call me too woke or whatever but, journalistic ethics aside (a big aside), i feel bad for whatever happened in Ol*via N*zzi's childhood that she became developmentally stuck on deriving her worth from old men

Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:
Mo’ne Davis Is Finally Ready to Play Baseball Again
More than a decade after becoming a Little League sensation at age 13, Mo’ne Davis is set to make more history as the face of the Women’s Pro Baseball League.

Does this lore help or hurt Andy Pettitte's Hall of Fame case
I remember being 12 years old and totally scandalized by the rumors that he got caught with a mistress and that's why he had to sign with Houston in 2004. Good times.

for what it's worth (nothing) if I were a BBWAA writer this year I would vote for Beltran, A. Jones, A-Rod, Manny, Pettitte, Rollins. Maybe Utley.
this year's Hall of Fame ballot is so weak that if I were a voting writer I would throw borderline/noncandidates like Andy Pettitte and Jimmy Rollins "you were that guy" votes and would still not come close to having 10 on my ballot

To everybody reacting to Eric Adams' "I served Israel" comment as if he's really revealing a deep inner working of the world, I have one question:
Is this your first time ever hearing Eric Adams speak?

The U.S. Mint won’t produce pennies anymore, but they won’t vanish overnight.
They remain legal tender, and there could be close to 300 billion of them in circulation, Treasurer Brandon Beach said.

So long, penny. The Treasury has officially stopped producing one-cent coins.
The U.S. Mint struck its final run of one-cent coins Wednesday, ending almost 230 years of near-continuous penny production.

Elle Bisgaard-Church was one year ahead of me at Swarthmore, fun fact
Dean Fuleihan, who Mamdani has picked as first deputy mayor, held the same role under de Blasio and was the one who wrangled the money out of Albany that made universal pre-K possible gothamist.com/news/mayor-e...

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

Literally the one place in the country where Democrats got their clock cleaned was in the home county of state chair who refused to endorse Mamdani and has generally overseen a string very poor democratic performances.
