There is a baby at Corn Coast, which is packed to the gills and then some by both humans and dogs, just napping like there's nothing happening around them, and that's the level of unbothered I aspire to reach

If Major League Soccer doesn’t care enough to watch their own games in order to write about them, why should we watch their games?

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

Shocking new footage proves that they resumed the football game that Bane blew up after he made his big speech. This is from the second quarter.

Love the "excuse our mess, we're still open!" backdrop for the FG

Mizzou lining up a FG, the backdrop is an under construction section of the entire end of the stadium including orange hurricane fencing and a bare concrete wall

"Is Portland on fire? Depends on if the person you ask is lying" is a hell of a journalistic low, even for the Times.

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 9d

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

It is October 2028. The Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers are still playing the divisional round playoff game that began in 2025. The rest of the MLB decided to continue on without them and start a whole new league.

I'd be more shocked if they managed to lay out the field somewhat normally tbh. The real question will be whether they align it so that left field or right field gets the comedic short porch

Josh Soma @joshsoma10.bsky.social · 10d

I saw pics of their setup when they played at Clemson, and by normal baseball standards, it was hilarious. I'd bet Memorial will be pretty similar to that
