What do you say to those who claim you’re not American?

I understand it’s confusing to encounter an American who can speak two different languages.

Going to be weird to go from hating the Blue Jays this much to rooting for them in the WS. Vlad Jr. helps a lot though.

Jorge Polanco with the 15th walk-off hit in a winner-take-all game in postseason history

17th walk-off win in a winner-take-all game overall

INCREDIBLY … the only other ALDS winner-take-all walk-off win?

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Told my non-baseball-fan friend that Tarik Skubal was pitching tonight and she said, "That sounds like a made up Star Wars name."

The raid swept up 475 people, most of them South Korean citizens, agents said.

No Hyundai employees were arrested, the carmaker said. LG Energy Solution, the battery manufacturer, said 47 of its employees were detained.

A majority of the arrested South Korean workers were not direct employees of Hyundai or LG but were subcontractors, according to industry officials familiar with the project. The LG employees arrested were helping oversee the factory’s construction, and had arrived in the United States with visas or under a visa waiver program, the officials said.

Steven Schrank, a special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations for Georgia, said during a news conference that some U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents were also detained in the raid and would be released.

Still trying to understand the Hyundai ICE raid. Supposedly a months-long investigation that... picked up people here on visas, permanent residents, and U.S. citizens?

I also haven't seen anyone charged under 8 USC §1324a for hiring undocumented employees.

🤔

Freedom to cause offense without being jailed or sued is a thing.

Freedom to cause offense without being criticized, shunned, and despised is not. The very concept is incoherent.

I am also happy because neither Harmonies nor Wingspan allowed you to do bad things to competing players. My wife carries a grudge. We were playing a game — don’t remember which one — and I took a coffee-producing city before she could and she still talks about it. The game was in 1996.
