As a sleep fan, good. As a fan of being a hater, I’m conflicted.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

They should give Obama another one for the content

Trump is obviously obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize because Obama won it, but also when Obama won it he seemed vaguely embarrassed by it and never brought it up and whatnot. What an unproductive way to live your life.

Cam Skattebo was an absolute killer in college. I know running backs have been deprioritized but not going until the fourth round feels like a clerical error

Which constitutionally eligible person, if they announced they were running for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, would generate the most headlines?

It is beyond inconceivable that this is the MLB player who is the son of two Hollywood actors

This is something all too rare: A Republican asking himself, 'How would I feel if a Democrat did to me what Trump is doing to Democrats?'

Oklahoma’s Republican governor criticizes guard deployment. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, a Republican and the chairman of the National Governors Association, on Thursday criticized the deployment of Texas National Guard troops to Illinois as a violation of his beliefs in federalism and “states’ rights.”

His comments, in an interview with The New York Times, marked the first time a Republican governor has questioned the interstate deployment of National Guard troops over a governor’s objections. Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois and other Democratic elected officials have been strongly critical of the move and have implored Republican governors to join the opposition.

Mr. Stitt on Thursday said, “We believe in the federalist system — that’s states’ rights,” adding, “Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

U.S. Northern Command says that elements of the Texas national guard are now “employed in the greater Chicago area.”

The statement claims that they’ve been deployed to protect ICE and federal property.

Unpopular opinion: He isn’t wrong. If Donald Trump literally causes the end of the Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine wars, then yes that’s why the Nobel Peace Prize exists

Much more popular opinion: This agreement is like 14 hours old, everybody calm the fuck down

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

FOX: Do you think Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?

FETTERMAN: If this sticks. I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace. And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I will be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize Peace.

Every MLB team has shitty politics guys but the Dodgers had the internal depth to replace Trevor Bauer without skipping a beat. Truly replacing Joe Montana with Steve Young levels of continuity.

David_j_roth @davidjroth.bsky.social · 2d

It's a testament to the Dodgers' industry-leading depth that when one of their accomplished-but-washed chud pitchers duffs a game out of reach they actually have another accomplished-but-washed chud with even worse politics to bring in to mop it up. Most teams don't even have one guy that odious.

Clayton Kershaw has made over $300 million in his career, has never faced any punishment for his public comments, and will sail into Cooperstown on his first ballot. Jokes are the thing we have on him, and anybody who disagrees is a giant baby
