@StevenRapelje @CodyStavenhagen And replace him with who? What urgency should he show? Is that going to make the players hit better? How?

Ballgame. Blue Jays 4, Tigers 1. Detroit has lost four straight series and 10 of its past 12 games. Record: 20-27

@AndrewPage6 @justinmmiller27 @Castellani2014 Sell who? What?

@justinmmiller27 @Castellani2014 You already know we’re gonna hang around just enough to not sell at the deadline too 🤣

Game 47 vs Toronto Blue Jays- Waste of money

@osborne_ch60139 @Castellani2014 What should he do?

@Castellani2014 Aj Hinch is an embarrassment of a manager.

Jahmai, if there was ever a time.

@blahblah151515 @Castellani2014 Not to mention the offense. Torkelson needs to completely revamp his philosophy and he needs to seek outside help he can not do it himself that’s evident.

@Castellani2014 This is the most disgraceful fucking MLB franchise. This is their ‘all-in’ year and they trot this fucking loser out every fifth day. Game is over before it even starts again.

I’d consider getting Jake Rogers warming in the pen. More stability.

@booker9e1 @alexchristy17 @theMRC Propagandist is the perfect description.

@alexchristy17 @theMRC The Late Show would still be making money if they had given the job to Craig Ferguson instead of this propagandist.

David Letterman tells Stephen Colbert, "I will say, and I have every right to be pissed off so I will be pissed off a little bit—because this theater, you folks wouldn’t be in this theater if it weren't for me and Stephen wouldn't be here if it weren't for me and we rebuilt this theater and then Stephen came and I look at this—it's like the Bellagio, but listen, what is wrong here?" and then says "As we all understand you can take a man's show but you can't take a man's voice, so that's the good news."

@Ofaye9 @cb_doge Bullshit. No one likes an ideology shoved up their ass

@cb_doge Blaming DEI for Hollywood’s decline is lazy analysis. Oscar ratings were falling long before these standards existed. The inclusion rules also aren’t “racial quotas” — most films qualify easily without changing their story. Good movies still win on quality, not checkboxes.

David Rubin served as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from 2019 to 2022. In 2020, under his leadership, the Academy launched the “Representation and Inclusion Standards” for Best Picture eligibility. These rules, still in effect, require films to meet at least 2 of 4 diversity criteria involving race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or disability in on-screen roles, creative leadership, or crew. Rubin publicly backed the changes and helped appoint the task force co-led by producer DeVon Franklin. He shifted the Oscars from “best movie wins” to race/gender engineering. A film can now be ineligible for the top prize purely for failing demographic quotas, regardless of quality or audience impact. Instead of focusing purely on talent and storytelling, the Academy under Rubin institutionalized identity preferences. Oscars prestige and viewership have tanked. Many see it as performative politics over art. Classics with non-diverse casts would be disqualified. He helped install the DEI machinery that turned awards into checkboxes and accelerated Hollywood’s quality decline.

@Leah742 @cb_doge Mediocrity

Why does DEI scare maga so much? It helps us all, including the uneducated maga. I dont get why grown men are this scared of diversity. It tells me how embarrassing maga men are to the country and the world, and elon is trying to scare them into hating people. Elon is a South African immigrant, and stupid maga eats this up like the idiots they are. Elon knows how easy it is to indoctrinate and instill fear into the dumb. Maga is so embarrassing!

@Castellani2014 And Q the female reporter with the meaningless drivel to Distract from the awful product.

Leadoff single. Picked off. You can’t make this up.

@RyanHoliday You’re an asshole. That could be ad hominem except you really are an asshole

9 Life-Changing Books Summarized In Under 10 Minutes

@MarcAPerna @Castellani2014 What is Hinch supposed to do? These are professional players they actually get paid. His job is to manage not teach some fundamentals that they’re already supposed to know stop blaming the manager.

@Castellani2014 This has nothing to do with just that part of not hitting with runners and scoring position, but on a separate note altogether, this is easily been the worst managing job by AJ Hinch injuries included in all of that. They are fundamentally terrible at everything.

Second and third, one out. No runs.

@zmckellips @MattNorlander Bs

@MattNorlander lol so they’re doing what all the basketball schools have been doing for 20 years now. Cool

Michigan + UConn are providing a CBB rarity: A title-game rematch in the first week of the season. Nov. 6. Boston. Tremendous. Beyond that, Dusty May and Dan Hurley are scheduling aggressively and trying to set the tone for the rest of the sport. Details: cbssports.com/college-basket…

@WMnatzakanian @jasonwhitlock She’d kick your ass

@jasonwhitlock Clark is fragile as glass. Perhaps a career is fashion merchandise.?

It is starting to feel like Caitlin Clark is not going to last long in the WNBA. The injuries and wear and tear she has already sustained have visibly affected her, and the Fever and the rest of the league know it.

@gothamhiphop The emperor has no clothes

Jon Caramanica of the NY Times explains why Young Thug made it onto their Top 30 Greatest American Songwriters list: “If you talk to any 23 year old at an OsamaSon show and asked them what their most important songs are…I promise all those songs sound like children of Young Thug.”

@Lynn_Henning You’re insane

You can see 2028 absolutely taking shape: Marco Rubio will get the GOP call because he will be its populist nominee (no chance for Vance). He will lose, by a whopping margin, probably to Buttigieg, with AOC as runner-up candidate. She ultimately will be the Dem nominee in a later cycle. And she will win. But it will be Rubio losing to Buttigieg in 2028. That a candidate loves a man won't keep a purportedly mature nation from making an overdue mature decision.

@NancyRomm Do you know of @david_goldhill ? Not exactly what you are writing about but I hope you read his Atlantic piece and lots of subsequent writings…it’s related to your writings

@WtrTrading @OleTimeHardball You don’t know anything so you’re excused for your ignorance

No disrespect but none of those guys. When I was about 8 years old, I would have horrific nightmares that made me scared of the dark. My Dad instead of telling me to just get over it as most 60’s era dads would, bought a Bulova radio for me. It was beautiful with a stiched brown leather case and 2 mother of pearl knobs for volume and tuning. He would tune in Gene and the Astros every night and that voice made my nightmares and phobia disappear. I didn’t realize it at the time but he was sympathetic because he knew fear. The real kind of fear that comes from being overrun by the Japanese on Attu. So I am grateful to the late Gene Elston for his southing voice but especially to my dear departed father who solved a boys fears.

@ZiggyWumpus @susanfoertsch @davidsirota Fuck off Obama was in bed with those asshokes and you know it

@susanfoertsch @davidsirota Not an "And" since Tarp was not his doing Not interested in following David if he's going to make an error and not correct himself He did not go after criminal charges or clawbacks. That is true.

Obama unveiling an oligarch-funded shrine to himself amid everyone in America being fleeced by oligarchs is an almost too-on-the-nose bookend of a presidency that bailed out its Wall Street donors who were throwing millions of Americans out of their homes.

@PeriklesGREAT Idiocracy.

What would you call this Presidential Team?

@WesternLensman What an asshole Trying to gaslight people…. Who ya gonna believe me or your lying eyes?

Republicans haven’t lived up to the expectations that Obama has for them, Obama tells Colbert: “I’m worried about the Republican party." "I'd love a Republican Party that...believed in rule of law...and wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses." “There has been a Republican party like that in the past, and I want to see that return."
