‘NAZA,’ the documentary in which two dozen Israeli military personnel admit to committing war crimes and genocide in Gaza, is selling out theaters. Whether it can advance the case for genocide may be more complicated.

BlueSky is the perfect place to find that sliver of the universe of politically engaged left-leaning people who ALSO love baseball, so let me note that the two times the Rays have gone to the World Series we’ve had a blue wave.

Steve Wruble met shelter dog Missy while waiting in line at a Starbucks in New York City. She was being carried in a backpack by Bryan Reisberg, who takes shelter dogs out to help them get adopted. Three days later, Wruble took Missy home.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

Love that the Spirit players can bring their babies and a caregiver with them when they travel, but I wish this article made it more clear this isn't just a "league policy," it's a contract provision the players negotiated for themselves through their union, the NWSL Players Association.
