    I&amp;#39;m willing to put up with a lot that&amp;#39;s less than ideal about the #WPBL at this stage out of a desire to support the concept, and I understand that aluminum bats and 7 inning games aligns with existing international women&amp;#39;s league standards, but I think it&amp;#39;s a terrible look for a women&amp;#39;s pro league in 2026 to play for less time than the men&amp;#39;s league. The WPHL doesn&amp;#39;t play shorter games than the NHL. That makes no sense to me. #baseball

    Is it just me, or does it seem like the Dodgers thought they could mail it in this series? #redsox #baseball

    Some interesting analysis about the #adleyrutschman trade here. I&amp;#39;m still surprised the Os were willing to make this trade within the division. #redsox #mlb #baseball https://deadspin.com/red-sox-went-all-in-for-adley-rutschman-but-this-trade-feels-awfully-risky/

    This post - a series of photos of Roman Anthony and bestie Marcelo Mayer, now traded to the Giants -- made me verklempt. That said, it is sad, and I know many of us were attached to Mayer already, but I don&amp;#39;t hate this deal. Mayer was underperforming, and while he could turn it around, the Sox have also made the mistake of holding on too long to guys that didn&amp;#39;t. #redsox #baseball https://www.instagram.com/p/DbmjcuFl4FM/?igsh=MTlldWp4MzRsZGhhNg==

    Very shrewd of the #RedSox to go on a losing streak and deflect some of the cheating allegations ... #baseball #mlb

    So I guess we got ourselves a streaky team...😬 Hope this is the start of another winning run. #redsox #baseball #mlb

    That Post about #PostpartumDepression is a handy demonstration of why #women MUST have voices, votes and representation in government. Because cishet men have had millenia to get a clue, and they&amp;#39;re still coming at us with garbage like that in 2026. #MattWalsh #whyaremen

    Today in what the actual goddamned fuck: &amp;quot;[The judge]ruled that Minnesota’s lawsuit was premature because Abbott has not yet denied its extradition request. &amp;quot;The record reflects only that Governor Abbott has neither agreed nor refused to sign the rendition warrant as to Castro,&amp;quot; the judge wrote.&amp;quot; #ICEOUT #ABOLISHICE 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ https://www.foxnews.com/us/judge-clears-path-ice-agent-accused-minnesota-shooting-case-leave-texas-jail

    21 years ago today, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. Its aftermath did more to shatter my youthful innocence about the world than 9/11. That&amp;#39;s just a fact. I don&amp;#39;t know why I took notice of the date today, and not on the 20th anniversary last year. But today, it&amp;#39;s on my mind.

    @Brian_Mahoney I might have avoided it last year because there were lots of videos and shows out, and I still really can&amp;#39;t watch those. I saw enough at the time.

    Nice to see the #RedSox win one today. I predict they split the series, just because these two teams historically tend to play to a draw unless an outcome is forced. #redsoxyankees #mlb #baseball

    Ugly, gut-punch blowout loss in NY today. Should we be glad we were even playing such a meaningful game in late August, given how this season began? Or is it even more maddening, in the end, to be given possibly false hope? #redsox #baseball

    Watching #RedSox play-by-play on the phone and a #NewEnglandPatriots drive on TV. Still the most wonderful time of the year in my world. #nfl #mlb #football #baseball #sports

    Not only does half of #Congress seem uninterested in their constitutional responsibility for declarations of war, they&#39;re also happy to approve any amount of money -- money taken from literally hungry children and vulnerable people who need medical care, among other things -- to perpetuate the farcical conflict with #Iran destabilizing the entire world... They ALSO attached the #SAVEAct, which would destroy voting rights as we know it, to the whole rancid mess. #NDAA https://time.com/arti...

    Say, sports fans, do you prefer your #baseball cut with constant chatter and stream-of-consciousness blather between sportscasters and players, including the ones actually on the field trying to play the game? If so, you are in luck with tonight&#39;s #AllStarGame, my friends!
