Today marks the third of four straight Cardinals spring-training games not on TV/available for streaming. Presently shaking my fist at the heavens above.

Nothing against Siani, who's a legit force with the glove, but I'd love it if Vic Scott left the Cardinals no choice but to make him the starting CF in St. Louis.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

KCD2 is a bit like RDR2 in that my murderous bloodlust is out of control while playing it.

Fans are also concerned that going to games is increasingly unaffordable, and broadcasts keep getting peeled away from their cable/MLBtv subscription and put on some random streaming app, but I'm guessing fixing those issues won't be a priority.

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

NIMBYs are pushing back HARD against the Broadway rezoning, so it's time to make your voice heard! Send a letter to Ciere Boatright (DPD Commissioner) and Laura Flores (Chicago Plan Commission Chair) to let them know you support the Broadway Land Use Framework. secure.everyaction.com/J4fb-l-pHk2Z...

At least after DOGE compromises taxpayer data we'll get six free months of credit monitoring.

Randomly thought of a Sigue Sigue Sputnik album from the 80s that had commercials between songs -- like on the cassette as part of the album. Every time you listened to it, you heard those commercials. Ahead of their time, those guys.

We are a day or two away from the United States Constitution being a dead letter. This is not hyperbole. This is not me be being a doomer. This is a basic legal and political fact. The math, as I see it. 🧵

Thought for a few minutes tonight I had met a man named "Flip Fish," but I later learned he had a much more ordinary name that merely sounded like "Flip Fish" when uttered in the middle of a loud party. This one's going to sting for a while.

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.
