Everything right now absolutely DOES need exactly that.

Trump/Epstein Files. Epstein's War. History will do the branding now.

A β€œFull-Count Conversation” on the Recruitment and Retention of Umpires To learn more aboutΒ some of theΒ successes in recruiting and retaining umpiresΒ by local leagues, Little League sat downΒ for a β€œFull-Count Conversation” withΒ Umpires-In-Chief,Β Darren Oliver from Barrier...

Even little league volunteer umpires receive intensive training and constant evals before they ever take the field, yet they still wind up being cursed at & disrespected by unappreciative coaches and parents who feel entitled to abuse them.
BE NICE TO UMPIRES!

Riley Gaines is a sore loser with a chip on her shoulder the size of an iceberg who thinks she and her husband should be immune from the horrors inflicted on other legal immigrants who, just like her husband, "did everything the right way," yet still somehow got detained, beaten, or murdered by ICE.

Some people are more outraged at our Olympic athletes expressing conflicted feelings about representing the United States than they are about why the athletes feel that way. This is one reason why. I feel sick thinking this is what "USA" represents to the rest of the world now: cruelty and horror.

Happy birthday to one of my favorite poets, Edna St. Vincent Millay.

Something about her bohemian lifestyle and unique education and upbringing has always fascinated me, and her poems touch my soul in a profound way I can't quite explain. Here's one of them, "What Lips My Lips Have Kissed."

Hi Orlek

Something for you to think about to help disperse the dread

Cherish every moment with her! She is not afraid, and neither should you be.

They "must apologize"? Why? You expect them to be contrite & see the error of their ways?

As always, it will be the women who suffer the invisible wounds inflicted by the men's disrespect toward them. Apologizing won't let those players off the hook; why would they bother? Dream on.

As if being chronically and critically sleep-deprived is a good thing for a president to be.

Does no one in his orbit ever tell him to go to bed and say his prayers like a good boy?

I think you conflate brainlessness with ambivalence; Couton has bigger issues on his mind. The brothers will choose for him, so crisis averted. (It will probably wind up being some sort of mΓ©nage Γ  trois, please keep us posted.)

The sounds of people laughing and snowplows clearing the streets is music to my ears, Yaro. A lovely moment captured by your camera to remind us that not all is chaos and misery. There are still reasons to be happy and hopeful.

I wish the same for you, Rachel. And the day after that and the day after that too.

Slava Ukraini and all those fallen heroes, who will not be forgotten.

So true, Darren, and I say that as an American completely mortified by the behavior of the men's team. Kudos to you and your countrymen and -women for having the grace Team USA did not, to congratulate your opponents and hold your heads high.

It all looks so normal and unremarkable

Thank you for showing the sun shining upon your beautiful Kyiv, Yaro. Your courage and powers of description inspire me.

What a grand gesture, Flav! Hope some sponsors step up and help you make this happen for the awesome women of Team USA.

A-Maz-ing Career | Baseball Hall of Fame

The noisy background of current events has muted the news of Bill Mazeroski's recent death. He enjoyed a solid career as a gold glove infielder who was seldom spectacular but always stellar, and what he did in the 1960WS secured his place in the baseball firmament.

A lot of blood, sweat, time, and tears made this possible. Viewers, sponsors, and WNBA fans, give yourselves a huge pat on the back!

That must be an awesome feeling, seeing your book randomly displayed behind some dude doing a zoom. Hell, I'VE got goosebumps seeing it!

You're already telling the story, and many of us are listening with horror, confusion, and respect for your resilience, Yaro.
