Prediction: a lot of what will be presented to the public as "left" on Jeff Bezos' WaPo are going to be the post-left/ex-dirtbag left journalists featured in @eoinhiggins.bsky.social tbook "Bought." Ersatz "leftwing" voices whose function is to boost reactionary talking points

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper stood nose to nose with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred during a meeting last week and told him to β€œget the f--- out of our clubhouse” if he wanted to talk about a salary cap, sources told ESPN.

Makes sense to push it to 2027 so the Dem Congress gets some of/all of the blame for the economy revving to the general election

statement that reads:

From Dr. Aron D’Souza:

"It was one of the privileges of my life to lead Peter Thiel's litigation against Gawker Media. The work my colleagues and I did was monumental. Today, however, I want to take a moment to remember the life of Terry Bollea.

The world knew Hulk Hogan, but I knew Terry Bollea. Hulk was an American hero, a fictional character. What made Terry such an exceptional person was his unique opportunity, as Terry, to truly become an American hero.

I remember that courtroom in Florida. The pressure was immenseβ€”cameras, press, a full juryβ€”and the legal and emotional stakes could not have been higher. But Terry rose to the occasion. He was dignified, courageous, and honest in a way that deeply moved the jury and everyone in the room. In that incredibly trying moment, he was the only individual who could have done what he did.

In the end, Terry became a greater hero than Hulk Hogan."

Here is a statement from Aron D'Souza, the formerly unknown Thiel associate, who helped devise the plan to destroy Gawker with secretly funded lawsuits.

D'Souza was known as "Mr. A" and was not publicly known until I wrote about him in 2018: www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryan...

Guy who claims to be one of the world's biggest free speech defenders is, once again, threatening to sue people for their speech.

For not the first time, I am going to suggest Matt Taibbi is no free speech champion.

"The diversity pipeline, let me say it this way. Sometimes, you have to look at how the world's changing around you and readjust where you are. There were certain aspects of some of our programs that were very race and/or gender based. We know that people in Washington felt it was important that we passed our programs in a way to make sure that we can continue on with our programs, continue to pursue the values that we have always adhered to without tripping what could be legal problems interfere with that process. You know, that's a judgment, my judgment. At the end of the day, I think I made it right."

in this same audio, Manfred was asked why the diversity pipeline was scrubbed from MLB's website. this was his answer:
