“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

@sportingnews.com Tell your Billy Heyen to do a little background before publishing ultra-brief pieces that offer commentary. Appalling, he writes, for a player to see red after being beaned five times in 15 PAs, three by the same pitcher, who has also beaned him before. How dare he!

@silencergame.bsky.social Just played the demo. It was fun at first, but the immediate inconsistencies in week 3, roughly back to back, were both immersion breaking and frustrating, at which point I quit. The game was doing a good enough job illustrating its point without attempting to force losses.

I suppose I should also tag @shannondrayer.bsky.social, might as well alert @lookoutlanding.bsky.social and, out of an abundance of decency, offer @seattlesports710.bsky.social the opportunity to comment
@garyhilljr.bsky.social I was listening to 710 yesterday and it ran a long form ad spot where Kristi Noem brags about deportations and then threatens migrants in plain English.

congratulations to Donald Trump on becoming the first American president to lose both a Canadian and an Australian election
Peter Dutton, leader of the right-wing opposition in Australia, lost *his own seat* today — amid his broader loss to the Labor Party that won reelection.
Just like on Tuesday, when Pierre Poilievre, leader of the right-wing opposition in Canada, lost his own seat — amid his party's broader loss.

Our trade policies should benefit American workers, not just corporate CEOs.
That includes targeted tariffs to stop corporations from outsourcing American jobs & factories.
We do not need a blanket, arbitrary sales tax that will raise prices on products that Americans need.
