@PlatinumKey13 @Pirates It’s is hard to appreciate how big the kid is until you see him in person. A mountain of a man.

@SteelCityBucs30 Some. But in fairness most had Skenes 1-1 by draft day. Still credit to Bux on that and subsequent drafts.
English
People wanted him over Skenes 🫢

Dylan Crews optioned to Triple-A by the Nationals.

I don’t know how anyone else feels, but this is the most exciting the Futures game has ever been for me.
This team has multiple stand-out prospects. The major league team features near-prospects who aren’t even playing in this game. The under-25 group of Pirates players is just impressive as hell.
This is going to be such a fun season.
English
@Veno202 Great job. Even Skenes wasn’t clear cut at 1-1, although he was the most commonly ranked there by draft day.
English
I’m just trusting whoever they take this year will be a stud

@Veno202 Skenes-Griffin-Hernandez is an insane run of 1st round picks

I’m with the Rep here. Not great.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC
This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

🚨 🚨 BRAKING 🚨 🚨
This one is tough to even type out.
Oscar-winning actor Chuck Norris has past away. The most important and talented actor in world history, Chuck’s movies grossed more than those starring non-American actors combined
He is an American icon, and his record for Oscars will likely never be broken
We miss you, sir

@tonyannett @DamonLinker And New Testament Jesus is in our camp.

I assume largely because more liberal Catholics have left the church, with the remaining members more conservative. Less about a static body of parishioners moving right over time.
Ryan Burge 📊@ryanburge
In 2008, the Catholic vote was evenly split: 50% for McCain 50% for Obama In 2024, it was solidly red: 56% for Trump 42% for Harris White Catholics are a 2:1 Republican voting bloc now. Non-white Catholics went from 24% for Trump in 2016 to 40% in 2024.
English
We could argue that Trump 1 was a one-off, a freak occurrence. But electing him *twice*? Raises reasonable questions about what kind of electorate would do that.
Ramez Naam@ramez
The drop in global perceptions of the US is 100% because of Donald Trump. Clear as day.

@SteelCityBucs30 If he plays like he did in spring, he'll get his shot.

Endy Rodriguez should start in AAA. He’s had just over 250 PA in the majors since the start of 2023.
Let him ease back into playing everyday instead of rushing him back and expecting production.
It’s the best thing for him and the team.
English
@tonyannett Just maddening. US as a nation does not take its democracy seriously, as evident by the %'s of voters who are completely uninformed/misinformed and citizens who don't bother voting at all.
English
I find to hard to sympathize with these people. What the hell did they expect? We told them this would happen.

“I'm really scratching my head because I voted Republican, and most of us in the fishing industry did, and we're not seeing the the positives come out of it, why we voted that way.”

@opaleak The Adidas World Cup tops are exceptional, without exception.

Didn’t imagine having a president who lifts strategy from imperial Japan.

@AmericanGwyn @AeonBaudrillard I find it to be a Catholic book, at any rate.
English
@AeonBaudrillard Cormac was raised Catholic and Blood Meridian is a thoroughly Catholic work.
English
Blood Meridian is absolutely better than Moby Dick. The latter is still Anglo-Catholic, a neurotic text, every page sullied and rendered powerless by the pus of "humor" or "whimsy"; the mandatory "Dialectical" filth. Whereas the former is American-Protestant through and through.

@DrCatharineY A sector in which we have long been undisputed global leader & drew/kept best scientists, trainees & students from all over the world. Which generates immense value in coin, health & well-being, at costs that relative peanuts in context of federal budget. Yeah, let's blow that up
English
As the world falls apart, so does the U.S. scientific system:
>40% of NIH-funded scientists are canceling research
>25% are laying off staff
Two-thirds are telling students to leave academia
The effects of this will be deep and felt for a very long time.

@dansenor According to the Fox News Poll, 14% of 2024 Trump voters oppose the Iran war.
English
I’m amused by the number of smart people — in the media, on Wall Street, in tech, in the Jewish non-profit space, in academia — who constantly tell me about how fractured MAGA is over the war. And when I ask if they’ve ever spoken to an actual Trump voter about this…. crickets.
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten
There's no break in MAGA. Trump's approval with MAGA GOP is literally 100%. 90% of MAGA GOP approve of US military action in Iran. Those who disapprove of Trump are not MAGA at this point. Importantly: MAGA makes up the same share of voters as it did when Trump won in 2024.

EXCLUSIVE: MLB is getting into the prediction market business through a multi-year deal with Polymarket, FOS has learned. Polymarket will become the exclusive prediction market partner of MLB and will be the only platform allowed to use team logos and marks. By @BenHorney ⬇️

Trump has trashed the economy and the Constitution. But that liberal polyamorous woman who was profiled in the Atlantic is just so cringe. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Does he realize that James (not John) Connolly was a socialist?
Steven Vago@Vagoish
Here’s former Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa on a united Ireland: “That’s right, up the rebels. United Ireland! That’s right. John Connolly, right? Just remember 1916. Easter Sunday. Did the mayor mention that?”
