Mariners fandom is the haunted house 🏚️ at which you beseech “DONT GO IN THERE!”

And yet, you follow your compatriots to meet your fate within.

There is no path towards Something New for the Seattle Mariners that is not teeming with agony, pain, and misery beyond imagining. The nation will watch in horror as this team gives painful birth to our beautiful and terrible abomination.

This is how it was always going to be.

In the light of day, the insistence on taking millions of fans into the yawning abyss of hell that is a 15-inning game seems pretty difficult to justify. What were the Mariners thinking?

It's clearer by the day that Columbia making a deal with Trump in July was a catastrophe for higher education as a whole. It gave terrible people a bottomless appetite for extortion. The other eight universities must follow MIT's lead.

The SpEd system in this country is set up in a way that families know they're entitled to certain things but also know they have to fight tooth and nail to get what they deserve.

They're tenacious experienced fighters who'll do anything for their kids. These assholes just sucker punched them all.

I said this when he was sworn in for this term, but the parents of SpEd children whose funding is at risk of cuts are 100% going to be braying for blood if and when that money disappears. This is literally a matter of life & death for them. This *absolutely* risks political violence.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

There’s a video of Tim Walz hunting, shooting a pheasant. And people are scolding him about it.

I don’t get it. Some people out here really don’t understand politics even a little.

The reason the ICE videos aren’t producing a backlash of that scale (yet) is that our institutional elites are deeply committed to ignoring them, which both reduces their spread and reduces the sense that this is something important we SHOULD be freaking out about.

Mariners: we refuse to win!

Tigers: You’re going to win and you’re going to like it!

Ms: You can’t make us!

Tigers: You’re incorrigible! We’ll give you until the 15th inning, then we’re loading the bases for you and giving you a full count. Then you’re walking it off one way or another.

Ms: UGH

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”
