@MattWelch Unfortunately I didn’t get to any of the Series games against the Cards, so I watched the regrettable result on TV. If the Brewers ever get back to the Series they’ll join the Astros as the only teams to appear as both the National and American League champion.

@derLibertar I was in the Anaheim Stadium parking lot for games 3 and 4, sleeping in a Pinto, waiting in line for (and eventually purchasing!) World Series tickets.

Bad baseball club.

@ajwimsatt @MattWelch @wethefifth @michelleinbklyn So Platner is “cute” because he can’t pronounce cis? Really?

A new @wethefifth podcast is out! Tucker, Totenkopf, and the Fascist Question w/ Michelle Goldberg @michelleinbklyn (Episode 554) wethefifth.com/p/tucker-toten…

@timgill924 You are either a total A$$ or full of $hit

I caught a grad student at the movie theatre last Sunday. I take my kids there to see Super Mario Galaxy and I see a grad student three rows up. I tapped him on the shoulder and told him he either leaves now no questions asked or I speak with his dissertation chair. He left.

@SweetTexanRose Learn spelling

I don’t know where they polled these people, but how can they be so right with number 1 yet so wrong with number 10? Barry isn’t top 10 in anything in his life.

90% people get stuck at 7 can you solve it?

@reason I grew up in Wisconsin and remember my truck driver uncle would pickup oleo (margarine) Illinois and “smuggle” it back.

When margarine was invented in the last 1800s as a cheap butter substitute, dairy farmers had a cow. So they went to the government and laid it on thick.

@RedWavePress Oil is priced on a worldwide basis, the US price will be impacted by the international market and he knows that.

NBC News’ Kristen Welker: “You’re talking about 140 million barrels of Iranian oil, and that’s just a little bit more than what the world uses in one day. How much can that really change prices here at home —” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “Again, Kristen, terrible framing, terrible framing. No, no, no — prices here at home?” “Let me explain. 140 million barrels — about 20 million barrels a day — comes out of the Gulf. About five million has been the uh, repurposed by the Saudis, by the UAE. So, we’re at a 15 deficit. About 1.5 is Iranian oil that comes out. So, we are at between a 10 and 14 million deficit on a daily basis.” “If you think about 140 million barrels, that’s between 10 days and two weeks of supply. And one of the reasons, one of the reasons that prices in the U.S. of West Texas crude are below $100 — and we have not seen this massive spike as we did during the beginning of Russia/Ukraine — is because we are well supplied in the market, whether it is the Russian oil, whether it is the Iranian oil, or it is the largest the SPR release in history done by a coalition of 32 countries, 400 million barrels.”

@NFLNumbersGuy Way too much recency bias!

@NFL_DovKleiman 0 for 2 so far not very scary or good

ChatGPT predicts the next 50 Super Bowl champions. AI is getting scary good 😳

@JakeCan72 Here’s an idea: Let’s not glorify & sanctify anyone, naming things after them, building statues, etc. That way we don’t have to undo everything when their flaws are uncovered.

Obama declared Cesar Chavez a National Monument in 2012 — then awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Dolores Huerta, his co-founder who now says Chavez raped her twice in the 1960s. Both rapes resulted in pregnancies. Huerta kept them secret for 60 years. The children were raised by other families. Today the New York Times published a multi-year investigation. Huerta was not the only one to come forward. Two additional women say Chavez began targeting them at ages 12 and 13. One reported dozens of encounters over four years. The other says he drove her to a secluded grape field in Delano, California and raped her at 15. The collapse is already happening. The UFW has canceled its participation in Cesar Chavez Day events nationwide. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs announced the state will not recognize the day this year. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is discussing with legislators whether changes to Cesar Chavez Day are warranted — including a potential shift to Farmworker Day. Sacramento is moving to rename Cesar Chavez Plaza. San Francisco supervisors report being flooded with calls to rename Cesar Chavez Street — one official is pushing for Dolores Huerta Street. In Fresno, a councilman plans to strip his name from a 10-mile boulevard renamed in his honor just two years ago: “We will not reward people who harmed us.” His own family released a statement acknowledging “impropriety with women and minors.” They said they were “shocked and saddened.” Huerta is 96. She stayed silent for six decades because she believed the truth would damage the farmworker movement she helped build. The federal monument remains in place. The Medal of Freedom was handed to the woman he raped. More than 70 schools and 35+ cities still bear his name.

@Amirelaluna Doesn’t anyone understand chemistry?

What? The paper's weight increased after I burned it...

@MattWelch @wethefifth … but then again, I too have a mirror.

@MattWelch @wethefifth What was the name of that Diner? I’m looking to go out for “breakfast” soon.

One of my favorite all-time @wethefifth episodes dropped this morning. wethefifth.com/p/gov-chris-ch…

@kmanguward He needs another one to end.

Trump, basically: I ended 8 wars, so maybe I'll start one. Just one. For a treat.

@charlescwcooke Congratulations! You’re the embodiment of the value of immigration. It’s just unfortunate that you show such poor acuity in selecting sports teams to support .

It’s eight years today since I became a U.S. citizen. What an unbelievable honor.

@MattWalshBlog Matt, you should compare it to baseball or basketball, not football.

The sense I get from watching my first ever hockey game is that the championship games are incredibly exciting in a way that Super Bowls often aren’t, but some random regular season hockey game would be excruciatingly boring in a way that random regular season football games rarely are. True or false?

@ItsMattsLaw @charlescwcooke We need to get back to the original and use a badger instead of that big rodent

Aliens (completely bewildered): so the groundhog Me: is clairvoyant, yes

@_MAGA_NEWS_ No thanks! That’s more than $7000 per actual US taxpayer

🚨ALERT: In a bombshell revelation, top White House officials disclosed that the United States is finalizing a staggering $700 billion cash offer to buy Greenland outright from Denmark, plus $100,000 lump-sum payments to each of its ~57,000 residents—totaling nearly $706 billion.
