But, if I'm talking about present day... Definitely, Ohtani, Yamamoto, Freeman, Betts, Will Smith, Muncy, Kike Hernandez, Miggy Rojas...

Todd Helton, Troy Tulowitzki, Matt Holiday, Ubaldo Jiménez, DJ LeMahieu, Nolan Aranado... Who'm I missing...? (If you know, you know.)

Studies have not conclusively ruled out that there are monsters lurking behind you right now. Don't see them? That's cause they're behind you. Watch out!

Use libreoffice. It'll produce .docx or whatever files without all the maddening bullshit.

President Piggy! He's finally revealed his name!

tRump, Not My President, Orange Turd... A decade of this porcine piece of shit rooting through our political lives, and nothing would quite do, but now we have it.

President Piggy!

We tried choosing such leaders and it never went well. We chose the Shah, Pinochet, Sese Seko... Very bad track record. Ahmed al-Sharaa has risen to power organically in Syria, and we should support him, and wish him and Syria all the best. If it fails, bummer, but we should hope it succeeds./2

Ok, lefties, my friends, my compadres, listen up: welcoming Syria back into the family of nations--a family that doesn't currently include, eg, Russia and Iran--is good. It's very good. Forget that Rump is in this picture. We on the left should welcome it. And we don't get to choose their leader./1

YES!!! WTSF???

YES, YES, YES!!!

(Also, another shout out to the nyt photo editors.)

No kidding! Political malpractice! Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Don't say he "believes." He doesn't believe anything. He's a quivering sack of id. He says words. He needs, he craves, he fears; he doesn't believe.

Also, The Oppermanns by Lion Feutchwanger which has been recently re-released by McNally Editions. I read it recently and it's amazing!
