The Dodgers are funded in part by ICE. Never forget that.

Dodger ownership (Mark Walter) has a private equity stake in ICE facilities, and tonight their club’s fans are being hunted and targeted by a militarized police force (including ICE troops) that they benefit from financially.

I love this essay by film critic emeritus Lisa Schwarzbaum on seeing Mira Nair’s “Monsoon Wedding” 24 years ago — and being reminded of it anew during the joyful mayoral campaign of Nair’s son, Zohran Mamdani:

Trump went golfing with Wayne Gretzky today. That's FOX host Brett Baier on the right. Trump posted this on his Truth Social account.

I bleached the countertops in preparation for the Thursdaymeal cooking marathon. Went to take a shower before my family gets here.

Came back to the kitchen and

Dylan Cease wears number 84 because that’s the number classic poses in Hatha yoga, and he’s a disc golf enthusiast who owns courses.

He seems like he has exactly the right sort of good dude weirdo energy to fit into this Blue Jays clubhouse.

So I’ve been thinking about Bo and I’m just going to say it: if he signs elsewhere it will be disappointing but not a tragedy. His big numbers came in a FA year. When he sprained his knee he was off seven weeks. In the WS he wouldn’t run through the pain to take an extra base and that cost 🧵

not a big “let’s do another conversation on why bluesky is dying” guy but these were these replies when longtime Popular Sports Poster @gourmetspud.bsky.social expressed his excitement that the Blue Jays got the best free agent pitcher

I love the Raptors. I think they have as great a vibe as the Blue Jays.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

Former Vice-President Kamala Harris and Senator Lindsey Graham greet each other at Dick Cheney’s funeral.

Kamala Harris sits in a pew smiling warmly as Lindsey Graham leans down toward her with his head bowed slightly and his hand raised near his mouth as if speaking quietly. They appear to be engaged in a friendly, intimate conversation at Dick Cheney’s funeral. People seated behind them look on, slightly out of focus.
