I love baseball so much, and it is constantly trying to talk me out of it.

I turn 53 at the end of the month and don't have much time left on this smoldering blue marble, but rest assured, I'll spend it not forgiving or forgetting where all of these people stood when it mattered

The public health field has bent over backwards to assuage the ‘concerns’ of anti-vaxxers for almost 3 decades now. It’s not working.

The way forward is stigmatizing these child-killing freaks and mandating that every kid gets a jab. Expand access, sure but that’s not going to move the needle.

“Some parents didn’t want entertainment to force them to have a conversation they weren’t ready for with their children”

Sounds like these people shouldn’t be parents, not that they should dictate cinema standards for everyone else

Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Queer ‘Elio’ Storyline Was Axed Because “We’re Making A Movie, Not Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Of Therapy” Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained the animation company's decision to ax a queer storyline in last year's Elio.

Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.

OMG yes. The stop sign thing I've seen for a while, but drivers just deciding to go on a red light, that's been more prevalent this past year.

Photo showing Sen MarkWayne Mullin cowardly crouching behind a row of chairs as  
approx 8 other men use various pieces of furniture to hold back rioters as they threatened to break into the House chamber on Jan. 6, 2021.

The cropping on this version of the photo is more flattering than the wide, where it’s clear that he is not only hiding behind a chair but also not helping the others in that room who were actually trying to secure the room.

Glen Kuiper back in Giants broadcast booth three years after on-air racial slur SF Giants inexplicably hiring Glen Kuiper to broadcast team

There's no reason for Glen Kuiper to call games for the Giants this year. Let @seankeane.bsky.social tell you why

the weirdest thing in the world is the US press and the media tour they organise every time a rich person threatens to leaves a state, especially because in 99% of cases it isn't even a biz being moved, just some wealthy asshole who pays about 4 bucks a year in taxes and squats on a public beach

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

Hollywood productions have never been anywhere close to as left-wing as culture warriors claim.

Common themes:
-Cops are heroes
-Wealth is glamorous and should be pursued
-Guns are awesome
-Women are objects/decoration/prizes to be won
-Violence solves problems

Not always, of course, but a lot.

Also reminder that this happened *twice*, so it's a good bet that it will happen again. Of course, that's probably a plus for the Johnson family.

Gross. And before anyone claims these were just mistakes - even if that were the case this job's main requirement is to speak clearly. If he can't do that, why does he have this job?

"I thought the joke was distasteful & unfortunate, & I think the way women are represented, it's a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats. Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior? It's not my responsibility."

it's fascinating to watch Costco lap every one of these clowns because they have the only CEO in America who still thinks his job is to run a company that does business and not be the main character of life forging his personal legacy with one eye on the group chat to see if they're impressed yet

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights

From Pill Mills to Prop Bets: Prediction Markets and Mobile Sports Betting Apps Are Fueling America’s Next Addiction Crisis Against the gamblification of the world.

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.

It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.

The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

Such treachery. Doesn’t our govt understand pandemic threats? Our vulnerability to zoonotic flu, next SARS-3 coronavirus; arboviruses and tick borne illness from climate change here on the Gulf Coast; bioweapons from our enemies: Russia, DPRK, Iran, what’s going on?
