A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Staying at some B&B’s this week that serve you a full sit-down, made to order breakfast. And thinking how bizarre it is that a AirBnB is a collection of properties where the LACK of breakfast and other amenities is a selling point. I guess they’re heavy on the “air” part.

twitter is a fucking unbelievable cesspit. after all the crying about bias, all the twitter files, if you go over there you would be convinced that LA is now The Thunderdome and that newsom has changed his name to The Humongous and is battling to keep trumps Plissken-led liberation forces at bay

The Rockies are bad, the worst roster in MLB. Yes worse than the White Sox. But 9-47 is really something. Has anyone ever had a 56-game stretch that bad since the Spiders. Will have to check what the White Sox did last year.

Cybertrucks are piling up -- apparently no one wants to buy them -- but they can't stop making them, b/c shutting the factory down is too expensive. Great work all around.

Sunday morning baseball thoughts. It’s still early. We’re only in April for gosh sakes. I’m not concluding that a player or team is great or sucks from that. We’ve already played 1/6 of the season and that’s not a trivial sample size, though a smallish one, and we can have strong hunches.

Here’s a thing I wrote in 2016 on the 30th anniversary of Bob Horner’s “four homers and a loss” game. Maybe I’ll write something on Eugenio Suarez in 30 years. www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/...

Anyone know what’s up with Tanner Scott this year? He walks a lot of guys, like 12-15% of batters. This year he hasn’t walked any of the 48 batters he’s faced. K’s are down from 30% to 23%. @mollyknight.bsky.social did the Dodgers change him?

MLB Mix in showing 8 East coast games in the 3rd inning, none of them are scoreless. Starting pitching may be dying.

If reports of Vlad Guerrero Jr’s contract are accurate — $500M and no deferrals, it instantly becomes the worst contract in MLB. You’re basically betting on 55 WAR for the remainder of his career which would push him over 70 career and make him a slam dunk Hall of Famer.

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

12 HR in 3 games in Sacramento. It’s small sample size but I feel like the ball is going to fly out of there, especially to RF and especially when it warms up.

I think I’m officially old. I instantly recognize all the celebrities over 50 in the Super Bowl commercials (Crystal, Ryan, Ford, the Levy dad) and none of the actors and celebrities under 40.

QBs tend to get MVP when their team wins the Super Bowl, and Hurts has had a fine game. But the MVP is the Eagles defense and they really should pick someone from that group. I think the pick six is the play of the game.

I didn’t think they were that bad except for the seal/Seal one. But they’ve gone downhill since this tweet. IIRC, Rocket is a home mortgage company but not sure from that ad.

I love that teams are going for it often enough on 4th and short that’s it’s not an obvious fake to draw the defense offside.

Since it is a football day and those who know me IRL expect me to have a view. I’m pretty comfortable that the Chiefs are the better team. You don’t go 15-1 in the NFL without being REALLY good. That said the Eagles have about as good a chance to win as any underdog in recent years, probably 45%.

Question for my baseball fan followers, which is most of you: with pitchers and catchers reporting this week, why do we call it SPRING training when it mostly happens in winter? By the time spring arrives, teams will be packing up to head north (or east or west) and wrapping time in AZ and FL.

Three things I’m certain of. 1. The Alonso deal is an overpay, especially when you consider luxury tax and more. 2. If he hits 35 dongs, Mets fans won’t care because most fans aren’t into analytics and economics of baseball. 3. He almost certainly shouldn’t opt out and almost certainly will.
