Hunter Greene has bone chips and loose bodies in his right elbow. Will have arthroscopic surgery Wednesday. Timeline for a return is 14-16 weeks. #reds

This framing is insane and actively leaves you misinformed as to what actually happened

Saying you'd pass the test because you're "a proud Brit" who has "served the country" immediately tells me you know nothing about the test.

Look, I'm just saying that when the Govt sends out Mike Tapp to defend their immigration Reforms, they may not be sending their best

To those who pay attention to such things this is grim as fuck, actually.

At this point I’m treating a man’s declaration that they’ve read The Art of War as the equivalent of “I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.”

“When I was growing up, the story of Israel was always ever-present in the family home and in the school,” he says. “As I got older, though, I was always really aware of socialist Zionism, a small group of people that were always against the eviction of the Palestinians from their homeland, and [non-Zionist Jewish socialist movement] Bundism as well. “So, there’s lots of different aspects of what a Jewish homeland would look like. It is a complicated, sensitive and nuanced conversation. What is clear to me, though, is what Zionism is under Benjamin Netanyahu – a genocidal regime.” “Zionism is racism” is the title of a motion that is being sent to the next Green Party Conference and that Polanski has not opposed. Would that statement not flatten the nuance he speaks of? “If we’re talking about Benjamin Netanyahu and the genocidal regime, then that is obviously racist,” he replies. But “Zionism is racism” would be labelling as racist those he grew up alongside – family, friends – who consider themselves Zionist. “I think all statements and slogans are complicated because there’s always more nuance behind a sentence, and so that’s why I think the sentence needs qualifying to talk about the present day and what’s happening right now.” He would not consider them racists for being Zionists, though, would he? “Who, sorry?” Zionists he grew up around, for example. “I think if someone supports Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocide, then I think there’s no other definition of that than racist.” But he has mentioned different kinds, such as socialist Zionism? “Yeah, and so that’s for that person to define what their Zionism is. That’s why I’m defining the Zionism that I’m talking about. And that’s the problem with labels, right?”

This is also a fucking word salad response. 'It all depends what the definition of Zionism is' - except this motion (which he refuses to condemn) literally does not make any distinction! You could be a left-wing Histadrut organiser who hates Netanyahu, this motion would still define you as a racist.

This is violent, sickening rhetoric.

GB News commentator claiming here that non “indigenous” people are committing “genocide” against the UK.

GB News is beyond the fucking pale

Racist fucking assholes.

what is the actual point of having Ofcom?

In his "autobiography" (more a loosely edited diary), John Adams on Sep 9, 1776 noted without comment—in one sentence—that Congress had officially adopted the name "United States."

He then spent over 500 words recounting an argument w/ Ben Franklin about whether to close bedroom windows at night.

NEW: After Indiana passed its draconian abortion ban, an interfaith group of women in 2022 sued the state, arguing the ban violated their religious liberty rights. A trial court just granted a permanent injunction against the ban. Thread 🧵:

...and less than an hour after that, the Israeli military: war is "far from over"

A problem following US politics on Bluesky is that once a week, Trump decides to inflict a massive wound on himself for no reason and Bsky insists that this is it, he’s finished this time, and then people get disappointed and act like he’s fine because he’s merely bleeding out with one limb left

Are the global markets really swinging back because of an ambiguous comment by the world's most powerful idiot? Has everyone lost their fucking minds?

"Actually this tax rise is a type of tax cut" is Rachel Reeves taking notes on this

We're not going to get anywhere unless we, as a party, stop trying to legislate out consequences.

market people are fucking hilarious you could tell them the moon was discovered to be made out of rare pokemon cards and they'd boost trading cards stock 90000%

And it’s Tristan Beck of the Giants who closes out the win!

Whoa Great Britain might be about to win a game at the WBC

She has exactly one brain cell with room only for one thought at a time, there’s no other explanation

Would this be the same Iran conflict Kemi Badenoch has just spent an entire week calling Keir Starmer a coward for not wanting to join?

A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

If you need to be begged to fight fascism you're not on the moral high ground, my guy.

“I believe in stealing from the rich” please stop acting as if shoplifting from a supermarket makes you a gentleman thief robbing millionaires of insured jewels and rare works of art, you’re just making the world a worse place

This is how you end up with everything in a store behind a glass case with tags on with Jeff Bezos remaining thoroughly unbothered

counterpoint: populism delenda est

(In terms of potential backup starters, really impressed with Trevor McDonald who’s continuing spring training the way he finished his first MLB starts last year)

also lol

Webby, Ray and Roupp are all looking really good, the main thing I remember with Houser is that he got jumped on by an unfairly stacked US team and Mahle’s only pitched a couple of innings but they’ve been scoreless.
