burning weeks of hard-won goodwill with my two-year-old because I did bath the wrong way

Do the Brewers throw the Miz out there next game? Surely they burned Ashby for tomorrow (tonight)

We have a chance to close out a World Series sweep. Get me the guy who sucks

i hope if nothing else, the media ignoring this finally stops people from saying "the reason the media doesn't run drumbeat scandal coverage on trump the way they did on Clinton is because Dems don't make a big deal of it like Republicans do"

I hate incorrect editor’s notes.

Jhoan Duran being asked to throw two innings: *crumbles to dust* Aaron Ashby being taken off the mound after 2.1 scoreless innings: I will kill you

Being able to decide "guess we'll just let Aaron Ashby pitch until we win" is both a flex and somehow a perfectly reasonable decision on the merits.

Here he comes. Aaron Ashby my goat

Stephanie Phillips/Lee Garbett Daredevil? Good! Flaviano stepping in for Garbett? Good!

I think as a society people just don't want to face what it means about us that Trump is a rapist and even though that was public information he was still elected President

So close! It’s where poop comes from. ❤️

I find it deeply condescending as someone with a chronic illness. The performative mourning is useless

I still feel like all the street parties when Biden was declared the winner were just memory wiped. But we could have that again.

Hmm gonna give this one an “lol”

Don't worry, Flavio! Your future is guaranteed by Donald J. Trump! That's a bet no one has ever come to regret!

Daughter is psyched

If you are too young to really remember the Obama years, conservatives were like this every single day. He really did just break their brains.

Yeah that was the resume they chose on purpose

Random selection of movies I’ve recently watched and loved

Been anticipating this one since she first talked about making this comic.

A source close to Jaylen Brown contradicted a report from Celtics analyst Brian Scalabrine, who later walked back his own report saying Brown requested a trade from Boston.

A lot of the comments on this petition go pretty hard.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

I think a cool thing for a dem opponent to do would be to post a picture of a Cheesecake Factory menu from 3 years ago and today, note the price difference and say something like “he’s out here posing for photos instead of addressing the rising cost of a working family going out for dinner”

If you were worried about a photograph being made public by a group of manipulative liars maybe you shouldn’t have posed for a photograph where he’s draped by men in their collars praying over him. You’re just mad people are mad at you

"Not many who stand next to Trump walk away with their dignity intact. Smart people avoid it altogether." - Me, in @commonweal back in April (www.commonwealmagazine.org/leo-trump-wa...) I tried to warn your excellencies!

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
