I ditched the NFL in 2017 when team owners colluded to keep Colin Kaepernick out of the game for having the audacity to raise awareness about racial inequality and police violence. I will never regret that decision.

It only took a month for me to see the difference in my credit card bill. But the fact that I don't miss Target tells me I was buying a bunch of stuff I didn't need from a company that didn't deserve my money.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a β€œrigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

Are his religious beliefs so fragile that a flag might cause them to crumble? Does he have no faith in his faith?

The Corporate Miscreants Driving the Affordability Crisis These 20 firms all have something in common: Their CEOs get paid millions, their workers are being pushed onto public assistance, and voters are fed up with them.

Brian Niccol of Starbucks took home the award for the most nonsensical disparity between CEO and employee income: He earns $95,801,676, while the median salary for a Starbucks employee was a mere $14,674. trib.al/RMejLDH

Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

The thing about a tough Boston winter (and I've lived here too long to think this one is done with us) is that you really feel like you've earned a day like this. Makes it extra sweet.

Seeking solace in the crack of a bat - The Boston Globe In the midst of turmoil, the call of "play ball" will be more welcome than ever.

I know the world is… yeah… right now. However: love this opinion piece from noted Mets fan @rygraham.bsky.social asking for baseball season to arrive soon. Can’t wait to be β€œmad” at my 60-win Nationals instead of <sweeping gesture>.

This reminds me of when I would strongly tell my dog to stop licking himself but he couldn't hear me over the sound of him licking himself.

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americansβ€”and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for itβ€”was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

The glue of MAGA is racism, but its supporters don't want to be called racist so they pretend that what draws them to Trump are a better economy or an "America first" agenda β€” neither of which he has delivered. And yet they still cling to him because Trump hates the same people they hate.

The original was both of its time and timeless, at least to me. But as you’ve said, we’ll see.
