I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.

Remember, MLB wants you to be mad at the Dodgers for getting all the good players so you'll support a lockout and a salary cap that only benefits the owners of clubs that didn't want to pay the money YOU spend on baseball for players to play on YOUR team

Any other designers using Harvest get an email today that their monthly fees are going up more than 900%!?!? They want to charge $123.96 per month for a service that I was paying $12.79. For a time tracker!

On Instagram, the account "Prince and Princess of Wales" posts a picture. It shows Prince William in a gray Glen check sport coat, light blue shirt, and bright blue hard hat. He's supposedly hammering a nail into the wall.  A close up of the photo shows he's not holding the nail, only pretending to.

It really is magical. Once a week or so I go back and listen to a show I was at. I always saw Aadam at the sound boards from Metro to Schubas and every venue in between. I didn't realize one day what a blessing it would be to my memory.

Ekiban at Camden Yards 🤤 They had a pop up spot last year and it looks like the O's have given them a permanent space now. Their menu is stellar (the tofu and ramen broccoli are my favs).

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

Trump said we “can’t take care of daycare” because “we’re fighting wars.” Hello? The $200B he wants for his war could provide every child in the country with a free school lunch for a year & have $170 billion to spare. Trump can help people here at home — he’s just choosing not to.

The government thought 600,000 jobs had been created last year (Biden created *twelve million* in his first year). Revised figures show only 180,000 jobs were created last year. The American economy collapsed in 2025, it's gradually dawning on the statistics. www.huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-...

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000
