If we get a Josh Naylor stealing 3rd moment in the next round of MLB the Show content, I’m not sure I can pull that one off.

The ESPN broadcast mentioned John Cena’s college football career, and he was a center at Springfield College, a place I know very well (swam there a bit at the Art Linklater Natatorium, and it’s also near MassMutual).

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Dunkin. Or Quiznos, because the Spongmonkeys commercials would have been more unhinged.

The US Is a Civic Desert. To Survive, the Democratic Party Needs to Transform Itself.

The party should jettison its consultant class and move toward a local-membership model that would help to rejuvenate civic life across the country.

A great movie “No” discusses how the opposition built a campaign against Pinochet based one idea: “democracy should be fun.”

Beautiful frog stands against dictatorship.

“It’s the arrogance of it all."

Bill Belichick pledged an NFL approach at North Carolina. It has proven to be a complete disaster. Here's @theathletic.com’s story on why UNC football has turned into such a dumpster fire:

Damn. RIP.

Red Sox @redsox.com · 1d

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Red Sox Hall of Famer Mike Greenwell.

“The Gator” spent his entire career in a Red Sox uniform & was a beloved fixture of Fenway and Fort Myers. He gave so much to this organization, Lee County, & Sox Nation.

We send our love to the Greenwell family.
