MIT still hasn't taken out the trash yet, but FIT, UMass AMherst and GWU all cleared yesterday; need to powerwash GW statute

if some of these bats were just really bad, instead of god awful, they would be in 1st place

no idead how this is relevant, but whatever

The Tigers have a serious problem. It isn’t going to fix itself. 

in the Winter of '27, Harris will be done assessing and will makes some a-ma-zing moves, just wait, it'll be awesome

Fascinating podcast on Exurbia from Rick Wilson today.

Basically, those people be cray.   And reasons for that are self-perpetuating social isolation. 

I think the suburbs that qualify in the Detroit Metro would be anything further out than Milford, I don't have a good feel for the situation in the northern suburbs past Pontiac.  Ann Arbor creates a weird situation to the southwest...maybe Pinckney and Whitmore Lake.  To the South well that's weird because of Downriver but clearly Dundee with the large Cabellas store is a mecca of sorts. 

thanks. terrifying.

wasting a 1/1 pick on a guy you hope turns into CJ Cron

I really worry about this generation. Miltary recruitment is at an all time low. However most of our enemies are out there getting battle tested nearly daily. 

haven't people been saying this for like 200 years? life is easier for me than it was for my parents (huge technology, healthcare advancements) and life will probably be easier for my kids than it is for me

agree about military - an all-volunteer force is amazing,

but universal service of some kind would be awesome for the country

Breaking News: Appears Trump was lying about gag order preventing him from testifying

If it's Rubio who will be forced to move? Will Trump head back to NY or Rubio give up his Senate seat and force an interim election? That whole scenario could open up a whole new set of issues.

Trump cannot move back to NY - a place he has called a hell hole. Would be a total cuck move and he would get dragged constantly for it. Trump could move to NJ.

But Tuberville lives in Florida, so no reason Marco could just move out of state. The SC and the FLA SC would have no problem finding that whatever the GOP did, it was OK.

I was probably 22 or so when I realized that Mel Kiper was really just a used car salesman

if he consistenly knew how to identify talent better than teams, he would have been hired, paid a lot of money and given a lot of power to build a team

just like I did not care very much that the 2023 crop was disparaged, i don't care that people really like the 2024 class

Brad knows what he is doing, full stop; 3 great drafts prove it; the only surprise will be if the 2024 class does not turn out to be good (even if any one pick does not make it)

Workman 1/4 RBI BB K HR SB (.929 OPS, no longer switch-hitting and seeing some positives it seems)

thanks; did not know that; 25% K rate is a huge improvement, but just 18 games so far. Workman offers so much: speed, defense, some power, versatility - just needs to get his Ks to a managable level

Got a gag order hearing coming this morning...again.   I wonder how the rest of this trial goes if Merchan says, no matter the outcome you are doing a stretch come the end of this trial. 

other options: if convicted this will factor into sentencing and/or bail conditions on appeal

NYPD looks like a bunch of pussies compared to California cops, who are using flashbangs and rubber bullets  to clear UCLA protestors

the only accomplishments these bozos have achieved: 1) stalled billions to Israel got passed; 2) ridiculous antisemitism bill passed house; and 3) increased chance Trump - who would love to see a nuke dropped on Gaza - wins

9 games until the quarter turn; even going just 4-5 puts them on a 89 win pace; Cleveland looks legit, though not this legit; Royals probably will fade; should be a fun summer!

pretty sure that's 10 no-hit innings in a row over the last 3 starts for Jobe

looks like Columbia nonsense is over; NYPD will be permanent presence on campus thru graduation; protestors overplayed their hand and accomplished nothing.

not sure this is accessable to all, but this is great article, explaining how GOP exploits the stupidity of the progressive left.

they are not useful idiots - they are VERY useful idiots

Not every protester joining the encampments shares this goal, of course. But it is the goal of the people directing the protests. That is why their slogans and chants call for elimination rather than coexistence. It was instructive when left-wing Israel critic Norman Finkelstein pleaded with protesters at Columbia to change their slogan to “From the river to the sea, Palestinians” — rather than “Palestine” — “will be free,” only for protesters to mock him by immediately repeating the original chant.
