Your @MLB leader in SLG and OPS:

Is there a way to turn off the AI in gmail?

It is annoying the fuck out of me.

I'm very late in finishing Bridgerton season 4, but I have to say that I think it's a nice portrayal of a bisexual person who ends up in an m/f relationship.

Do I think it should win any awards? No. But I liked it.

Is this a niche take? I kind of feel like maybe it is.

Hey everyone! You have until MARCH 30, 2026 to file a claim in the Anthropic Settlement.

If you have questions about filing--or if you aren't sure if you've filed correctly--call the settlement administrator at 1 877-206-2314.

Periodically someone will be all, "WHY DO ADULTS READ YA" and IMO the answer is that YA is great because it manages to have characters who have big emotions about what are generally low stakes (and usually relatable) dramas like being mad at your parents or having a crush

If this is you, I want you to know that the amount per work is very likely to be > $3000. Half that if you're splitting with your publisher.

If you entered a claim and didn't get an email with the subject "Your claim #XXXXXXXXXX has been received" from info@anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com with a claim number it might not have gone through.

ISU: our scores are very manipulable just so you know

Also ISU: and there’s nothing we love more than handing it to abusers, abuse apologists, and rape deniers

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.

Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.

Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

Lost Hal Steinbrenner's vote when he said NYers shouldn't ask for little and expect less.

SILVERBORN, Jessica Townsend

I've long thought that the Briderton series should just go with the ethos of "this society has always been racially integrated, that's just how it is. Alternate history!"

Instead they try to make pseudo-rational backstory explanations for it that are just in very poor taste.

I really think it's important for these millionaire athletes, none of whom are children, to feel great shame for being interested in Adin Ross to begin with. Mookie Betts, you are 33 years old. You have a wife and children. You should not know who Adin Ross is.

No notes.

Ariel photograph of the AIDS Memorial Quilt stretched out on park in front of the US Capitol. Late 1980s.

These are the "good and decent people" who didn't survive the Reagan presidency.

Hot take!

Um, yes, I'm okay seeing a PCP before a specialist. Assuming that I ACTUALLY get to see a specialist without having to pay a specialist out of pocket, plus literally thousands of dollars for testing that my HMO wouldn't do even though they should have done it.

Ask me how I know.

This pretty much happens for every major piece of queer media. There are variations, to be sure, but A LOT of this is pretty much copy and pasted from like three other properties.

Jenn's my agent, and she knows what she's talking about as well as anyone else in the industry. Read her Tumblr!

Ad-driven social media platforms pushing baked goods on me gives me a small bit of hope that maybe these platforms don't know me as well as I fear.

Becuase I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease.

Writing question: Do the kids today know what Rick-rolling is?

“How are sales?”

Question: Is it possible to enjoy Heated Rivalry if you don't gaf about hockey?

We're officially in Hanukkah season, so I will promote RACHEL FRIEDMAN AND EIGHT NOT-PERFECT NIGHTS OF HANUKKAH. If you know a kid that celebratrates Hanukkah and is reading chapter books, please consider!

Hanukkah is a holiday for fun and shenanigans.

The AI slop situation on Facebook is truly out of hand.

I now REGULARLY see shit that has so-called "Aaron Judge quotes" accompanied by pictures of regular-sized, generic white guys.

Is that what AI thinks Aaron Judge looks like?!

Today on Threads, I learned that Wicked ruined The Wizard of Oz.

In other news, pizza ruined chicken teriyaki and football ruined rhythmic gymnastics.
