Detroiters: The Movie
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Sixth straight season that a Will Smith is a World Series champion. What a dynasty.

Thinking about which team would be most likely to have someone become part-owner and install themselves as manager for 50 years and, guess what, it’s still the Athletics
If the 33-year-old Blake Butera manages until he's 73 and wins 90 games on average every season, he will have 3600 wins, and 131 wins short of Connie Mack's all-time record

I strongly disagree on the idea that Platner passes the smell test. A lot of people have said they've caught a whiff of Fetterman on this guy and the Nazi tattoo was very much a moment of "ah, that's where the odor is coming from".

The intentional walk to Vlad Jr. in the 4th has me thinking that MLB needs to try disincentivizing that next. Make it two bases and it goes back to being a pure desperation move.
And I think Vlad Jr.’s K in the 5th shows why it’s a dumb move as-is. You rob yourself of momentum when you play scared.

A fun thing about the ALCS and NLCS this year is that you have one team that everyone in America is rooting for (the Mariners), one team that everyone in Canada is rooting for (the Blue Jays), and one team that everyone in Japan is rooting for (the Dodgers). Also, the Brewers are there.

The NL West has a collective run differential of -181 with four out of five teams on the positive side.
Actually, it's okay because the run differential cannot be found

They’re firing people for nuanced responses that politely get across the idea of “chat shit get banged” so my takeaway is that we can drop the pretense.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

If my life was in danger and I needed to choose someone to score a goal to save it, I’d go with Jansen Wilson because all he does when there’s a big moment is score bangers.
Jansen Wilson, have a night.
The Elizabethtown, Ky. native with a blistering finish from 25 yards out for his second goal of the night. @loucity.com is all over this. #LOUvCHS #USL-C

Generally, criticism feels more worth posting and will garner a lot more engagement than posts that are like “I think this thing is fine!”
With the Bananas specifically, it’s a reaction to the team’s universally positive reception & the insulting notion that baseball “isn’t fun” w/o these gimmicks.

Savannah Bananas are one of those things with a chasm between Twitter/BS opinion and real life.
They're selling out football stadiums, on ESPN and are huge on TikTok, but everyone on these texts sites seems to hate them.

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

He's stupid enough to think that he can actually upend the system when he'll most likely just siphon off Republican voters in whatever elections this party contests - which, since he's petty, will most likely be GOP-held Senate & House seats. So I'm not exactly in a hurry to discourage him.
