Alright everyone, that’s a wrap on this week. This comment is peak kinja this week and we should just knock off early and head to the bar. I look forward to reconvening Monday morning for Barry’s opening post.

Nah, you just get a bullpen full of alt-right handed fireballers .

“We reached out to Curt’s friends, MAGAgirl07898714 and PepeNotRazist8761412, and they told us via DM...”

Tough to be an MLB pitching coach when you refuse to work with lefties.

When did this guy become so aggrieved? Somewhere between idolized baseball play to shitty business person he became a real jackass, and I just don’t understand the transformation. Totally jobbed the state out of money, left it paying a tab, and he’s the victim?

This level-headed kind of response to allegations of something like misconduct is just one of the many, many reasons we finally need a woman in the Oval - a woman like Warren, that is.

This is kind of what I expect a good leader to do. And I actually respect the fact that they haven’t publicly said what he did. I think that’s the professional and correct approach.

Think about this:

As a Columbia alumnus and someone who took orgo, I can vouch for the fact that people who were serious about studying for the Orgo exam the night before the test knew not to go to the library. Everyone was at the library that night to listen to the band, not to study.

This underplays what Orgo Night is. I saw this story elsewhere, and it led me into a rabbit hole. Here’s what I took away (and I’ll happily stand corrected if any Columbia alumni can offer better info):

My advice to all of them is to start drinking heavily.

At the Yale game in 2001, at the height of the anthrax scare, when Yale was hoarding the cure, the band formed the shape of a Cipro pill. Pure art.

There are two members in the center (presumably the “color guard”) who are simply carrying “wet floor” mini-sandwich board signs... Why am I only discovering this now?!

Just watched the embedded video... There's a guy front and center who is drumming on toilet seat/cover which is draped around his neck... If this isn't what college is supposed to be about, what purpose is it serving?

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!

I recently was at an event where the opperator of a race track was talking. He was very hard on Santa Anita and very proud that the track he worked for/with hadn’t had a fatality in x number of years.

As somebody who grew up in Pennsylvania, here is what I have heard about Joe Paterno for 40 years.

If you see something, and you have the savvy and insight of a psychiatrist, say something.

I feel the leadership of Penn State was totally, outrageously attacked over this. I think they’re blameless.

A wiser man than I summed him up best- Gladwell writes books for people who don’t read books.
