California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

Publishing obituaries from the grave—when you really want to get the last word.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Nice little 🧵 on how actually kind of impossible it is for umps to "just call balls and strikes" based on the MLB rulebook and the new challenge system being introduced next year.
Considering how monumentally consequential balls/strikes can be to baseball games, it's amazing they make this so hard.

If I asked Joe Baseball Fan what the strike zone is they'd say something like:
1. a floating rectangle
2. the top is at the letters of the jersey
3. the bottom is at the knees
literally none of those are correct per the MLB rulebook!

🤬 Stealing money from students. Lining their pockets with public education funds. And they complain about teachers’ unions.

So the Ford appointed supervisors will make more than all School Board Trustees combined, and that money will come out of the education budget that’s supposed to go to student needs. Shame! globalnews.ca/news/1151063... #topoli #onpoli #onted

It's easy to say and hard to do, but the real lesson of these Jays is the highest level of ambition and commitment to this team will be rewarded with the biggest market in baseball. The Jays - and Rogers - should aim to become Dodgers north. www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...
Bruce Arthur: The Blue Jays can be the biggest team in baseball and go for it every year. Will Rogers step up?
Toronto’s ownership has spent money on the team in recent years, but this run was a first-hand reminder of what true ambition looks like, along with the results to match.

If I’m a Dodgers fan, the win last night ought to feel more like relief, not triumph. “Yay, they did the thing everyone expected thanks almost entirely due to the domination of a single pitcher.”

I was thinking the same thing.
Did they win the World Series? No.
But they didn’t lose. Dodgers won based on two (of four) extra-inning wins, both of which could have gone either way.
If LA didn’t have Yamamoto, things would have been much different.
Jays are still champions.

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.
