So the Sox appear to be on the verge of clinching their playoff ticket despite losing to Tampa Bay today, which is emblematic of their "third act" this season.

So, could we have a federal affordable housing initiative if we promised every new unit would house drones and snipers?

@peteabeglobe.bsky.social @alexspeier.bsky.social Can one of you illuminate exactly what's going on with the turf at the Trop? For the life of me it looks like everytime the ball bounces in the outfield a spray of either water or sawdust kicks up. My TV isn't good enough to discern what it is

A super fun colloquium, and I'm not at all kidding here, would be on: "What would the AI apocalypse look like?" It would be fascinating to tease out how it might develop in a conversational manner.

The president seems driven chiefly by the sense that A.I. is the way to economic growth, and nothing can be allowed to stand in its way.

Memo to Dave Fleming and ask sports broadcasters everywhere: we don't care about your thoughts on 9/11, particularly on 9/17. I didn't tune in to baseball to do anything but enjoy baseball.
Is it just me or has the entire Sox broadcast team on both sides been in freefall since Joe Castiglione left

Let's see....first the administration wants a list of all the voters in the country. Then they promise to send $5000 to every adult citizen, as long as the GOP keeps power in the mid-terms.
So many rules to violate, so many promises to break....so little time

I called my Gen Z son on the phone to discuss some complicated health insurance matters that really don't lend themselves to texting or even email because of the back and forth nature of the issue.
When he answered the phone, he asked, in all seriousness, "who died?"

If you're spending the last two months before the mid-terms posting stuff about how this Democrat or that is bad -- short of criminal behavior -- you are an unfollow and block. You're doing the bidding of the opposition. You're either a useful idiot or a collaborator. Or maybe just an idiot.

That homer by Contreras is a season highlight. I wish we could have seen if it hit the structure across the street; once upon a time it might have bounced onto the turnpike.
That and the August 6 game are maybe all-timers.

Out of the many corrupt, stupid policies of this government that are a race to the bottom economically, this really stands out. We have to abandon our goals of super fast Internet everywhere because it would be "unfair" to inferior speed technologies, one of which just happens to be Starlink.

North Korea got the bomb on his watch, yet he wants to penalize South Korea -- as good an ally as you could hope for -- because they didn't participate in the "denuclearization" of Iran?
I wonder if this has anything to do with South Korea impeaching its own treasonous coup-attempting President? 🤔

Last night was baseball's "field of dreams" game, an homage to a movie revolving around men banned for life from baseball for match-fixing on behalf of gambling syndicates, brought to you by *checks notes* the gambling company Fanduel. Why DO people think Americans don't understand irony? :)

To summarize:
Sayed wins in a squeaker:
"See the future is ours, suck it, Democrats, the DSA is riding a popular wave and you're history."
Hong loses in a squeaker:
"The Democratic establishment rigged the game. Screw them, I'm not voting in November."
This is how we lose a Republic.

I don't mean this rhetorically -- can we please stop saying 'pedophile' and substitute 'child rapist'? Because that's what we're talking about and I do not see any reason to sugarcoat this. It's borderline euphemism.

OMG A FOURTH OUT RULE scores a run for the Sox!
I actually called this in a game once, high school, and it took a *lot* more than ten minutes to explain it to the coaches. They still appealed and I had my first and only ever in-person explanation to a governing body (the local athletic association)
