One Team Too Many

@ChicagoContrar1 This term will used to hand pick her successor #NoKings

Congratulations to all those who voted Preckwinkle. You just condemned Cook County to four more years of incompetent, dishonest leadership, bloated budgets, idiotic judges, the mollycoddling of violent criminals, high taxes, and dysfunctional government.

@baseballinpix Game 1 of the ‘54 World Series. I’d spend ‘a day in the bleachers’ with Arnold Hano

If you could go back in time and be in attendance for one game in baseball history, what game would it be?

@VisionaryVoid Applies to the ‘experts’ that generally post on this app

The Invisible Bank Robber of 1995, In 1995, a man named McArthur Wheeler walked into two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight, held them up at gunpoint, and casually walked out with the cash. He wore no mask, made no effort to hide his face, and even smiled directly into the security cameras. When police arrested him later that evening, Wheeler was genuinely baffled. He could not comprehend how they had tracked him down so easily, insisting over and over that his foolproof disguise should have rendered his face completely unrecordable. Wheeler's grand master plan relied entirely on lemon juice. After learning that lemon juice could be used as invisible ink—only revealed when exposed to a heat source, he applied a profound lack of logic to his own anatomy. He figured that if he covered his face in lemon juice and stayed away from direct heat, the security cameras would only capture an invisible blur. He was so confident in his chemical hypothesis that he even took a Polaroid selfie before the robberies. Because he accidentally aimed the camera at the ceiling, the blank photo perfectly confirmed his suspicion: he had vanished. This wildly misguided heist didn't just earn Wheeler a prison sentence; it inadvertently birthed a psychological breakthrough. When Cornell University psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger read about his lemon-soaked arrest, they were fascinated by how someone could be so hopelessly incompetent yet so entirely confident. This led to their groundbreaking 1999 paper detailing a cognitive bias where people with low ability fundamentally lack the self-awareness to recognize their own ineptitude. It turns out the only thing Wheeler successfully blinded that day was himself.

@historycalendar Thought it was Tom Waits

Oldest known photograph of an Irish Famine survivor, 1853. This photo of a laborer smoking a pipe was taken by John Gregory Crace on the Duke of Devonshire's County Waterford estate the year after the famine ended.

@RushmoreLists Casino

Let’s make a Mt Rushmore of movie scenes featuring someone gambling. We’re going with: Rain Man Casino Royale The Sting The Hangover How did we do?

🚨BREAKING: Thousands of gallons of toxic waste was spilled into the Chicago River this morning If you’re in the area stay far away to be safe

@AlTheBoss03 Johnny Bench

Name a player — not named Derek Jeter or Cal Ripken Jr. — that you respect the most for staying loyal to one team for their entire career. In an era of constant movement, those guys are rare. Who’s your pick? 👇⚾ Bonus points if you watched them their whole career.

@AlTheBoss03 Jim Rice

@CHSN_Blackhawks @CHSN__ End of the game feed on Direct TV was horrible

🚨CONNOR BEDARD OT WINNER🚨

@CHSN_Blackhawks Feed at the end of the game has been horrible. Glitchy, cut to Rick and Darren before they were ready, cut off the Bedard interview, etc. what is going on?

Tune into OT now on the CHSN app: go.chsn.com/hawks-at-mammo…

@Watchingwheels7 @classic_film I can’t say for certain, but he’s likely texting Al Capone

@classic_film Speaking of anachronisms, here is Eric Clapton at his grandmother's house in 1971, where he's holding his iPhone. (And will likely spill his tea when he looks down at it.)

I'm not a big Bob Dylan fan, but I usually enjoy musical biographies--so I watched A Complete Unknown yesterday. Sounds like it was highly fictionalized and I don't feel I know Dylan any better. Still, the music was good. Several anachronisms, including one in the first few seconds which would have been easy to fix.

@LemieuxJocko One of my favorite hockey memories is when you handed Harold Snepsts this beating! Playoffs against the Blues. m.youtube.com/watch?v=uS4oO_…

Those were the best days of my life! It was amazing playing with the best captain of my NHL career, centered by one of the best, and so many great teammates. Thanks for the memories!

@OleTimeHardball Top 10. Absolutely disrupted the game when he was on base.

Where does Rickey Henderson rank all time among Outfielders Top 10? Top 20?

@JulietMosesNZ A group of teens were enjoying a warm summer evening, driving around the Hollywood hills. Little did they know, their lives would forever be changed, when they found themselves at the house of popular actress, Sharon Tate. Here’s what we know so far.

CNN has inspired a new genre of absurd sanitised historical revisionist headlines.

@RushmoreLists Grateful Dead theme - The Music Never Stopped - Crazy Fingers - Uncle John’s Band - Let Me Sing Your Blues Away

Every once in a while, music gets a little self-aware and writes a song about itself. What are some great songs that are about music? Here's our Mount Rushmore: "Killing Me Softly with His Song" - Roberta Flack "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts "I Write the Songs" - Barry Manilow "Old Time Rock and Roll" - Bob Seger What's yours?

@WGNNews Original post

CNN took down a tweet and attached an editor's note to a story about an attempted terrorist attack in New York City earlier this week after facing a wave of backlash over the way the piece was framed. More: tinyurl.com/nn5xfhwj

@WGNNews On the bright side, a meme was born today. Already seen numerous variations of the CNn post.

@MarkHolder27 @FanDuel Kane came in at the end of the rebuild. Bedard was at the beginning.

@FanDuel Bedard is a -87… yikes

Connor Bedard 🆚 Patrick Kane What do you notice? #NHL | #Blackhawks

@OleTimeHardball No Payton or Campbell? Seriously?

Who is your all-time favorite RB? 1. Barry Sanders 2. Jim Brown 3. Gale Sayers 4. Emmitt Smith 5. LaDanian Tomlinson 6. Franco Harris 7. John Riggins 8. Derrick Henry 9. Jahmyr Gibbs 10. Write in another RB

@19fredlynn @RedSox @NESN I have a ball that was signed by Jim Rice. I’m still waiting to get you and Dwight Evan’s to sign. It will complete my favorite outfield of all time. 🙂

Wishing Jim Rice a very Happy Birthday. The man was a great teammate and continues to be a great friend. This friendship never grows old. @RedSox @NESN #GoldDustTwins
