August 11, 1968 - The Atlanta Braves signed famed Negro League pitcher Satchel Paige to a contract. At the time, Paige was in his 60s, but the Braves took the action so Paige could qualify for a Major League Baseball pension.

These comparisons are ludicrous. Yes, the president's constant companion does look a lot like the daughter he said he wanted to date, but she's almost a decade younger and ... Wait, wait, I'll come in again.

The reason the White House is so sensitive about Trump and his relationship with Natalie Harp is because, well . . . because it's a bit awkward

For me, this is one of the most powerful Calvin and Hobbes strips.

Just heard back from the producers. They’ll take out a couple of jump scares but replace them with a poorly timed sex scene, such as pivotal monologue but with two dudes humping in the background. Best they can do on short notice.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

I haven’t done this in a few years, but due to budget cuts I wasn’t able to order any new supplies for my classroom, so I am sharing my Amazon wishlist. I teach in a self-contained ID classroom for kids with severe disabilities. Even just sharing this would mean a lot to me. Thanks!

I am begging literally anyone who isn’t trans themselves to understand that “Juwanna Mann” was not a fucking documentary

Hey @malwarebytes.com, just got a code notification for an account for which I didn't register. No biggie, whatever. In the email, you state: "If you keep getting this request, consider changing your email password" I'm curious - what EXACTLY do you think that will fix? I'd like to know, please!

I will say that during this year's primary, my primary criteria for candidates was OUTSPOKEN, EXPLICIT support for trans rights, the trans community, and trans people in general. It's a no-brainer, and NOT stating it out loud is leaving room for questions. People are not negotiable. End.

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

Either you're a weird freak about the most vulnerable among us or youre an empty soulless husk willing to hand over said vulnerable people to said freaks if you think it'll get you 1% more votes from the South Hitlersville district and either way you are not to be trusted in a democracy, full stop.

I was pulling photos from Getty Images today and this one took my breath away for a second. "Plain clothed federal agents pursue a man through the lobby of the Hennepin County Government Center before tackling and arresting him Tuesday, February 10, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minn."

WATCH: A heroic protester calls Trump a PEDOPHILE PROTECTOR during his desperate FAKE NEWS rally — causing him shout in an attempt to drown him out. Way more people & press should be calling this corrupt child rapist out.

Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:

Exclusive: Political operative behind Graham Platner's rise accused of sexual assault

A spokesperson for Daniel Moraff said: “Any suggestion that he committed a criminal offence is false and without foundation."

so I just want to emphasize something here that non-media people might not pick up on: Marisa is an independent journalist and is taking on the risk of being sued by Moraff here without any institutional backing. That's admirable bravery - and also means being very, very certain of the facts.
