If Rob Manfred would’ve just suspended players, like he should’ve, we could all pretend the game was cleaned up. I’m gonna end every skeet with effin George Springer

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

Kevin Smith’s 'Mallrats' was received with something less than enthusiasm when it was released on this day in 1995. @rroxana-hadadi.bsky.social on what it gets right about masculinity, youth, and consumer culture: crookedmarquee.com/malaise-at-t...

Malaise at the Mall: Mallrats at 25

Kevin Smith’s sophomore feature was not well received. But it gets a lot right about masculinity, youth, and consumer culture:

The Trump administration’s war on anti-fascism is likely to inspire a heightened public profile for the Antifa movement—and a deeper identification with its ideas and values. trib.al/NI9Jbq5

The Rams don't need to soul search during the bye in 2025, unlike the past two seasons. But if they keep up the in-season improvements that led to a combined 16-4 record after the byes in '23 & '24, there's reason to believe this could be a special year

Rams enter bye week on strong footing, but hoping for something special

After a stellar offensive performance and an improving defensive play, Rams can build on momentum after trip to London.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for donors helping fund his ballroom project.

Today, crews are starting construction and literally tearing down parts of the White House.

It's day 20 of the government shutdown and this is what he's prioritizing?

Happy Monday, everyone! The Dodgers are heading to the World Series again!

A take on the “I just wanted to take another look at you” scene between Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) and Ally Campana (Lady Gaga), referring the Los Angeles Dodgers returning to the World Series in 2025.

Jackson: “Hey!”
Ally: “What?”
Jackson: “The Dodgers are going to the World Series.”
Ally: [smiles]

Bonus question! What do we learn from the NYT's online play of yesterday's events?

Big picture of JD Vance, and headline "Vance Flexes Marines' Might as Mass Protests Against Trump's Agenda Take Place." Two other stories on how Democrats have the wrong message and strategy.

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Then you can find today's story on p A23

Front page of NYT on September 22, 2025, with large top-of-page photo of a Charlie Kirk memorial service, and the lead page-one story on the same topic.

Front page of today's NYT, Oct 19, with no story about the nationwide protests, and a "below the fold" montage of two photos, and a link to a story on page 23.

I have to agree; it’s truly awesome. If there’s one thing I’ve always liked from them, it’s Sam’s bass playing. I think “Re-Arranged” is their best song, too.
