Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

The last successful "pivot to video" was when they started putting baseball on TV and not just the radio.

McNamara was the tragedy. Rumsfeld was the farce. And Whiskey Pete is the terrible straight-to-streaming movie starring Rob Schneider and Victoria Jackson.

Sure the Jays may have lost the Series in maximally heartbreaking fashion but at least they don’t have to wear this terminally cornball shit

Someone told Freeman the Dodgers have a large Korean fan base and he picked the wrong Korea

“Perhaps most egregiously…” 😬 😬 😬

Still a chance for New Caledonia to join old Caledonia, too.

Wales and the Irelands all go out in particularly painful fashion (losing on pens for Wales and the Republic, losing to Italy for The North). Kinda bummed that only one of Jamaica and New Caledonia can go through, but I guess I’m pleased that one will survive until next week, at least.

1. Blue Jays 2. Vancouver Canadians 3. Oakland A’s 4. Whoever is playing the vile Red Sox 5. Whoever is playing the vile Yankees 6. Whoever is playing the vile Rays 7. Whoever is playing the contemptible Orioles 8. Phillies this season I guess

I wonder what proportion of the 22% with a positive impression primarily know about him from Newsradio—which starred Great Canadian Phil Hartman and Canadian Dave Foley—and not his accursed podcast.

I would love an explanation of why he has taken to posting like someone trying—but not quite succeeding—to write as if they were a lawyer drafting for-the-record correspondence. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It’s still “Judge is on pace for 648 strikeouts” Day for another 24 hours and I intend to enjoy every second of it.

Ah yes, the venerable and ancient legal doctrine of mundus insanus.

Genuinely don’t understand why so many people want to search for dicks in women’s underwear with the same enthusiasm as a kid hunting for chocolate eggs on Easter morning

I think I may have to make the Phillies my NL team this season b/c while Bluesky is a baseball app, for whatever reason it seems to especially be a Phillies app and who am I to swim against the current?

RT if you love baseball

Still trying to figure this out, if any of you have suggestions.

Charlie Twerk. Is that anything?

Happy Opening Day, shrimp fans! Follow us to find out when a walkoff walk is about to happen (or happened 12 hours ago if the event occurred on the West Coast). More importantly, let us know if a walkoff walk is about to happen!

Hegel-and-Harry-Potter March 10: "What's up everybody, this week we are talking about Kingsly Shacklebolt, a name that invokes both royalty and slavery, and a little thing called dialectics" March 24: "I want to start this video by addressing the allegations"

On the one hand, building it on top of national (biometric) ID cards would be doubly gross. On the other, the proposal seems a lot more speculative than the headline suggests, and necessarily years away.

Chat with lonely college cows in your area

You know what endears your brand-new national baseball broadcast to fans of all 30 teams? Non-stop Yankees exceptionalism.

Aaron Judge on pace for 648 strikeouts, which would be a new record

Here’s my question for the producers of this Netflix broadcast: how large a TV would someone need for the pitcher’s and hitter’s names on the score bug to be the size of the 20-20 line on a standard eye chart?

Erev Opening Day

Now Manfred? Will this broadcast’s indignities ever cease?

I want some of what Carla’s smoking

sorry i never responded to your email, i didn't want to and then i forgot

One of the funniest moments in music history: Billy Corgan getting righteously bullied by Kim Thayil in a Spin magazine profile

This whole thing is sobering, in its implications for both the present war against Iran and the US’s capacity elsewhere (sorry Ukraine! Best of luck Taiwan!), but this chart of projected depletion dates of munitions for fancy weapon systems is genuinely jaw-dropping.

According to this article, Israel is on track to burn through its entire stock of Arrow 2/Arrow 3 interceptor missiles (used to take out ballistic missiles) by this *Friday*.

Can’t fool me that’s not an oil futures chart that’s the cover of A Tribe Called Quest’s 1991 masterpiece The Low End Theory

You may not know it but Cheekface goofin on Malkmus and embracing their inner power trio is exactly the reinforcement you need for this horrible, stupid week

There's a specific tone of cheer when a guy and his bros realize a complicated low-stakes scheme is going to work. It's the sound of dudes rocking and it's the most beautiful sound in the world.

Who is “we” mfer

Go fash lose cash bb

I can’t disagree with a single word he says here, and that’s profoundly disorientating for me.

This is magnificent

After years of St. Andrew, St. Patrick, and St. George but no St. David, the Welsh finally get some TTC representation

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

As a pathologically lazy person, I respect how she can create a goal that is a thing of both technical and aesthetic beauty basically without doing any moving

This animal is me. I am this animal.

What an unbelievable boost for the Bully Them crowd

I’d add another criterion: you can still enjoy it if you nod off for a few minutes. With that in mind, the two best types of airplane movies are: 1. Movies involving Godzilla, King Kong, or Godzilla and King Kong; 2. Coen brothers comedies you’ve already seen.

“A second Gulf source said the Iranians believed Mr Vance would stick to his word” lmao good luck with that
