this is how the dodgers are rewarded for telling Nezza not to sing the anthem in Spanish and for Dave Roberts pretending he doesn't know enough about the ICE raids to comment on it. nothing is good enough for these creeps.

Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

("escaped by tearing down a shoddily constructed wall")





The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

A failure of verification (website failed), deliberation (card charged in error), and accountability (no idea what happens next). MAGA in a nutshell.

(AP's write-up)







I had the same reaction. Mamdani is such a threat in their view that they had to essentially reverse their non-endorsement policy. If Cuomo was cruising to victory, I doubt this piece would be written.

("The plan was shelved soon after, but the power authority had already spent $106 million, including on the lighting equipment and design costs. The authority was ultimately reimbursed by taxpayers. But it held onto the lights and equipment needed for the pet project — and that has come at an additional cost. The authority has paid $300,000 annually — at least $2.1 million — over more than 7 years to store the lights")















what I like is to pay giant companies more and more money for a shittier and shittier product until my head explodes

("The main factor affecting Royal Caribbean's operations with Juneau has mostly owed to the city's escalating docking fees for the cruising giant... Additionally, Juneau's local government has come into direct confrontation with Royal Caribbean over a new cruise terminal slated for construction on Douglas Island.")







("positive test results had spiked across the state’s prison system between April and July last year, raising suspicion that something was wrong")

Sumo, Japan's national sport, is grappling with a generational shift. As the greatest wrestler of all time departs the game, can a newly crowned hometown hero lead sumo into a new era? My latest, free to read: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

("as a new generation emerged, the public has seemed to yawn at more recent scandals, from hazing of junior members to substance abuse. These days, tickets sell out in moments. The sport has become particularly popular with young women.")







Being told the players will be wearing their team jersey in the All-Star Game. Excellent! However, bc MLB needs to make money on something. During all pre-game ASB activities, players will be wearing these. American League one has serious Al Bundy vibes

Favorite part of that sequence is the Padres pitcher who didn't even have his pants on and was on the verge of having to go out for the "fight". Baseball.

@nypost

It was a view to a nil. A flight attendant felt royally duped after booking what she thought was a hotel with a “gorgeous” city view — only to realize she’d been vacational-ly catfished.
