The vibe on the Plaza was a bit different today than back in June. Much more…patriotic. More American flags. More “we’re going to reclaim our country from these fascists.” And a lot more inflatables. It was probably 2x as large as the last one. Proud of my city.
This. We are in dark times, but I find joy in these protests. My people massively turned out today in Kansas City. Resolute. Steadfast. We will not let these fuckers win.
notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Trump clocks in at 37%-61% in new AP-NORC poll. It’s the worst poll of his rancid 2nd term. Happy No Kings Day!
Later, traitors!

If you are faculty, alumni, staff, student, or a student's parent at any of these places, you have an unusual chance to influence the future right now by communicating with your administration clearly about what's at stake.
“White House officials have invited Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Kansas and Arizona State University to a Friday meeting” along with the University of Arizona, University of Texas, Dartmouth, and Vanderbilt!
Exclusive: The Trump administration is reaching out to more universities about its funding-advantage proposal after several early invitees rejected it.
Calling that a GIDP is going to make me angry all winter long.
Contreras knew what was up the entire time. Amazing.
Joe Davis carving up a turkey. It’s not John Smoltz.
I cannot tell you how happy I am to watch this. I need the full seven games.
Blue Jays. Mariners. The battle for 1977 expansion supremacy.
I really need a Mariners/Brewers World Series. And I need the Brewers to change their name to the Pilots and then all the games can be played in Seattle. I NEED THIS.
“Largely” had his back? Dickerson is a legend who had a genuine moment after a 15 inning marathon. I love listening to him call Tigers games. Top tier broadcaster.
After calling 15 innings that ended the Tigers’ season, radio voice Dan Dickerson accidentally let his frustration slip into swearing on a hot mic.

He apologized the next day, and fans largely had his back.

Former Royal Gabe Speier you say?
In addition to his third base coaching in KC(He should’ve sent Gordon! He sent Cain!), Jirsh was the manager in Omaha when Joe Randa was called up in 1995 & when Jac Caglianone was called up in 2025. Quite the baseball life.
Sending our congratulations to World Series Champion Mike Jirschele, and wishing him the best in retirement!

We'll miss you, Jirsch!
Oh my god that was an absolutely brutal way to end that series.
Brewers/Cubs on the TV, Phillies/Dodgers on the ipad and streaming the Phillies broadcast on my phone. Synced to the ipad, naturally. I am 21st century baseball man.
So every Cubs/Brewers game starts with the home team putting up a crooked number in the first? Noted.
Of course Wrigley Field is all about day baseball, but the place just looks magical under the lights. I really need to get up there to see a night game next year.
