Incoherent nonsense from Hentges. I’d say “don’t quit your day job,” but, well

“It’s just something that I feel like I was forced to support when I don’t morally support it,” Hentges said. “There wasn’t hatred behind it. I think that’s kind of something that’s misinterpreted. I don’t hate the LGBTQ community. It’s just something I believed and talked with teammates and family, and they supported it.”

The baseball gods after the Giants run out Ryan Borucki again

Cinematic shot of a dark-skinned man (Wesley Snipes) with a small, tidy mustache and a large hoop earring, wearing a suit and wide-brimmed hat. He's holding out a large pistol with both hands, which is out of focus in the foreground of the shot. He wears a stoic expression but tears are streaming down both cheeks.

I dated a 5'6 guy who'd taunt every jacked, 6'3 bro he met until they'd pull their fist back to beat him up, whereupon my ex would go "heyheyheyyy c'maaahn I'm a little guy, I'm just a little guyy, noo, it's also my birthday, I'm a little birthday boyy" & it somehow always worked

Wanting to engage earnestly here, particularly with this passage. What would say to people who agree with the imperative that the Dems must move from humdrum to reconstruction (I agree), but do not believe the Dem leadership is trustworthy to the task (I fear)? How to engage with that tension?

How we turn the humdrum governance party into the reconstruction party is the key question of our moment, more important even than determining what they must do once they are willing to do it. Primaries are one tool, both as voters but also as a potential candidate yourself. Liberal Currents is of course engaged on another front—persuasion, aimed both at fellow voters, more influential figures, as well as current and future elected Democrats.

One thing we must not do to influence intraparty politics is withdraw our vote from the general election (never mind cast it for the personality cult, or a minor party rendered worthless by our system). Even the worst Democrat is better than the best personality cultist. If you care about democracy and human rights, you must, in fact, vote blue no matter who.

If you publicly threaten not to vote Democratic in the general, at best you are engaging in a bit of showboating to serve your own personal ambition within the party, at the expense of more important goals. At worst, you lack true commitment to defeating the personality cult at all, an effort that requires us to act as a party rather than as eccentric individual voices. These are not mutually incompatible possibilities.

Twitter exchange between Keith Rabois (@rabois) and Nate Silver (@NateSilver538).

Keith: you are a buffoon. Minimum Trump win in FL is 8 points and more like 10-14.

Nate: Dude you've gotta stop huffing the Twitter vibes. How much money are you willing to bet on a Trump +8 point spread in Florida?

Keith: $100k

Nate: Have your lawyer draw up a quick contract and it's a deal. NATE DOT SILVER DOT MEDIA AT GMAIL DOC COM. No contract, no bet, because you've been nutty lately and are a payment risk.

Who said that "confederate organizations" celebrate the civil war? See, there's where your systemic bigotry comes into play. You make assumptions.

Would it be okay for Auschwitz to be bulldozed under and no one remember it? That's what YOU are suggesting.

A modification of the Drake "Hotline Bling" meme, using LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Geordi, a black man with short dark hair and wearing a black and yellow ship's uniform and a visor that covers his eyes, is gesturing in both frames. On top, he is holding up a hand in a "stop" motion next to the word "KALSHI." On bottom, he is pointing towards someone and tipping his head approvingly next to the word "KASHI"

I mean, he's probably on a golf course more often than anywhere else. A plurality if not a majority.

Screenshot from The Simpsons. Mr. Burns (an old man with a long nose and balding) is wearing an old-timey baseball uniform, and pointing in a know-it-all fashion at Daryl Strawberry, a tall and muscular Black professional baseball player wearing a modern uniform and carrying a bat on his shoulder. Mr. Smithers (Burns' assistant) stands by with his arms folded behind his back), and in the background you can see a baseball dugout and filled grandstands, so it's clear that a baseball game is in progress. The bottom text reads "It's called playing the percentages."
