People listing their favorite teams again. /takes a deep breath/ ok here we go: I watch mlb but don’t have any favorite teams. I just watch whatever game seems good, has players I like, and I root for no one. I don’t care who wins it loses (seriously). I love chaos, and ✨might be good at jinxing✨
Hello to all the new people. 👋

People will have a lot to say bc they always do. But I'll just post this picture of the time Kyle Hendricks saw a dog and asked if he could hold it. And the dog owner said sure and asked if she could take a picture and then this happened.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

We could see the pitcher rigging a bet by deliberately throwing a ball and the batter rigging a bet by swinging and missing and the ump rigging a bet by missing a call and the manager rigging a bet by getting thrown out in the first inning

Another reason I'd never bet on baseball. You never know what is going to happen.

I want to reiterate that gambling addiction is incredibly destructive and if you're trying to apply logic to it you likely won't find it. Addictions are irrational. Saying “I don't get why someone would do this” is applying non-addict thinking and it won't help you understand.

Oh look that thing that we all said would happen has happened
Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

Musk used Grok to animate Sydney Sweeney to make her say “you are so cringe.”
