are there any bands that make you kind of instantly think that someone who likes them is probably pretty cool?

Reminds me of a GM that got to trade away Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle to kick off a rebuild and now gets to helm another rebuild while both those guys now get traded elsewhere at the deadline from other rebuilders.

Trading Adley (not that it is a bad move pending return) should get you fired for fucking up the Orioles rebuild this bad.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

my taek on the Tarik Skubal trade is that the Reds neither had the wiling payroll nor the prospects to pull it off and rather than that being an MLB problem, that’s a Cincinnati problem

No pay for Mr. Gray!

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

if the reds or rockies said they fixed a pitcher by giving him a bigger glove everyone would go "that's insane nonsense" but when the dodgers do it i just nod along like yeah sure of course

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

when people ask me why I hate AI one of my go-to responses is that it's going to make all music sound like the fucking Chainsmokers

Stereogum@stereogum.com · last wk.

"Closer," the Chainsmokers' smash collaboration with Halsey, was released 10 years ago today. It topped the Hot 100 for three straight months, so at the end of 2016 we asked Charli about the dynamic duo.

Folks, it is officially time to go outside and pray for the trade deadline to release us from this sweet, merciful disaster.

Jose Franco exited with right elbow discomfort in the 7th inning. He signaled to the dugout after a pitch to Petey Halpin with 2 outs. Franco isn't eligible for the big league IL because he is the 27th man. A similar situation happened to Cody Reed as the 26th man in 2019.

I ordered some chicken curry last night from a restaurant that exclusively uses DoorDash for its online ordering system. I went to pick it up - not delivery - and still got hit with a $5.49 'service charge' on a $17 dish (before tip). DoorDash can kiss my entire ass.

Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle.bsky.social · 2w ago

In a statement, DoorDash tells me that the council passed the "arbitrary" new fee without holding any hearings. "We have always supported home rule for D.C.," says the company. "But will continue to defend D.C.'s small businesses, local economy, and underserved residents."

The true purpose of AI is to allow wealth to have access to skill while simultaneously removing the ability for skill to access wealth.

a real, live thunderstorm just dumped rain on my house for the first time since Piero Strozzi fended off the French and Cosimo de' Medici and saved the Republic of Siena at the battle of Pontedera and I'm jumping around like a 5 year old on christmas morning who'd had three beers

seeing a lot of squirrel discourse from my baseball folk so allow me a hot minute to remember some #grit
