Meanwhile the Yankees play patty cake in the nap nap room after their warm milky
That Pat Murphy interview on the FOX desk just twisted the knife in me. Talking about how he’s not going to be liked by the players all the time but it’s about setting the standard in the clubhouse and everyone buying in. Must be nice.

Yankees are an absolute embarrassment. He actually said this Nobody respects the Yankees anymore. The entire league thinks that franchise is a clown show. Fuck Cashman for doing this to OUR team. And fuck Hal who will do absolutely nothing about it.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy to Jake Bauers after the World Series: “You’re gonna be a rich fucker. Just remember when you’re on that horse shit Yankee team and you’re all playing for yourselves… just remember this is way we used to do it.”

Possible hot take: the close-out scenario in baseball seems much more difficult than the other "major" sports bc every game has to end with one final play... you can't just run the clock all the way down like you can with football, hoops etc

The Brewers entered this inning up, 2-0. They are now ahead, 10-0. They had seven straight hits and scored all eight runs with two outs. And to think, the Rays thought they were out of the inning with no runs until a replay overturn. This was the Brewers' piece de resistance.

PSA: This week was kind of a turning point for AI and cybersecurity. Please take this weekend to do some simple cleanup for your family. Some suggestions: - Set up a password manager like 1Password and give your spouse or partner access to a shared vault. Teach them how to use it. - Update your passwords for critical stuff - your email account, your bank or financial stuff, etc. Store in your password manager and use the strongest password you can. - Use two factor auth for everything you can. SMS is not ideal although better than nothing. Google Authenticator or a passkey is better. Hardware key is safest.) - Add a sim pin to your phone. Makes it harder to sim jack. - Update your phone and your computer to the newest releases. Turn auto-updates on. - Freeze your credit - takes 5 minutes. - Get an IRS Identity Protection PIN. - If you’re using claude code or have AI agents that browse the web, they’re probably using Node.js. It’s also vulnerable. Update claude code, update node on your machine. - If you’re building stuff on your computer, ask claude or grokbot (which is connected to twitter and likely has the most current info) to audit any of your repos for vulnerabilities. Ask grok to make it a scheduled task so it can do this daily - things are moving very quickly in the space right now. - Consider some light resiliency stuff. This probably sounds silly, but it sounded silly at the beginning of covid too. Having printed out copies of important stuff - especially financial accounts. Having some cash on hand. Having some shelf-stable food and clean water or a water filter. Having a map. Having a generator that can at least power your fridge or some devices. Cheap insurance. Again, I don’t want to alarm people, but I was taught that you should have a Secure plan, a Comfortable plan, and a Wealthy plan. And it seems pretty clear the secure plan needs to now factor cybersecurity risk as a legit threat. Take a weekend and shore yourself up.

Let me explain reality… if you have but sixty seconds: They were targeting Elon They were targeting him with fake charges because the socialist-industrial complex is terrified that he would expose their long grift. They came after him for the Model 3 and Elon’s claims around its potential. That potential was realized, and it became, along with the Model Y, the best-selling electric vehicle ever created. These were fake charges to try to stop somebody from building the best category-defining product. Let that sink in: that's how evil these motherfuckers are. The loooooong grift has been exposed: socialist grifters are stealing our tax dollars to fund fringe lunacy, NGOs and government programs without oversight or audits. They’re parasites incapable of creating any product or service that has to compete in the open market. Elon creates a couple of cutting-edge products each year, and half of them succeed. Some of them actually change the world. Some of them fail brutally. It's called capitalism. It's called creation. This is what moves the human condition forward: trying things. Trying really hard things. Socialists come for the people building valuable products and services — that’s the tell Keep your eye out for the people who've created nothing and risked nothing, but who are attacking the people who risk everything to create Something. That's the tell.
Kara Swisher says Elon Musk might be in jail right now if Kamala Harris was in office and “he knows what’s coming” if Democrats take back power.

On the Bulwak podcast, Kara Swisher says Elon might already be in jail under Kamala Harris, and "he knows what's coming for him." Another one to put in the "what Democrats plan to do if they take power" file: "If Donald Trump loses the House and the Senate, I would worry. I'd be worried if I were him." "So they're going to start investigating again. You think he's not on the list? He's at the top of that list." "He has a very big sense of fate. And I think it's coming for him. And real hard." They're all just saying this stuff out loud now. There are no secrets about what they want to do.

There is no Right. There is just “not the Left.” Being on the Right today is the same as being a Protestant in the 16th century: No one agrees on anything, they just know they’re not Catholic.

Do you understand why they made a list of everyone who got a MAGA hat? Hillary Clinton wants reeducation camps. She said “Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen.” AOC called for increased spending (imagine that) to fund government de-radicalization “programs.” Bernie Sanders staffers are on video saying gulag style reeducation camps will be needed for Trump supporters. During a June 2024 Zoom town hall, Collins (running against Rep. Elise Stefanik) said: “Even if we were to have a resounding blue wave come through, as many of us would like, putting it all back together again after we’ve gone through this MAGA nightmare and re-educating basically, which, that sounds like a rather, a re-education camp. I don’t think we really want call it that. I’m sure we can find another way to phrase it.” Their plan is to round up MAGA supporters and put us all in camps. Believe them when they say it, because it’s their plan along with open borders, stacking the Supreme Court, trans everything and the complete and total destruction of our country.
