A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Catalan Clark giving a signed ball to Jack Smith saying, “Thanks for coming—Go Hawkeyes!” would be a very nice way to keep Schmitt’s idiocy in the news. #VoteBlue

So, #horror fans out there, I would love some feedback. Been a fan of the genre since the ‘80s. Just watched #Backrooms. Outstanding atmospherics & setup. But plot felt like a derivative version of the classic novel #HouseofLeaves + David Lynch wannabe. What did I miss? Should I watch again?

I give NBC real kudos bringing in broadcasters from the teams for these #MLB #WildCard games. While ideally I’d love for folks to be able to choose their local broadcast team, this is a really nice middle ground; particularly for viewers who are not fans of the teams. Fox & TBS can learn from it.

As Theurmer Jr writes:

The Park Service already has an appropriate site for a baseball game at a historic site it oversees in California. A game was recently played at the Manzanar National Historic Site where thousands of Japanese Americans were interned during WWII.

In 2024, the Little Tokyo Giantsplayed the Lodi JACL Templars, the first time the field had been used since the Manzanar camp was closed in 1945.

With that in mind, if MLB is committed to bringing baseball to Wyoming, let me recommend building a field and playing a game at the site of the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center between Cody and Powell. During World War II when Japanese Americans were confined there, Heart Mountain’s team met Gila River in 1944. The all-star teams played 13 games over 15 days to determine the winner.

It would be great to see MLB call attention to the Center and the history it preserves.

I am not a “nature” person. My friends I worked with in the enviro community oft teased me because I’m a “city guy.” I said, “I understand the importance of nature, just keep it away from me.” The fact that #MLB can’t get even that distinction is a blot on its soul, and a stain on the game I love.
