speaking of that fascist idiot K. Noem, why is her hateful violent spiel being advertised on Z100 in NY?

well it's purpose isn't to be right, though that's what they're selling you.

I have, but to be fair it was some sort of blogger outreach thing and he was in an ice cream truck.

I took a fastball off my thumb warming up a 12 yo softball pitcher two weeks ago and it still hurts.

You almost don't need to see anything else, if Fox News is jumping to attack her she's got my vote.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 2d

Fox News is eating this up.

Have you ever seen anyone torch their own governor chances as fast as Katie Porter did last week?

Google searches for “Katie Porter interview” are up 10,000% and her odds of becoming the next California governor just cratered from 40% to under 16%.

people still think MSG is bad so I don't think "AI" stuff is really more than a symptom. Different tool, same problem.

Nothing excuses terrible behavior, but the social compact goes both ways and a lot of times it seems like the schools have very little concern for the parents doing drop-off/pick-up.

Nor do towns in re: garbage/leaf pickup, landscapers, construction plans..

add in security theater..

Patrick Wyman @patrickwyman.bsky.social · 7d

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

Given the Mets love of signing Yankee cast-offs, this worries me.

Ken Rosenthal @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social · 6d

Sometimes, you just lose. On the Yankees, Cashman and Boone. www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

The Yankees need to make some changes, but Cashman and Boone shouldn’t be among them

For the Yankees, getting eliminated by the Blue Jays was dispiriting, but not a disgrace.

Fox announcers, as the Yankees are on the verge of losing the series 3-1, "give the Yankees credit for being more well rounded this year"

What

the worst uniform in professional sports you mean.

It's like the whole league is in stunning vibrant color and somehow they're still black and white.

Does he have 63 too...

Razzball @razzball.bsky.social · 7d

Fan wearing a "Dump Here" jersey with 61 caught Cal's HR 🔥

Immediately changes into an identical 62 jersey

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 7d

It's a tie game 3, with the blue jays up 2-0 in the series and these announcers are all like "the Yankees can win this series"

Sean Manaea got the win, Edwin Díaz the save. Game 2, #mets win.

The Dodgers have scored at least 4 runs in 13 consecutive postseason games

That’s tied with the 1970-71 Orioles for the longest such streak in postseason history

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 10d

exaggeration, but if there weren't so many investigative journalisms just aggregating press releases people wouldn't turn to content creators that had done two google searches and read a first-hand Instagram account showing the press release is not true.

alyssa mercante @alyssamerc.bsky.social · 10d

Reactionary content creators think they’re the new investigative journalists.

Investigation tools they use
- Twitter rumors from blue check anon accounts
- ChatGPT
- psychosis

flames are okay. microphones? THE HORROR.

Matt Gelb @mattgelb.bsky.social · 11d

Phillies are currently testing something new -- flames shooting from the top of the batter's eye. If they accidentally set the ivy that covers the batter's eye on fire, that would be a show.

terrible reason, but yeah maybe.

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 11d

Glad the Mets are changing coaches but imo the manager should've gone too. Even if you like him I can't see what special value he has that would override starting fresh with a whole new crew?

I suspect there are some front office staff that need to go too, too much disconnect.

I can confirm "Up Up Up and out of bed" to the tune of Golden does not, in fact, get them out of bed though.
