How the Philliesβ $100 million marriage with Nick Castellanos ended in divorce (Gift Article)
When the Phillies ate $20 million on Thursday and released Castellanos, it was an admission that the relationship was irrevocably broken.
As a long time @tigers.bsky.social fan, I watched as his potential came to fruition. I looked forward to it. But I also saw how his ego meant more than team play, which is evident with so many pro athletes, and it has led so many young players to emulate (and become) cocky assholes.

The lack of originality on the part of Hollywood executives is breathtaking. James Garner was a special dramatic actor who possessed great comedic skills. He had a great supporting cast. The best episode of this "reboot" won't be able to hold a candle to the worst episode of the original series.

Within days of Trump appointing an unqualified campaign donor as Secretary of the Navy? Isn't that somewhat poetic?

Yep... it's been over forty years since I lived there, but my only real complaint about it is its sprawl. People were way too eager to move out of the city. My memories are of a bustling downtown with several movie theatres and department stores. And sad to say, the East Side looks almost war torn.

Once it was clear what she was going to do after Jayapal's turn, they should have used their time to lambaste her. Letting her speak served zero purpose. The cult will only see FOX's narrative of her owning the libs.

She did for a brief moment, then turned back to spew her bile at Jayapal.

I was thinking this might be all a show for the cult in a run-up for the Republican primaries for 2028. The whack-off-to-Melania crowd will eat this up if she runs against Vance.
IF there's a 2028, that is.

So why don't those who are considering buying it hire the reporters, buy the hardware and maybe the building and call the newspaper/operation the Post-Post-Gazette?

She completely understands the rules and has chosen to not follow them, because neither rules nor laws mean anything to her or her mob boss.

Ultimately, there is only one reason that Bondi is appearing before this committee. It's to provide video/sound bytes for FOX of her proudly aggressive belligerence.
