Bonus: Finally met @pulhitzherprize.bsky.social (and @buckweaver.bsky.social) in real life!
Spent the day in Orland Park talking with the Chicago Salmon vintage base ball club. Highlight: a crack of the bat followed by a crow from the rooster in the petting zoo.

Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito said he's getting messages from disgruntled bettors "after every game." So he took his concerns straight to the commissioner: www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/r...

Have to keep pushing this, Medill grades are on the line (but seriously, I'm actually interested in this story, so please reach out!)
Hey!

If you enjoy college sports outside of the big two (basketball and football) and/or regularly go to or have gone to a college championship tournament, I want to talk to you for a piece I'm working on! Whether it's baseball, softball, tennis, soccer, gymnastics, track, XC--send me a message!

Look the JK Rowling thing is pretty cut and dry she is still personally being directly enriched by consumption of Harry Potter and then using those riches to actively participate in a campaign against trans people

This ain't a case of a problematic author, it's material support to terrorism

That new White Sox City Connect is not trash.

That's about all I can say.

Does anyone know who the dude is who always has the dazzled suits and platform shoes courtside at Sky games is? I'm working on something.

I am finding myself unprepared, in a positive way, for the concept of Based Liberal Jumbo Elliott. Everything is on the table now. Bumping into Bart Oates at a DSA committee meeting. Prairie Populist Gary Reasons. All of it.
This photo tells you everything you need to know about the cable news ecosystem in the United States.

It is the perfect distillation of the moment.

That Jumbo Elliott, by the way, is the former tackle for the New York Giants.

This is the scene from Vice where Cheney makes the joke about eating a danish then they snatch dude off the street. It's time to shut this shit down.
I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

MLB and the White Sox should be paying his bills, but he shouldn’t even have those bills bc no one should have medical debt like this; it shouldn’t exist.
God this is horrible.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

He's actually doing it. Consolidating all payments under the Tsy.

Not to toot my own horn too much, but this is exactly what my paper is trying to address and oppose.

We need a strong digital fisc vision to counter this.

Updating my chart of March Madness wins and losses for both brackets, and found something wild.

The 2024 Women's Tourney had just one upset in the first round (#11 Middle Tennessee over Louisville). The average number of first-round upsets in the women's bracket since 2008 is just about 5.5.

Washington Post is reporting that the US Gov't program to send free COVID tests to households will be shut down tonight, and the remaining tests destroyed. If you haven't already ordered yours in the latest batch (autumn 2024's) it's super quick & easy, price $0.00

JB, fronting a hardcore band from '91 doing a spoken intro before the kick-in on "Out of Control":
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Good: Around the Horn just discussed the Connecticut Sun denying Marina Mabrey's trade request!

Bad: It felt like everyone except David Dennis Jr. was not prepared to talk about that segment. Everybody except him phrased it from the context of "well I cover the NFL, and..."

"Second-most expensive ticket in women's college basketball ever." Once again, please stop using this as a judgement of success. 'Look how much the ticket touts are making off these games now!' is not a good thing.
