The Dodgers told me Yesavage keeps striking out their batters so I asked how many batters they have and they said they just go to the dugout and get a new batter afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding batters to Yesavage and then Jason Bateman started crying.

Horrible but true. Just had to do it for someone I detest.
been getting yelled at about this for a long time but i learned decades ago as a union lawyer that being in a union means standing up for and/or alongside some scumbags from time to time
A big conceit of internet leftism is that your comrades all look like you and think like you and are all your friends, when in reality any successful antifascist movement requires both the internet leftist and the radicalized right winger who suspects their politics aren’t tenable anymore

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Air Canada’s CEO gave striking flight attendants more reason to defy a government order to go back to work.
On BNN Bloomberg, CEO Michael Rousseau says the company didn’t make provisions for passengers with cancelled flights because it assumed government would enforce Section 107 to end the strike.

Ann Patchett is an excellent writer and storyteller whose liberal humanism and Catholicism make any kind of structural understanding of the world difficult. I still love her work books.
Here’s a question: who is the artist with politics you disagree strongly with, whose politics *do* (in your view) influence their art, that you still think is talented and whose work you enjoy?
