I will talk your ear off about Curling. You just have to deal with that.

Question for the masses. How close does an overturned ABS challenge have to be where you aren't mad that it was missed? I'm not fully sure myself, but it's hard for me to get upset at an ump for missing a call that was, say, .2 inches off.

I'm nothing if not consistent. Ten Years of checking @timehop daily.

Mike Marshall holds the official MLB record of most appearances by a pitcher in a season with 106. If Murphy can have it his way, Aaron Ashby will shatter that record by at least 50.

@chelsealeite Not a college team, but a Catholic HS in WI are known as the Popes and Lady Popes...which is certainly a choice

A hill I'm willing to die on: The only people who can brag about calling an upset in the tournament or for having a strong bracket are those who only fill out one bracket. #MarchMadness

With @nytimes releasing the Midi, it's now time for them to make the Mini free again! #FreeTheMini

If you only invoke the Second Amendment after children are murdered in their schools, but defend the government when it claims someone deserved to be executed for being legally armed, then you do not believe in the Second Amendment

@parkerolsen25 Reporting back. Thunder Chickens was not picked. The team name is Rally Madison FC. Which I don't hate.

[Joe Mabie @JoeMabie]

At the naming announcement for the new Madison soccer team. The colors suggest Thunder Chickens have a chance. @parkerolsen25 should be here.

[Joe Mabie @JoeMabie]

@parkerolsen25 @EvanBollerUWW @parkerolsen25 a completely missed opportunity by the Nightmares. Though the odds are low, I'm hoping the new women's soccer team coming to Madison will do the right thing. #ThunderChickens

[Joe Mabie @JoeMabie]

@parkerolsen25 @MasonRaeck And yet, the Badgers still managed to lose by two touchdowns...

[Joe Mabie @JoeMabie]

I like this move. What I'm most interested in is not how many calls get reversed, but how many times a player thinks the call was wrong, when it was actually correct.

BREAKING: Major League Baseball will use the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS) during the entire 2026 season

ABS CHALLENGE RULES:

- Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if they're successful

- Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, and the request must come right after the pitch

- To signal a challenge, the pitcher, catcher, or batter will tap his hat or helmet to let the umpire know

- No help from the dugout or other players on the field is allowed

- In each extra inning, a team will be awarded a challenge if it has none remaining entering the inning

The ABS Challenge System powered by T-Mobile 5G network uses cameras set up around the perimeter of the field to track the location of each pitch and a graphic on the scoreboard shows the result of the challenge

Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment.

Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable.

That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses.

But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects.

This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate.

I ran for Congress because I’m sick of this cycle — sick of watching extremists on the right and performative purists on the left treat America like their personal stage show while working-class families get crushed. Enough.

Violence is not the answer. But neither is pretending that Charlie Kirk is some innocent casualty. He chose this path. He pushed this rhetoric. And now we’re all living in the world it created.

How I'm feeling now that the @nytimes mini is behind a paywall.

[Joe Mabie @JoeMabie]

I understand that every streaming app tries to do something to stand out above the others, but @paramountplus choosing to just be so much worse than everyone else is a bold strategy.

[Joe Mabie @JoeMabie]

@CyrtHogg I like this move. Having him pitch in a full size major league stadium where the attendance is that of a minor league team will be a good way to ease his transition back.

[Joe Mabie @JoeMabie]

@charliekirk11 If you want to push that argument, let's talk about how the second amendment was written about single shot muskets, not AR-15s
