I have tix for Yankees Game 4 and Liberty Game 4 so I guess the question is are either of my beloved wildly inconsistent teams going to let me experience the playoffs live

this is why i think Gerrit Cole is getting into the HOF regardless of how the back half of his 30s goes, when he's healthy he's a 200+ innings guy and that's rare in the Blake Snell Era

being in your 30s is so weird because there are times when you legitimately feel old, stagnant, etc. and then you look at anyone who's ever done anything cool and by and large they were your age or older when they first started doing cool stuff (athletes excepted)

Gavin Newsome has said his son is a fan of Charlie Kirk Andrew Tate and now Clavicular. You should probably stop running for office and spend time with your son

I'm really glad that Code Switch included this part of my interview, because I think these are the points that so often get lost in the discussion of trans panic and why the WNBA might be an ideal target for those anti-trans groups to latch onto. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...
We're talking about actual bigotry and the belief that this group of people shouldn't have, like, the same human rights as another group. It legitimizes them. And so the WNBA is a big platform for them to be able to do that. But I think what's actually really insidious about being the target is that transphobia is rooted in white supremacist ideas of who is allowed to be a woman and what a woman should look like. Those beliefs have, you know, negatively impacted Black and brown and non-Western women throughout history.

So what you have is a league in the WNBA that is full of Black women, 7-foot-tall women, masculine women, women who don't fit kind of the traditional markers of conventional white Western ideas of womanhood. And so I don't think it's surprising that transphobic ideas around the acceptable kind of woman are coming and impacting this league.

And I think the last piece that I will say is, I think, in some ways, the lack of visibility that the league had for a lot of years really protected it. Like, it wasn't as successful as it should have been because of racism and homophobia and misogyny. And once it becomes successful, the flip side of that is it really does become a different kind of victim of those ideas. And the fact that you have a league that is all women, predominantly Black women, largely queer women who have been successful and they don't need men to do it, and their product is not necessarily for men. I think that's a threat to the status quo. And so it's not just about protecting women's sports. It's actually about dismantling them from the inside.

I have no idea how to have this conversation within Jewish circles but the very obvious path we're on is that the ADL is devaluing the concept of antisemitism by making it synonymous with Ms Rachel and Macklemore, spending down the capital of American Jews in service of a genocidal apartheid state

Governor Abigail Spanberger quietly ended a rulemaking process initiated in the waning days of former-governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration. The rule would have limited transgender students' ability to play sports and use facilities. www.wvtf.org/news/20... #transgender

Macklemore says “free Palestine” and the ADL applauds him losing gigs for it. Kanye West puts out a song called “Heil Hitler” the org can’t be bothered to have an opinion on it. Instead, they insert themselves into the concert venues to do trainings on hate symbols.
In addition, the ADL has been working to put together a "best practices" guide which will include training venue workers on anti-Semitic symbols, statements and other totems. Those materials will be available to workers at both of Ye's shows.

two things are true at once - 1) Macklemore has done things that indicate that he might be an anti-semite or hold inappropriate stereotypical views of Jewish people 2) there was nothing really wrong with what he actually said at the concert and kicking him off the tour is worrying censorship

As I said yesterday: everything MLB has been promoting in connection with 9/11 this week reads like marketing intended to center Major League Baseball in the story of 9/11 rather than anything connected to a national tragedy. It's as gross as hell and the league ought to be ashamed of itself.
