Your reminder that ICE should be presumed lying when it claims someone "weaponized their vehicle" against them. It's never true. It never happens. It's always a lie.

Today I talk about how, so far, this postseason has given us an ugly and unenjoyable product and how, based on its labor proposal, MLB clearly wants more of the same. Also: Pete Hegseth is a psychopath, how sad it must be to be an AI guy, and how fun it can be to be a fake movie mogul.

Yup. This is what I don't understand when some otherwise intelligent, left-leaning baseball fans seem to get really pissed off when I point out Manfred and MLB are making changes that make a mockery of the game we love. Rich owners doing the wrong thing? Inconceivable!

Film studies should be taught as mandatory as maths, English, science etc. in schools. It would expose you to different cultures, languages, time periods, music. It would promote empathy and understanding of other people's struggles and successes. Hugely beneficial to society.

In Rashomon (1950), ambiguity arises from four contradictory views of a murder. With no objective perspective, each witness - bandit, wife, slain samurai, and woodcutter - revises the crime in relation to their interest, turning a single event into incompatible accounts.
