Skubal's departure from the Detroit Tigers gives more credence to El-Sayed's arguments that we are living in a corporate oligarchy. Then again, also gives credence to Stevens' argument that Michigan is being victimized by coastal elites.
Molly Knight@mollyknight.bsky.social · 4d agoThis was a prospect trade situation, not a highest $$$$ situation. Other teams like the brewers could have beaten the dodgers’ offer and gone all in on trying to win this year with Miz and Skubal but chose not to.
Congratulations if you bought Tesla stock 4 years ago today! Your shares have gone up by one dollar.
I called a guy in academia for my Michigan senate story. The guy said 'We've already met.' I said I didn't remember. '1984, you were the captain of the Flint Powers Catholic High School quiz bowl team. I was on Lapeer West. You smoked us.' I tried to play it cool like that happens all the time.
Sometimes, in my quiet moments, I read a longform piece and I think 'Surely, something funny, something human must have happened during all your reporting!' And then I sigh to myself and crack open another Vernors.
Seneca Falls was brought up on the Michigan Senate campaign trail today. Nobody was ready for it. @rephaleystevens.bsky.social @abdulelsayed.bsky.social

I've told them a 1000 times, @hamptoninn.bsky.social flag on top but they don't listen to their Diamond Rewards members,
Back in Michigan where everyone drives like they are on meth and seeing two different people wearing t-shirts that say 'Ohio' in open defiance of state law.
I may die if I go to another Trump rally. Five is too many. Just do a Zoom memorial service for me using the free option that times out after 30 minutes. Play My Life Is Good by Randy Newman and I'm good.
Heading to Mich to cover the primary between @rephaleystevens.bsky.social/@abdulelsayed.bsky.social for @rollingstone.com. I’m parachuting in, but Flint native. Anyway, hit me up w/takes, people I should talk to. Haven’t been in MI in a while. Ok, 6 days ago when I crashed a go-kart in Grand Haven.

6-4 England over France. NOW that is a World Cup game!
Summer league action, Mavericks and Grizzlies combine for 33 fouls in two 10-minute quarters and also choose to exercise two first quarter challenges. Time was going backwards. We had to get out of there and feel the reality of 103 degree heat.
Sometime later Getting the words wrong Wasting the meaning And losing the rhyme Nauseous adrenaline Breaking up a dogfight Like a deer in the headlights Frozen in real time I'm losing my mind www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5o5...

After watching with rapt attention but no rooting interest, I am now desperately rooting for Norway. We know what that means.

The Trouble With Harry Jay Katz
Harry Jay Katz's act is wearing thin. Philadelphia's aging libertine is facing lawsuits, accusations and bankruptcy. Still, the party must go on.
