When dissing the Dodgers payroll please try to avoid romanticizing the indentured servitude of young athletes.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I LOVE LA!!!

I do blame MLB and the Astros and I’m not sure why one of their star players should be exempt from my ire. He knew it was wrong and stayed silent while he benefited.

And yes, even if he didn’t actively participate he benefited as their teammate and had a duty to speak out as it happened.

They do this while getting dirty, dangerous cars off their street - improving their immediate air quality, and providing shade and safety for anybody who wants to walk around the walls of their own home.

Great work Paris!!!

Each of these residents that traded their car in for a bike are now saving hundreds in monthly payments, insurance, registration, much less likely to suffer or inflict a grievous injury, and are benefitting from increased exercise, sunlight, and socialization.

There are tens of millions of immigrants running around raping our women, murdering our cops, and voting in elections (citation needed).

Therefore it is totally reasonable to put them all in camps where we can do whatever we want to the democracy defiling murderer-rapists!

Land isn’t really property the way something that is created is property. Land ownership is a suite of privileges and obligations between the landowner and the state. Discounting taxes over time does not happen in a vacuum, it raises land prices.

Prop 13 is NOT and never has been a tax cut.

The cost of the Astros 2017 Championship is to be persistent and eternal pariahs, treated scornfully even in situations when it is usually unacceptable to do so. Don’t judge the sports world for this - I guarantee you if it was any other Blue Jay the crowds would not have cheered.

Blame MLB.

George Springer perpetrated a fraud against the sport. MLBs failure to punish them guaranteed that his professional colleagues and fans across the sport would take punishment into their own hands, as a certain % of people will do when they feel the system has failed.

Gentle parenting masterclass.

I’m sure a significant subject of their podcast can request both the transcript and the recording if they reach out to Crooked Media.

It’s happening!!!

Dodgers in five.

I do think the DOJ has massively overreacted, based on my early impressions of this story.

If these three were paid for their participation, they probably do have criminal liability. If they texted a friend who texted a group chat, that’s an internal NBA matter, not a criminal story.

Again, long ways to go in this story, but I’m worried the media is following the traditional gambling narrative that applied to scandals like Rose and Donaghy. Even if the DOJ can’t prove a big scheme, this is essentially fraud. They should get treated like an embezzler or a scammer.

They’re targeting players for what are stupid but ultimately flippant texts to friends. I’m worried this should be a Civil Matter (Sportsbooks vs Players), and an internal NBA matter, I’m not sure I trust the DOJs motivations for arresting these black athletes.

Agreed 100%

I’m also concerned that the laws on the books regarding fixed gambling are way too harsh to govern these crimes. Obviously we will learn more as the DOJ presents its case but this huge investigation and prosecution seems to be over $7M.

I am happy that the @sanfranciscogiants.bsky.social will get a chance to see what a actual dynasty looks like this week.

I didn’t realize that Doug Ford was a resistance hero lol.

I support it go Mr. Ford make Trump miserable!

Whelp Chris, want to go monitor the monitors?

The author this piece pretty explicitly admits that they did it for money.

Would you or the authors be willing to share the prompts they used for the records requests?

I’d love to do a similar analysis in my hometown but am nervous to spend too much time and energy doing so just to get denied by the PD.

As a fan of online games this is one of the least surprising stories ever. Finding a good group of friends who aren’t a gaggle of slur slinging bullies is a big challenge.

That political pressure threatened to put Israel on an actual island as a rogue state, without even the US as friends.

They can’t survive without us, so they ended their genocide early, to ensure their survival.

Thank you to pro-Palestinian MAGAs for making this possible!

I see some libs giving Trump credit for Gaza, and that’s fair.

However I think the main reason Trump felt it necessary to pressure Netanyahu was due to a shift in public opinion as Republicans, especially young Republicans, have begun to turn against Israel en masse.

How did Lux not score on that error by Hernandez? #Dodgers #Reds #Baseball

Confirmed doing some heavy, heavy work in this figure.

I remain convinced there were unreported deaths in ICE/BP facilities in 2020.

It is a very old wall and that is very cool, I do agree with that!

Glad to see my eternal confusion with Hadrian as a Top 5 Roman Emperor being validated in that last one. The dude’s decision sparked 2000 years of hate and violence how do people waive that away like it’s nothing?

Sorry, kinda off topic, but I haven’t seen that before from a neo nazi.

What’s weird isn’t that the shooting is a bigger deal, what’s weird is that in this political environment influencers at his level have more power and influence and are a bigger deal than most individual state legislators. Kirk was probably more powerful than many Congressman tbh
