🫡Liam Hendriks on a fabulous career. Incedible pitcher and an even better person. His Hercu-Liam performance in the 2020 Wild Card Series will stick with me forever. Looking forward to what he and his wife Kristi get up to next.

This movie is hilarious, moving, and kind of unhinged? It will make your day/week/month better if you go see it, I promise.

“You cannot engage with Newsom in good faith, because what faith can you have in a shell of a person who so baldly pursues wealth, power, the next shiniest thing?” Nice work. His first Chronicle quote in 1991 was bragging about giving wine discounts to his wealthy benefactors. Has anything changed?

The very first line is a lie, and we all know it. *None* of this was ever designed to help us, which is why it hurts us and we hate it. It really is that simple, but the media simply cannot bring themselves to say it.

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

“In other adaptations, Scrooge is kind of an asshole, and then the rest of the characters are benevolent, perfect people. And it was really our goal to try to balance that out to say that there’s much more of a gray area in the story,” West tells EW. “We want to give Scrooge logic and a good argument, so when he is making an argument about something, he’s not wrong.”

Parton spoke in support of gay people for close to forty years. I am old enough to vividly remember the limb she was out on in doing so. So let me put it another way: We may not know what her politics were, but we certainly know what they weren't.

The framing below the headline (very likely not chosen by the writer) is symptomatic of everything wrong with tech journalism. “What can AI learn from her death?” Really? That’s the question? How can we turn this woman’s pain and this family’s unspeakable loss into more AI *training data*???
