1/ Happiest of birthdays to Tom Hamilton, Cleveland Guardians play-by-play announcer --and 2025 Ford C. Frick honoree for his contributions to the game. (There's also a small shoutout to Jim "The Old Rosebud" Rosenhaus, his partner in the radio booth.) #GuardsBall ⚾🎂🎉

A hand-drawn baseball card depicting Cleveland Guardians' radio play-by-play announcer Tom "Hammy" Hamilton as an cheerful anthropomorphic pig in a radio booth at a stadium. (He is, of course, part of the "All-Farm Team.") On his right is a vase with a single rosebud.

I hate profiles of conservatives who are worried that their country is changing and would welcome profiles of liberals and leftists who are afraid of same thing from the opposite direction and treated their concerns the same kind of reflexive deference

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

- Our closer, Andres Muñoz rescues cats and leaves the game on for his cat Matilda so she can watch him pitch.
- We have Josh Naylor, aka "Thicky Henderson," who is the slowest runner yet steals a lot of bases.

The distance, between the claim that “advocates are actually engaging in violent and dangerous behavior“ to the reality that “bystanders reported seeing children zip-tied to one another,” tells quite the moral story.

Read @caitlindickerson.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

“Many of these so-called advocates are actually engaging in violent and dangerous behavior,” Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson, told me in a statement. She added, in reference to Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker: “From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale. This rhetoric is contributing to a more than 1000% surge in assaults of our ICE officers.”

And yet this comes at a time when ICE itself has become more violent toward immigrants, protesters, and unlucky bystanders alike. In recent weeks, agents have shoved to the ground a journalist trying to document an arrest and a woman who was crying because her husband had just been taken into custody. Both were hospitalized. And in Chicago, they shot a woman who they say rammed an agency vehicle—a claim that the woman’s lawyer said body-camera footage disproves. Alongside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the FBI, ICE also stormed an apartment building in the dark of night, breaking down doors and detaining scores of people, including U.S. citizens. Bystanders reported seeing children zip-tied to one another.

After calling 15 innings that ended the Tigers’ season, radio voice Dan Dickerson accidentally let his frustration slip into swearing on a hot mic.

He apologized the next day, and fans largely had his back.

Hi, I’d like to order a custom hoodie in a camo pattern of Christmas colors and then I’d like a big Punisher skull with Trump hair sticking out from under a Santa hat. And this is VERY IMPORTANT, on the arm I want a patch that says K$H and “FIGHT WITH KASH” underneath. My name is Kash. Yes I’ll hold

Horrific. A 50-year old black man had a stroke & was confused from it. Cops didn’t want to “waste time” doing a thorough evaluation for a medical emergency, assumed it was drugs, & simply threw him in jail. He died

A tragic example of the cruelty of structural racism
