From the: LAD-SFG game: Clayton Kershaw is almost guaranteed to be a 1st-ballot Hall of Famer. There are only 5 1st-ballot HOF pitchers & pitched their entire careers for 1 team: Walter Johnson, Bob Feller, Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Jim Palmer. #baseball #dodgers #sportsfacts #la #random #hof

A serious question to reporters and those who follow these things: How normal is it for an FBI Director to directly thank the White House/President and VP during a news conference? That didn't seem normal at all. @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social @weissmann.substack.com #fbi #newsconference #kashpatel

Well, that is one of the more fun sports stories in a while. Marlins catcher, Brian Navarreto, whose last at bat was in front of no one in 2020, kept grinding in the minors, was called up recently, got an at bat with his team down 8. And he goes yard. #baseball #marlins #greatstories

@maryltrump.bsky.social Come talk about your uncle. What is it about him--his self-esteem, self-worth--that he needs fawning praise & desires a Nobel Prize to fill something empty? Is it only Obama, who in his mind, embarrassed him? Would he have run if the jokes are the dinner had never happened.

Who else is still upset, as an adult, to know that the first little piggy didn't go to market to shop? In retrospect, once we learned the power of articles, we should have asked why the piggy didn't go to THE market, right? #childhood #adulthood #innocence #lossofinnocence #nurseryrhymes #sadness

I really really respect @jenpsaki.msnbc.com, but there are times that I think she needs to develop her own style and not channel @maddow.msnbc.com. It's not always and it's certainly a symbol of respect, but it does stick out when she's not herself.

New rule: any time @kenjennings.bsky.social mentions something about a @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social champion reaching a feat, "Our current champion is one of only 15 others to..." He must add, "Including me."

I know I'm not the only one, but I wish @senwhitehouse.bsky.social had been the right age, at the right time, in the right situation to run for President. I mean the slogans write themselves. "Put Whitehouse in the White House." It's too good. Alas. #politicaldreams #elections #whitehouse

A cool new thing debuts with #StarWars #TheAcolyte #Wayseeker. From now on, the copyright page of our books will list the book team. The team of incredible people who are (along with the author) the most essential part of making a book happen. No group is more deserving

Abrego Garcia & MS-13. What do we know?
The allegation seems to stem from double hearsay in a document authored by a later suspended detective.

I really need an explanation of what the Economic Boycott is supposed to accomplish. I will happily not buy from any national corporations. But I think a day of zero revenue for my local bookstore, my local Thai restaurant, my local dollar store, could quite likely cripple their entire month.

“A Long December” is the greatest holiday song. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year’s — it applies to all of them and more.
Not my idea, but I agree.

Maybe Democrats Didn’t Do So Badly After All
The party’s debate about reinventing itself after the election has gotten more complicated.

My current knitting🧶 WIP is this beauty, but it's definitely for the masochistic sort. Each i-cord needs to be picked up. The 1st was 200 stitches. The next is 250. My partner is doing the same pattern & has figured out how to carry the main color, but it's too complicated for me. I rather pick up.
