French PM Lecornu resigning after 13 hours now makes the Lecornu the shortest length to measure political time. For those of you using old measures this is 1/18 of a Scaramucci or about 1.2% of a Truss

The Yankees had the bases loaded with no outs and the 2-3-4 hitters due up in the sixth, and scored one run. The Blue Jays had the bases loaded with one out and the 2-3-4 hitters due up in the seventh, and have scored three runs and counting. That's the game right there.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

This is true, but there's a difference between media covering "Glasman has influence over McSweeney, who has influence over PM" - which frames it as a few key individuals - and covering "Blue Labour" as a "movement," which implies representing a big tendency in the party. That's much less true.

How Jazz Chisholm Jr. cleared his head after getting benched and saved the Yankees' season
Jazz' base-running last night, from first to home (82 meters): 9.16 seconds.
Usain Bolt 100m world record: 9.58 seconds.

Jazz Chisholm is a pouty and somewhat annoying dude but bless his speedy arms and legs for this extra life.
At every level this was the game the Yankees - both players and manager - should have played yesterday.

And indeed, I am not consoled!
A team that will not let its starter go even a *few* pitches over 100 when he's on fire and cannot score from 3 men on and nobody out does not deserve to win.

Rationally, I understand that Max Fried is human and cannot go on forever. But irrationally, how dare Aaron Boone take away our emotional support pitcher and console us only with the bullpen?!
