This business will get out of control, and we'll be lucky to live through it.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has hit four home runs this postseason.

That ties a Blue Jays record set by José Bautista in 2015.

An incredible amount of people continue to insist that anybody who votes Democrat is somehow more dangerous and more revanchist than people who actively voted for Donald Trump and I legitimately do not understand it.

I do not understand the absolutely categorical rejection of the No Kings marches by leftist posters on this website. "They don't have a real goal!" may be broadly true but also that seems like an opportunity?!

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

I thought about it for a second right after the season ended but I think 22m is too much money, especially for the Yankees to spend on a setup man.

Alejandro Kirk is, unfortunately right now, what peak performance looks like.

I will forever associate Alejandro Kirk with this incredible doodle @hausofdecline.bsky.social made specifically for the episode art of her @battingaround.bsky.social appearance

It's gone from "Why is Kirby still in?" to "Well, might as well let him keep going and save the pen..."

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

It’s kind of incredible how badly every conservative in the city is filling their diaper with rage about Zohran over anything and everything. People struggling to get into a trendy restaurant? In New York? Must be communism!

in 1971 they could only dream of forcing horror upon horror into the mind of one victim at a time. modern social media correctly assessed that the answer to "do you want to see the worst 500 things we can find today" is almost always yes. but it's fine and this has had no consequences for anyone

My second favorite is when it takes 20 minutes to load and I'm not sure if the process has hung or what.

By far my favorite constantly recurring bug in Borderlands 4 is how when playing alone in singleplayer mode, the game will somehow de-synchronize from itself and only load like 25% of any given area, and also despawn all of my guns.
