What people are afraid to admit is winning a World Series for some is not good roster construction or sound managerial strategy. It's building a one-time use Rube Goldberg machine and a prayer.

The Capital One logo embedded into this year's World Series logo, while always horrid, looks especially disgusting when you stick it side by side with the retro one.

Todd Radom @toddradom.bsky.social · 17h

The Toronto Blue Jays are back in the World Series for the first time since 1993 and it sure seems like the logo gods aligned for this one.

Racism is a MORAL ****ING FAILING! It is an intellectual and spiritual deficiency in a man. It has not--and has never been, and never will--be a political stance or a "phase."

amy brown @amybrown.xyz · 17h

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

It gets degrees more difficult to do your job when you aren't being paid and you have to watch the most mendacious and greedy people on earth treat you and everyone like you like shit on the teevee every day.

although some oppose the fifty foot hologram of a grinning Augusto Pinochet that appeared on the White House lawn this morning, we spoke with people from across the political spectrum to get a sense of how opinions differ

i've never seen a baseball player break up a double play by leaping into the air, spinning 180 degrees, and taking the throw to the back of the dome. it was perhaps the most beautiful thing i have ever witnessed
