Today would be a good day to stop with the absurd hagiographies of a maga extremist provocateur and remember the family of Garrett Foster, murdered by a maga extremist with a gun who was convicted by a jury of his peers only to be pardoned less than two years later by an extremist maga governor.

YouTube video by The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder Charlie Kirk Forced To 'Denounce' Fan Desperate For Violent Overthrow Of Government

This Majority Report clip from four years ago is very telling about the rhetoric of Charlie Kirk and the audience he captured. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOLh...

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

Some really interesting nuggets here, especially wrt his velo and arm slot. Thanks.

That's something only is real GenTxers ever think about.

It is very much a cop drama with a lot of flawed characters and mucho sex.

I enjoyed Hightown well enough but it was distracting to me how badly it wanted to be The Wire but doesn't come close.

If you've never watched it, I highly recommend Halt and Catch Fire. Great underrated series many years old.

It's not considering he's hit 53, 46, and 40 in previous seasons.

Just another way of saying "Alvarez swung a bat in the on deck circle at the developmental league training facility against a warm Florida breeze and is one step closer to returning"

Dubin will be that guy imo

Great piece and spot-on assessment of Jim Crane. He is not without criticism, but he has given Astros fans a plethora of great moments to remember and his refusal to stand pat at the trade deadline when his teams are within striking distance of a WS is commendable.

Agreed. He's under contract for the next two years at 17MM and 21MM respectively and if our Walter Whites of pitching can do for him what we are used to seeing them do for guys like Kikuchi, I think the risk is worth taking.

How was Kikuchi doing last year before the trade deadline?

The injuries this season are unsustainable over the course of 162 gms but the one player I'm beyond frustrated with is Yordan, to the point where I'm ready to move on from him in the offseason. His hands and knees are a constant concern. He has never hit 40 HRs in a season.

Such a talented guitarist. I love his tone.

LA has 13 currently on the IL with 11 on the 60-day IL. The Astros have 17 with 9 on the 60-day IL.

So I beg to differ that LA has had it worse.

All us olds are like "Cesar Cedeno, duh"

Such a phenomenal book, I need to read it again.

If only they'd gone on Rogan.....

Agree with you 100% in general here but the weather forecasts were not wrong at all and the NWS issued flash flood warnings hours before. This was a failure on the part of local officials to sound the alarm to get everyone to higher ground in a timely manner.

Hang it in the Louvre. #Astros

A birdie told me you might be back in time for the series in LA

Best wishes to your uncle and family. It's so depressing and demoralizing to see the destruction wrought by unchecked right-wing fanaticism and being unable to stop it. GOP electioneering is built upon convincing the American people that government is evil, then proving it when they get in power.
