We've hit another storage shortage so putting out another call for your hard drives: HDD, SDD, NVME, SAS or SATA, whatever you've got, aren't using, & can donate to the cause it'll be used directly for the long time archival of NCAA football broadcasts (and occasional news coverage). DM me! Thanks!

Sleeping outside on a porch couch tonight with the sounds of the wild and it’s gonna be the best sleep I ever get

NOBODY WANTS THE NEW STADIUM!

Jared@jarebear81787.bsky.social

Yeah, take back the new stadium, the Buffalo Bills of baseball doesn’t deserve this. Three World Series losses in almost 30 years. Baseball proved that it didn’t work here @bubbaprog.xyz

This week’s Independent Florida Alligator is a joint issue with UGA’s Red & Black for the cocktail party and it’s awesome, we love to see college journos working together

this is our whole origin story really, where instead of paying my rent I spent $200 on world series tickets and then had to move in with her in Gainesville

"a principle codified in 1996 legislation but ignored by the deep state for decades" this deep state conspiracy theory nonsense really is now the law of the land huh

Go read this @baumann.bsky.social story that really cuts at the heart of why the Brewers and Rays are here, at why they’re The Brewers and The Rays and other teams aren’t. It’s not a secret data weapon It’s a lot of secret human weapons. blogs.fangraphs.com/the-brewers-...

blogs.fangraphs.comThe Brewers, the Rays, and the Pumping of TiresThe key to accessing an athlete’s talent and maximizing their skill turns out to be a little persuasion and a truckload of positivity.

Apparently face value of tonight's World Series tickets in 142 were $800 compared to the $100 I paid for a Game 2 ticket in the same section in 2008, not that anybody is able to pay face value for anything anymore

Timothy Burke@bubbaprog.xyz

How much it cost for four seats in section 142 the last time I attended an ALCS Game 1 vs how much it costs for one seat in section 142 today

>“We have the power of the purse,” Raskin told me. Given this White House has already openly flouted all concepts of appropriation, it concerns me that senior Democrats actually still believe this.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

If you're looking to channel your nervous energy or just make sure that we run through the tape this election, I recommend the targets identified by Give Smart -- a good place that ensures you'll get the biggest bang for your buck statesproject.org/get-involved...

statesproject.orgARE YOU READY TO GIVE SMART? - The States ProjectA state legislative campaign usually costs less than 10% of a competitive US House or 3% of a competitive US Senate race, which means your donations go furthest when they go to state legislative races...

Confused about this video because the guy you see at the start is Charis Giannopoulos who retired last year at the age of 37? And the player currently wearing #1 on the Maroussi roster is UAB and elsewhere legend Jordan Walker?

a 14 year old is the new youngest player in the history of the greek basketball league and i promise you are not prepared for just how much this professional basketball player looks like a normal ass 14 year old

in honor of tonight's monumental political result from Brazil, here is an assortment of images of longtime NBA center Nenê Hilario

3 out of 300 polled for a Michigan statewide race would be a poll of 100,000 people.

Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."

this season ruled, if not for in order martin gramatica, travis prentice, and randy moss we'd have gone undefeated well OK i think marshall would have beaten us even without moss but

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

this is just bad political communication period. with a profoundly unpopular president, you put out an ad to indicate just how aligned you are with his views on an issue that is not even in the top 100 for most voters?

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

"virtue signaling to the activist community"

Dave C@davecdnb.bsky.social

They’re likely hammering the shit out of him on this issue…in Iowa…so instead of virtue signaling to the activist community that you have their back and will yell at a Democrat (more than once on here!) trying to win in a deep red state, perhaps support the guy by not saying a anything about it

You know @hollyanderson.bsky.social when I opened that bougie ass puzzle box and that weird guy in leather with all the piercings said "I have such sights to show you", I wasn't so sure he could deliver. I guess he gets the last chittering laugh.

my local state senator is a navy vet and electrician and the attack ad against him just now said he would OUTLAW PRIVATE PROPERTY

Hi, I was one of those teen girls and the harassment wasn’t exclusive to pageants. Trump openly, lasciviously and aggressively “cruised” me, my friends and other teen girls at multiple NYC nightclubs in the late 80s - early 90s.

i have always suspected that the ESPN production facility onsite shifts color balance toward red and away from blue in order to emphasize the burnt orange at the cost of making the turf appear grey

Jack B@chiggitychack.bsky.social

Is it the turf material? And does it look like that in person? The TV broadcast seems so desaturated

upgraded to ubuntu 26 this week and instantly mpv starts taking up 10x as much RAM as it did before, with the same config, whole system has had to be rebooted twice today, what a mistake just playing the local ABC over antenna, basic mpeg2 video, it's eaten more than 4G of RAM in 4 1/2 hours

Ken Tremendous@kentremendous.bsky.social

Is Smoltz watching another game? Like did someone put a Reds-Braves game from June on a monitor in front of him and he's actually reacting to what's happening in that game?
