Holy mary, mother of god! I knew Ilitch had invested a substantial amount of money in infrastructure for the team, but is it really more than $200 million?! Because that's what McCoskey is saying in this article.

I also think that the more ultra-talented you are and the more the world bends to your whims to accommodate you, the more you believe your situation is an immutable birthright, the more you believe the status quo is awesome, and the more you want to maintain that. I don't believe racial or ethnic background factors into that thinking to a great degree.

Or "Putin Potatoes". One or the other ...

Also if you have a schozz. Don't forget the schnozz. 😕

Elections have consequences

Did they crib that guy on the right from some antisemitic Nazi poster from the 1930s?

Given the damage he has already done in a single month that will take years or even decades to recover from, it is hard to imagine today just how different America will be even a year from today, never mind four years.

I don’t think it will be an explicit withdrawal. I think it will be more of a quiet quit. Same way as the US not explicitly joining Russia in the war against Ukraine.

The ultimate DEI hire based on identity and not qualifications.

Probably because the Fetter team are one of the few that will keep eyes on him and fix where he goes wrong. The other teams might have been like, hey, man, you’re making good money here, you don’t need Remedial Pitching 101.

Looks like some of the “rubes” might be starting to see through the “god thing”.

Just having a vulva doesn't earn anyone chivalry.

Here come another Trump pardon.

And so it begins! I love that I can use FElon's own platform to announce it here.

Ladies and gentleman, our new deputy FBI director.

The Fort Knox thing is almost certainly a statement of intention, and not just to steal the gold, which they could easily do without announcing it beforehand, but also to claim there is gold missing and then blame the usual woke suspects for stealing it: Biden, Harris, Hillary, Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Jack Smith, Letitia James, George Soros, Zelenskyy, the mainstream media, left-wing academics, BLM, Antifa, you get the idea.

From the Department of Well, Duh:

Not for nothing, Israel also sided with Russia in the vote against Ukraine.

No wonder ...

They can't destroy government from within without hiring dangerously unqualified sycophants.

I noticed this the other day, too. As of last season, about 32% of MLB players are Latin, another 6% African American, and 3% Asian, which adds up to about 42% non-white. The Tigers projected 26-man roster as of this morning is 21 white (81%), three Latin (12%), one Asian, and one African American (remember, Flaherty identifies as black). And one of those Latins is a hip pointer away from being replaced by another (sub-replacement) white guy. I'm willing to believe that this was a random consequence of front office philosophies in rebuilding the organization and not an explicit ethnic cleansing of the roster. That said, the paucity of obviously African Americans on the team can't be helping with rebuilding fandom among black Detroiters.

Can you imagine if the Eagles had actually accepted the invite? Trump would have spent the entire time talking about how the city they play for stole the entire 2020 election from him.

This is definitely where this sentiment got, if not exactly started, then supercharged. If it were George Bush Sr. who'd said that instead of Ronald Reagan, this country would probably be a very different place.

Everything in America is essentially under the supervision of billionaires, one way or the other. The $64 question is how direct a hand the Trump government will have it the development of AI.

There is nothing Zelenskyy could ever do to help his case with Trump, since Trump is already "дело верное" for Putin, but I would say that Zelenskyy's decision to publicly snipe back at Trump put Trump off track and caused him to lash out, which hurts Putin's efforts to get the American people on Russia's side, or at least to forget about Ukraine. Trump is more openly exposing himself as Putin's stooge, and people are pushing back against that, which we've been seeing in these Republican town hall videos. So, Andrew Kramer of the Times, to the degree that the Trump regime is responsive to US public opinion, seems to me what Zelenskyy is doing might actually help Ukraine.
