Phoenix Call: baseball player or Robert Ludlum novel

This is Satire by None More Black

Political reporters like to pretend they are of a higher order than sports reporters but they’re not. Every sports fan recognizes the “empty the notebook” hit piece on a guy leaving the team. They rarely have the guts to do it when it matters.

Feels like one that might come back to bite us!

i’m here you fuckaas bitch

*motioning my grandchildren closer to the bed so I can see them with my failing eyes* if you're at a bowling alley and they don't have a grilled cheese sandwich made with Kraft American singles and wonder bread for 2.50, you walk the fuck out *flatlines, grandchildren promise they will*

All airlines are shitty. But Southwest Airlines, for a time, was the least shitty, and I liked it for that. Then, private equity ruined it, like it ruins everything else. My column for @chron.com: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Tarik Skubal just threw as good of a game as you're ever going to see. His start against Cleveland: 9 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 13 K 94 pitches, 72 strikes Final pitch: 102.6 mph, the hardest of his career 26 swings and misses First CG of his career

I clicked on this assuming it was going to be a misread or a worm burner or most likely both but no this is just the hardest hit homer probably ever

Everyone in Montreal is a 10

I'm at a burger joint in Montreal, no one here except me and the two Indian dudes behind the counter, and they're playing shaboozey

Pope Leo spotted on the 2005 World Series broadcast

I first interviewed Alan Moore in 2009, and one of the things he said then has reverberated in my head louder and louder over the last ten years. He was reading the entrails of the 20th century long before the shit hit the fan.

new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

if a white sox fan with a direct connection to god can't kill jerry reinsdorf, religion is 100% confirmed fake

it's cool that the best possible outcome now, where these thugs and looters lose power forever and the ship gets righted as best as anyone can manage, is that all of our national data systems will have a years-long mini dark age

Click through to learn that the amount of federal money going to make educational public broadcasting is not quite "Anthony Santander money."

This story explains a LOT of things: ChatGPT appears to be rooting on sociopathic mental illness by validating every delusion of grandeur. It also explains, in part, the hype cycle around AI: rich people, addicted to praise, invented a Compliment Machine. www.garbageday.email/p/this-is-wh...

“Take and eat; this is my body.” - The Ueckarist

I feel like there are disproportionately more banger songs about Nebraska than any other recognition of Nebraska in pop culture

God damnit this is cute

we need to start making some things socially unacceptable again, maybe if we start small we can work our way back up. it is unacceptable to throw litter. absolutely no exceptions whatsoever. unacceptable

Just one more treat will fix me

"I'm so glad Mrs Rachel seems to have good politics" is not a thought I should need to have, and yet

[THREAD] all 25 Slate concept trucks and their descriptions from slate.auto: 1] THE BLANK SLATE “It's a Slate. A radically simple electric pickup truck that can change into whatever you need it to be – even an SUV. Made in the USA at a price that’s actually affordable (no really, for real).”

this is a truck that it tailored precisely to every aspect i want in a car (other than no stereo) and it’s beautiful and i want one so that means it will probably flop

This is really cool

a well funded korean-cajun culinary exchange program would, in its own way, be as or more beneficial to humanity than kennedy's moon shot

The Oscar-winning documentary, No Other Land, is available to rent and screen at nootherland.com from now until May 9. All of the proceeds will support the Masafer Yatta communities featured in the documentary.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

my longest held belief is that if you’re nearing your middle ages you need to get into a semi-social hobby or creative project quickly otherwise you are more susceptible to rightwing radicalization brain rot content

PC game called 7th guest. That shit was scary as hell

if we replaced the entire Democratic Party with about 40 people who have ever had a real job we would have a better shot at keeping the right wing from destroying the country
