@valuesauce Oh 100% I hate the players less. And if given the choice, I would much rather money go to the players than the owners
But I personally wish that less money was flowing through MLB (i.e. the fans spending less on everything)

$1.5M league minimum is $8,021 PER DAY
I wish I could make 8 grand a day and cry poor. What an absolute joke

The MLBPA’s opening proposal today

I strongly dislike the phrase “Epstein class”, largely because it is genocidal rhetoric. A genocidal culture needs to tell lies about the depravity of their enemies to justify their actions. Democrats should have nothing to do with it.

This settler just attacked an actual baby. I know that only statues attacks attract international attention, but maybe we can draw the line at a grown person going after a baby?
Drop Site@DropSiteNews
A Jewish settler entered a cave dwelling used by Palestinians in Khirbet al-Rakeez in the southern Hebron Hills and shoved a woman to the ground while she was holding her baby. In another incident captured on video, the same settler repeatedly struck the family’s guard dog with a stick. Settlers have repeatedly entered Palestinians cave dwellings in the area in recent months, Times of Israel reported along with links to footage of the video, as part of a broader pattern of escalating settler harassment and intimidation across the southern Hebron Hills.

@Nyanasaur See I hate players less. At least they have a talent to back up the valuation requested. Idk about you but I can neither hit nor throw 100mph so I’m pretty impressed by people who can
English
@valuesauce Nope I hate both parties and think that both make WAY too much money
Ideally more money gets put into the fans, but that's never happening
English
@Nyanasaur Fair. Sorry, lots of dummies making the owners case here against players which is wild to me.
English
@valuesauce Brother chill out, I literally said that the unfortunate alternative is giving more money to the owners which I don't want

@valuesauce @YANGS1K @JeffPassan No player is worth how much they make now.
I work for a company, I make them 2500 a day, I get paid 180.
That’s just how it is.

The MLBPA made its first proposal to MLB today in collective bargaining. Among the topline issues:
- A "competitive-integrity tax" for any team that does not spend $150M
- Increase minimum salary from $780,000 to $1.5M
- Increase in base CBT threshold from $244M to $300M
English
@YANGS1K @JeffPassan Ceiling is retarded. Fuck the ceiling. That will just be an excuse not to pay the best players what they are actually worth to the team.
English
@JeffPassan Not bad. I'm sure the owners counter proposal will have more guidelines for spending. I like the idea of creating a salary cap floor of sorts but we also need some kind of a cap ceiling too

Haha, Tom Hardy really out here pulling full diva mode — locking himself in the trailer for hours while Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren just sit there twiddling their thumbs? That’s not a power play, bro, that’s career Russian roulette. Keeping Dame Helen waiting is wild behavior. Producers spooked is an understatement.
English
A source close to production on #MobLand tells us Tom Hardy “refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time.”
“He kept the cast waiting, [which is] a power play. Keeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and others waiting is career suicide, I would wager.”
If greenlit, season three is set to film from September, the source added, but Hardy’s on-set behavior has spooked producers. His fate is yet to be decided, despite earlier reports that he’d been fired from the show.

This is what happens when you don’t have veteran leadership in clubhouse.
Some people think it’s funny, I think it’s horse***t. If he was my teammate, he and I would have a major issue.
Kids come to these games and emulate us. That is a responsibility we must uphold to the highest standard.

Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work
Pop Base@PopBase
Pope Leo XIV on AI: “Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”

"I wonder how you square the circle of being a progressive who supports equality here domestically but also supports this ethno-supremacist state of Israel?"
@ryangrim and I challenged @jstreetdotorg founder @JeremyBenAmi on liberal Zionism and the role of J Street amidst Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing.

@ricwe123 Now replace Ukraine with us and Israel with the us and what you describe sounds familiar.
English
Here we have Victoria Nuland in 2016, bragging to US Congress about how thoroughly Washington had taken over Ukraine after the 2014 coup.
She spelled it all out without shame:
🔴US operatives embedded in a dozen Ukrainian ministries.
🔴American-trained cops patrolling 18 cities.
🔴The US Treasury gutting 60 Ukrainian banks while sparing depositors to keep people quiet.
🔴Hundreds of millions of dollars funneled into molding Ukraine’s military.
This wasn’t "assistance", it was a takeover dressed up as aid.
"Unprovoked"
😂😂😂😂😂

Similar to when Israeli cyber official Tom Alexandrovich -- after meeting with NSA and other US agents -- was arrested in Las Vegas for trying to arrange hook-ups with underage girls.
He was then bizarrely released with no restrictions, waltzed back to Israel, never returned.

Israel has signed a ceasefire agreement with Hamas yet continues to bomb them and brags about it openly. I don’t know of any other country that does that. They do not even offer justifications for the breach of the deal they themselves agreed to.
jeremy scahill@jeremyscahill
In a sea of repeated ceasefire violations by Israel against Gaza, it remains important to note that Israel signed a ceasefire deal with *Hamas* yet continues to openly assassinate and attempts to assassinate Hamas officials and commanders, in addition to killing civilians daily.

I understand charges get dismissed if there's no case but the criminal complaint makes this sound open and shut. Solomon is in the US on a visa and had multiple illegal firearms in addition to 2 foreign passports where his name was spelled differently

Strange news out of Las Vegas: The Israeli property manager linked to an illegal Las Vegas biolab (which contained HIV and dengue fever) just had federal charges dismissed against him
Las Vegas Locally 🌴@LasVegasLocally
Federal charges have been dropped against Ori Solomon, the mysterious Israeli property manager linked to an illegal biolab found at a short-term rental in East Las Vegas. Solomon still faces a Clark County criminal charge for the improper disposal of hazardous waste.
