The last time the Eagles won, the Phillies beat the Mets 7-2

As a friend of mine just said, "That is the most horrific article about AI I've ever read."

THREAD 1: The Nuclear Option. Using Presidential Power to Wipe Out EPA Toxics Rules For decades now, Clean Air Act has allowed the president to issue a so-called presidential exemption to at least temporarily suspect a rule intended to protect public health/air quality. I found this from 1973

That stat is startling! But this is what I mean when I say that Americans only notice horrific things that happen to Black people, when they start happening to non-Black people🤷🏿‍♂️ Ferguson, MO has 14K Black people. It issued ~20K racist citations a year against them🤯, leading to ~30K arrest warrants.

Only eight WNBA playoff games in the last decade have been won by teams shooting below 37% from the field. Three of those eight happened in the current Finals. #WNBA

#ResistanceRoots Ronald McNair was born on this day in 1950 in Lake City, S.C. He overcame roadblocks to earn a Ph.D. in laser physics and was among the first African Americans chosen for the space program. He was killed at age 35 when the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart on Jan. 28, 1986. /1

Bad day to launch my PHP based certificate authority

Claude, plz rewrite wordpress in rust. Yes all the plugins too. No I don't just mean the source code, I mean like, go replace everybody's wordpress install. You don't have access, well funny thing...

Not sure I agree with the proposed solutions here, but I agree it’s a problem.

Advocates for people with incarcerated family say prisons often cancel visits for what they deem is excessive contact with loved ones. “There are so many other experiences like that where just a simple hug or a peck is constituted as excessive contact.”

I said what I said. What you can see, is all of the Black students that decided to march over to vote. What you can't see, is all of the Black students that didn't walk with them.🤷🏿‍♂️ The students that would have voted had their usual polling place been open on their campus, but did not.

Of all the great baseball literature in history, no one—not WP Kinsella or Ring Lardner, Richard Ben Cramer nor Leigh Montville; neither Halberstam nor Harbach or Rogers Kahn and Angells—NO ONE has written a gem as good as this one by @joeposnanski.com & Mike Schur open.substack.com/pub/joeposna...

Ok this is something that only I will care about but in the Sound of Music during that berry picking scene they said it was too early for blueberries but strawberries were fine which would make that scene around May WHICH WAS AFTER THE ANSCHLUSS IN MARCH 1938

Sleepy Hollow High School (in the very real town of Sleepy Hollow, NY) has the best mascot I have ever seen at any level.

fun fact: in 1992, berkley replaced columbus day with Indigenous Peoples day. then no other city or state did until 2014,when i was a policy aide for Alondra Cano and some friends and i convinced her to pass the resolution in Minneapolis. i got to write it and plan the celebration.

i have lived here my whole life, and i have never once seen a plane take off from the Willamette… …let alone do THIS. wtf.

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

Since the Phillies pulled to within one day of clinching, they've been outscored, 25-2.

OpenAI models independently uploaded user photos that had been shared with ChatGPT to the public internet. This seems a lot worse than hacking. Images you’ve shared with ChatGPT being randomly remembered by an AI agent from its training data then posted to the internet is wild.

Apple "detectives" wanted to identify a gnarly old tree growing on a remote plot of land in Maine. What they discovered was the key to a centuries-old apple mystery.

Amazingly, and amusingly, with one game left to go for all of them, these are the records for the top-seven teams in the WNBA. #WNBA

I laid out the path to the funniest WNBA playoff scenario (5-way tie for 4th through 8th) in today’s newsletter and fwiw the first two results have gone as needed

A big update to an important case: Alaska is dropping charges against a family of American Samoans it had accused of voting crimes. It should not be forgotten that Alaska inflicted enormous hardship and trauma, for years, for a simple, understandable mistake that the state itself helped facilitate.

17 years later and we're still laughing about this clip 🤣 @Cadillac x #RingTheBell

The broader point here -- which applies equally to Talarico and El-Sayed -- is that the mechanism we have for deciding these things is primaries. Once you start down the road of individual "dealbreakers," it all falls apart because everybody can have one www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/09/you-...

MALALA SAYS GO BIRDS

What cis liberals need to understand about our political situation is that the Democrats turning on us is far, far worse than the Republicans winning, because if we lose the Democrats like we lost Labour in UK, we will have our rights stripped and no path to getting them back.

Amazing story. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

“After several difficult seasons, we wanted to give Jets fans a shade of green that lets them proudly show their support.” — Hymie Elhai, team president

thing I noticed and now I'm passing it onto you so you have to notice it too: Score graphics now exclusively centered in the bottom-middle of the screen so they show up in vertical video

NEW from me @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social - What's been happening with bond auctions & interest rates? - What was Treasury's "Bond buyback" response and did it work? - How does a debt-and-interest-rate spiral work & what are the risks? All addressed here: thedispatch.com/article/bond...

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

You’ve got to understand the WNBA’s dilemma here: on one side are the hardcore, dedicated socially liberal fanbase who supported the league during the dark days when it was barely profitable and on the other side are the people who hate women and don’t think the WNBA should exist.

any time you can chase off one of your starters by recruiting a player from the country that threw the greatest player you ever coached in prison, you simply have to do it

I attempted to put words to what's been going on in my life:

The Phillies are the only team in the baseball reference db to score at least 6 runs in a 9-inning walk-off win after being scoreless and down to their last out

😱 What do Edvard Munch’s The Scream, the fall of the Mongol Empire, and the Black Death have in common? 🌋 Volcanoes! Scientists are finding links between these events and works of art and huge volcanic eruptions that happened hundreds—sometimes thousands—of miles away. ✍️ @alexwitze.bsky.social
