Most MLB teams have DEI programs. Why won’t any commit to them or talk about it? | Opinion
In the Trump era, when even Jackie Robinson is at risk, the sport is quiet about diversity efforts it used to tout. | Opinion

when MLB dropped "diversity" from its career site, I reached out to every team, including those with live DEI pages.
None committed to their current efforts. Almost nobody responded!

Yukon Gold, olive oil and salt on outsides, roasted until soft enough to mash. Mix with sour cream, garlic butter, salt pepper, and whatever milk you need to hit your consistency.
I want to do an old-school Twitter thing and start a food fight. What is the best kind of mashed potatoes?
(I am doing Thanksgiving for twelvish next week and I have made many kinds of mashed potatoes over the years and am still willing to pick this fight)

I cannot stop thinking about how Olivia Nuzzi turned a climate-fueled wildfire that killed people and destroyed thousands of homes into romantic mood lighting for her affair with a guy who helped put a climate denier back in power.
Climate disaster is not ambiance
Especially not for an illicit affair with a politician who helped a climate-denying administration come to power.

Trump Administration is to propose a massive cut in federal transit funding as part of 2026 transport legislation.
This proposal would decimate the nation's transit systems, while not actually solving the revenue problem federal transportation funding faces.

On the question the NYT asked about whether gambling is "killing" sports, a great find from the 1919 Black Sox scandal.
White Sox gate receipts nearly doubled the next year, from $521k to $910k. (Chicago Tribune, 1921.) Which goes back to my thought on killing: "depends on what you mean!"
