Screenshot from a post in r/JewishLeft below. Indeed.
“ If Israel is for all Jews, than how can it remove citizenship of Jewish citizens it disagrees with? Where do people go? Both Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor seem to be at least third generation Israeli. If one doesn't make oneself a good Jew, then, they deserve statelessness and galut, is what the Medinat is saying. We talk about how we wanted a home with no conditions for our permanent safety, but it seems we're still copying the people we lived amongst who gave us conditional citizenships and tolerated us only if we toed the line and knew our place. That is not a country for Jews. It's just a country for Jews They Like.”

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

Random loose thought: Do Craig Counsell's aggressive moves to take out starters hurt his team's in the postseason because the relievers are more rundown? Thinking about Holmes today on 80 pitches, let him go 7 and save a reliever! I genuinely don't know, so please correct me if there I'm wrong

For those confused, the WAFCON three-way tiebreakers only take into account games with the teams in question. Malawi are topping the group on goals scored in matches against Nigeria and Zambia, because pts and GD are level. Explanation below ⬇️

Shame it isn’t a full stadium for a World Cup quarterfinal. Volunteers plugging gaps where they can but there aren’t enough of them. Perhaps the Colombians didn’t show up after their team didn’t make it? Or maybe it’s too expensive? Either way, a shame.

The ICC gives 80% of its revenue to India. It doesn't hold random draws for its World Cups to make sure that India and Pakistan will play each other in the same group. More specifically, the Canadian cricket president just fed the country after his house was attacked 2x by gangsters. Fifa is worse

Brief rant: Yes it's cool that Brunson took less money so the Knicks could build a champion under the salary cap. But he shouldn't have *had* to. Salary caps are just tools billionaires use to suppress wages, and no one gets upset because the labor (pro athletes) make so much money. 1/5

So apparently Christy Mathewson was the early 20th century version of Greg Maddux. From a link I got from somewhere where Eddie Collins talks pitchers:
N CONTRAST to Walsh is Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants. I would call Matty the clairvoyant of all pitchers. He seems to possess an uncanny power of divining what you are expecting; and then he serves up the exact opposite. Neither his fast ball, nor his curve, is remarkable, indeed they are only ordinary, but there is something about Mathewson, though, —his bearing, his manner,—that gives you the impression that you are going up against Gibraltar.great pitcher, although his other big asset 15 his control. By comparison his style of balls is insignificant, for he has neither the fast one of Johnson nor the spitter of Walsh, but Matty comes nearer to putting a ball where he wants to than anyone else pitching to-day. With this ability he wastes few balls. Indeed, he prides himself on being able to go through a whole game and throw only eighty or ninety times, while most pitchers use well over one hundred. I understand that Mathewson has pitched a game in which he threw only sixty-nine. So you see, in this way he conserves his pitching strength.Mathewson's brains really make him a

Israeli police forcibly removed someone's kippah (Jewish head covering), and cut off a piece of it. Because it had a Palestinian flag. In any other country, police forcibly removing and cutting a kippah would rightfully be condemned as antisemitic. It's antisemitic this time as well.
Screenshot of a post in Hebrew, from @AlonLeeGreen - his name written out in Hebrew and in Arabic.

Below the text it has 2 photos of the kippah. On the left is a whole black kippah, with an Israeli and Palestinian flag on either side, and 2 clips. The right photo is the same kippah with the Palestinian flag cut off.

The text reads in Hebrew (translation below):
‏זו המדינה שאנחנו חיים בה: ד"ר אלכס סינקלר ישב בבית קפה במודיעין. לקוחה אחרת הבחינה שעל הכיפה שלו יש דגלי ישראל ופלסטין ביחד, סמל לשלום, והזמינה את המשטרה. המשטרה הגיעה והודיעה לו ש"הכיפה שלו נגד החוק". משסירב להסירה, נקלחה הכיפה בכוח, והוחזרה לו אחרי שדגל פלסטין נגזר ממנה. זהו.
Translation:
This is the country we live in: Dr. Alex Sinclair was sitting in a café in Modiin. Another customer noticed that on his kippah there were Israeli and Palestinian flags together, a symbol of peace, and called the police. The police arrived and informed him that "his kippah was against the law." When he refused to remove it, the kippah was forcibly taken from him, and it was returned to him after the Palestinian flag was cut off it.

That's it.

150 years ago today, the National League opened play in Philadelphia and a new era in baseball began. Read SABR’s recap of this historic game on April 22, 1876: sabr.org/gamesproj/ga...
Historical marker placed at the site of Philadelphia’s Jefferson Street Grounds and Athletic Park, seen in 2017. (Courtesy of Matt Albertson)

The marker reads:

JEFFERSON STREET BALLPARKS

The Jefferson Street Grounds and later Athletic Park hosted several monumental games here. Early civil rights activist Octavius Catto captained the Pythians against the white Olympic ball club in
1869—the first interracial baseball game. The first National League game was also played here in 1876. In operation between 1864 and 1891, the venues saw baseball evolve from an amateur pastime into a competitive professional sport.
