“Young lover”? @cnn.com wtf are you doing? She was 15(!!!) and he was 27(!!) when he started abusing her.

So gross

“Assistant U.S. Attorney Torey B.
Cummings told jurors that Farwell was supposed to be a mentor to Birchmore but first had sex with her when she was 15
and he was 27. Cummings said he exploited her for years - sometimes meeting Birchmore for sex while he was on duty - and ultimately killed her after she became pregnant and he feared exposure of their secret relationship.”

This is not actually the headline, @espn.com

Screenshot of ESPN app showing the final score in which the game clock hit zero with WMU winning 12-7, but then referees inexplicably put one second on the clock and let the Wolverines have another play, in which they scored on a Hail Mary. Final score 12-13 WMU over UM

Independent journalism matters, y’all. While the Oregonian parrots conservative taking and/or ignores real issues, the @portlandmercury.com is suing a corrupt city councilor. www.portlandmercury.com/note-from-th...

Screenshot of Portland Mercury article:

The Mercury takes that responsibility seriously.
On September 1, the Mercury filed a lawsuit against the City of Portland and City Councilor Dan Ryan for withholding public records dating back to January 2025.
We request elected officials' records all the time.
But we were interested in these specific records after an image obtained by the Mercury last November showed a local real estate broker sending talking points to Councilor Ryan, which he repeated from the dais minutes later
Naturally, that made us curious about other interests who may have his ear and voice. So, we requested records that could give insight into his office's communications with the real estate broker, Portland's police union, business lobbyists, and connected labor leaders. But by and large, the city responded by saying that no communications exist—in some cases despite clear evidence, through the images and lobbying reports, demonstrating that the messages existed.

Really should have gotten a screencap before AB number 4.

Career stats for Cardinals RF Joshua Baez, after becoming the first MLB player to ever hit a homer in each of his first three career at bats. 4 at bats, three home runs, 5 rbi in his debut.

Worried about Dufur, Oregon (population 632) as the Grasshopper Fire is now expanding north and east, after getting very close to Mt Hood ski areas. Will all depend on the wind, but expect Level 3 alerts to continue to stretch east, threatening the town that was evacuated in 2018 due to 3 fires.

Man say what you will about FIFA, but can I just say it’s great how they are taking care of the players, for example pausing for a hydration break during the Bay Area heat wave. Cynics who complain about a shameless commercial break money grab really need to give the benefit of the doubt…

Screenshot of weather app, showing the absurdity of FIFA taking a “hydration break” when the temperatures have dipped below 60 degrees.

Coincidentally the screenshot also shows a McDonalds commercial. That was not planned but nicely makes the point.

The Phillies should have swapped the 4th and 6 innings to keep the Fibonacci sequence going…

Screenshot of baseball game score. Philadelphia Phillies have 12 runs, Chicago Cubs just 2.

Most interestingly, the Phillies scored 1 run in the 1st inning, another run in the 2nd, then 2 runs in the 3rd, none in the 4th, 5 in the 5th, and 3 in the 6th.

If they can score 8 in the 7th inning, that would keep the almost-pattern going.
