Cubs are 44-28 since June 10. That's a 99-win pace. That level of play has taken them from 8 games behind the Brewers on June 10 to 9 games behind the Brewers on Sept. 2.

Interesting thread
This insightful thread made me reflect on how I, a Gen Xer, was socialized to think about the political agency of ordinary citizens...and how those historical "lessons" that I'd imbibed, drawn from the history of the 1960s and 70s, just don't ring so true to today's young adults.
The point at which a sane, morally principled award winning teacher who is angry about school shootings picks up a gun and thinks it’s the only way to make a difference is a bad place to be in. Dismissing him as a crazy person and blaming Dems is disingenuous and dishonest

Someone should ask JD Vance: “You warned the Pope to be more careful when speaking about theology. Do you have any criticism for Hegseth who recited a made up Bible quote from the movie Pulp Fiction at a Pentagon prayer service? And why is Hegseth leading prayer services at DOD anyway?”

One of the things I always appreciated about the Obama administration was having Sasha and Malia Obama negotiating with other countries in some of the world hot spots. That's a diplomatic tradition that I hope moves forward.

There’s a corner of twitter currently arguing that MANPADS are not air defense systems, so the administration’s claims of air supremacy are not overstated.
MANPADS stands for Man Portable Air Defense System.

When you wonder why I castigate my fellow citizens more often than our leaders, consider that the United States is *this far* from war with a nation of 90 million people and no one seems to give a hoot.

Every American to the left of Susan Collins is somewhat responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk, but it’s unclear if the President is responsible for the video he posted.
