It would be amazing if the Angels brought Mozeliak in off the street a month ago, had him trade like seven guys, and then replaced him after the season. Like even by Angels standards that would be interesting to me. Also, re: "by Angels standards" it's not clear to me it's worse than status quo.
J.P. Hoornstra@jphoornstra.bsky.social · 2d agoJohn Mozeliak was asked if he wants to stay with the Angels in a permanent role. “It’s been fun. In terms of what I want to do, I don’t know the answer to that yet.” Mike Trout wasn’t going anywhere at the deadline so Mo said he invited Trout into the Angels’ “trade room.”
This is the perfect headline for ok magazine because I can’t have any reaction other than “ok”

Mamdani literally said what liberal Zionists say to defend Israel and now they are abandoning the position? C'mon this is just Islamophobia www.jta.org/2026/07/31/i...

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
