I'm happy for all my Wisconsin people. The Brewers are about as sad as the Mariners. We all deserve this.

I hate it for my Cubs and Tigers fans friends, though.

Such a tragic, but fun, twist of fate that the basketball program is floundering. I was hoping Woodson would do it for y'all.

I mean, maybe? I'd like to think so, but every time we do this, we think the next guy will be better and he's worse. Lane feels the closest to a sure thing. If he can do it in Oxford, then he can do it here. Buy out Napier, pay Lane what he wants. They'll make the money back.

Bruh. I WATCH 911 and found myself asking when it became The Fast and The Furious?

I mean, this game went better than I expected. I don't know what the solution is. I still want Napier gone, but if it's not for Lane, then what's the point? The kids at least play hard for Billy, even if the team isn't *good.*

You were the first person I thought of when I saw that game end. Y'all have forced me to take IU seriously.

Bryan Woo, Seattle’s only All-Star starter this year, has not pitched since Sept. 19 because of pectoral inflammation. Jerry Dipoto, the Mariners’ president of baseball operations, said after Game 5 that he expected Woo to pitch at some point in the ALCS but had not yet made any formal roster decisions.

This is one program Trump thinks is a "Democrat" program because it demonstrates care for others.

But the benefits cross-cut partisan lines.

"decimated," as one person described.
"They cut just about everyone that works with IDEA funding," said another.
"I'm not sure how these programs exist moving forward."

The promotion of pseudoscience about a supposed “cause” or “cure” of autism and the destruction of special education (and all of public education, really) are part of the same project. It is a fascist attempt to expel certain people from the body politic, based in eugenics.

Sara Partridge, Ph.D. @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 20h

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Apparently she did actually call and also posted on X about dedicating it to the people of Venezuela and Trump who has supported her fight against Maduro.

Like, who in their right mind believes this? Even if he did get a call, it was certainly some white house staffer faking a Venezuelan accent.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

They finally acknowledged Melissa Hortman but are using her to justify their ongoing suppression of dissent, skating over the fact that her killer was not Antifa but a Trump supporter who had a long list of other Democrats, abortion rights advocates and health care officials he planned to target.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

This isn’t funny. Judges only speak to the press when they’re in extreme distress

Leah Litman @leahlitman.bsky.social · 1d

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Still can't believe the Mariners actually won a George Kirby start last night. Maybe it was balanced out by Skubal starting.
