I'm not nearly obsessed with this wedding as some people have been on social media, but I'm happy for both of them

I suspect he'll attend OTAs and mandatory minicamp and then go on his honeymoon.

I'm in line for a massive pay raise. But less about the economy than they can't afford to lose me.

I csn see him being there then doing the honeymoon.

Its LITERALLY the same thing Elon did. Obviously neither Elon or Booker are Nazi’s, but it’s honestly hilarious that he did this and we all know it will get next to zero coverage in the media.

If you're going to go through the trouble of have a wedding, you're going to have a rehearsal dinner. And it's largely based on what the bride wants.

I hope he’s somewhere far far away enjoying his honeymoon for the next week or two.

I think he will be there. They will honeymoon in the dead season between mini camp and camp I'd imagine. That said if he does miss one or two it isn't an issue in the slightest and I'd understand it.

Cool. I’m curious if any dads who have actually hosted a daughters wedding agree with that opinion. In my experience, brides want every thing to go smoothly on their wedding day. Don’t get me wrong. I think todays weddings are very much “over produced”. My girls were both strongly encouraged to hire a “wedding planner” for another couple thousand on top of other costs. To their credit both girls figured that they didn’t need a planner. But a quick run through so everyone knows what they do when? I think that’s a good idea.

There was a long line of people waiting to get into the back room to see Brandon Beane. Apparently no GM can refuse a request on his QB's wedding day.

Coincidentally, my daughter also had her reception party yesterday. Sackets Harbor NY is still such a cool little small town

Dude just got married in California. One would think he'd be forgiven for missing a week of voluntary workouts. I think he's there but maybe just not tomorrow and they're saving the honeymoon for after mandatory minicamp.

So, sticking with the original tariffs is deliberately running the economy into the ground and renegotiating to one that works for both sides is chickening out? Got it. I get not liking the tariffs, but creating a scenario where you are impossible to please regardless of any result just makes a person a troll.

This can't be true. I heard people say the tariffs would cause runaway inflation if not hyper inflation! Surely this is a mistake

Now that Joshy isn't a V anymore, is he going to lose his edge? No more running hard?

I did and I saw Nazis everywhere hiding behind fake virtue signaling

It is the definition of trivial.

A mention of Lake Street Dive in the "Rocker Chick" thread reminded me of this cover: and this one:

I hate New Jersey Nazis !

Yeah the Yankees are not in the Dodgers class. If NYY can get by the Tigers and win the AL they need to hope that San Diego or some other team who the Dodgers can't get erect for knocks them out in a 5 game series. The Yanks bring out the best in the Dodgers because LA is obscenely talented and deep but only beating the most storied franchise on the planet can get them focused enough to play to their talent. The Yanks aren't on that level because Hal Steinbrenner and Cashman use the "it works for the AL Central" model of just doing enough to get to the playoffs. This maximizes profit because the stadium is virtually sold out regardless now(unlike in the George era when fans would stay away if the team wasn't great). Their payroll is high relative to the rest of the league that aren't the Dodgers........but so much of that is sunk costs like DP LePew, Junkelbows Stanton, Aaron Hicks etc.. 1970's and 1990's-2000's George wouldn't accept being just good enough to win if he was this close. He wouldn't knowingly go into the season with one guy in the starting lineup with .500 OPS level talent like they have so often at positions like 3B or LF over the last decade. If they had 9 good starters they'd add Daryl Strawberry and Tim Raines to the bench. In the 1970's they did exactly what the Dodgers are doing now. George had a 4 man rotation with 8 highly paid starting pitchers under contract so that when 4 of them were injured they still had starting pitching for days. George would sign good starters from the Reds, Dodger and Red Sox in hopes of getting performance but also to weaken their competition. Sparky Lyle just won the Cy Young award? Go out and sign the next best, younger reliever in Rich Gossage and make him the closer. 1980's George got caught up in the collusion era and took the kind of half measures his son Hal is now......but for different reasons.........and that's why they couldn't win a WS. We may look back in hindsight on these Dodgers teams and not remember just how much talent they've acquired because guys like Snell and Glasnow may never be healthy but they've really stacked the deck and the Yankees should be doing the same thing. They don't have an excuse not to. They generate more revenue, they are a far bigger global brand etc..

IT’S WAY PAST TIME FROM THE SIXTIES: It’s Way Past Time to Defund PBS and NPR. This week, PBS launched a lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming that their First Amendment rights to free speech are being infringed. This follows a nearly identical suit filed by NPR last week. The claim is absurd. No one is trying to stop people at these networks from speaking, we just don’t want to fund them with tax dollars. It’s funny, we have been told for years that federal tax dollars make up a small portion of their funding, but when a Republican president finally decides to yank it, they act like it’s the end of the world. https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/05/its-way-past-time-to-defund-pbs-and-npr/

Where is The King these days anyway? Wherever he is I'm sure that he's still wearing a mask. 😂
