Age yourself by naming an MLB center fielder you grew up watching. I’ll start: Mike Trout.

@benflatt30 Cole Hamels would like a word.

Democrats hate America, its Constitution, its founders, its institutions, its history, etc. Why should they ever be given power again?

“Democracy”

Your body has roughly 20 hours to live above what climbers call Everest's death zone. The summit sits on the wrong side of that line. The people in that photo are dying as they take it. Up there, the air holds about a third of the oxygen you'd breathe at sea level. Your blood oxygen drops from a healthy 95% to 50 or 60. At any hospital on Earth, those numbers trigger a medical emergency. Your brain starts running on fumes. Climbers describe feeling drunk, hearing voices, seeing people who aren't there. Even basic decisions, like whether to turn back, can feel impossible. Meanwhile your stomach stops processing food, sleep becomes pointless, and your cells burn through oxygen faster than bottled tanks can replace it. After about 20 hours, organs start to fail. Most people who die on Everest die on the way down, already half-gone by the time they turn around. The crowd in this photo is the 2025 summit weekend, when 213 people reached the top on May 18 and 19 alone. They were all squeezed into one narrow window when the wind dropped enough to climb. The 2026 season just opened on May 13 with a record 492 permits. The fee jumped to $15,000 a head this year, up from $11,000, and Nepal has already pulled in over $7 million from Everest alone this spring. A full Everest trip averages $61,000. Luxury packages with heated tents and unlimited oxygen run $150,000 to $300,000 a person. About 200 dead climbers are still on the mountain right now, frozen where they fell. Rainbow Valley sits just below the summit, named for the colored jackets sticking up through the snow. Almost none can be brought back. Recovering a single body once took 18 hours and a team of climbers, and helicopters can't fly that high. The Sherpas who do most of the work, fixing the ropes, hauling the oxygen tanks, sometimes carrying clients when they collapse, earn around $10,000 for an entire season. Western guides on the same trip make $30,000 to $50,000. Back home, farm income in their villages averages $500 a year, which is why so many of them keep coming back. 42 mountain workers have died on Everest in the past ten years. Mountains kill people. Everest is the one that takes your money first, hands you a guide and an oxygen tank, and points you past a body count on the way up.

I bet this was so painful for MLB to post. They still found a way to glaze Ohtani though. He hit into a triple play, but it was a line drive triple play!

The Braves currently

The memes are hilarious. Kiffin is such a tool.

Shohei Ohtani over his last 10 games: .105 batting average 0 HR 1 extra base hit

DEMOCRACY!

Yes, all the cars in the right lane are sheep. Use all available road until you can’t anymore. Zipper merging saves time.

“Bobby Cox Field at Truist Park”

Wittle buddy.

Losing Ted Turner and Bobby Cox in the same week reminded me of this quote from when Turner fired Cox in 1981. Luckily for Braves fans, the best was yet to come

Whatever it takes, but this is stupid he has to do this. He’s the best, most efficient governor, maybe ever. He’s immensely qualified as an executive and he would make an incredible president. Voters are stupid.

It would be awesome to have Mike Trout and Acuña on the same team. One could take over right field when coming off the injury list right as the other one goes on the injury list.
