One thing I regretted from the 1st Trump admin was not keeping a list of all the batshit crazy things that happened on a daily basis to look back on. I thought I could for the 2nd but there's just too much. Like trying to count raindrops or sand - just overwhelming and impossible

Ichiro has the 2nd most innings pitched for a Hall of Famer who pitched for the Marlins.

I’ve never been an alarmist with sports Hall of Fame voting. But I really think you should not be granted what many baseball fans consider a high honor if you didn’t vote for Ichiro.

They were who we thought they were

Happy shit hits the fan day

When public figures speak like this, I always wonder if they teach their kids to do the same. Even if they don’t explicitly, the modeling is insidious.

One of the best

It's getting harder and harder to defend the @nytimes.com when they publish a roundtable podcast seriously defending the Panama, Greenland and Canada thoughts without anyone saying they are batshit crazy. Not everything needs to have both sides - some ideas can just be called insane

Over the last few months, I found myself on Facebook less and less, and finding the quality of everything to be lower and lower. 1/2 of the posts were ads, groups I am not in, or "influencers" I don't follow. And it's only going to get worse. Buh Bye Facebook. This is easier than deleting Twitter

It's one banana, Michael. How much could it cost? $6.2 million?

Amazing that baseball fans for the most part just want no blackouts and for the national broadcasts not to suck for the big games and Manfred is like let’s have a piñata in center field and whichever team breaks it first wins the game

I'm just annoyed that I had a chance to watch the Red Sox play there in 2022 and I didn't take it. A stadium I'll never get to 😔

Wrote about arguably my favorite topic in all of sports: Jerry Jones spending $1.2 billion on a stadium built at the exact orientation so the sun shines directly into players eyes during the months when the Cowboys play football: open.substack.com/pub/rodgersh...

Congrats MAGA world, we libs feel owned. Can we get the real nominees now? Please?

I deleted my Twitter/X account two years ago and my main source of social media interaction has been Facebook. I'm coming back here to have less doom posts from my friends and more actual news and information. Thanks for being a safe place without Nazis (yet)
