I usually don’t like to indulge the ironic guiltposting I constantly see here, but the fact is most of y’all missed out on a super fun time. That’s OK. Same time next year, more or less. And if you have cash lying around, we’re still happy to take your donation: nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

When we started the 1st Annual @nosubsplease.org Triviathon Fundraiser, my goal was to put my ability to be supremely annoying at the service of feeding people. Which is exactly what I did, and boy, did people validate that. We raised nearly $4,500 for food banks in 21 areas—and we’re not done yet!

GENTE: In 95 minutes, Louisa and I go head-to-head in the 1st Annual NSP Triviathon Fundraiser, raising money for food banks with every question we answer correctly. Help us do even better! We're taking pledges on stream! I will read a poem! Fun begins at 7:00 PM EST: www.twitch.tv/lnpgaceta

For the new org we picked up, and for Georgia joining the fundraiser, here’s some especially emblematic pictures of Clark and Minnie. Do you want more of these? Guess what: donate more, add more states, and you can see more of these wonderful babies! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

I have good news and bad news. Good news: we hit our goal! Man, y'all really, *really* wanted me to read a poem on air, huh? Bad news: that that's only if we can answer all 66 questions—so I'll keep pushing! How much further can we go in 23 hours? Let's find out: nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

With two days left, *if* Louisa and I manage to get every single question right, and with my matching the first $500, we've beaten my old record of raising $3,317. But I want to feed people even more than that, and we're not perfect. So help us! Donate! Boost away! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

Of course I didn’t forget! One more state and one more organization means one more picture of each of my beautiful pets. And remember—if we hit that $3,317 number, I’ll randomly select a donor and read a poem of their choice on stream! What are you waiting for? nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

I just took some of the best Minnie pictures ever. There are 34 states left to light up on the board. You all get to enjoy a Minnie picture every time we get a new state to participate. Capisce? Then fill out the form and let's get some cat pics on the timeline: nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

As promised, three pictures of Clark, for the three new organizations to which people have pledged. Want more pictures of Clark? Donate to our fundraiser! One picture per new organization! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

And to celebrate Nevada and Minnesota becoming part of our fundraiser, here’s two pictures of Minnie! If we hit goal—and I’ll say we’re still $1,000 away—I’ll randomly select a donor and read a poem of their choice during the stream, just three days away! Again: nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

Four days left, and I already owe y'all three pics of Clark and two of Minerva, which is just about the best problem I could be having. I'll get back to y'all later tonight with those, but you could always take the next two hours to get those numbers up! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

If, by the grace of God and the kindness of strangers, we hit our goal—my current triviathon record of $3,317—I will select one random donor and, during the fundraiser, dramatically read a poem they choose. So get it done! Five days left to make it happen! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

With five days left until our fundraiser, and despite Louisa's and my best efforts, we're still not where we want to be. So we're busting out the big guns. For each new organization you pledge for, I'll post a Clark pic. For each new state, I'll post a Minnie pic. nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

One week left! We've added another org, another state, and another few dozen dollars. Will you be the first from your state? Seven days until Louisa and I compete to answer 66 trivia questions and—hopefully—raise lots of money for food banks across the States! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

Gente, if you tried to donate overnight, we ran into some technical difficulties with those dastardly WPForms and, as a result, did not receive your kind entry. Could we trouble you to try again? nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

Day 5: I'm sure there are English words that express my gratitude, but it's late, I'm tired, and I don't have them just now. This is wonderful—but we'd have to get all 66 questions right for that, and I want to get food banks as much money as possible. So help me do that! forms.gle/r3ynDhqFbVqP...

Day 4: I know I speak for my co-host when I say we are blown away by the incredible generosity our donors have shown. I do *not,* however, speak for her when I say that I would really like to catch up to her lead! Help me get a little closer, won't you? Pledge here: forms.gle/3tyNjyrfrQwV...

