Kershaw really shit on his legacy by deciding he needed to get on the record with the wackest, worst, laziest bigotry right as the curtain was coming down, and it will be tough to remember him any other way. Absolutely one of the greats, but no one can just be normal (or just be quiet) anymore.

That's rad. Breakfast of Champions is probably my favorite Vonnegut book, and every time I think about it, I think of that drawing.

I know SOMEBODY in the bullpen has to suck, but yeah, no matter how big the lead, I should not have to watch Ferguson or Vargas pitch in a playoff game.

Using AI to keep watching videos of a dead person is frankly sinister. Just reveals a culture obsessed iwth never moving forward or looking ahead, just wallowing in increasingly degraded and unnatural rehashes of its own memories

Zelda Williams urges fans to stop sending AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:

“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on.”

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

When LeBron James announced “The Second Decision”, fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that the upcoming season would be his last.

Instead, it was a liquor ad.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

Bari Weiss signs huge deal to usher CBS News into its Vichy era: defector.com/bari-weiss-s...

The Ellisons and the rest of the billionaire class don't need the aerodynamic drag of association with fringier right-wing stuff; they want the prestige and lubricity of affiliation with important, elite institutions. That's the value proposition of the Ivy-incubated, Wall Street Journal and New York Times veteran Weiss: obsequiousness to power and capital without any of the wacky stuff, the imprimatur of elite consensus unburdened by any inconvenient commitment to reporting on the business of powerful people. What does this look like in practical terms?

New CBS polling shows that voters have soured on Trump's handling of economic issues.

60% of voters now disapprove of his overall handling of the economy.

On inflation it's even worse for Trump, with 65% disapproving.

When your bullpen is fully rested and you bring in the worst pitcher on the team in a huge moment, you kinda deserve to lose.

There's a documentary that's been screening around the country for a year or two about the hedge fund that bought my local paper (and effectively ended my career in journalism), and I've been waiting for an opportunity to watch it. Looks like it hit PBS this week! It's good, infuriating stuff:

Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink

A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.
