The first time I went to Detroit was for a Tigers game, and my brother tried to convince me this was a statue to honor Doug Fister lmao.

The Joe Louis fist statue in Detroit. It’s a black arm with a fist at the end of it.

This is probably what that lady was seeing when she was yelling about people not being real on the plane.

Photo of barrelman pointing a bat at the camera on a train form the Milwaukee journal sentinel. Caption says “Milwaukee Brewers mascot Barrelman squeezes hit way into the the Amtrak Hiawatha train at the Milwaukee Intermodal Station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Oct. 8, 2025, headed for Chicago to watch the Milwaukee Brewers take on the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 of National League Division Series playoff baseball game.”

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I don't know that I'll ever get tired of Trevor Bauer getting his ass kicked nonstop at every level of organized ball in Japan

Gaijin Baseball's comment on the bottom captures perfectly how I feel

Stuff like this is why I always keep this meme handy...

Simpsons bus driver meme. Driver says "Don't make me tap the sign". Sign reads "The South is full of good people that are on your side that are held back by gerrymandering, disenfranchisement and regressive policies."

As someone from the South, thank you.

I think it’s also a good snapshot of why saying “They got what they voted for,” because in the first instance, that’s not true at all.

2 things I notice about this map:

-Majority of facilities at risk in Alabama are in the Black Belt (dually for the soil & the demographics).

-It may not look like much in the Plains, but ppl out there already drive very far to facilities.

Lots of life & death matters in just this small snapshot.

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are now closing or at risk of closure because of the Republican bill that guts health care funding, per @protectourcare.org.

This is going to be the final season of baseball because the Mariners and the Brewers are going to make it to the World Series and it’ll get to game 7 and go 30 extra innings and they decide the power of friendship and the power of butts cannot best each other
