This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
I love this book so much! Go get it!!
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
what does he think they are sacrificing
hockey's borderline fetishization of injury and its overall labor weakness are direct causative agents in many of the cultural problems in the sport, in this essay I will—

also lol I saw someone go "baseball players will miss several weeks for a blister by lindsey vonn is skiing on a busted ACL" and I'm like, that's because she (like many olympians and female athletes generally) does not have labor protections, stop valorizing injury, start agitating for rest
An unstated part of this article: There is an enormously long history of calling Jewish athletes in particular soft. They did it to Koufax, they did it to Hank Greenberg. 1/
your toxic internet posting to your tiny circle of likeminded people (because your antisocial behavior has driven everyone else off) isn’t activism and your assumption that others aren’t engaging in actual activism because they aren’t doing toxic internet posting to your liking is bullshit
emotionally, I needed sports messiness today, so thank u sports
We can have a lot of feelings about this but what we're NOT gonna do is imply that Jason Brown shouldn't have been at the last Olympics, thank you.
No Kings includes Draft Kings
Oh I meant to send that to you with that exact comment lol
If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...
not the important story here but it is pretty crazy scott boras woke up this morning signing cody bellinger to the yankees for $160 million and is now ending his day as the first-call media coordinator for a potential multinational incident
Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee, who was detained at LAX, has now been released.
BREAKING: San Francisco Giants star Jung Hoo Lee has been detained by CBP at LAX. Pelosi's office says she is working to secure his release. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...
hey if you're wondering "has a baseball website covered whatever the fuck Miller is talking about, for some reason and done it more accurately than he is?" the answer is absolutely, yes:

If you like the hockey boys kissing show, you’ll love the good Jewish baseball boys kissing book.
Breakout Year by KD Casey This has been a wild year for baseball fans — Mariners, you were so close! — but thankfully we have a terrific baseball book to carry us through until spring training. Casey’s BREAKOUT YEAR (Self-published, ebook, $4.99) is a high-concept contemporary about a newly traded third baseman, Eitan Rivkin, who spontaneously comes out during a press conference. Hiring a fake boyfriend to take on very visible dates seems like the best way to get the media talking about his love life instead of why his last team traded him so abruptly. His audition call connects him with Akiva, the first Orthodox Jewish ballplayer and a former minor league teammate who now cobbles together a living out of ghostwriting, editing, modeling and anything else he can turn his hand to. He needs the money, and Eitan’s thrilled to be spending time with someone he already knows and likes, so the contract is signed. And immediately becomes a problem. Both Eitan and Akiva are used to being alone, and playing their cards close to the vest. This is not a book where triumphant resolutions tie up every loose thread in a neat little bow, because baseball doesn’t allow for that kind of ending. Sometimes the only thing you can do is your best, and hope you get a second chance.
Hello, Breakout Year is in the New York Times as a book for sad Mariners fans (it's also for sad Jays fans, sad Tigers fans, sad...etc.) Big thank yous to @oliviawaite.com for the lovely write up!!!
I was literally about to text you “what’s the point of swapping infielders?”

I just glanced up at the LIDOM game on my TV, saw a barely buttoned jersey in the batter's box, and said "What does this guy think he is, a Phillie?" It was Johan Rojas.
I just checked and his name is CLIFTON.
The most vigorous expression of a resolution does not always coincide with the greatest vigour of the resolution itself. It is often flung out as a sort of prop to support a decaying conviction which, while strong, required no enunciation to prove it so. – Thomas Hardy
