The one in which we debate whether the divine intervention is stronger for the Brewers (roof) or the White Sox (pope).

For the mere price of a NYT columnist salary, I too can hear a clear sentence and obtusely pretend I don't know what it means.

Checking in on the postseason discussions on The Everything App and then immediately logging off.
Jon Heyman: One potential caveat: Fried’s girlfriend is due to give birth in a few days. Rodon, slated for Game 4, is the other option.

@JakeMarc23: Missing the game should only be for wives. Not children out of wedlock.

I think for me it’s seeing how little changed coming out of the Me Too movement. A lot of people claimed their eyes were opened as women shared their stories. Fast forward to today and not much has changed except that almost no one can claim ignorance.

We don’t need to educate men or teach our sons to be empathetic or raise awareness. They know. They just do not give a fuck because they don’t see women as human beings. You can’t educate and awareness campaign your way out of that.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

🧬🔬 Why are enhancers transcribed and how does that impact gene regulation? I’m really excited to share our new paper in @science.org showing that noncoding RNAs control the timing of gene activation in embryos. With Mike Levine #ScienceResearch @columbiamed.bsky.social A few highlights below... 🧵👇

Noncoding transcription controls the developmental dynamics of long-range gene regulation
The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely ...

There is something so unique & beautiful about baseball. It evokes a strong feeling of nostalgia while also providing a sense of comfort, normalcy, & routine in a world that has gotten so hectic. To have a voice to your summer is a blessing. It has no equal in sports & we are so lucky to have it.

I hope the players fight tooth and nail against the salary cap and all of the other bullshit the owners are proposing, but god help me if the last Mets baseball I get to see for like two years is the 2026 Mets.

It’s almost incomprehensible how the Dodgers saved the Mets from themselves and signed two of the Mets’ top free agent targets and those two players were both awful and the Dodgers won 100 games anyway and the Mets came in last place.

This might be a hot take, but I still take 2025 over 2026 every time because the season being effectively over in April is so demoralizing.

Max Scherzer going on short rest to catch Verlander's strikeout total -- and nearly damn well doing it -- is some all time inner circle king petty shit, and I mean that in the most complimentary way imaginable. You gotta tip your cap to a true psycho, and Max Scherzer is an all-time baseball psycho.

Come to think of it, seeing the reaction of Phillies fans, them making the playoffs might cause more anguish than them not making it so maybe it’s a good outcome after all.

Yes. Sometime in the next day or two I’m going to finalize everything on the sheet and send a message to everyone who pledged (via whatever contact method they put on the sheet) with their final donation amount and the link to donate (we have a special link we use for the fundraiser). 🙂

In a private discussion today this came up: “We need the January 6th Commission hearings, for DOGE.” One could do a lot with NIH and NSF alone. There are clinical trials that ended, patients that died, young people leaving the US… and bad stuff that happened inside the agencies.
