Cook Political moved Trump from Lean Antichrist to Solid Antichrist.

After Criticizing Pope, Trump Posts Image of Himself as a Jesus-Like Figure

After Criticizing Pope, Trump Posts Image of Himself as a Jesus-Like Figure www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u... It's not Jesus Like. The jigs been up for years. Trump is a pathological narcissist rotting from the inside out. He's Jim Jones, who led poor, desperate people to a vat of poisoned cool-aide.

My bad 🙄🙄🙄

This is fantastic

RIP Scrap Iron

Dementia Don logic

Strait of Hormuz blockade strategy just dropped.

If you’re JD Vance, you might realistically assume that now is the *only* chance you will ever have to become President (by leading invocation of 25th) … you have no hope in 28, and even less after that. Strike now or retire to Sunday morning talk shows for the remainder of your career.

Noted. 🤡

I’m guessing that trend will not last much longer. Trump will try and blame Hegseth for Iran and push him out the door next, although Tulsi Gabbard apparently is also in the running for next to go

Five in a row and in first place

Trans rights are human rights

Classy. 🤡

The original DC comic

Just quickly glancing at all rosters, among the missing and presumably wounded are Pecko (not surprising given I know there was something bothering him in ST), Forcucci (that’s a really loooong TJS recovery which is concerning) and Tredwell

As does mustard, if for no other reason it lasts much longer in the fridge compared to your pantry

Recent news re Chas and his attempt to make the Cubs OD roster

Excellent news

I disagree about Cole heating up. Yeah, he’s gotten a few more hits over his last 8 games but his already terrible K rate has significantly worsened. He struck out 7 times in his first 8 games but 13 times in his last 8 games. No way he makes the opening day roster

Framber doing Framber things for the Tigers this spring

I always cackle at the bottom three every time I see this chart

It’s the equivalent of getting into a fistfight then yelling, “Not the face!”

Spring breakout game today.

Let’s hope he can find more of the plate this season #Astros #Minors

I use Apple News+ too to read Astros articles.

Thanks for the heads up about Baseball Prospectus. I hadn’t been aware they were on there

Catchers used to learn the umpire. With robo-umps, now they’re studying Jose Altuve and Aaron Judge Some thought robo-umps would kill pitch framing. Instead, catchers are making it a weapon, learning each hitter's zone to use against them.

Pitch framing becomes even more important in the two challenge ABS system? This article makes the case that will indeed be the result. Along with more gamesmanship by catchers

Ah, I missed that post…thanks

Excellent writeup.

Nothing from Tommy Farmer stuck out for you?

What's really funny about this is that Paul Skenes was at a service academy for two years. He had every chance to be A Troop™ but decided he would rather make a lot of money instead.

A man-made global stagflation crisis is on the horizon. And when I say “man-made” I mean one man.
