Citi Field celebrates Pride Night and the Mets forget how to play baseball. Trump starts World War III by bombing Iran and the Mets suddenly remember how to play again. Interesting.

My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians Literally thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

There should be forced away sections for Mets fans at Citizens Bank Park. We paid good money for our seats but we’re surrounded by Mets fans so it’s a little hard to enjoy them.

Congratulations to everyone who insisted Trump was at least better on the Middle East than Kamala on being once again proven to be complete fucking morons. By the way if you reply to this saying I’m “blaming the left” for her loss you are also a moron.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

If it takes all of this to eek out a "win" for Cuomo, then the establishment Dems should be extremely concerned about future elections. A lot of people are done with the Democratic party.

One of the funnier running subplots of the Trump era is that he hasn't won a Nobel Peace Prize, and it really eats at him.

It's actually incredibly useful that Trump is palpably jealous of Obama's Nobel Peace Prize and desperately wants one himself.

It’s rare to see a team’s philosophy and personnel aligned so perfect, but LAFC have done it. They’ve spent the past 3 years slowly getting rid of all their creative midfielders, and now they play like a team that doesn’t have any creative midfielders. Cherundolo’s vision almost completely realized

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

Humor is a valid and effective political tool. Encouraging an opponent who lives and dies by public opinion to follow through on his threats is not necessarily the best use of it.
