YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SCHWARBINO IS STAYING IN PHILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AI can literally only rearrange the past based on probabilities, it can definitionally never create something new.

In line for the TSA behind this guy

You know what would be a lot more exclusive than the Baseball Hall of Fame? The "guys intentionally walked with the bases loaded" Hall of the Absurd.

Trading Juan Soto for CJ Abrams and MacKenzie Gore, then turning around years later and trading CJ Abrams and MacKenzie Gore for different prospects is when it starts to feel like it's not a MLB team as much as a ponzi scheme

It is absurd that people think Notre Dame is in the wrong here.

Ballot #11 is from first-time voter Dan Szymborski. Digital Dandy selects 10 candidates and notes on his ballot that he would have selected two more with no 10-vote limit. Beltrán, Félix, Andruw and Pettitte are 3-for-3 among first-timers. In the Tracker*: tracker.fyi

The Guy Teams Were Willing To Face After Intentionally Walking Barry Bonds has now been elected to the Hall of Fame over Barry Bonds

jeff kent the inaugural inductee to the fifa baseball hall of fame

Some people (not me) use Sunday morning to catch up on their politics, so here was my Say No to AI piece from this week for that. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

Ohio State is the St. Louis Cardinals of the Big Ten. Fuck them.

Related to recent events, here’s Pedro Martinez as an Albuquerque Duke

You know what, good for Indiana. It's funny as fuck that they beat THE Ohio State.

That is very, VERY dumb, to be clear.

Man, I don't think I'd even contemplated what could happen if Indiana won.

I’m remembering an Uber ride to the airport in Houston a few years ago-my driver, a young guy, came here from Nigeria to study medicine, told me all about his future dreams and what he was going to contribute to his new country. So inspiring

Fernando Mendoza's backup is his brother Alberto, which means all the Indiana quarterbacks who didn't make the depth chart are below the Mendoza line.

Back in. Thank God. That would have sucked so much for the sport.

Holy shit, Mendoza is already down?!

Not to go all Tom Friedman or anything, but I once had an Uber driver who was studying for his Citizenship Exam for a long ride to the airport. When he found out I taught Debate & Government he wanted me to listen while he studied so I could explain stuff he had questions about. 1/2

Honestly, if I was married to Stephen Miller I would also want to die.

OMG. There is a Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl.

More like Lolabama at this point 😂

Frank Sinatra almost got into a fist fight with Bing Crosby on the set of High Society to defend the dignity of Louis Armstrong, who was added to the production due to Sinatra’s advocacy. It’s not hard to find PSAs for tolerance that Sinatra filmed!

Rare that a trade breaks up *two* bands but here we are.

The College Football playoff committee is a total sham if Alabama stays ranked ahead of Notre Dame after back-to-back duds of performances. This is an embarrassment.

It's not going well for the robot delivery services in Chicago 😂

God Bless Texas Tech

The way I gasped y'all

Everything is so dumb, but the FIFA peace prize might be the dumbest thing ever.

This might be the least athletic photo to ever appear in The Athletic. And that's saying something, because Rob Manfred exists and was definitely the previous record holder.

Love Discord being like "bro you didnt complete any quests this year" yeah man I dont know what those are and I'm working really hard not to have to learn

Good for Berman. More of this please

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

I have friends and family members who, for nearly 30 years, have asked me to explain legal matters. I have stopped doing this with Supreme Court rulings because it’s all made up and the only answer is “they’re doing this because they’re Republicans and they want to advance Republican priorities.”

I'm not sure either of these are the final answer, but I definitely agree that we need to rebrand "the shadow docket" to something that more clearly conveys the nefarious activities of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has no legitimacy and whoever the Democrats nominate for President next needs to pack the Court as one of their first acts.

You aren’t going to believe this. But there’s an important distinction between detaining someone as a law enforcement action in an interdiction and summarily killing them.

My latest has some questions about MLB's fan council www.bleedcubbieblue.com/chicago-cubs...

Went back to 2023 pitch usage, plus added 2 MPH to his fastball (cutter). The pitch also had better shape and better zone rate. Curveball also had better locations. Increased sinker usage worked last year, not sure if it’s effective long term. The sweeper usage could improve.

We are in a fucking emergency and these people keep voting like it's 1999 🙄

Sure. Whatever. 🙄 Why even vote if this is what you're going to do with your Hall of Fame ballot?

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

Woke Bill Kristol is one of my favorite parts of this cursed timeline 😂

I think "financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion" might be the worst thing I've ever read the competition is strong but it's a real contender

So yeah, if you're represented by a Republican in a district that was carried by less than 20 points, tomorrow would be a good day to call and demand that the ACA subsidies continue.

an actual lefty candidate managed a 13 point shift left from 2024 on midterm-level turnout in fucking Tennessee we are going to win
