He can reiterate that Little’s been one of their best pitchers all he wants, that doesn’t make it true.
Or his decision any less mind bogglingly stupid

If you put your best available pitchers in and get beat, that’s the way it goes, you did all you could.
If you lose with your best available pitchers sitting on the bench watching, that’s inexcusably stupid

If you lose with your best players out there, that’s how it goes.
If you lose with your best guys sitting on the bench, that’s just unforgivably stupid

I disagree, this is totally on Schneider. Little didn’t put himself in instead of Dominguez

I’m sure even Brendan Little thought it was a bad idea to put Brendan Little in to face Raleigh

I mean, why bring in your top two relievers to pitch the final two innings of a must win game?
Unbelievable…

So after Israel agreed to allow 600 truckloads of humanitarian aid per day into Gaza, the bare minimum aid agencies say is required to keep famine from spreading, they are already reducing that to 300 per day

Israel keeps Gaza border crossing closed while reducing aid deliveries

The ceasefire on Wednesday was largely holding, although Hamas described Israeli attacks in Gaza as violations of the agreement.

Yes, why can’t trans people just learn to live with those who want to see them erased from society?

Such a great, although heartbreaking, article you link to. Ppl need to hear from the youth & their families who are actually affected by this instead of the bigots Smith is trying to appeal to.
These are just kids trying to live a life like any other, kids that Smith is happy to sacrifice

Without Trump’s idiocy there would be no boycott of American products, no decline in Canadian tourists visiting the US.
All this is squarely on Trump and framing it any differently is ridiculous

Boy, this person has so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!
The tyrannical despot Justin Trudeau has been removed, the unjust Tax has been Axed, all their dreams have been realized!
I’m sure they now live in a utopia of freedom and affordability, totally happy, with no complaints whatsoever!

This, 100%
Look, I know a lot of people loved Harry Potter, but surely when you see the money from that franchise is being used by a bigot to actively make the lives of some of the most marginalized people in society worse, you can stop supporting it.
If not, you’re helping fund hate

Jess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 9d

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Even if all these claims that Carney calling Trump “transformative” is some genius, next level burn were true, Trump & his supporters don’t operate on that level. All they see is a world leader praising Trump, tacitly endorsing his actions; they see proof that what Trump is doing is right.

Honestly, I’m not really much of an NFL fan, but maybe I’ll have to tune in now and then to catch some of these “demonic sexual performances” that they obviously have regularly.

“Keep my head down” & “hit both sides” Just as the best among us always have. Who can forget Churchill’s stirring words
“We shall look the other way on the seas. We shall keep our heads down on the beaches. We shall not look for any trouble on the landing grounds. We shall never criticize the Nazis”

For all those echoing the “terrorism by the left has hit a 30 year high”; no it hasn’t
www.peoplesline.org/p/the-left-t...

The "left terrorism hits 30-year high" headlines are a lie

A new study has the media inaccurately reporting on a statistical fluctuation in left-wing terrorism.

These are difficult times, and I don’t pretend to know what the answers are, but I do know we should always remember these inspiring words:
“Peaches come from a can. They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown”
Indeed.

Why do so many ppl think Joe Rogan is a genius?
He quotes this study all the time, yet he’s obviously:
A) Never read it
Or
B) Doesn’t understand it says the opposite of what he thinks it does
Either way, that’s not genius.
