Today, as Gaza continues to be stuck in a bloody limbo, we are turning our website over to Gaza and its people in an initiative we are calling “A Day for Gaza.” There will be no pieces published on our website today that do not come directly from Gaza.

something I really appreciate about Marc's work on baseball labor is how heavily he leans on history/what actually happened in discussing things like the salary cap. That perhaps sounds like something obvious, but every single time I read about *what owners actually did* in 1994, it's drops my jaw
As promised, my latest at @baseballprospectus.com is my reaction to some owners saying they're definitely going to push for a salary cap now in the wake of the Kyle Tucker deal

Excellent article on how we got here and on the state of the world.
Let’s be clear. Although it is the Trump White House that has launched this attack on Venezuela and apparently kidnapped its president, these actions are the result of an ongoing bipartisan assault on Venezuela.

They are exploiting our dead. They are tying this tragedy to their own nationalist project for personal gain. They are relentless in their message that standing for Palestinian existence in the face of annihilation makes you party to this atrocity, which is an obscene lie.
Don’t Listen to the Ghouls Exploiting the Tragedy of Bondi Beach
The dead have one use to these people: They exist to justify Israel’s conquest of Gaza and the Palestinian blood that now will surely be shed. Facts be damned.
