The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
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.

Curious how this goes. A Brewers-style approach would certainly fit in Kauffman. But a lot of the failed hitters of the past few years (e.g. Melendez) are pull fly ball guys. Plus Vinnie and Garcia finally figured things out this year. Probably part of an improvement, but not instant broad fix?
After four seasons as the #Brewers' hitting coach, Connor Dawson takes on the same role on the #Royals' staff:

Crazy out of shape and feeling meh because I've been eating like shit for a while. Finally ready to change that and will try an approach I am calling not eating like shit.

Not only that, but many of them have access to discounts when purchasing food that a lot of us don’t. Cash goes further. If you want to feel a more personal connection, though, volunteer! Lots of food banks need extra hands, to distribute food or to sort and shelve incoming donations.
Did not know that food banks don't pay sales tax, so their dollar can stretch more!! Cash donate to your local food bank!!
SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack.
But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.
The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.
They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

@srbrown70.bsky.social I'm confused by Stuff+ on Grant Taylor's player page. Table shows FC as -1.8 StuffPro, but image has it at +1.5. Image pitch counts seem pretty low, maybe that's only a subset? (As starter only?)

Quite the disparity in Grant Taylor's Stuff+ between Eno's metric (touch below average) and bot and BPro models (excellent to amazing).
Fastball scored as predictable by BPro, maybe throw more cutters?
