Schneider: “Everyone that is active on the roster will be available to pitch, maybe even Kev” (Gausman)

I urge @mlb not to allow the @worldseries to be decided on this kind of thing tomorrow. 'how could I ever pick up this entrapped ball?!?' JFC

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s b...

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.

During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

CBS News kills its climate unit David Ellison, the new pro-Trump chief executive of Paramount Skydance, has dismantled the best climate change reporting team in cable news.

A scoop that I’m not happy to report:

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.

They could not give a crap about anything, ever. That is never their point, nor to refer to any real thing going on. They are trying to win, at all costs, at every moment, desperately.

Donald Trump is pursuing a third presidential term the right way.

Trump - Obama 2028. Bring it on.

Canadians need to see Donald Trump for who he really is Canada needs a deal, but it needs to say no, too.

Criticizing Carney is one thing, but criticizing him for not reaching a deal with Trump yet is to miss the biggest, most important point in the world: who and what Trump really is. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

We should talk more about the drought conditions in Canada

All the pundits and news outlets that bought into these schmucks’ transparent nonsense about antisemitism at the Ivies should reflect for a few minutes on how badly and easily they were played.

If the federal Liberals use generative AI in anything having to do with serious governing, this automatically becomes the stupidest government of my lifetime

Lol

Alternative federal budget 2026: Post-secondary education | CCPA What the Canadian government should do on post-secondary education. Because true independence needs a new economic model.

Nah, this is great!

Bad call was bad, base-running brain-cramp was worse.

It was a ball, but just can't have that kind of brain-cramp on the bases

Pregnant Women, DON’T TAKE PARENTING ADVICE FROM A CONVICTED FELON WHO OWNED A TEENAGE BEAUTY PAGEANT AND HAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH THE MOST NOTORIOUS CHILD RAPIST IN MODERN HISTORY.

As a Canadian, we keep thinking "beloved neighbours, you see what's happening, no?" Don't get me wrong, we have our fruckers etc. but we're hoping things even out for you

Sorry if I seem to be harping on things a bit much today. I spent a portion of my adult life DIRT FUCKING POOR. Once, while out of work for three weeks, a friend (a 19yr old waitress) bought me two weeks of groceries and kept me alive. I've never forgotten that kindness and aim to be more like her.

Dogged without in any way creating adverse political effects

The Fred Trump treatment. Give him a fake job while Miller draws up missile strike plans on fishermen.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.

Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.

That’s a pretty good return on investment.

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

So bleakly fascinating, the small dreams of the mega-rich

I'm joined by @benclemens.bsky.social (Ben Prime while Temporarily Other Ben is out of town) to discuss Game 7 of the ALCS and preview the World Series.

Oh, Meg. I'm very sorry. I'm a Blue Jays fan, to be transparent, and that was a top five moment, to be sure. But know we are feeling for you, and that the Mariners are Canada's second team for many

Hey, in some world, sure

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.
