I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Aaron Sorkin *dreams* of writing this sort of take down scene.

If only you had a news organization filled with reporters to, you know, fact check the details of a story bef… ah you know what, never mind. That ain’t y’all.

once again tapping the sign to support billionaire free, worker run, and/or independent news when and how you can. in DC, that means: @streetsensedc.bsky.social @51st.news @washingtoninformer.com @ethiopique202.bsky.social El Tiempo Latino

Wait what?

Lenin and Walt Kelly. Did the world ever know two greater prophets!? @samdingman.bsky.social

Me: It sure is annoying seeing all these Yankees fans at Camden Yards. 1996 Baltimore Sun: Lenin warned us about this.

Hey, national Democrats. If you speak about racists and bullies like Ossof is on the debate stage right now, you get my money. Not by texting or emailing or constantly browbeating. New York Dems, you get my money if I see you on the streets or at the hospital in the Bronx tonight.

So this is wild: when Trump won the second time, I wrote down three events that felt like speculative fiction/distopia/out of bounds in a pre2024 world, but that I could maybe see happening as the window shifted. One of them: he brings back firing squads, but live streams the execution.

We just surpassed 20% of our goal! Help us close the gap by visiting propublica.org/sportsbetting, and sharing this across your platforms, group chats, and communities.

I know you people are on these apps!!! Help smart reporters dig in here?

There is no hell hot enough.

🎶It’s the mooooost wonderful skeeeeeet of the year 🎶

If you're old enough to compare this play to the Jeffrey Maier play, you should schedule a colonoscopy

I was really enjoying this game and then I started thinking about the BABIP nightmare of the Royals series the last time the Orioles were good and now I’m sad.

Tho if it were the orioles, the pitcher would then melt alllll the way down. Props to Schlittler for gutting through that.

Tell you what - the 2026 Orioles could only DREAM of a three error first inning.

4-1 thrashing. We! Are! Toppa the league! We are toppa the league!

First half of the @footballclubgroup.com season is in the can. @terminio.org 3-1 lead. Rappucci and Braian look a cut above after their London adventures over the summer. Team is holding shape well! Forza Terminio! Come on your Dragons!!!

::checks Bluesky:: Good lord, the Ravens must be getting absolutely clobbered. Have they all had their pants fall down? Did the new coach fight a fan?! ::checks score:: ah. Well. They appear to, technically, be winning the game.

Imagine if your high street was filled with businesses owned directly by the people who work, shop and live there. Now, we’re helping make that a reality. Chair of the Co-operative Party Jim McMahon MP shares how we’re doing it with a £10m Co-operative Development Fund.

Good lord the internet is terrible.

That inning was a perfect encapsulation of the orioles season.

Shoulda been a position player

Ah well, still glad to see the big fella back.

Oh I have MISSED that Banana Splitter!

Trey, you get 7 scoreless in my heart.

Dr. Jekyll-ass team. Maybe a lockout will be better for both of us.

WhiteSox, you guys seem like a nice crew. And Lord knows you’ve suffered enough over the last few years. But just think: you could do the funniest thing possible (from the perspective of an Orioles fan) and lose the next five!

there are 70 million people for whom this is the biggest song in the world. they watch comedies called like "Wives of Jim" that have run for nine seasons. they're usually pretty affable in person. in 2024 they severed the fate of humanity because of egg prices

How bout that slider, muthafucka?

Ouch!

Gotta say. A 1-0 loss on a single hit triple that our back up OF lost in the sun… will be new! Loss-a-gami!

Anyone seen LuBob recently?

Am I rooting for Sammy to attempt a bunt on this first pitch, just to see the BlueSky turn red and watch the world burn? Kinda

That’s strike three, you knob.

Fuck you DL (complementary)

Another double would be choice here, Mr. Mayo sir.

Whatchoo saving those challenges for, Sammy?

Is that six runners stranded by Jax already?

We’ve had 50 clients take part in our advertising program since we launched it in 2024. Will you be ……. the 51st?!

Shoulda walked him

Phewwww thought our streak of consecutive innings scoring at least one run was going to be over at 5!

Stick in new york with no SNY someone get me the replay of Coby’s homer inn

Sammy. Let them walk you, boo.

You don’t see a Deconstructed Weaver every day.

Oh come on
