how can you not be romantic about baseball and/or racing?

Dude the Trade Deadline is wild

IDK who needs to know this but...

You can sing the Sesame Street song "Rubber Ducky" but change the first line to "Motherfucker, burn in hell" and it works PERFECTLY

holy shirtballs this is amazing

it was perfectly doable even with bullshit cautions

good day to be a woke NASCAR fan

Oh no

just listened to Goodbye To Romance again after way too long, and now I’m jonesing to do an a cappella arrangement of it #RIPOzzy

Full mask off here

well now I’m sad we’re not getting that

"A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

The Lesser-Known History of African-American Cowboys One in four cowboys was black. So why aren’t they more present in popular culture?

White ranchers originally tried to use enslaved people to tend their cattle before the invention of barbed wire. But after the Civil War, they hired skilled, free, Black cowboys. It was Bill Pickett, formerly enslaved, who invented bulldogging.

so glad @sickoscommittee.org had this ready to go

A tweet from @kmartmicroceleb on 9 July 2025 that reads “died as he lived: mid-season firing”

What is disappointing is that I'm 100% sure that Horner is gone because of Verstappen and not because he sexually harassed an employee to the point that she started having panic attacks. #formula1 #f1

The Lost Stuffy Project is trying to reunite kids who've survived unimaginable disasters with their lost stuffed buddies and I love it so much. 💖😭

Feline Feces (lib catturd) @kitttenn.bsky.social M dashes (the long dash) are a dead giveaway. LLMs love using them for some reason, while actual human beings have no idea how to type that into the computer. They also love sets of three, overtly parallel structure, and impersonal writing.

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD.

Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

Major League Baseball should celebrate the anniversary of Larry Doby’s 1947 debut, which integrated the American League. His path was hardly an easy one.

every damn year
