Invented the term “Fri-Yay”. Solid dude. #BBN #Cubs
What a dumb article. To paraphrase another baseball writer- it’s not Haves v. Have Nots it’s the Wants v Want Nots. Too many MLB owners dont really want to win, so they cry poor and too many fans believe them.
Lexington Herald-Leader@kentucky.com · yesterdayA labor impasse between MLB and its players over a proposed salary cap threatens the 2027 season. But fans of low-spending teams like the Miami Marlins should be for MLB’s proposal.
Save the date, #BBN. We are so excited to meet you! 🗓️ Saturday, August 15 📍 Nutter Field House ⏳ More details coming soon
Who is “Son-John Johnson,” the mysterious guest vocalist on Phoebe Bridgers’ new album? He sure sounds a lot like Geese’s Cameron Winter. “I’ll have to contact my lawyer,” Winter tells Rolling Stone with a laugh. Read: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
the fake news media doesnt want to say he was outdueled by javier assad
The #Cubs made moves today that are the kind of moves you make when you think your team is good enough to win it all. These are the moves you make when you want to win. Kudos to Jed and the front office.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Cubs get Kevin Gausman. I'm unsure if this ruins baseball or if that only applies to rhe Dodgers. #Cubs
These guys won’t stand up for the daughter of a Republican US Senator and they’ll never stand up for your daughter. But they will send some goon to inspect her crotch.

Cheryl Reeve, winningest coach in WNBA history, defends transgender athletes against sports bans. “Exclusion is never the answer. Separate isn’t equal. Trans lives matter.” 💗🏳️⚧️💗🏀💗
Spider-Man: Brand New Day was GREAT! The whole #FarisFam went to see it this afternoon and it was met with universal approval.
It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
Yesterday your daughter got a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller to stop him from harassing her lawyer—after accusing him of abusing her and your 2-year-old granddaughter. But rather than condemn him, you’re on a press tour harassing an 85-year-old scientist. Shameless.

Pope Leo received singer and songwriter Patti Smith in private audience this morning. The Pope and Smith are both Chicago natives. She was accompanied by @antoniospadaro.bsky.social, undersecretary for the Vatican's Dicastery for Culture and Education.
Trump 2 has shown that the bulk of federal, state, and local "law enforcement" don't perform any useful functions at all. If they did, it would not be so easy to re-task them to brainless gestapo work like rounding up whole neighborhoods and waiting outside public buildings.
Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · last wk.I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
LRT “talk to some literal actual trans folks” is not BAD advice for journalism but “hire some literal actual trans journalists” is better
Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · last wk.i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice
If the centrist Democrats saying the party is doomed if it nominates lefty candidates could point to their own political achievements, they’d have a much stronger case to make. The latest at my newsletter: paulwaldman.substack.com/p/why-the-de...

If this is a battle for the party's soul, the side that has no constituency isn't going to win.

Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.
