More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ.

For all this he received death-threats throughout his life.

Thinking about this wolf shirt kid in high school who would always read fantasy books on the bus. One day someone asked him why he read so much instead of making friends, and without looking up said “when the mind slows, the blade follows”

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

it's hard to put together a coherent professional sports league based around serial killer nicknames. mainly because it seeds way too many franchises in Ohio

And there is the “grooming a minor who later died by suicide “ thing
Roger Clemens has a reasonable claim as the greatest pitcher of all time. Alas, his legacy is clouded by suspicions that he used PEDs.

@jayjaffe.bsky.social digs The Rocket’s career and explains why this might be his last chance to get into Cooperstown:
2026 Contemporary Baseball Era Committee Candidate: Roger Clemens
As with Barry Bonds, the Rocket’s stratospheric statistics and achievements have been overshadowed by his links to PEDs.

maybe given the current political situation, finding things about which to say “the president has a point” is not only not a good look but actively bad and fucked up? Maybe maybe resist the impulse to say “well I agree with this chump” and find something else to talk about instead?

160 years ago, the 13th Amendment was ratified, ending slavery. But that amendment came with a sinister loophole: a Slavery Clause that allowed for slavery “as punishment for crime.”

We need to pass @repnikema.bsky.social’s and my Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException once and for all!

I have one of Dan Haren's high socks because I was twitter mutuals with some Angels clubbies who got me his autograph and they thought it would be funny to deliver it to my thirsty ass in a high sock
What is the most "obscure" piece of sports memorabilia that you own? Why do you have it?

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms

you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization
Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

To hear you speak about the things that excite you is a privilege I will not willingly cede.
You don’t think it’s rude that I just go on about things?
Oh, of course. It’s terribly bad manners. But that has never stopped me loving you for it. And I do love you, by the way.
