This was fascinating. Add in the lack of intelligence and criminality in the current regime to this kind of mindset-scary.

@jeffsharlet.bsky.social is here among us.

My choice as well.

This is such a good film.

Another reason we can cut LeBron.

Yes. Because Trump's rationale is extremely pathological, (also Hegseth), and they dumped numerous admirals and generals (DEI), Bush looks like a Mensa.

I just found this song and artist after starting with Al Green and Take me to the River.
Heart wrenching.

Which game? I was pleasantly surprised by the not too obnoxious announcers on USA vs Brasil on Big Fox. Actually decent. Also Dodgers good, as expected.

The World (Is Going Up in Flames)

The world is going up in flames, and no one wants to take the blame.

Don't tell me how to live my life, when you never felt the pain.

I can't turn my head away.
Seeing all these things.

I truly believe the #WBC should get the #NobelPeacePrize!

The Kingdom of #Netherlands team speaks 4 languages: Papiamento -- an Afro-Portuguese Creole language, English, Spanish and Dutch.
Team #Brasil speaks Portuguese,
Spanish, English, and often Japanese.

We’ve got to spread baseball to more countries. I want to see Transylvania vs. Mongolia in the next WBC.

Love it

I love that the two strongest factors in Brazil having a competent baseball team are:
1. The Japanese-Brazilian community
2. The children of MLB players and their Brazilian wives

I'm loving how this Brasil team stayed in the game against wildly bigger "stars".

And he's a super nice guy, humble, and a great teammate!

Boy, we could use more people like him in the world.

If Biden had hosted a WH event on the frivolous topic of college sports while bombing Iran, legacy media reporters would have ripped him a new one. Reporters clearly are more pro-Trump than the average American. I think it’s because it’s easier to cover Trump’s spectacles than policy reporting.

Ok thanks!
They sure look close!

Baseball question #2

Did you know #Japanese immigrants to Brasil helped to bring baseball to #Brasil?
Yuichi Matsumoto is the manager of the Brazil national baseball team for 2026 #WorldBaseballClassic; he is the first native Brazilian manager to helm the team in #WBC competition.

Baseball questions:

What is the #Pantone number for the #KCRoyals uniforms?

Looks awfully close to Pantone 294! #Dodgers #SpringTraining

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/

Of course Platner knew what his Nazi symbol was. It changed his life. His tattoos were reviewed when he asked to return active duty; a trained officer looked for violations. The sleeve tattoos were OK. The Totenkopf was not. Platner chose to keep it. Somewhere in DoD, it’s all written down. 5/

Marco Rubio is the only Trump official who can reach a George W Bush level of competence so they ask him to do everything

Isn't this like fiddling while Rome burns?
Imagine you are the family of a killed or injured soldier?

Trump says Cuba will be attacked next

The Iran conflagration is costing taxpayers one billion dollars a day.

Is this helping the American people?
