Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

I said this on the other site (sorry) but: Something particularly bad about that Cuomo post is that it's spreading a lot of misinformation about NYC housing policies and I worry that it will turn people who don't live here against rent stabilization, which is a lifesaving program for so many NYers.

Not “misleading.” But keep looking at the thesaurus, and the right word will appear.

"As you know, we inherited, from the last administration, an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare."
— President Trump
This is misleading.
President Trump inherited an economy in solid shape, by most metrics.
The number of job vacancies is no longer at a record high and hiring has slowed, but layoffs overall remain low.
After rising last summer, the unemployment rate has stabilized at 4 percent, not too far from a roughly half-century low. Wages continue to rise, too, even if at a more modest pace and growth has stayed resilient.
In the final quarter of 2024, U.S. gross domestic product, adjusted for inflation, grew at a 2.3 percent annual rate. For the year as a whole, measured from the end of 2023 to the end of 2024, G.D.P increased 2.5 percent.

Costco pharmacy is selling single dose levonorgestrel emergency contraception ("morning after pill") for $5.99 per dose. This is a product with a fairly long shelf life and they don't seem to mind selling it to people who clearly don't need it. No prescription needed.
