Cubs and Brewers went 9-9 against each other this season, and Milwaukee outscored Chicago 77-76. No, this doesn’t make me any less dejected.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

A Redditor made a graph of the percent of population of US and Canada metro areas over 1 million that live in a given density. When they ordered them by average density the lowest ranked Canadian metro area, Edmonton, was ranked 14th between Miami and Washington. 6 of the top 15 were Canadian metros

Small dick energy

If I’m Jed Hoyer I would simply kill my boss monster, Tom Ricketts, then use the coins that come out of him to buy better baseball players

There's always next season

RIP the 2025 Cubs, they died as they played the entire second half of the season

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

good lord Kittredge what were you doing there 💀

The purpose of government is not to maximize earnings to investors

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Talk to your children about undefeated Indiana

Indiana football is even more fun once you realize they’re being coached by this man

The ACC should be fucking DISSOLVED

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

Peoole in this country are addicted to bias confirmation and have astonishingly poor media literacy so naturally we are barreling down a pretty dark path when AI can put out clearly fake shit and have people be like "Well it's not THAT far from being real!" Hoo boy we are in some trouble right now

it is so important to have this over here to repost when we need it

This is AI.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I swear to you that right now the chyron on Fox News says NOBEL COMMITTEE SNUBS TRUMP

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

It’s not just people that get illegally fired. Those of us in government are tired of being treated like subhumans and many are looking to leave. I don’t think people realize how bad it is.

Three key points: 1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February 2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty 3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

I wasn't great at chemistry. It still amazes me this works. Iron air batteries. Will this be the tech that wins out? I have no idea but iron and air are cheap and we've got more than enough.

pretty preeeeeetty cool that Congress gets paid to do this shit while I DON'T get paid to do my job

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss. More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

one of my fave bsky habits is scrolling through the replies to a funny post and blocking the humorless scolds who feel the need to vomit their opinions into public view 💙

sherman, for the love of god!

Chicago is safe, beautiful and vibrant. In fact, it was just voted the best big city in America for the ninth year in a row. If the jaw dropping images you’ve seen recently on TV or social media make it look like a war zone, that’s on Donald Trump. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

mmm, so the casting of protestors as terrorists continues apace. great.

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

shutdown update: we've now hit missed paycheck #1

Honestly it was like This just in: The prize went to a democracy activist, not the guy murdering random people in the Caribbean Sea [Touches earpiece] The democracy activist says they're glad the guy murdered random people in the Caribbean Sea. Now they're dedicating the prize to the murder guy.

whoops!

From the Nobel Committee today: “Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.”

nooooooooooooooooooo Truly THE Loyola icon.

that's why it's the best sport

I've decided to dedicate my life to confidently popping into people's replies and saying "why are people surprised by this" despite nobody, anywhere, expressing any surprise

Actually girlfriend of of one of founders of antifa: Hedy Lamarr who literally had to flee the Nazis and created the tech behind WiFi. Also the image that inspired Snow White. Look it all up. 👇🏾

This is remarkable. The world added more solar and wind capacity in 2024 than we added demand. 100% of demand growth PLUS 9% to retire dirtier sources. Cheap energy keeps winning. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

seeing too many "yeah man, don't pass a budget it's all pointless anyway" posts from people I generally respect, and as a federal employee all I can say is: fuck anyone who thinks this way. also double fuck anyone whose position is "all fed employees should just quit!" oh ok. easy for you to say.

lmaooo what

This was such a wholesome moment! Mariners fan Jameson Turner who caught Cal Raleigh’s homer with these incredible handmade shirts. Cal got him a bat and told him to keep the ball.

Been trying to figure out who Craig Counsell reminds me of for a while, and I finally figured it out: Stu Pickles