You know, I expected to see a bit of a jump in Day 2. I did not expect to see this. Our potential max is up to nearly $700, before matching! So why not join us? Just twelve days until Louisa and I go head-to-head to raise money for local food banks across the US: forms.gle/VtgTXMHooaY8...

ANNOUNCING: The 1st Annual No Substitutions, Please Thanksgiving Fundraiser! Louisa and I will go head-to-head answering 66 trivia questions. We're asking people to pledge money for their local food banks for each one we get right. Want to participate? Check out the form: forms.gle/WSbvEkrJACxA...

Plus, in the spirit of @adapalmer.bsky.social, I'm matching the first $500 in donations. So what are you waiting for? Sign up, pledge some money, and in two weeks from today you can have an absolute blast watching two nerds get outrageously competitive about food trivia!

By the end of Day 1, our wonderful donors have pledged a potential max of almost $200 for food banks in their areas—and that's before any matching we do! Join us! 13 days left until Louisa and I go head to head to help feed people this Thanksgiving: forms.gle/VtgTXMHooaY8... Details below!

We've been negligent about getting our videos uploaded, so we're fixing that today. Let's start with a developmental match (i.e., even we have no idea what the hell is going to happen) between @kristencrossing.bsky.social's Malditos de Naguabo and the Zumbadorcitos de Vieques: youtu.be/xfuePX4-Fj4

TONIGHT: When we counterprogram the World Series, we want to bring the heat. So it's #LNPAfterDark tonight, which means @nsmckinnon.bsky.social and Louisa can swear and read the more risqué ads they've found in old-timey newspapers. Sound good? fun begins at 8:05 PM EDT: www.twitch.tv/lnpgaceta

TONIGHT: You could watch the World Series, sure—or you could take in a legitimate baseball product! The 🧭 #Navegadores, fresh off another incredible season, take on the 🐐 #Chupacabras in the first round of the LNP playoffs! fun begins at 7:05 PM EDT: twitch.tv/lnpgaceta

TONIGHT: It's the 1907 Partido de Campeones! Come watch the best hundred players in the Liga Nacional Puertorriqueña fight it out. Does 🔴 Betances take it this year? Or will it be 🔵 Hostos? fun begins at 7:05 PM EDT: twitch.tv/lnpgaceta

After the 6th inning: 🧭 Navegadores 2 🦜 Cotorras 0 Despite a lot of Naguabo sound and fury, other than 🇵🇷 Benji Valdez’s two-run single, the Naves are hanging on to a thin lead. Can they hold on? We’ve got a poetry reading in less than an inning! Hop in! www.twitch.tv/lnpgaceta

9/26 (tonight!): We couldn't get the all-lefty lineup we wanted, but the 🧭 Navegadores nonetheless welcome the reigning champion 🦜 Cotorras to town. Commercials! Poetry! Fun with LNP history! And more, courtesy of Louisa and @nsmckinnon.bsky.social! fun begins at 7:05 PM EDT twitch.tv/lnpgaceta

We’re allowed our little Olympic team and our flag-covered cars and our fried plantains, so long as we remember our place and express our gratitude when the Americans come to town to indulge their national adolescence.

If there is one thing that lights the revolutionary fire within me to burn hot and sky blue, it is that this fucking cesspool of a country has forced me and my people to scrape and bow and apologize and be *proud* of our “kindness,” which is really the servile character that’s been forced on us.

He had to swallow his pride in two languages, to carry the baseball reputation of an entire country on his back for a good portion of his career, and yet he held himself to a higher standard than every suburban white boy raised to be a top 100 prospect who pretends like no one ever believed in them.

Clemente got routinely slagged off as a hypochondriac, malingerer, layabout, time bomb, and everything else by a sports press that didn’t know how to deal with an Afro-PR player who was incredible on the field and had the audacity to be proud of it, and yet he learned to distinguish friend from foe.

This—from David Maraniss’ bio of Clemente—is why he’s the GOAT to me. Much of this book is devoted to talking about Clemente’s unique willingness to apologize, and I think about how now people let pro athletes off the hook in a way they don’t any other profession, while pretending they’re like us.
