From cleats to outreach, Griffey carries on Jackie's legacy
Some revolutions are big from the very start. When Jackie Robinson signed on the dotted line at Branch Rickey’s office on Montague Street in Brooklyn on August 28, 1945, there was no going back. It wa...

Today marked 21 years (!) at my job, and I always try to do something to honor the great Jackie Robinson on this day. I’m so honored to have been able to discuss his legacy (and cleats) with Ken Griffey Jr., a hero of mine as a kid. #Jackie42 www.mlb.com/news/ken-gri...
Are the Epstein Files in a truck or something?
The U.S. Transportation Department is threatening to shut down thousands of truck driving schools, part of the Trump administration's widening crackdown on industry.

We need an opposition party to take power and root out all these little monsters posthaste. I mean, look at this. We need this cretin making relatively important decisions for the CDC?

I did not know there were 5 of these. I didn’t even know there were 3, honestly. But based on this poster, I definitely want to watch this film.
Weirdness/levity moment: My awesome cousin, Martin Kitrosser, directed & co-wrote the movie Silent Night, Deadly Night 5 in 1991. I've never seen it (way too scary for me), but I was just looking at the movie poster & noticed that it includes a hilariously menacing looking Raggedy Andy doll.

Devin Williams is still nasty. I was like 85-90 percent sure the Mets would get him and I’m pleased with it.
Highest strikeout rate in second half, min 25 IP:
Mason Miller: 51.1%
Devin Williams: 39.3%
Jeremiah Estrada: 38.4%
Andrew Kittredge: 38.3%
Edwin Diaz: 38.1%

Yeah. That’s exactly right. Make these guys vote on whatever you can, put them on record and then put them on blast.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Nick Fuentes should be all 10 nominees. Maybe save one spot for Tucker Carlson.
the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

I envision scooping some up for pennies on the dollar and creating the world’s finest year-round haunted attractions.
Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

I mean, something very similar worked for Michael Jordan, and his mantra made even less sense. (UNC won the title that year!)

Survivor Series ‘91 was one of my all time favorite wrestling events. My parents let me order it and invite a friend over as a reward for a good first report card in seventh grade — and I NEVER got to do stuff like that. I lived like a king that night, regardless of the mid quality of the PPV.
Hulk Hogan faces his Gravest Challenge against the undefeated (no) Undertaker in the first-ever Survivor Series to feature anything other than a Survivor Series match, but don't worry! There's lots of half-hearted Survivor Series matches, too!

I hope this big fella, who stood up on a front row chair while double fisting drinks in order to get into the hard cam shot, is still kickin in the Detroit area and that he has enjoyed Dan Campbell's tenure as Lions head coach

Everyone should ask Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday who is responsible for this sort of messaging on the official channel for the Department of Homeland Security.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Legit, I thought Jessica Simpson was still with Nick Lachey. Shows what I know. She was married to this other guy for a decade!

💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

This is arguably the best scene in the history of cinema. We watch Addams Family Values every year around Halloween, but maybe we should mix it in during Thanksgiving too!
Definitely have to share one of the most iconic Thanksgiving Day reenactments today. Grab those cardigans and highballs and enjoy! 🦃 🍁 🪶🔥🍽️

Macys parade has been amazing this year.
They said "Up Next, Shaggy" and Scout expected to see her idol, Scooby Doo.
Tbf, none of us expected, as my daughter said, "the *actual* Shaggy."

Agreed, it’s awesome. I liked Lil Jon performing “Turn Down For What” in front of a float for Toys R Us, which I wasn’t aware was still an entity.
gotta say, this year’s parade is really evoking the bonkers celeb/IP pairings of my youth, Foreigner singing “Cold as Ice” with a demogorgon being but one example

Amped for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade as usual. I live for weird nonsense like an 8-inch float dedicated to Goldfish crackers. #macysparade
