Last month Ketel Marte apologized to his teammates for missing a couple of games after his house was burglarized. It was said that his absence created a "festering" situation in the Dbacks clubhouse. Marte is an MVP-level veteran. Wonder how Cubs vets think about the rookie fucking off for the day.

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.

It’s hard to think a little more than a year ago we were talking about a cancer moonshot.

Thank you, Libs. Time to invest too much of my emotional well-being into the Mets.

I think it would be really interesting to do a comparison with historical data of big slave market locations. How active Louisiana is in these maps stood out in particular as a harrowing symmetry.

I've said it before, but we're in the try everything period. We don't know what will work or how. We do know they're not invincible, and widely hated. We need to push ourselves to be a little braver, a little bolder, a little more willing to try things that might not work.

As I’ve been saying. Nothing they’re doing changes the math on: “they simply do not have enough boots to rule this many dissenting people by force” there are too many of us in too many cities across this massive land.

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

One Chord to Another hits 24 years! Another year in the books. Next up quarter of a century. Yikes.

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

Exactly. They can't get me fired and I'm not scared of a few mean messages, so they got nothing. Two things are true: 1. These people really want to make the US into Nazi Germany 2.0 2. They're pathetically weak. Their successes come from making people afraid of power they don't really have.

Jay, you all owe an explanation of how it came to be that the exact list of users blamed by The Federalist were banned even if they did not break the ToS, and were not unsuspended until more than a day later.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Looking for a country/Americana/blues artist in Los Angeles, who can play an original solo acoustic song in a test idea for a web series I have. Would love any and all recommendations.

More than a dozen fans sitting on or near courtside tonight are wearing these bright orange shirts to protest the Liberty’s skyrocketing ticket prices for the playoffs and next season.

If I made a WPBL (Women's Professional Baseball) feed would anyone care? Also, has anyone figured out how to mirror Threads accounts to Bluesky? #wpbl #womenssports #baseball

It’s been very clear since Benoit Blanc said “the Nazi child masturbatin' in the bathroom” that Rian Johnson is the only filmmaker who truly gets what has happened to certain dudes in online spaces

she looks at them and says “can you stop, please” and looks so demoralized and that’s exactly what they need to feel: unwelcome, unappreciated, and unhappy about their assignment
