when you're ready to sock dingers off a quality lefty

find someone who loves you the way John Smoltz loves mediocre pitcher velocity

It's extraordinary how brutal police are willing to be, the lengths to which they are willing to go, the internal solidarity they are willing to show, in order to deliver to U.S. citizens—the protection of whom is their ostensible jobs—the clear message, "we are at war with you."

I get it although part of the problem is we’re not exactly in this golden age of television comedy where there are all these extremely deserving sitcoms being overlooked

the 8 is because it is the closest thing to the infinity symbol ♾️ which Rodgers requested and the league denied. the infinity symbol is a sign of silent alliance within “the community” that you are one of The Watchers, who are vigilant of the 12 Secret Signs that foretell the New World Order.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

I miss going to the office

Jacob deGrom, who I don’t think anyone would have seriously argued against being the riskiest SP in the top 15 ADP coming into 2025, is on pace for 175 innings

what if the ending of Atlas Shrugged but worse somehow

“his name, his name is Muskmelon?” Saturday phone conversations with mom

there are not here to protect and serve us

in a bizarre and unintended way The Family Circus is the comic strip that reflects our times (a zombie recycling stale ideas as a cash cow for a legacy benefiting off his father’s original idea while almost no one notices or cares)

These people are nuts. Also, this line made me think of this very solid stand up bit I saw. youtu.be/nu6C2KL_S9o?...

it’s the second inning it’s way too early to go off on a Bazooka Joe comics tangent

"Don't murder Greta Thunberg and half a dozen other people in cold blood with US made weapons" gets a whopping 11 signatures in the House

May 21 was the last time Aaron Judge ended the day with a .400+ AVG. He’s hitting .378 since May 22

why are all of these men coming out of the Knicks locker room so tall? It must be because of the physical properties of the Knicks locker room, that’s the only explanation that makes sense

this has pretty much stopped me from going to the movies (an experience I used to love) and I know I’m not alone.

I’ll never forget being at a hotel bar in Grand Rapids, Michigan and this “old” guy (lol, like my age now) was talking up this woman who very clearly wasn’t interested but he couldn’t take the hint. It was so painful to listen to.

A whole government made up of reckless, stupid, blustering guys who tell weird lies constantly and then have to do Uncut Gems Behaviors to try to make them seem true after the fact. Not what you want!

My “sleeping with 14-17 year old girls does not make you a pedophile” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

I feel so terrible for all the women who Cuomo harassed. Everyone complicit in minimizing their pain, and helping to rehabilitate this man should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Over & over we see that journalists will prize their access over women’s safety. And it’s disgraceful.

I could do a whole thread of these but Alan Trammell (and Lou Whitaker) on Magnum P.I. Is great

Don't BE DISTRACTED they scream at regular people. DISTRACTED FROM WHAT, SENATOR? What's the CONCRETE PLAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS OFFERED TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LOSING THEIR HEALTHCARE?

A hearty thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day yesterday to scold people laughing at Elon Musk and Donald Trump. You’re right, making fun of them won’t solve anything. On the other hand, scolding people who are making fun of them almost certainly will.

I have no interest in the NBA Finals but I love seeing people losing their shit over the Pacers so go Pacers I guess

The NYT's continued war on trans kids and families is particularly heinous right now because they're targeting a group who can not speak up without endangering themselves. It's watching a minority group hide and flee for their lives while running a 6-part series about how the other side has a point.

I’d like to thank Lucy for introducing me to Neil Breen and Cade the tortured crossing.

I should feel great about this season series no matter how this game ends (winning 4 out of 7 against a great team like the Dodgers is awesome) but of course I’m going to feel miserable about this the rest of the night because I’m an idiot

I cannot stop wheezing

nature is healing (I am of course referring to the New York Mets)
