To me, if the agreement is like those made between MLB other teams before this season, the most important part of the Tigers’ partnering with MLB is going to be losing all the in-game gambling odds, drop-ins, billboards, promos, and the like.

If this is your way of telling us what Bad Bunny did last night is not music, then I truly don't know how to respond to that other than to say that could not be more wrong. Please tell me I am misunderstanding what you’re trying to say.

“Pro-growth” sounds suspiciously like anti-labor, and “deregulatory” like anti-consumer.

All due respect to your brother, I’m not talking about technical education.

I blame the American educational system, or lack thereof.

I'm old enough to remember when gambling was bad because criminals ran it.

Although they are indisputably the top two in Michigan in terms of sales.

I get ESPN unlimited with my DIRECTV subscription, so I think I’m good. I also get MLB TV with my DirecTV extra inning subscription, so I can see it on TV or online for a single subscription.

Yes, minus the grin and run

I believe WBC is banning him for cannabis use because multiple countries in the tournament still criminalize marijuana use.

Ooh, so close!

I have done it multiple times. I just haven’t done it on every post. It’s emoji for when you say something controversial and follow it up with *ducks*, as in, someone is gonna throw something at you for saying it.

If this is actually true, I cannot imagine that MLB simply doesn’t care if they lose fans.

I am not putting ducks on every post.

Yeah, she is definitely impressed with herself.

Apologies for the source, but …

I also think so many of them are compromised.

I posted this in congressional elections thread a few weeks ago. I went back to review it, and I still think it all holds water. The only thing I might add is that, in the month or two preceding the actual election, the Trump regime might dramatically soften their ground game when it comes to immigration, and also, do something dramatic to address consumer prices, maybe even send (or promise to send) a $1,000 check from the federal government in the names of their Republican congresspeople, or their Democratic congresspeople's Republican opponents, to sow doubt among independents and suppress their urgency to want to vote.

I don't know that Trump wants the Post to shut down, necessarily. I think he just wants to make sure that the local paper is on board with him. He can't have a major journalistic institution taking potshots at him from his own backyard. As for serious reform of media ownership, the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine was the "Big Bang" of media deregulation ("television is just another appliance—it’s a toaster with pictures"), which led to The Telecommunications Act of 1996, the most significant ownership loosening in history. We had those rules for a reason. Now we can clearly see what those reasons were.
