    Hmm... really makes you wonder why they weren't banned? Almost like the league didn't want to open up a bigger can of worms

    Astros fans say that one a lot.  I have seriously not read of any other team doing the trash can thing and the amount of tech that the Stros used to do it.  That sounds a lot like whataboutism to me. But all this really stemmed from your original post of  Springer and 'karma.'   Which we'll never agree on apparently.

    Anyway, congrats to whoever was rooting for Toronto, including you if that is the case.

    Go ahead and let it all out.  It will make you feel better.    
     

    Then in the light of a new day you can reflect on how silly your first sentence is.   The Astros took the bullet for what most teams in MLB were doing, and now baseball is better for it.   
     

    Time to move on like all other fans outside of NY and LA have.  

    You're mistaking me for being upset.  I'm not.   No ill will towards Toronto.  But could never root for Springer. And I think you're last sentence is dead wrong.  Most non-Astros fans won't 'move on.'

    Even when the Astros aren't in the playoffs the Mariners can't escape them. Happy for George. Feels a bit like karma after he got kneecapped. 

    The better team won the series but "karma" should have seen him and his fellow cheaters banned from baseball.  But I guess in this instance that lack of accountability is a good mirror of our larger society at the moment.

  4. Seemed to me once they saw Miller didn't have it and the drubbing was on that they chose to just go with it and  rest other arms.  Scherzer in the playoffs spooks me though.  Don't care what his ERA is or how he did during the season. 

  5. But he makes funny tweets.

    Despite widespread opposition from California educator groups, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed unprecedented legislation Tuesday that supporters say will crack down on antisemitism in the state’s classrooms.

    The bill, Assembly Bill 715 — introduced by Democratic Assemblymembers Rick Chavez Zbur of Los Angeles and Dawn Addis of San Luis Obispo — establishes a new Office of Civil Rights and a first-in-the-nation statewide Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator in an effort to rein in antisemitism in schools. The bill was a joint effort between the chairs of California’s legislative diversity caucuses, including the Black, Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, and Jewish caucuses.

    Opponents of the bill include ACLU California Action, the Association of California School Administrators, California County Superintendents, the California School Boards Association, the Council of UC Faculty Associations, Jewish Voice for Peace Bay Area chapter and the University of California Student Association, among others.

    The California Teachers Association also strongly opposed AB 715, warning the bill may dissuade educators from discussing controversial or sensitive topics and deprive students of an “inclusive and honest education.”

    The teacher’s union said Tuesday that classroom instruction that includes perspectives and materials reflecting the diversity of all California students is at the heart of public education, which “fuels our democracy.”

    “AB 715 raises serious free speech concerns, leaving teachers uncertain about what they can lawfully say in the classroom on a wide range of issues,” said CTA President David Goldberg. “At a time when too many are seeking to attack academic freedom and weaponize public education, AB 715 would unfortunately arm ill-intentioned people with the ability to do so.”

  6. Saw a reddit post that floated the concept of giving school teachers the same sign-on bonuses, salaries, and debt forgiveness they are giving to ICE employees currently.  

    Always interesting just how much money they can come up with when they want to do so.

    The translation that landpalestine posted:

    The man: My children died (repeated), my wife and my family, my children are gone. I was going to give this to my daughter for her birthday that was five days ago, 18/10 is her birthday. My daughter died, she is two years old, and Baraa is eight years old, and Aman is five years old. My loved ones died, and not one of them is left alive"

    takeaway one: old spray paint hair is flying awfully close to the sun.  he said next week's lines today oops oh fuck who cares

    takeaway two: that cnn host is a bitch for letting him get away with that

    Regarding number two, from what I'm seeing on reddit (so not totally verified) CNN edited this part out when they uploaded the video.  Kind of tells you all you need to know.

    Edit:  The YouTube upload was indeed edited.  Comments are calling it out but yeah.
