Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Payroll floor for all teams

This is Donnie Mattingly’s first ever trip to the World Series. Incredible. Such a great dude. Unfathomable it took so long.

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Bye-bye Mayor Cop, a piece of shit loser who sacrificed your neighbors to ICE so he could spare himself the prison term he deserves. He leaves behind a legacy of closed libraries, escalating unaffordability, off-the-charts police corruption. An oleaginous creep only liberal pundits could respect.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

anytime you make a post about how people should stop using Spotify because it fucking sucks, someone pops in from from the Discover feed about how there's no alternative and ignores that you can just buy music or use another streaming service that isn't doing this shit. Anyway, stop using Spotify

Happy Fourth

This is a “Scoop” because you know that the worst people in the world will take this and run with it. Congratulations.

tech bro is short for technically broken

Worked on a movie with Russell Crowe years ago, he was basically a pain in the ass the entire time. His last night of work, while the crew was wrapping out of a location in the rain, he had his assistant bring a big stack of his band's CDs to give out as gifts.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

University of Chicago Crime Lab boss: Most conventional wisdom about what causes shootings is wrong Conventional wisdom about violence is wrong, Jens Ludwig, director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab, says in “Unforgiving Places,” in which he looks at why Greater Grand Crossing has so many mor...

reminds me of a great mario small paper about how poor neighborhoods in chicago have much lower commercial density than nyc and atlanta. i think it’s a big piece chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

i also got added to a group chat by mistake. yeah last night my wife texted “you up?”

Every time.....

God dammit. Timing couldn’t be worse but here goes.

Chuck Schumer and I are launching our new podcast “Soul Deep: A Weekly Deep Dive Into the Music of Collective Soul” tomorrow. I do NOT support his latest decision and want to make clear this is strictly a music podcast. Please check it out

The "slo-mo plus obvious needle drop" thing really needs to stop

some helpful reminders:

-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

What to Expect this Year (and Way too early Predictions) My early favorites for End-of-the-Year Awards-along with players I think have the serious potential to make an impact this year

So my 16-year old son has decided to start writing about baseball, and posted his first piece. Check it out to learn some very specific and detailed info on arm angles and underappreciated Seattle pitchers. (from a Mets fan no less)

Democrats stop being terrified of being called a socialist challenge.

They’re going to call you one regardless. When they do say “Yes, that’s right, unlike Republicans I think American society should be defended and nurtured, not demolished by bigots and sold by billionaires and bosses.”

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

the washington generals may have lost the game, but at least they played clean, honorable basketball all the way to the end

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

the democratic party without progressives is just a group of vanilla capitalists that have agreed to only use slurs in private conversation

Every Democrat should go to their respective district and engage in some community service instead. Work a soup kitchen, sweep up a block, bring food to nurses and teachers, clean up a playground. Anything that is a concrete GOOD for other people. Less posturing and statements, more action.
