That bastion of hard-hitting journalism, People Magazine. (If People is doing better at this than major “news” sources like WP and NYT, something is very, very wrong.)
someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives
Watching (yet another) recap of game 7, and while they’re showing them get ready for the clubhouse celebration, Orel is talking about how everyone contributed. I realized how that’s so much more true than he intended. Let’s hear it for the clubbies who do so much behind the scenes.
And this is why I love BlueSky. Tons of leftist baseball lovers. I’m home here. ⚾️🧢
One of the greatest, most exciting World Series in history. It may not have been the most well-played, but you can’t deny the excitement and tension. Congratulations to the Jays for a fantastic season. Keep Bo and let’s run it back next year. #GoDodgers!!!
Really despise how much AI is shoved down our throats all day. Don’t people realize it’s just a new version of Clippy, the MS Office assistant from the ‘90s?
TrumpWorld: The guys building the house down the street are brown and may be undocumented. THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!

Also TrumpWorld: 40M people who depend on food stamps are going hungry because the GOP congress doesn’t want to work. No problem. Nothing to see here.
I love how every reaction video I see with Nelly and Mo in the radio booth has Nelly going bonkers while Mo is the essence of professionalism.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering
You know your fans travel well when you can hear their chants on tv. In Pittsburgh. #GoPackGo

Also, if you’re not following The Holler, you should be.

Oh, and #GoDodgers!
UPDATE: This ad just ran again during the World Series 🇨🇦

You know why? BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAKE.

Reagan said it. Trump is lying.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

From the team that brought you friendseverywhere.network, we are launching a new effort to Boycott Home Depot!

Please use the website boycotthomedepot.network and the toolkit at bit.ly/boycotthomed... to spread the word! Use one of the images and post on social media.
He (metaphorically) bombed the American people with shit. He’s literally tearing down the White House. He’s stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the American people. All in 3 days. Trump is clearly spelling out what he is and what he thinks about America.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.
Aside from whatever their record across the postseason over the past and next few seasons, the Dodgers will be remembered for some wild moments.

Respect to those who got here first.
How did the top two seeds in the leagues perform?
2022: 2-2 in the LDS, 4-3 overall, WS champs (Houston).
2023: 2-2 LDS, 4-3 overall, WS champs (Texas).
2024: 3-1 LDS, 6-3 overall, WS champs (LAD).
2025: 3-1 LDS, TBD on the rest.

Can we stop suggesting the bye is a disadvantage now?
The MLB playoffs went to the current 12 team format in 2022. The common discussion since then has been that the teams with a bye were largely disadvantaged by getting “rusty”. But is that right? Let’s take a look. 1/2.
WTF???
Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."
If - and that’s a massive IF - we have fair elections next year, it will be only because people of conscience across the political spectrum have stepped up to block Trump’s worst ambitions. Our last chance to avoid catastrophe is rapidly approaching.
