Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Natalie Zemon Davis (1928-2023). A brilliant, warm, inspiring teacher, a person of astonishing generosity and integrity, and one of the greatest historians of our time. May her memory be a blessing.

[Lewis Black @TheLewisBlack]

As @Orioles fans, all we can do is enjoy it from here on out.

[Baltimore Orioles @Orioles]

The moment our magic number became zero.

You just can't escape him.

[Orioles on MASN @masnOrioles]

The Baltimore Orioles are playoff bound!

Gary Cohen on the Orioles/Kevin Brown controversy.

"Let me just say one thing to Baltimore Orioles management. You draped yourself in humiliation when you fired Jon Miller. And you're doing it again. And if you don't want Kevin Brown, there are 29 other teams who do."

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

Happy “@Orioles are in first, Yankees in last place” day to all who celebrate #orioles #birdland

as someone who's read a lot, like a lot of french history, this is the most french thing i've ever seen.

[Jesse Case @jessecase]

The news is always like: "America has banned wheelchair ramps because they weren't in the Bible. Finland has made ice cream free."

I’ll save you the read: the answer is yes https://t.co/x2kzQV13x9

Easy to explain. One claims to represent the community. The others actually DO represent the community.

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

The Oakland A's had 2,064 fans in attendance last night.

That's just 4% of their seating capacity, and it's the least amount of fans at a home game in 40+ years.

Meanwhile, Oakland's new women's soccer club, Oakland Soul SC, drew 5,000 fans this week for its inaugural home match just 10 miles away.

Spoiler alert: It's not the fan's fault.

[🌊💙 Viking Resistance 💙🌊 @BlueCrewViking]

Nightly PSA: The increasingly common slogan "The United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy" is, on the one hand, illiterate nonsense and an assertion of ignorance, and on the other, a low-key expression of fascism.

Connie Chung, Terrapin legend!

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

The New York Times invited Connie Chung into a studio with 10 other Connies named after her. When it was her turn, Connie Koh explained she’d picked the name after college. “You’re an iconic person,” she told Ms. Chung, who had grown teary.

[Oakland Education Association @OaklandEA]

Happening now at our BIG PICKET at Glenview Elementary School (4215 La Cresta Ave, Oakland, CA 94602)!

2 million dollars for @ejeancarroll

No on rape and yes on sexual assault

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

as for what there is for civilians to do? well, in general, we can act politically as to ameliorate the conditions that produce jordan neelys and expand and adequately fund the services necessary to help jordan neelys…

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Warnock: "Thoughts and prayers are not enough. In fact, it is a contradiction to say you are thinking and praying and then do nothing. It is to make a mockery of prayer. It is to trivialize faith."
