Used to write about baseball a little bit. Far too invested in the Dodgers and Lakers.

The curse of great wealth is that slowly your money comes to own you, not vice versa. California's billionaires are demonstrating this to everyone.

a rather significant portion of the founding was based on “no guys like Donald Trump in particular”

they really specifically wanted to avoid this type of know-nothing demagogue
people will say the framers never could have predicted this, but that's not true at all, they absolutely *did* expect someone like trump, they thought congress would *stop* him, and they thought they made that clear

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

What is the point of having a sprawling national security state if they can’t find out who did a mass shooting in broad daylight five days ago?

When the issue was forgiving student loans, there was a lot of grumbling from the older generations about it, about how they had done it the hard way (even though costs were much lower then) and the Kids Today should too.

But when it comes to Kids Today doing the actual work? Meh, they don't care.
Absolutely staggering to consider the deadweight loss that AI has caused educators in terms of burdening them by making cheating easier, and how little our society's elites care
Across the country, a small but growing number of educators are experimenting with oral exams to circumvent the temptations presented by powerful artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

Rewatching the 11th:

- Incredible swing by Vlad on his lead off double. Elite stuff right there.

- Yoshi fielded the IKF bunt PERFECTLY, and there was no margin for error.

- Ending it with Mookie making such a smooth play at SS felt so satisfying having watched his evolution at the position year.

“Pages says I’m the captain now” was an incredible line from Joe Davis on that game saving catch.
