Oakland Toots

Opinion: Why Oakland Roots aren’t fun anymore and why Benny Feilhaber should be back It was not fun to be a Roots fan on Tuesday night. I went to the game alone – too humiliated to ask my partner or a friend to spend money on any Roots game, let alone a weeknight – and sat in GA Se…

Read what Jack has to say about the Roots’ season.

They got run by the atrocious Roots and needed the greatest failure of refereeing I’ve ever seen to squeak out a win at home.

Would still almost certainly win the championship game because the West always wins.

let’s… fucking… GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

i been sayin' -- dont run from the crime shit, tell the american people who is stealing from them!!

Just fyi. Very good name generally and for a cop specifically.

Reasonably funny quips.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

We take my son to his grandparents’ house in the burbs and it’s really nice to have a park right there and the thing that frustrates me is that the cities don’t have to be worse and are set up to be better! We just have to make them.

Classic.

I know it’s easy to get inured to this stuff but imagine a podcast ep where @mikeduncan.bsky.social is telling you about this happening in some other country at the same time that a crisis in parliament has shut down the national budget.

I’m listening to Revolutions for the first time and I just realized how dumb it is that I’ve been avoiding following him as though there will be spoilers on his feed.

The discourse on how these guys look like dudes who will LOVE Chicago is killing me. Like, I feel like I knew these dudes when I lived there.

Given how freely Trump has ignored countless laws these past several months -- laws! -- why on Earth does anyone seriously suggest that Democrats or anyone else for that matter should try to reach some agreement with him? The default should be "fuck you" until he's impeached, out of office, or dead.

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

My wife is the person in this relationship I actually respect

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles

My list does stretch as far as him, though.

My Westlaw ai results are about 30% perfect correct argument with good citation, 35% helpful cases but generates bad citation (overstates or misunderstands holding but can be reworked to be useful) 35% utter nonsense. This is only in my niche area. Very useful for basics like pleading standard.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Biden had better fucking outlive Trump so Jake Tapper looks like even more of a colossal dumbass. He owes us that much.

The Supreme Court at this point has no more epistemic authority over constitutional interpretation than Area Man of Onion article fame

dem elected officials need to make it very clear that the next time we are in office, we will have a comprehensive investigation into and prosecution of every ICE agent who has carried out a wrongful arrest or otherwise violated constitutional rights

A screenshot of the starting pitchers for tonight’s game, Early-Schlittler. It kind of sounds like Early Pooper.

You can call me someone who drinks a pot of coffee every morning, but I think of myself as more of an

A portrait of James Madison at 25, but he's been edited to have a little fuckboy moustache and shitty goatee and a blue backwards baseball cap. His collar has also been edited lower.

Like I know nobody asked for this, but: yes I would believe this man is 25.

I’m an all-time Roots sicko who pays for league-wide coverage and I still find it hard to follow other teams. Who would I talk to about them? My colleagues don’t even follow our local team. My in-laws humor me by supporting Roots but aren’t gonna follow the league.

I want to pack the court because it’s the right thing that will improve the country. But I will enjoy watching this man’s dreams turn to ash.

Boycotting this World Cup is getting easier and easier, and I live within a (reasonably) easy 20-minute train ride or one of the venues.

Joe Malfa specifically using and citing @usltactics.com’s playoff odds projections. Sorta fun. Unlike this game.
