Not counting Wild Card games, this is the first winner-take-all postseason game to go 12 innings since Game 7 of the 1924 World Series.

Walter Johnson, after throwing four scoreless innings out of the bullpen, was the winning pitcher in that one.

Two consecutive BlueSky posts—first says “how good is this?” and second says “this is excruciating.”

My unscientific BlueSky research indicates that Mariners fans are a lot more melodramatic than Tigers fans

I’m no supermodel myself and it’s not at all the point, but why do the evil billionaire white boys always have faces that look like their DNA didn’t entirely think things through

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

In all seriousness: I do at least three stupid and/or klutzy things at my workplace every day and they're not on national TV and I'm not 24 years old.

I hope O.K. is OK.

I always listen(ed) to the radio broadcast and I'm still finding it wildly disconcerting.

Excited for the Blues to begin repairing my wounded heart or plunging a knife into the still-fresh scar tonight. #LGB

The Secretary of Health and Human Services does not know that babies don't grow inside placentas

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

I have just one thing to say to all of you about your petty, mean-spirited, and frankly uncalled-for Kershaw posts

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."
