This country isn’t divided between Democrats and Republicans. It’s divided between wealthy people who think it’s fine to do whatever it takes to amass money and powerβ€”including sucking up to known pedophiles for access to the eliteβ€” and the rest of us suckers who are not amoral monsters.

I wish you best of luck on the back-sleeping. I've never been able, wish I could, tried to train myself this year, failed, but still have hope!

Decent bet this means no Geno in '26. We know they view him more as a dh than everyday 3b and they just signed a rh dh. What they really need is a rh 2b or lh 3b to balance the rookies at those positions.

They don't care that the cover-ups are clumsy. Their goal isn't to take over the news, it's to destroy it. To destroy our sense-making capacity. To destroy truth.

It's really too bad we don't have an entire genre of literature devoted to how bad of an idea it is. Think of all the time and lives we could save!

Technically she didn't say talks are around those players, but noted those are two players that she knows have been asked about by STL

Because he's absolutely awful in the field, like should only ever DH. Has zero power, is a bad baserunner. Teams know he's a good hitter, but everything else pulls that down way too far.
