Alex Vesia addressed the media today for the first time about his daughter’s death during the World Series. He thanked the Dodgers and Blue Jays for their support, and encouraged people who are struggling to seek therapy. Hat tip to @fabianardaya.bsky.social for transcribing Vesia’s full statement.

The least relevant thing I can say about this, but a firmly held belief: if you're beyond a certain age (idk, 23?), wearing your hat backwards is immediately disqualifying if you want to be taken seriously. You're a child not a man. Naturally, three of these losers wear their hats backwards.

Well that's pretty unambiguous

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

The Trump administration has spent more than $30 million to send migrants to far-flung countries that are not their own, including, in a few instances, paying over $1 million a person, a new report from the Democratic chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says. https://cnn.it/3MuzgJk

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

This is an extremely Bluesky understanding of the Senate and options the Democrats have if Alito retires before a new Congress is seated

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised! New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

David Gelernter, a creationist computer scientist who has long been a disgrace to Yale University, has been suspended for referring to an undergraduate student as a "v small goodlooking blonde" in a job recommendation to Jeffrey Epstein. He said later that he was "very glad" to have written it.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

They are stealing our money.

I mean I'm not saying that ALL post-secondary administrations should be swept into a garbage bin and then fired directly into the sun, but....

Best to assume this rancid ham loaf is lying at all times. So don’t trust and definitely verify!

Hmmm. Louder then.

These reality tv folks really thought they could go full masks off I guess. From Housewives to House renos, everybody wants to show off.

World Cup winner and 2x Olympic gold medalist Abby Wambach is ending her 20-year association with the agency led by Casey Wasserman after the Epstein files documented the founder's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

This is a different person he’s arguing with but just an incredible thing to say after you’ve told the previous BLS commissioner that the previous BLS commissioner was fired while also misspelling her name

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

It’s official: the jobless boom of Trump’s first year back in office was even worse than we originally thought. 2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003. trib.al/WgXWaIN

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
