In today's newsletter I talk about Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw showing up to speak at the White Supremacist-Palooza in Arizona over the weekend.

Short version: he's dumb and naive and I feel sorry for him but he's made his bed too, so fuck that guy. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
Matt Shaw has no idea what he's made himself a part of As I mentioned last week, Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw was a featured speaker at the objectively grotesque Turning Point USA "AmericaFest" conference in Arizona over the weekend. He gave a roughly 20-minute speech at the event. If you're so inclined, you can watch it here. For what it's worth, Shaw comes off like a bog standard young evangelical person. You could take his entire speech – focusing on "the amount of love Jesus has in his heart," what embracing Jesus did for him and his baseball career, and quotes directly from The Sermon on the Mount – and put it in the mouth of any youth pastor or testimonial speaker at any number of churches within a mile or two of your house. Shaw spent a particularly large amount of time on the "love your enemy" portion of that, imploring those who were listening to him to engage positively and constructively with those with whom they disagree. Which is not exactly something that Shaw's fellow AmericaFest speakers seem all that keen on. That list includes JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, Megyn Kelly, Jesse Watters, Jack Posobeic, and many others who have dedicated their lives toward legally and politically persecuting anyone who disagrees with them, often in the most vile and hateful of terms. That also includes TPUSA's founder/martyr, Charlie Kirk, whom Shaw claims was the embodiment of the "love your enemy" ethos despite the fact that his organization was specifically created to ruin the lives and careers of those whose views Kirk disliked. I understand that being an evangelical fascist requires an extreme lack of self-awareness and a forced cognitive dissonance, but something like 95% of Shaw's fellow speakers over the weekend absolutely abhor their enemies, want to see them suffer, and have said so publicly countless times in both word and deed. I actually feel sorry for Shaw. I feel sorry for him because while I don't have any reason to doubt his religious sincerity, he pretty clearly doesn't understand just how divorced what he was saying is from the actual ethos of those to whom he was speaking. These people do not believe any part of the Sermon on the Mount. Indeed, their very example stands in direct opposition to it. They're pretty clearly using Shaw. He's a pleasant and handsome young man with a profile – major league professional athlete – which serves their purposes well. And he seems far, far too dim to truly understand any of it. Not that that absolves him. We are, as I often say, what we do, and what Shaw has done speaks pretty poorly of him. Sure, a solid majority of major league baseball players share Shaw's politics to some degree or another, but he's the only one I know of who has publicly aligned himself with a truly vile organization like Turning Point USA and the truly vile people with whom he shared a green room over the weekend. He's the only one who missed an actual game last season to attend the right-wing political rally that was thinly disguised as Charlie Kirk's funeral. The absolute best thing you can say about Shaw is that his judgment is poor. If, however, my assessment here is wrong and he truly believes the things that the Vances, Trumps, Carlsons, Bannons, Kellys, Watters, and Posobeics of the world believe, he can take a flying fuck at a rolling donut for all I care.

Every time someone mentions Refused I have to spend 30 minutes watching clips of crowds going absolutely apeshit at the "can I scream" when New Noise kicks in.

New Stranger Things is pretty good, I just feel bad for all these young actors who have to spend time with Brett Gelman.

Remember when Kate McKinnon dressed up as HRC and sang "Hallelujah" on SNL? Just an unbelievably dark cultural low point that no one should have survived.

The most upsetting feeling is how good you feel after a couple days of not eating trash food.

Shohei Ohtani is clearly the best baseball player ever, and he's fun to watch, but on a baseball level I can't relate to Dodgers fans. Kind of like how I can't relate to people who grew up with a second fridge in their garage.

Disc golf but you've got plastic bat and a bag of plastic baseballs. Just toss it up and smack it down the green.
