"Mercer should have scheduled tougher to improve their RPI" Mercer's RPI: 28 Mercer's Non-Con SOS: 218 NC State's RPI: 51 NC State's Non-Con SOS: 242

@RangersSNtv That’s a manger without answers to this poor lineup.

Hear from Skip after the 9-0 lose to Houston:

44 wins 28 RPI Top 3 in Home Runs Win over Georgia Tech I still can’t figure out how @MercerBaseball didn’t get in. They did everything that would be asked of a team and get snubbed from the NCAA Tourney.

@Seth_3773 Hmm maybe it has to do with the fact that Florida refused to shake hands? Classless bunch out there in gainsville

Mercer missing the field is bad for college baseball. If a mid-major can win 44 games, finish top 30 in RPI, rank among the national leaders in homers and still miss, what exactly is the path supposed to be outside the power conferences? Column: baseballamerica.com/stories/ncaa-s…

Brandon Nimmo signed ball for Astros fan who didn’t obstruct his home run robbery of Yordan Alvarez

It’s still crazy that Vincent D’Onofrio never became a major awards contender for Daredevil. The way he played Kingpin with childlike vulnerability one second and terrifying violence the next made him one of the best comic book villains ever put on screen.

We don’t need a World Cup song, it’s already been made

Elle est morte dans le camp d'abattage d'Auschwitz le 18 février 1943, après avoir été tuée par une injection de phénol au cœur. Peu de temps avant son exécution, elle a été photographiée par un prisonnier nommé Wilhelm Brasse, qui a plus tard dénoncé le bourreau qui l'a frappée au visage avant le tir, comme vous pouvez le voir par le bleu sur sa lèvre. Sur la photo on voit le visage d'une jeune fille terrifiée, qui ne parlait même pas la langue et avait perdu sa mère quelques jours auparavant. Elle faisait partie des quelque 250 000 enfants et jeunes assassinés à Auschwitz-Birkenau. La photographie originale en noir et blanc, conservée au Mémorial O fotografiawi erocim, a été plus tard colorisée par la photographe brésilienne Anna Amaral, profondément touchée par l'image de Czesława, et impatiente de la partager avec le monde en couleur. 📸 Crédits aux propriétaires respectifs

INCREDIBLE! Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post. Congrats!!

'DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN' Season 2's finale is in 2 days. On a scale from 1-10, how hyped are you?

Matthew Murdock for the defense, Your Honors. #DaredevilBornAgain

and this is the sole reason I know the Canadian national anthem by 🫶🏼

The mic cut out during O Canada at the Sabres game. Buffalo filled every single second of silence. Sang it word for word. This is how you tell your neighbors you see them. We love Canada. Don’t listen to the noise.

On the morning of February 22, 1943, 21-year-old Sophie Scholl stood in a Munich courtroom. Arrested four days earlier, she had endured 17 hours of interrogation and a broken leg. When the judge asked if she had anything to say, she replied: “What we said and wrote is what many people are thinking. They just don’t dare say it out loud.” Three hours later, she was beheaded by guillotine. Sophie was a biology and philosophy student at the University of Munich. Her “crime” was distributing leaflets with her brother Hans and a small circle of friends known as the White Rose. Born in 1921 into a Lutheran family in Forchtenberg, Sophie grew up with a father who openly opposed the Nazis—he was later imprisoned for calling Hitler “a scourge of God.” Like many German youths, she initially joined the League of German Girls at age 12. Her father’s quiet insistence on truth pulled her away. By 15 she had quit the Hitler Youth; by 18 she despised the regime. In 1942, while studying in Munich, Sophie learned her brother Hans—a former medic who had witnessed mass executions on the Eastern Front—had co-founded the White Rose with friends including Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, and Professor Kurt Huber. Their weapons were a typewriter and a hand-cranked mimeograph machine. Over roughly a year they produced six leaflets in elegant, impassioned prose—quoting the Bible, German philosophers, and Greek poets—calling on ordinary Germans to resist the evil being committed in their name. “Hitler’s mouth is a foul-smelling maw,” one declared. “Every word that comes from it is a lie.” Sophie insisted on joining despite the mortal danger. She bought paper and stamps in small quantities across the city, typed, mimeographed, and helped distribute hundreds of leaflets by mail and by hand. On February 18, 1943, Sophie and Hans took the sixth leaflet to the university. They left stacks in corridors and stairwells. In a final act of defiance, Sophie pushed a pile from the top of the atrium and watched the pages flutter down like falling birds. A janitor saw her, locked the doors, and called the Gestapo. Arrested immediately along with Christoph Probst, the three endured brutal interrogation. Sophie refused to betray others. On February 22, before the infamous Nazi judge Roland Freisler, all three were sentenced to death in a show trial lasting about three hours. The sentence was carried out that same afternoon—bypassing the usual 99-day appeal window. Sophie walked calmly to the guillotine. Her last words: “Such a fine sunny day, and I have to go. But what does my death matter if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?” Hans shouted “Long live freedom!” before the blade fell. Christoph, a father of three, was executed minutes later. The Nazis executed the rest of the core group in the following months. But they could not kill the idea. The sixth leaflet was smuggled out of Germany, reached Britain, and was reprinted by the millions. In the summer of 1943, RAF bombers dropped copies over German cities—the very words Sophie had died for now raining from the sky. Today, a square at the University of Munich bears the name Geschwister-Scholl-Platz. In a 2003 poll, Germans ranked Sophie the fourth greatest figure in their nation’s history—above Bismarck, Einstein, and Goethe. She was twenty-one years old. She distributed pieces of paper. And in a moment when silence was safer, she chose to speak—and proved that courage, even when crushed by a guillotine, can still echo across decades.

This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming to us today. Perpetrators were people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they were better than others, an ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred and evil. This ideology became part of their everyday lives and environment. They were not monsters. They were people: fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters. They were farmers, doctors, bakers, bankers, architects, or carpenters. They had their family joys and problems, favorite desserts or songs, hobbies or fears. They were people like us. But they also perpetrated horrible, monstrous acts on behalf of the ideology they believed in. Dehumanizing all the „others” was a tool that helped them achieve their goal. The perpetrators thought of themselves as moral people. And this is the scary part of this history. We should not and cannot dehumanize them, as their story and choices are the human warning. For us all.

HANNITY: “Where are the pointed words from the Pope against Iran? Trump is correct and the Pope is wrong…on so many levels. As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic.” Hannity leaves the Catholic Church to worship Donald Trump.

Proud of the bishops for standing up for Pope Leo XIV and against Donald Trump’s unjust war in Iran.
