Yesterday I saw a batter appeal a call to the “robo-ump.” I ran and hid under the buffet table in my luxury box because I thought the ghost of an umpire was calling balls and strikes.

Manipulating the truth is not restoration — it’s revision | Opinion

“Earlier this year, the National Park Service tried and failed to erase history in Philadelphia. Now it seeks to soften and sanitize George Washington’s deep involvement in slavery,” writes Michael Coard, a civil rights attorney and founder of the Avenging the Ancestors Coalition.

Just watched a highlight of Mo’s 2nd goal, a view from the other end of the pitch at field level - Harry Darling raised both his hands up to celebrate before Oscar had even crossed it for the tap-in 🤣💛💚#ncfc

That was the first completely incompetent sequence of defending that I’ve seen from us in 2026. I think it was Darling and Cordoba who could have easily intercepted the transitional pass through our midfield - each of them seemed to leave it assuming the other would get it #ncfc

3 members of Ironworkers Local 401 died on the job recently in a catastrophic construction accident in Philadelphia. This is my union’s statement on their passing.

Israel bombed Tehran's Rafi-Nia synagogue in the middle of the Jewish holiday of Passover. The attack revealed, to a shocking degree, Zionism's willingness to treat Jewish life as disposable in the service of its ideological project.

Hanging with the hocumpoke.

Time with the timberdoodle.

I know we’re talking about Budapest as a model, not Prague, but I would also strongly support a defenestration platform.

I think he largely wants to use his illegal war to justify a massive military budget that will mainly end up in his own pockets but in either case, absolutely no f’ing way,

How much of the percentage-based swings are due to low-propensity voters sitting this one out? Have the gross vote totals for Dems increased substantially in these races, or has this mainly been highly-motivated Dems turning out in an off-cycle election while MAGA voters sit it out?

I definitely understand the “the juice isn’t worth the squeeze” assessment of any edit button.

Would it be technically possible to have an edit button that is disabled as soon as a post gets a single like or response? I think that would address the chaos worries, wouldn’t it?

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon.

Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

If they play another 4th of July extra-innings game that ends at 4:00 AM, the Braves should give one of these to every fan who stays for the fireworks show.

Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

The feline community definitely appears to have transformed the sparkleball from…whatever its original function was into a primarily feline-oriented object.

Best of luck to the panther on weathering the storm.

I believe that this was from the period when the Iranian national football team were known as the Flock of Seagulls.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We're fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

You can't reform this.

Today we commemorate the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.

“I hate you, you hate me
We’re a racist kleptocracy…”

CLUB STATEMENT undefined

I first leaned towards thinking that Farage's disastrous photo-op at Portman Road was due to incompetence (and Reform tricking the club into letting it happen).

But that was before Ipswich Town FC released this statement. Clearly, they knew what would be staged, and went along with it.

He & his entourage must have been there for at least 30 minutes - it’s a guided tour, right? Wouldn’t a club employee at least text their boss “Hey, is he allowed to take campaign photos while he’s here…?”

Like I said, I wouldn’t trust any spokesperson person for those fascists. But does that mean that this “senior club official’s ” friend told some story to get Farage in the door, knowing the plan? “It’s okay he just wants to come visit he’s a big supporter nothing will happen”? A bit amateur hour

FWIW, The Athletic says that Reform showed their reporter evidence that “an associate of a senior club official” invited Reform and Farage to the stadium. I wouldn’t take a Reform statement at face value, even with what they’re calling proof, but still… #ncfc #itfc

So I’m really looking forward to this run in. Not because it’ll end in a playoff place, but because it won’t. I think what we’ll see is a team of #ncfc players who will work & fight as hard together for 3 points in April as they did in Dec when it was all on the line. That’s PC’s winning culture

Frankly, it wasn’t like that last season under JHT. Once our winter hot streak ended and it became clear we weren’t reaching the playoffs or getting relegated, a good many players clearly lost focus and discipline. I think that’s why BK fired JHT when he did. #ncfc

they simply want to win the next match purely for its own sake. Not because they need 3 points to avoid relegation, or to get to the playoffs, or finish in the top 1/2 of the table. They want to win because they want to win. Period. #ncfc
