These betrayals keep happening, and they will compromise natsec because no one will work with us so we won't have any native intel assets on the ground Combine that with insulting our allies, provoking our enemies, and very dumb people running our natsec apparatus and you should be very worried

When the #Orioles announcer introduced JJ Hardy, who is a guest coach at #SpringTraining, for an in-game interview with "Nice to see you," JJ responded with the old school "It's nice to be seen." Classic JJ

As the kids say, we are so back #orioles #birdland #springtraining

This could be a complicated one for Steve Bannon

Grothman having to refer to his notes to remember the line "He's done some very good things" only to get read for filth by his deep red constituents is objectively funny But what I want to know is how this guy could get elected to anything. He's the old man from Up without the charm or energy

Put the book tour aside, the most tone deaf thing a politician has done in years. What could be more relatable to voters than a reference to the Election of 1896? Just kidding. "Corrupt bargain" refers to the Election of 1872 Kidding again. It's the Election of 1824 Or is it? You have no idea

Peter Parker always protects the people he loves.

If there is anyone you don't want to rush, it's your surgeon. After that, it's Boeing

This is really promising. An amazing palate cleanser as we grapple with the return of measles

Now that we finally have a premiere date for The Last of Us Season 2 maybe more people will think twice before posting mushroom pics on Bluesky

Leaving Connor McDavid completely alone in the slot is wild

Jesus Christ

Paulette's anecdote is quite telling

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

OK be honest. How many of you knew how many provinces Canada has? Time to watch more hockey

Very Serious People confidently predicted Trump wouldn't be able to stomach Musk's heavy-handedness for long and there would be a quick, messy divorce. I have no idea how they could study Trump for this long and feel that way Trump respects wealth and power, and he is deferential to those with more

When Big Banks risked our money, lost our money, got bailed out with our money, and paid no price, we were mad. Along came crypto bros seeing our anger, pretending to care, and offering bad faith solutions to a real problem The same happened here. People don't feel seen by Dems, so this happens

Damn

Wow

I wanted him gone 2 years ago but since he's still here then yes it would

Back in the day I called Gunnar at SS, Holliday at 2B instead of SS, and Hesty and Mayo and Basallo getting run at 1B. More recently, I called Hesty wouldn't go anywhere even after Elias signed all those righty OFs Besides the Rogers trade and 2025 free agency, Elias and I have the same philosophy

Happy birthday to the GOAT Sidney Poitier

Meta says they laid off people for "poor performance." In fact, they did it for a lot of other reasons: a desire to eliminate people who were outspoken about the company, a desire to have more white dudes, a mistaken belief Llama can replace them And also to pay the least valuable people more

I used to think GitLab would be a nice alternative after Microsoft muscled in on GitHub but nah

I think @taylorlorenz.bsky.social is one of the best experts on Internet culture, but she allows her ideology, namely false equivalence between Dems and Republicans, to color her reporting. On her pod, she claimed Biden and Dems cut the safety net. There is enough real stuff to criticize Dems about

Never quitting this app

Apple maintains its advantage by leveraging its monopoly power, to the chagrin of Epic, Meta, etc, with the need for apps to be on the App Store to be viable. This is why they've never cared about DX and probably don't care about AI's lack of Swift knowledge, You need them more than they need you

I can just hear my coaches yelling "STOP BALL!"

The Banner is too small time for the work of @nytpitchbot.bsky.social, but I think he would really appreciate this crazy shit

I'M WHEEZING

Sherman founded Politico Playbook, maybe the worst example of Beltway Media's obsession with balance over accuracy and themselves as pivotal characters in a West Wing episode. Even the chief of civility police can't believe @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are such cowards lmao

FYI Sam Thompson might have been the first 5-tool player in #MLB history. He averaged almost an RBI per game for his career, which is wild, and is still the oldest player ever to hit a triple He was 46

Microsoft can't even get my bullet points to align in a Word doc GTFO

When the #Orioles made the playoffs the last two seasons, the first two seasons of EBJ's pro career, I was literally the only one in #Birdland begging them to put him on the playoff roster. Sure it would be unorthodox but he was ready to be a defensive replacement and pinch runner Well looky here
