Padres pulled Dylan Cease after 69 pitches

The problem with these chat bots is that they are actually smarter and more interesting than the people who use them. Them: I use Chatgpt for everything! Me: *frantically cranking the volume on my music, talking way too loud* I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

"The" because most of teh time it ends up backwards.

I don't want to take anything away from the Aces. They won that series. But the fact that a borderline superteam had to go to OT in the final game against a bench mob to do it says something about that org. They don't play hungry, and Phoenix is starving to the point of almost being feral. #wnba

please please please please please the discourse will be so beautiful

I was going through classic horror movies for work activities, and I forgot just how good Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is. This is the perfect monster movie.

Re-upping because this is suddenly kind of possible?

Yankees: welp, gonna lose the division, might as well get whooped by the Orioles. Rays: psst, the Yankees are losing, we can try to win this one now.

I've got 3 games on, all muted because the language we need to stamp out wherever we find it is sportscaster.

I know that Vegas or Minnesota should win the whole thing. I know Phoenix is the outside shot dark horse to do something crazy. But the chaos agent in me wants Indiana to win it all with "I'd like to speak to your manager" on the bench in street clothes for the whole run. #wnba

is the GM of the Liberty really blaming NATASHA CLOUD—one of the assist leaders in the entire WNBA—for Sabrina's shooting performance this season? i'm sorry but WHAT? (via @mylesehrlich.bsky.social)

There's a 3 in 4 chance it's the last time you'll see either of those people happy for years, possibly decades. Don't miss that to watch schoolboys in stretch pants humping each other. That happens every week for more than a third of the year.

I've been on a musical journey for about the last 5-6 months, rekindling my love of rock and metal. The one band that was 100% in the same lane as a lot of the stuff I've been listening to is The Warning. Didn't think I liked them. Turns out I'm just not super impressed with Hell You Call a Dream.

Every "bad guy with autism" just ends up being a run-of-the-mill dissociative sociopath or a billionaire.

Ancient tales passed down through the generations tell of times when water fell from the sky. It has been so long we thought it was merely myth and fable. But today the sky water came, and it is good.

Extreme David Attenborough voice: The politics of polygamy are complex and fraught with danger. Which husband gets such an important job is a sign of status within the he-rem.

At my nicest and most patient, I'll just keep saying "Why?" and "Oh, really? How so?" in the most curious tone possible until they either stroke out from frustration or Say It Out Loud.

The 4 directions of New Orleans Uptown Downtown River Lake The 4 seasons of New Orleans Saints might be good Pelicans can't be as bad as the Saints Peli-what? It's Mardi Gras Jazz Fest preseason

Did y'all know it's considered rude (felonious in some jurisdictions) to say "God helps those who help themselves" to Christians who think the rapture is coming for them?

Christine Brennan trying to make the Fever winning a playoff series without Caitlin Clark when they couldn't win one with her last year is an op by the league, ESPN, and the woke left to make CC look bad:

Definitely not putting this up here because of an announcement of imminent retirement. That would be unethical.

Look, our genius businessman isn't a crook, he's just gullible! Definitely not smart enough to commit salary cap shenanigans. He's just a cute lil guy. The NBA was gonna come down on him and the team like an ICBM.

I'm only here now because I kept on stubbornly blooming

For the illiterati who might not understand population distribution, that's about 35-40% of the American populace even though it's only about 10% of the land.

Motion capture is so freaking eerie when you can see the person behind it clearly. Like no that's not a couple of schoolgirls, that's Kanami and Akane, and I wonder if I would've been able to identify the unease I'm feeling watching this if I didn't know that before I saw it.

They play one game in a hockey arena and it's just hip checks all night. #wnba

If the Lynx lose this game by double digits, Cheryl's gonna make them run home. #wnba

People giving this era of history too much credit. "It's Orwellian!" It's Mel Brooks. We're reenacting his satire of history. We're 3 days away from an Inquisition musical. These motherfuckers are goofy stupid weird in all the worst ways.

#wnba Liberty fans having to hear a home playoff blowout narrated by Them:

Game 7 sounds very Aspirational. They're about to ink Igor to a sponsorship deal with 0 mandatory tasks.

BREAKING: the New York Rangers have announced their intention to trade JT Miller at this season's deadline.

if you see this, quote with the energy you bring to bluesky

This is an ad inside a game. Everyone involved in putting it on a phone screen should be shunned from society permanently.

This is a beautifully laid out case. @joon.bsky.social is building an incredible thesis about all the reasons this one of the worst times to be a sports fan. Every new video feels like a Columbo "oh, uh, just one more thing"

We need a sequel to Yes Man called AI Guy and it's just a dude who outsources his every thought to an LLM app on his phone.

Of Course the Fever Can't Win Without Caitlin Clark or Caitlin Clark's Leadership Wins Game from the Bench by Christine Brennan, 15 September, 2025 #wnba #INvsATL

Lynx in the 2nd quarter like #wnba

How many mf bombs does Natalie Nakase have to drop to get in-game interviews permanently banned? #wnba

We're fast approaching a complete Sunday slate of full-contact, hard-hitting Bloodsport action between some of the toughest athletes on Earth. It's time for the #wnba playoffs.

Wondering which game Ruocco will be ruining today. I'm sure Ted Lasso will be there. #wnba

Superman realism: thin-skinned man-child refuses to answer mildly critical questions Superman totally fake: journalist asks probing follow-up questions

It is. They're huddled in their offices trying to figure out why it didn't lead to the mass violence their bosses wanted. "You give me a meme. I'll give you a war." -Every mainstream editor-in-Chief in America, 09/10/2025

Today's dopamine hit. If you distill every 90s poppy alt-rock teen rom-com headline song down to its purest essence you get this masterpiece.

When you look at the rosters, it all makes so much sense...

Soccer should allow hockey style subs but too many players on the field is a red.

Update: it kinda looks like Cocoro retired it right around the time of the trade. It looks like the new one is a generic Jordan brand 23 football jersey.

I stumbled onto a band called Neki last night, and the drummer always seems to be wearing the same #11 Dallas Mavericks Luca Doncic jersey, and I think the Lakers should send her an LA one. It'll either be goodwill/cheap publicity or epic trolling.

John Roberts in about 7 minutes:

The saddest thing I realized about this is that the Tigers probably did more than a lot of orgs would've done by quietly getting rid of these chucklefucks. My reflex reaction was like that's it, thanks for your service, time to go? Then it hit me that most teams just fire the complainers.
