Sullivan has been increasingly difficult for me in his nascent “old-crank” era, but he may have hit the nail on the head with this one. andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/the-infant...

@talkingpointsmemo.com Screaming into the void over here. So I figured I’d also fire off a post while I’m at it. www.npr.org/2025/05/28/n...

WTF My psychological makeup somehow conflicts with my intellectual processes. I just can’t bring myself to truly appreciate that the US is being dismantled violently by idiots who proudly and actively refuse the value of knowledge, facts, and science. www.npr.org/2025/05/28/n...

@grantbrisbee.bsky.social I’d love to read a deep dive on Adames’ early-season struggles. Is he typically a slow starter? Are there concerning/heartening underlying metrics? And so forth. Thanks for the many years of great giants and baseball writing.

One month apart.

Traitors Australia Season 2: A pack of the dumbest dumdums, who were truly difficult to watch. Sam is entitled, chauvinist greedy and arrogant, and seeing him come away with nothing was an absolute treat! I’d feel bad for Blake, but if he had an ounce of courage, he could’ve had Sam out by day 5.

Thank you @sfgiants.com for beginning to show replays on the Jumbotron of good plays by both teams. Only showing Giants replays was a long standing pet peeve. And thanks to Buster for the excellent vibes at opening day.

Much love & maximum respect @booker.senate.gov

how many child cancer researchers were fired to pay for this?

FRIGGIN' WILD: In email obtained by TPM, White House claims that the Appointments Clause of the US constitution conflicts with Trump's "inherent authority" ... EXCLUSIVE: Trump Makes Aggressive New Claim of Executive Power To Circumvent The Senate  talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

@sfgiants.com I miss the refrigerator magnet calendar giveaway. Go Giants.

1938 in Munich. Chamberlain and allies capitulate to a dictator invading central European nations, failing to forestall a wider war. 2025 in Munich. Hegseth & Vance’s opening bid EXcludes our ally but INcludes everything today’s expansionist dictator might have demanded. Reagan spins grave.

@pgourevitch.bsky.social Dems have historically failed to aggressively take credit for their programs that benefit everyday Americans. Are they at least out here publicly assigning blame for the ways Trump/Musk are harming folks? How? Thanks. For example: www.sfgate.com/california/a...

A poll on X. Where all the snowflake groypers can make their thoughts heard in a safe space. Democracy has some work to do.

@mikeduncan.bsky.social Dear Mike, I just listened to Episode 179 “The End”. Thank you for 79hrs of entertainment and knowledge. Thank you also for the insight! At this point in US history (economic disparity, environmental instability, xenophobia, etc.), your epilogue felt exceedingly trenchant.

“Ignites Online Speculation”!??!?? WTfuh, NYT?? Just report the fact of what Musk did. Twice.

I am curious if there is a good counter argument to this video that portrays a broken and corrupt water system in California. youtu.be/4B19qb1Az94?...

@andrewbaggarly.bsky.social @talkinbaseballbot.bsky.social Banning outfield shifts is an idea I heard on Talkin’Baseball today, and I love it (especially as a Brandon Belt lover/sympathizer). Any chance? Pros: More doubles & dives. Con: Enforcement might require ugly demarcation on the grass.
