J. Lo’s? Can Cal Raleigh’s ass single-assedly save Major League Baseball? These are the things only the true sickos ponder (complimentary)

✨catchers✨

okay so start a rumor about a woman based on nothing, get death threats aimed at her, and get to host the homerun derby? do I have that right???

whatever the opposite of a scouting report is, that's what these are. credit to @katelinnea.bsky.social for like a good third of these. also continuing to never be normal about erick fedde — year 9 or so

so I just asked for a column full of these and, well, here you go:

The MLB Players' Association has urged non-U.S. born members, which include some @tigers.bsky.social, to carry documentation to avoid confusion over immigration. bit.ly/4lSTpot

i think you should be of the age of the majority before signing a baseball contract and i'm including international signings in this*

I just read this and it was so good. (And that line cracked me up too.)

to the person who said there were an absurd number of jewish characters in my books*, there were two jewish pitchers in the first six innings of this yankees game
