normally there's mutual understanding when players are rentals, but when CC Sabathia got to Milwaukee he was like "I will die on the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers"

another one of those situations where Trump has so thoroughly positioned himself as anti-virtue that celebrating anything good or anybody who has lived a good life can be interpreted "sending a message to Trump"

The World Rally Championship featured 2,500 miles of driving in 13 countries on 4 continents. And the championship was decided by an out-of-nowhere crash in the final corners of the final stage of the final race. (Guy pictured immediately after crashing)

there is absolutely NO correlation between James Dolan taking inspiration from the scifi story about kids violently murdering their parents with their own technology and his own life as the screwup son of a visionary billionaire who more or less invented cable TV, please don't read into it AT ALL

Did the Las Vegas Sphere save the New York Knicks?

fun fact: James Dolan says this Ray Bradbury story about kids programming a smart room to viciously kill their parents is his favorite children's story, and that it was his inspiration to build The Sphere did a Phantom Island about it with @celebrityhottub.bsky.social, my fav ep I've done with them
