"In a historic, sweeping decision, baseball commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday removed Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other deceased players from Major League Baseball's permanently ineligible list."
First time playing Forza since #2 and it appears that the series has gone the way of Saints Row. Like it was made by a 12 year old to be played by 8 year olds.

ESPN absolutely blows. The audio is horrendous. Sounds like there’s nobody at the stadium today. Piece of trash network should cease to exist. They can’t do anything right
A spokesman for the DOD said in a statement that they are “pleased” that “DEI content” — the history of Jackie Robinson’s military service — was removed. This is white supremacy as government policy.
for dinner i'm making fried polenta cakes with short ribs in roasted red pepper sauce. it was a big hit around here the last time i made it, hopefully it turns out good
Jon, I'm a fine cook, but I often overlook or plain forget about side dishes. For example this evening I made a nice leek and parsnip soup, but didn't get anything in to have with it, hence it was underwhelming. Obviously it depends on the dish, but what are your go-to sides?
I live near where the Luddites were supposedly from. Never visited the Ned Ludd pub though. Whenever you're near Michael, I'll take you for a pint.

I appreciate the deep reporting here but would add one thing: This isn’t just an attack on the federal workforce. It’s an assault on the entire country. We ALL rely on government services that Musk is paralyzing. The impact of his cuts will only grow more horrific.

Do you use a credit card? Rent or own a home? Use utilities like water and electricity? Send your kids to school? Have a job? Eat? Drink? Deposit money in a bank, or withdraw it? The government provides services and safeguards that enable us to do ALL of this safely. Now Musk is taking it all away.

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.
They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”
(I'm so sorry, I apologize in advance, I swear this is a baseball thing)
speaking of AI images, is this what right down the dick means?
(sorry. I can't apologize enough.)
Shed a tear at my work desk today listening to @robdelaney.bsky.social's Desert Island Discs. Then he picks Heatmiser and I have the biggest fuck-off smile on my face. What a fucking dude.
Had a dream last night where I joined a work call and @iamtrevormay.bsky.social was on it giving a presentation on some aspect of reaching your goals. I kept interrupting to tell him which of his youtube videos I'd watched. It was awkward.
I don't think "first world problem" even begins to describe this gripe, but
Office changed their coloring system so now new emails aren't yellow, they're the same blue as the baseline icon, and now i'm never going to notice I have a new email? who thought this was a good idea
I was listening to a FanGraphs audio episode from the end of 2017 the other day (Dec 1st if anyone cares) and Dave Cameron said something to the effect of "Craig Kimbrel is already a Hall of Fame lock unless his arm falls off tomorrow"
Has he pitched himself out of it?
- 2.05 ERA in 44 regular-season innings
- 1.08 ERA in 8 1/3 playoff innings
No wonder the #Yankees have interest in bringing this left-hander back to the Bronx:

i think that if you give people scratch-offs as a holiday gift, they should have to give you the money if they win anything. well, there you go. hopefully this extraordinarily terrible stupid-ass opinion brightens your day
