Spent the day in Orland Park talking with the Chicago Salmon vintage base ball club. Highlight: a crack of the bat followed by a crow from the rooster in the petting zoo.

Look the JK Rowling thing is pretty cut and dry she is still personally being directly enriched by consumption of Harry Potter and then using those riches to actively participate in a campaign against trans people This ain't a case of a problematic author, it's material support to terrorism

MLB and the White Sox should be paying his bills, but he shouldn’t even have those bills bc no one should have medical debt like this; it shouldn’t exist.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.

A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.

Updating my chart of March Madness wins and losses for both brackets, and found something wild. The 2024 Women's Tourney had just one upset in the first round (#11 Middle Tennessee over Louisville). The average number of first-round upsets in the women's bracket since 2008 is just about 5.5.

In the early '70s, the White Sox could've moved to Seattle or Tampa Bay. Then Dick Allen came to town. “We drew a lot of Afro-Americans and Latinos to Sox Park. It’s the most minorities I’ve ever seen in the stands in my whole career…and that includes LA, St. Louis and Philly.”

How much are eggs near you? Next time you're at the store, take a picture of the egg price and send it to the Sun-Times along with the store's location and your name. It could be used for a story on the cost of eggs. 🥚
