The Dodgers are funded in part by ICE. Never forget that.

Dodger ownership (Mark Walter) has a private equity stake in ICE facilities, and tonight their club’s fans are being hunted and targeted by a militarized police force (including ICE troops) that they benefit from financially.

One of the things not mentioned much is that he was one of the athletes who did those deals where they sold a portion of their future earnings like a stock if they made it to mlb.
Must have been feeling pressure with agent fees, this agreement, income taxes, etc. got away with it for 2 years!

One pilot in Canada took to the skies for a #RemembranceDay tribute. Dimitri Neonakis has a history of special sky art in Canada, most recently a flight path supporting the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. See www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraf... for playback of this flight and others.

New from 404 Media: people are 3D-printing whistles to warn each other about the presence of ICE. Some people make designs and upload them; others are given a design and are printing hundreds and hundreds of whistles at home. It's been effective in Chicago

The Latest Defense Against ICE: 3D-Printed Whistles
Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

what are you talking about? canonically James Bond is now 100 years old and has been played by six different people who don't look the same at all. Please give the audience a little credit.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

With more than 5,000 positive cases of measles, Canada lost its measles elimination status.
Why has Canada lost its measles-free status – and could the US be next?

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

Honestly as nothing as this post is it’s very very funny to me that Pete(’s intern) doesn’t know he can just copy and paste the same post to both sites and uses screenshots instead.

Even Chuck(‘s intern) doesn’t do that!!

Pretty rare for the first snowflakes in Toronto to turn into an actual accumulation, but it did today and we went out and played in it. @arteme12.bsky.social and I went to the zoo to cavort for a bit!
A display at the Toronto zoo featuring larger-than-life stand-ups of their two young Highland Cows, Blue and Jay. My wife is standing behind the cut-out of Blue. There’s a sign in front which reads “I 💚 HIGHLAND COWS” with the zoo logo in the middle of the green heart. There’s is quite an accumulation of fresh snow on the ground and more is visible falling in the shot.

MLB can’t clutch its pearls about Clase and Ortiz. The league made it possible by getting into bed with the bloodsucking leeches of the sports gambling industry. Kind of like going to a prostitute and being shocked that you came home with crabs.

More from Passan: “The 23-page indictment against Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz lays out the alleged scheme for the pitchers to intentionally throw balls so bettors could wager on pitches to be balls or strikes. It started, prosecutors say, as early as May 2023 with Clase and later included Ortiz.”

Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

Flying at 8000 feet today News Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

Here’s a screen cap of the post I was referring to.
Thai @thainamo.bsky.social • 35m According to analysts, baseball has the most disparity compared to the NBA, NFL and NHL, which all operate with salary caps. The Dodgers building a dynasty might change that narrative over the coming years, but it should be a testament to how well-run the org is rather than how much it spends.

Thai @thainamo.bsky.social Follow Another myopic sycophant fan cheering on the owners despite their lack of business sense and loyalty. Get your facts straight, fool. The Dodgers started the season behind the Mets in team salary. I believe they eventually moved to the top after the trade deadline. www.usatoday.com/story/sports…

1) posts a long thread about why small-market teams should spend more money to be competitive;

2) contradicts his own argument with this post about disparity in the four major sports.

Well done. Well done, indeed. 😂😂
