I think the real answer is just for people to be considerate! Too much to ask in 2026 (though certainly the tall people I see shows with are).

Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

Welcome to the PCA Show Cubs fan favorite Pete Crow-Armstrong is one of baseball’s most exciting young talents — and his own biggest critic.

Kinda warmed my heart to see Pete Crow-Armstrong do an old-school city magazine profile and photo shoot. Story by ex-ESPNer Wayne Drehs. Also, both his parents were on "Heroes." www.chicagomag.com/chicago-maga...

everyone at the sports bar is clowning on the shot of USA fans in Houston doing the "angels waving arms" move from Angels In The Outfield, implying the country that invented baseball needs divine Biblical intervention to beat a team with a pitcher who *retired 7 years ago to become a farmer*

I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military

Some of the stuff that Fox is advertising during baseball makes TruTV look like HBO.

Former Phillies pitcher Phillippe Aumont left baseball to become a farmer. Now he’s back on the mound. Aumont shaped a new identity as a farmer in his hometown of Quebec. But the 37-year-old is returning to baseball with Team Canada for the WBC with a chance to face his old team in a tuneup.

Phillippe Aumont's been working that trimmer & razor (this was a great story) www.inquirer.com/phillies/phi...

A woman in a light purple wig sits in passenger seat of zamboni, holding a banner which states "no ICE, no more, no kings, no fear" in same font and colors as Minnesota Frost team iconography.

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings

No Fear.

Feels like we are getting closer to a deal ac
Latest league proposal
張品
Just so you have on background- no attribution to me or the league.. here are some updates •WNBA latest proposal includes:
• A salary cap of $6.2M, up from $1.5M in 2025 - a more than 4x increase.
• An average salary starting at $570K in year one and growing to $850K
in year six - a significant bump for middle tier players.
• Max salaries exceeding $1.3M growing to nearly $2M.

SCREAMING at Holly Rowe leaving the sourcing in her tweet and revealing it came from the league. Holly’s never been a journalist but this is fully amateur hour from a long-time member of the media.

It already has functionally not existed for almost a year (and now is not World Cafe Live). Now the legal processes just have to play out. The sad part is it was probably not saveable to begin with (but certainly not by this ownership). A fresh start for space probably best.

Screenshot of social media post by World Stage that reads: New name, same vision. Welcome to The World Stage. Graphic that includes text reading:

WORLD CAFE LIVE EST. 2004
IS NOW WORLD STAGE Graphic with text reading: We are entering an exciting new era. In Philadelphia's 250th Year* we are all on the World Stage: March Madness, FIFA, PGA Tour, MLB All Star & more. We have decided to fully embrace this notion and will continue to bring the world to Philadelphia & our stage for 2026 & beyond.

(*Philadelphia was founded in 1682 and turns 344 in 2026; the city was incorporated in 1701, so even using that date, this is off by 75 years.)

And then the venue announces it is now known as World Stage. But they do it in a way that completely tracks with ownership's incompetence and ignorance by declaring it is Philadelphia's 250th year. In fact, Philly — founded in 1682 — turns 344 this year.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's always interesting, when people talk about SXSW, to figure out which one they actually miss! (Also true of Austin.)

If the show takes place in St. Louis or Milwaukee, it falls under Midwest Excellence's coverage area. I don't make the rules.

OK technically I do, I'm the only one here. Never mind.
