Always interesting to see the festering slime you uncover once a post blows up enough to knock over a few rocks.

The A's fan base was fantastically creative in its support of an often beleaguered team, creating the kind of MLB experience revered throughout the league. These things show a way forward for sports struggling to sustain interest in pop culture. MLB abandons this at its peril.

One of the things I realized with Liu is that, once again, people from Oakland are taking something once thought stodgy and traditional, adding a contemporary spin, and making it relevant again. Who would've ever had a figure skater dominating the pop culture convo in 2026?

In case you wanted to know what Epstein Island looked like when they cleaned up for the investigators.
Baseball in Las Vegas is about to be redefined! The A’s, world-renowned restaurateur Will Guidara, and Aramark Sports + Entertainment have unveiled the vision for the Athletic Club, a first-of-its-kind, all-inclusive hospitality experience located directly behind home plate in

In case you need some Irony today and don’t want to take a supplement.
We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region. I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security. Ukraine helps

Offsides current implementation in football rewards crummy defenses and unskilled technical BS like offsides traps. My crazy idea? Any pass started within the last 20 or 25m before goal should not be callable for offside. You defend a corner by /defending/ a corner, not traps.

I like any relaxation of offside rules until we /actually/ see problems. Traditionalists always wail that it'll make everyone stack up in the back, but it always leads to (slightly) more goals, which is more entertaining.
Wondering what football would look like under Wenger's "daylight" offside law? Raheem Sterling would be onside in this example, the heel playing him onside. NB: You still need the offside lines, and you still have marginal decisions.

Good. Fucking. Lords. Newsom is that Bay Area person, and we ALL know ‘em, that will put up the “In this house we believe…” signs, have a big BLM bumper sticker, bash Trump 24/7, all the woke hashtags on their socials, but won’t set foot in Oakland. It clearly shows.
Gavin Newsom is absolutely KILLING IT with the black crowd in Georgia: "I am like you. I'm a 960 SAT guy. I can't read. Hopefully that doesn’t offend you.” Yikes.

The left recoiling from expressions of patriotism is its undoing. You believe crap like this, blast it out, and then are shocked when people find us unrelatable in elections. I’m constantly imploring my friends not to cede patriotism to the right. They agree, but still do it.
If waving the American flag or chanting “USA!” turns you off right now, you're not alone.

I think this needs to be fixed stat. You go with what everyone is celebrating about your community and Gu is not it.
SF is so crazy because we have a figure skater who won two gold medals for the USA and a skiier who won two silvers for China… and we choose the latter to lead our parade 🫠

This is the thing. If AI-bros want to impress, we need a live demo of the AI taking any random adjustment note (perhaps from an audience or panel) and changing that one specific note while leaving everything else intact. Right now it’s a dice roll from one iteration to the next.
@ABAOProductions There is a use case for every tool, AI being one of them. The first time I really heard about ML in production was DD's Masquerade. No VFX artist I know thinks AI is useless, it's just that image and video generation tools aren't iterative enough for production. Right now,

Weirdo alternative girl from Oakland wins a gold medal and Presidential tariffs are ruled null. The Earth is healing itself.
Gorsuch is a G*d-d*mned genius: "For those who think it important for the Nation to impose more tariffs, I understand that today’s decision will be disappointing. All I can offer them is that most major decisions affecting the rights and responsibilities of the American people

WAKE UP PEOPLE!
I love the Olympics, but I don’t love the surge of reactionary nationalism that comes with it. We should be standing together as a united human race against the true enemy: people who went to Stanford

The constant antagonism of the old fan base means this moron will effectively be running an expansion franchise with no head start on fan support.
Unless this fucker is celebrating the year he finally stole the team from Oakland, get that fucking number off that jersey.

Wow, nothing gets by her! Must be that Stanfurd education.
