Super Sky Point to Randolph Mantooth, the man who brought to life Emergency’s great Johnny Gage. Always my favorite character on a show that ranks among the 70s’ most iconic primetime dramas. St. Peter, better have the Ringer’s lactate ready. He’ll know what to do with it. #RIP

The now infamous open letter from Amber Tamblyn to MAGAt James Woods, as published in @TeenVogue.

Dear Mr. Woods,

What you are experiencing is called a teachable moment. It is called a gift. It is called a humbling. It is called Jesus, I come to thee. It is called an awakening. It is called a growth edge. It is called hope.

The hope being that through this experience, you can change. You can redefine the man who will come after this moment and this man who came before.

Since you've now called me a liar, I will now call you a silencer. I see your gaslight and now will raise you a scorched earth.

My friend Billy and I were at the Roxy on Sunset Boulevard seeing a band we loved. We decided to go to Mel's diner on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood to get burgers after. I had just gotten my driver's license and very specifically remember my nervousness trying to park in the diner parking lot. Upon leaving the restaurant we were stopped by you and your friend, who both seemed very nice. At one point you suggested we should all go to Las Vegas together. "It's such a great place, have you ever been?" You tried to make it sound innocent. This is something predatory men like to do, I've noticed. Make it sound innocent. Just a dollop of insinuation. Just a hair of persuasion. Just a pinch of suggestion. "It will be so much fun, I promise you. Nothing has to happen, we will just have a good time together." I told you my age, kindly and with no judgment or aggression. I told you my age because I thought you would be immediately horrified and take back your offer. You laughed and said, "Even better. We'll have so much fun, I promise."

Here's the thing, Mr. Woods. At that time I was not a public persona. I had done a couple years on a soap opera as an actress, but you wouldn't know me from Adam. I'm sure you've racked your brain trying to remember how you could've possibly hit on the actress Amber Tamblyn at a diner almost two decades ago. You think, it's not possible, there's no way I would've been so stupid as to hit on a 16-year-old known actress. But I wasn't known then, James. I was just a girl. And I'm going to wager that there have been many girls who were just girls or women who were just women who you've done this to because you can get away with it.

The saddest part of this story doesn't even concern me but concerns the universal woman's story. The nation's harmful narrative of disbelieving women first, above all else. Asking them to first corroborate or first give proof or first make sure we're not misremembering or first consider the consequences of speaking out or first let men give their side or first just let your sanity come last.

So it is with hope, Mr. Woods, that I ask you to go inward now and ask yourself the hard stuff. The ominous unconscious stuff. The archetypal masculinity stuff. The power-play stuff. The perversion persuasion stuff. The secretive stuff. The id's most cherished stuff.

Only you and your darkness know who you are. Only you and your actions know what you've done. That means you and only you have the power to change your behavior.

Are you and your history with women and girls a part of the problem, Mr. Woods?

Go now and look in the mirror and ask yourself if this is true. Go on, I'll wait. But I won't hold my breath.

@stevemadden_111 @KevinKeneely1 More than likely not much at all, if anything. That fat contract is pretty much a deal breaker.

[Captain America's Conscience @Sinister04GT]

@IndyHawk89 Absolutely. He is an absolute train wreck at the plate. I'm of the opinion a change of scenery might do him, and the Braves, a world of good.

[Captain America's Conscience @Sinister04GT]

@DianeFranklin80 What a crush I had on you! ☺️ I hope you are doing well!

[Captain America's Conscience @Sinister04GT]

@CelliniNick @Braves The sad thing is you could see this coming as soon as he stepped in the batter's box.

@ItsTheEnforcer He's a f*cking idiot that has no idea what he's doing, besides taking money from Americans. What do you expect?

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

I need help sharing this

[Captain America's Conscience @Sinister04GT]

@mlbbowman I don't believe spending 30 minutes with Chipper is gonna help. He's too far down at this point. He needs to spend hours upon hours with him, at a minimum.

[BlueDream @58bugeye]

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was caught sneaking out of speaker Mike Johnson’s office.

A Supreme Court justice should not have a private meeting with the speaker of the house.

What were they talking about?

[Captain America's Conscience @Sinister04GT]

@mlbbowman I honestly don't believe he wanted to be here in the first place. He got his money, and that's all he was looking for. 1 and done. He needs to go now, as he is doing nothing but burning up a roster spot.

@CelliniNick @chrisdimino @MattEdgarAtl @MattLear @dt680 @680TheFan @Braves 1) Ice cold bats.
2) Starting pitching.
3) No apparent leader in the clubhouse.

[Captain America's Conscience @Sinister04GT]

@CelliniNick It's not just the rotation. Mr .070 at shortstop, Captain Average at 3rd base is doing us no favors, and no one else os hitting, either. Bats have been in the freezer this whole month.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:

"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Today, I’m announcing something new to fight back against Donald Trump and his attacks on our democracy. I'm launching Back The Bold to restore accountability in Washington.
The mission is straightforward: to back leaders with the courage to say what needs to be said, do what needs to be done, and hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable. That means supporting Democrats and Independents who refuse to flinch. It's time to be bold.  Join the fight.

@CelliniNick @Braves These fellas are fading fast. It's not a pretty scene to witness. Sorta reminds me of all ATL franchises.
