Yeah, we laugh off the idea of an uprising that will install him as King, but it can also be horrible even if a few dozen motivated Three Percenters or whoever start shooting up public places here and there and killing a few hundred people just going about their business, in support of their Replacement Jesus.

Yeah, what about DeSantis and Florida and Charlie Crist and the Golden Girls?

Wait—are they domestic terrorists or glamping kids? Man, so hard to keep up ...

Yes, but did students break into a building at Columbia to protest gun violence? We're missing the point obvs

Israel is overreaching in Gaza in response to 10/7 no less than America overreached in the Middle East in response to 9/11. No one is arguing against Israel having a right to defend itself, or the US helping them with iron dome technology to protect their citizens. The debate is over Israel bombing cities to in order to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians indiscriminately and the US providing the weapons for them to do so.

Why should I take what Amy Rosenthal has to say about what’s been happening on campuses and in K-12 schools at face value?

Perhaps one reason for the protest is that the US is fully supporting and arming the country killing the civilians—yes, there are a lot of civilians being killed there—whereas in the case of Ukraine the US is actively arming the resistance against the aggressor, so there’s no need for the kids to protest the government’s and university's actions on that one. I also believe the vast majority of protesters are anti-bombing and anti-supporting the country doing the bombing only, and only a small sliver are actually anti-Semitic or pro-Hamas, and the latter is all anyone in the press wants to report on, because it’s sexy news. Some people might counter that anyone participating in any protest is automatically pro-Hamas. I would strongly disagree with such a counter. As to why it started spreading all of a sudden last week, I believe that was a reaction to police crackdowns on students at campuses all across the country, especially in Texas, where the governor said in practically so many words that he sent troops not because they’re being violent or anything like that, but because he doesn’t like what side of the issue they’re on and that these protesters belong in jail full stop. As for Roe, I seem to remember there were a lot of protests on campus for that one, unless you have info to the contrary? As for guns and school shootings, if US policy had changed and there were a sudden surge in school shootings from almost nothing to being everywhere as a result, I’d think they’d be protesting that en masse. Instead, mass shootings is more of a slow burn issue occurring over decades than an immediate fireball issue occurring across the space of months.

He thinks the act of being sentenced to jail is political gold for him, plus he assumes it will never even really happen, which would be the best of all worlds for him.

Lemonade: It’s better when he says this out loud rather than faking being pro-choice.

Assuming this story is on the level about its effectiveness, this is a great idea and hopefully all schools will be doing this soon. I can’t think of any real down sides to this. Read the story in a private window on your favorite browser.

It's not as though the market is crawling with All-Star-level hitters just waiting for us to give them a job.

**** Pete Rose.

Tork is borderline useless right now, and that might be generous.

Oh, son of a ...

Oh, for cry-eye ...

That's what +146 means, but it can't be just +146 on a three-way parley, can it? It's got to be +146 for just one of those, doesn't it?

He also identifies as Christian, and to my way of thinking, the right kind of Christian. His mom did a good job.

I think it shows you can't tell just by looking. And you're right: it shouldn't matter. And I don't think it does here. But I did find it remarkable based on his look.

Who's knows, maybe his wife is out of the loop on Ed.

Thirteen strikeouts, six innings, 78 pitches. He’s definitely coming out for one more, and Grid willing, hopefully two.

So I look at Jack Flaherty sitting in the dugout and it’s the first time I’ve seen him without a cap on, and I see his hair, and I’m wondering, is he black? And sure enough, according to Wikipedia, he is biracial and identifies as black. Something I would never have guessed just seeing pictures of him in a ballcap.

Twelve strikeouts, five innings, 65 pitches. Holy Mary, Mother of God.

I’ll take that strike three call on Nootbaar, but man, is Hunter Wendelstedt ever bad.
