What if, and stay with me, the barbaric and imperious way the United States responded to 9/11 is an enormous part of how we got here

If you are watching the NYC marathon today and are inspired to start running, please allow me to suggest run/walking. You don’t have to suffer! Run 8 minutes, walk 2. Run 90 secs, walk 30s. I run a minute, walk a minute. Be kind to your body. Enjoy being outside. Set yourself up for success.

I didn't enjoy the only marathon I ran, so I have very specific criteria if I ever do another one. NYC might go on the list if I get to spend time with therapy dogs.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more

that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

listen we may have lost our family business, made our kids miserable, had to live in a barn with goats and lost $50,000 to a local Russian slumlord, but at least we dont have to see gay people in public

I feel like I don't often hear runners talk like they're fans of the sport, but she knew everyone and had little previews for each of them. It was so great to listen to. I feel like she could sit down in the middle of a bunch of spectators and fit right in.

5pm on November 1: let’s go for a walk, it’s still light out!

5pm on November 2: an early darkness blankets the land. Fallow fields lay bone-bleached by moonlight. The last memories of summer fade into oblivion. The last echoes of hope lapse into baleful silence.

'We're not a violent city': Chicago locals take on ICE block-by-block The immigration agents' tear gas grenades clinked and then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.

I find it immensely heartening that so many normal people are seeing and defying the obscenity of what ICE/CBP is trying to do in Chicago, but stories like this also make clear how much more disciplined those people are than the state violence worker guys. www.reuters.com/world/us/wer...

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

In the months after Harris’ loss, much was made over the demographic shifts in the party. Young voters, Hispanic voters and Black voters — all central to the Democratic coalition — had moved substantially to the right. But Priorities’ post-election polling revealed an equally staggering swing: Between 2020 and 2024, people who consumed at least three hours of YouTube a day had moved 10 points toward Trump — a bigger swing than Black voters, Black men, young voters and a slew of other categories that were dominating headlines. “The driver of behavior in ‘24 was so much more about your media consumption,” Butterfield said.

woof

It’s possible he was told and forgot.

But it’s more likely he ended that last press availability and everybody on his staff said “great job, sir!” And hoped it wouldn’t come up again.

Most consecutive seasons winning Gold Glove to start career:

Nolan Arenado: 10
Ichiro Suzuki: 10
Steven Kwan: 4 *active

Listening to her plan for when to be induced is hilarious now. 😂

Love her talking about listening to her body after giving birth & the group chat. Her support for other mothers is lovely.

She gave like a professional-level race preview for NYC. I'd pay money to heard her on a race call someday.

again man these people don't like trump because they have similar aesthetic tastes

they want to see certain people hurt

he promises to hurt those people

FUCK WHY DID YOU GUYS LET ME TRY THIS IVE NEVER BEEN SO STRESSED IN MY FUCKING LIFE

I’m sorry/congrats

People on here will post anything. 'Baseball games have 9 innings.' No they don’t. That isn’t true.

Happy All Souls’ Day!✨
Welsh folklore tells us to give our eyes a blessing today:
“In almost every parish there was a holy well, and on All Souls’ Day old women generally washed their eyes in the waters so that their eyesight might retain its strength”

media elites have talked themselves into a weird bind, where liberalism is so much the default that simultaneously a) it doesn't need defending but also b) any defeat no matter how marginal must refute it completely

😭

“defund the police was a bad slogan”

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

If you’re ok with vouchers being used for ski trips or piano lessons but not ok with SNAP benefits being used for pizza or cupcakes, it’s not the use of public money you have a problem with.

It’s that you think wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor.

A purple sweatshirt with a graphic of a sled dog howling in front of a Pride rainbow with the words "MUSH PROUDLY" below it in Pride rainbow letters.

Glad I wore my Mush Proudly hoodie to the laundromat today. The couple next to me pulled out a Harry Potter book and started reading to each other. Good to know where each of us stands.

If you don't know the Manny Deli's story, they're offering a family meal to Chicago SNAP card holders during the crisis - and now we can help with the cost t.co/WQACF82yL5

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

The two-pickoff rule is a net positive rule, but it would have been cool to see a "throw 38 pickoff attempts if Ohtani gets on first base on the days he's pitching" strategy.

Obama: "It's like every day is Halloween, except it's all tricks and no treats. And here's the thing -- it's not as if we did not see some of this coming. I mean, I'll admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all. And you know what? Donald Trump warned you too."
