Anyone get a trump tarrif refund yet or is that just another trump jam job?

Naw, I agree with you, he's never going to face justice. I'm just left hoping that when he realizes he is going to die soon, he doesn't have the nuclear button within reach.

At least someone got their $100 worth!

One nation, under Don, divided for his convenience, with liberty for him, and loyalty oaths for the rest of us.

I am pretty firmly on the left, and I am neither anti-American nor anti-western. I say that because I think it matters when evaluating whether the left, as a governing political force, has been captured by antisemitism, and I don't think it has. On Israel specifically: I don't think the "colonizer" framing is wholly inaccurate. A significant strand of Zionist ideology has drifted rightward over decades toward expanded settlement, annexation, and in some quarters explicitly expulsionist thinking. That's documentable, not propaganda. And criticizing that trajectory isn't antisemitism, even if some people putatively on my side of the aisle weaponize the criticism in antisemitic ways. On the broader point, I agree that rhetoric matters. But the distance between fringe influence and governing control is not the same on both sides right now, and I think that distinction is doing a lot of work that we keep glossing over. You mention presumed leaders of the far left now, and I know who Ilhan Omar is, but I had to look up Rossana Rodriguez, because I had no idea who she was. That's not an accident, because she's fringe. By contrast, the figures who set the Republican governing agenda are not fringe anymore—they are the agenda. The asymmetry is real and significant. Are there people on the left moving toward antisemitism? Yes. Are there more than there used to be? Perhaps, maybe even probably. Is there any realistic danger they seize control of the Democratic Party the way nativist, antisemitism-coded elements have routinely seized control of conservative and reactionary parties throughout history, and are doing right now in the GOP? I don't see it. I don't think it's even close. I'd just ask that we not fall into the trap of a "pox on both houses" framing, because while that feels fair and balanced, it obscures the fact that the two poxes are nowhere near alike in scope, scale, or institutional capture.

At this point I'd go further and call them perverts.

Wait until you get into your 60s!

I realize this is definitely a "first world problems" kind of gripe. And really, this is just a guy in his mid 40s lamenting about how things were so much better "back in the day." but, I can't be the only one who feels this way. Does anybody else think that the amount of alternate jerseys baseball teams wear in a year is getting ridiculous? The Tigers aren't quite as bad as some teams that I've seen, but some other teams I feel like I've seen wear like a dozen different jerseys this year. What ever happened to just a home and away jersey? Yeah I know that this is all about pushing merchandise sales. But I see teams playing in uniforms every colour of the rainbow? The some teams "City Connect" jerseys are some of the most hideous looking things I've ever seen. Do these hideous jerseys help the sport catch on with younger crowds? Or is it just about pushing merch sales? Again as I said, Detroit isn't nearly as bad as some teams in this regard but it's just getting crazy. There seems to be no rhyme or reason what a team will be wearing on any given day.

You don't need to start Reed. But he has earned minutes in the rotation for sure, and sitting the first half again is not an option. I would have a quick hook for Duren though. If Duren struggles in the 1st quarter then Reed gets the bulk of the minutes and possibly starts the 2nd half.

Yeah, I didn't mean to preach. It's just that turd, and his entire administration, could possibly be putting all of our lives at risk. At least, our way of living. I sure don't wanna go back to an isolation type covid life.

Well, I certainly don't get it. These people seem desperately to want to get back to the 1950's. By that standard we are still about 100million people over target. 🤷‍♂️

Not I-I had exactly the number of babies I planned on. Zero.

I know it’s been said many times, but these people are ****ing weird

“All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24/7 baby machine So he can live out his picket-fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour.” (w/appreciation to Paris Paloma)

Wow

To be clear, I’m agreeing with your take on MAHA and MAGA. These movements diminish our humanity.

Baseball is Hard. 2025 AL MVP Runner Up Cal Raleigh is on an 0-36 streak and is currently batting .157. Chris Davis .168 in 2018 is the worst full season average in history. 2025 NL MVP Shohei Ohtani is on a 4-34 bender with a double as his only XBH the last 10 games.

Should Paul Reed start over Duren? I know he won't, but should he?

I’m not sure if the Mets have played a single game with their preferred starting lineup. Soto, Lindor, Robert, and Polanco have all missed significant time already.

Ugliest guy in the league.

If it included 50 I am 100% out.

Lions sign first-round pick Blake Miller, rest of 2026 draft class

The Tigers have a .463 winning percentage because of injuries. The Mets have a .375 winning percentage because...they suck. So are we gonna get swept? We need that good Flaherty tonight.
