What in the heck is an Alen Hanson?

All M's. Eight good answers, and one where I just couldn't think of a better one :/

So many comments on LL I want to smack right now.

I had heard of him before the last few weeks and months, but that was pretty much it. I guess he really got thrust into the spotlight when Charlie Kirk was murdered? (He was scheduled to debate Kirk at a future date)

From the couple clips I'd seen, dude seemed like kind of an asshole. Never watched

8 M's, with a fairly obvious non-applicable square. For that square, I went with a guy who had one of his esoteric records tied by a Mariner (most home runs in a season age 40+ - 29 - tied by Raúl Ibáñez).

Guess I shoulda dug deeper for middle-middle. Little surprised by Senior's score.

Haven't you heard, Parker? Anyone left of Maggie Thatcher is basically Chairman Mao.

I really wanted to get back into hockey after the Olympics, but damn if hockey isn't bound and determined not to have me as a fan.

I knew Orioles and obviously White Sox (his peak). Guess I should brush up.

He was so bad as an M 🤣

This is a shitpost, right? "Verily, verily, I say unto you" ?

Miller pitched? Damn, that's another better answer than I had.

You mean you leave people in a land of confusion?

Damn, I didn't place Baldwin as a Twin. That *really* woulda done better for me than Cruz.

Boomstick wrecked my score :/

How do the Rockies' pics also manage to look like they're from the 70s/80s?

Can't believe I missed using Manto

Unless there's another SEA/TEX/LAD 3B obvious enough to qualify as bait 😁

I see we both avoided the bait at middle-right 👍

All M's; another shagadelic grid.

I wasn't around for yesterday's, so I'll post it now too. It's also all M's. El Presidente rides again (rode again?)

Today's @mlbguessr.bsky.social . I'm happy I got the location for #5 right, even as I didn't get the occasion (and consequently, date) right.

Overall score got worse (the West Coast woke up and used Josh) but day-um, look at Olson.

Is there a different social handle?

I certainly *thought* it was a respectable outlet. It's why I *was* following, but I couldn't continue with it after ^^ that shit

The Observer view on Equality Act ruling: A dignified compromise that respects the rights of everyone | Editorial The supreme court judgment gives protections to women at the same level as other groups

You mean this Guardian? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Make a buck however you need to, I ain't against it. (If you only knew who I worked for!) But all I can think from that headline at that outlet is it's in line with their viewpoint.

Fun fact: "profound autism" is not and never has been a medical diagnosis.

Did his estate consent? If they did, I don't think it's any of our place to call them wrong for doing so.

At the same time, please let's not normalize this.

I'm reminded of this youtu.be/b27iLcoPHTg?...

That logic holds if you think Trump cares more about other peoples' lives than his own self-aggrandizement.

Noted, thanks.

I was very saddened to learn recently -- and not *precisely* on the occasion you're thinking -- that the NHL is ludicrously MAGA-infused. Like, as much or more than NASCAR.

I'm not a subscriber, so I haven't read the full article. Is "Nina Richards" itself a pseudonym? If it's her post-transition name, then it's her "real" name, even if some piece of plastic has a different one.

What Toney did *is* worse, and this isn't some purity test for Jon (it's doubtful he even sees this). I don't tremendously care about any action, including no action at all, being taken.

But it's a pretty striking reminder of not wanting to celebrate someone who later turned out to be trash.
