Eating a sundae with a long spoon is the height of decadence. The longer the spoon the more decadent it is. Ideally you shouldn't even be in the same room as the sundae

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.
The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...
Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help.
Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

Good article! Steamer projects 2025 Volpe for the best offensive season of his career, taking the leap to combine his 2024 K% with his 2023 BB%. I am
Skeptical for the same reasons as Matt
Me on Anthony Volpe, who I find to be a fascinating player for lots of reasons.

Devin Williams has a chance to be an all-time great
February 15, 1999: The Reds lifted their no facial hair policy after 32 years. New acquisition Greg Vaughn threatened to file a grievance and fans supported him. The team was thrilled.

"There are some ugly people without facial hair," [Dmitri] Young said, rubbing his goatee. "And I'm one of them."

Alex Rodriguez is , by the numbers, one of the I dunno 12 best players in baseball history.

Andy Pettitte is 29th in Yankees history in ERA+.

Both took steroids, and both are receiving roughly the same number of votes for the Hall of Fame. This is stupid.

It’s pretty ridiculous that Juan Soto only has five suitors. He’s one of the greatest free agents this league will ever have.

“This extremely rich man who is very good at one thing has managed to surround himself with yes men and is utterly convinced that his skills make him good at every other thing. Also, now that he’s rich, he cares a lot about taxes.” It’s just so weird - we’ve never seen anything like it before!

Kind of surprising for a two pitch guy. I wonder if teams want to bring back his abandoned curveball

One thing that became so very clear during the Astros scandal is that a vast amount of MLB reporters are there to tell you which cheating you should really care about and which you shouldn't.
That’s it, that’s the entire case. It is fucking stupid that Carlos Beltran has more support than Alex Rodriguez
