I am so happy that Bernie Sanders is with us today to be able to see the fruits of his labor. He cultivated a whole generation of young leaders through the movement he spawned who are now winning seats everywhere. And he gets to live to witness it. Thank you, Bernie.

If the Giants cancel pride night, I’m out on spending money on them. Simple as that. Hugely disrespectful to the culture of San Francisco to be pulling this shit

This is pretty cool because, if anything, it should remind people not to take the cinematic experience for granted. The magic of IMAX 70mm happens because of hard working people using their skills to give us something that is tangible and transcendent. Not just the click of a button with DCP.

Any filmmaker with even slightly less clout than Christopher Nolan would have had to do The Odyssey as a prestige streaming series. So thank goodness Nolan himself is the one who did it: whatsalanwatching.com/review…

“Gambling has become a more common leisure activity than reading a book.” This is just unimaginably bleak.
ALT Rose Horowitch in the Atlantic: "Some 2,000 years later, under very different circumstances, the darkness is gathering again. Americans, once members of a proudly literate society, read much less than they used to. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, which conducts the most comprehensive survey of the nation’s reading habits, fewer than half of all adults reported having read a book of any kind in 2022. Only 38 percent read a novel or short story. A study analyzing 236,000 responses to the American Time Use Survey found that the proportion of Americans who read for pleasure on any given day fell from 28 percent in 2004 to 16 percent in 2023. (The study looked at people who had read a book, magazine, or newspaper; listened to an audiobook; or read an e-book.) Gambling has become a more common leisure activity than reading a book: Last year, 57 percent of Americans placed a bet."

Abdul El-Sayed: “I know that antisemitism exists and it’s a very dangerous force. But I also know that trying to meld the interests of Judaism and the Jewish people with the interests of a Super PAC and a foreign government itself risks exacerbating antisemitism because just like I don’t want to be held accountable for what the Egyptian government does because I share ethnicity with the people who live in Egypt, I don’t think Jewish people in Michigan or America want to be held accountable for what the Israeli government does”
FIFA more woke that the @SFGiants what world are we living in
FIFA will allow Pride flags at the Egypt vs. Iran World Cup match despite both nations calling for them to be banned.
“The FIFA World Cup is an inclusive event that welcomes people from all backgrounds. Fans of all sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome at matches and events.”

There hasn’t been a single baseball-related move/decision from Buster Posey over the last two years that has made me more disappointed than his presser today. Organization needs a leader, and he was not that today.

OPINION: The response by the San Francisco Giants’ leadership to the Pride Night fiasco has led me and many others to reevaluate our loyalty to the hometown team. sfchronicle.com/opinion/open…

This was good work by the media folks.
Very tense moment between Buster Posey and the press when questioned about the Giants pride hats and their players.
Before this, he began with a statement saying the organization had shared their response on pride night and he wasn't going to revisit. @KPIXtv

You don’t get to move on, J.T. & Co.
You came into our house, with our history, disrespected our friends, family, and neighbors, and stirred up more opportunistic hate. You’re a stain on this city & this organization. Congrats, that’s your consequence.

This San Francisco Giants fan included the team in his wedding vows. He sent this scathing letter to the team for its Pride Night debacle.

This Giants Pride hat story is wearing thin on me. I keep having to read opinions from accounts who are either bots or too stupid to reason with. Pride is necessary and good, right wing bigots are wrong and should be mocked openly. Pretty open and shut case imo

Wouldn’t it be great if they took a stand about vile detention centers, poverty, genocide, pedophiles…?
Several Giants players wrote Bible verses on their caps to respond to Pride Night.
The gesture echoed a familiar pattern: making a night meant for inclusion about something else entirely.
