There are multiple “real” problems. The one currently being discussed is right wing “news sources”, as well as legitimate politicians, regurgitating patently false information which whips the masses up into a frenzy. That’s a really big problem, and one that republicans should be striving to clean up, but are instead perpetuating. The attitude I often see, and which based on this post you seem to hold as well, is “it doesn’t matter if it’s fake, because whatever they do is way worse”

ironic choice of words there, but I get what you’re saying. But if it’s not one manufactured issue it’s another for many on the right.

it's crazy, considering the whole "fake news" craze, and all of the "low information voter" insults that have been thrown out over the last 6 or so years. Because so much of what gets the right outraged is either misleadingly presented or completely false these days. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty to be upset about, but it's tough when half of what you read is patently false in some way.

so what precipitated this? Not saying this is okay, but I also assume that it wasn't just some random act of violence on the baserunner for the heck of it, either. what's the backstory

I find it hard to believe that if there were several reasons, taking his talented athlete daughter to a better school and the extra visibility that comes with it played ZERO part in his decision as you suggest.

gotta feel for him. He'd been our best or second best hitter to start the season. pretty insane how stacked our lineup is even with him and Lowe out.

LeClerc already proving himself to be a liability and the rangers are being punished for not going out and getting a real closer. That said, I’ll take winning the opening season of the year every year!

I’m not religious, but I have no issue with people who are. This is an attack on Christianity. Although I think we are overlooking the very real possibility that Biden just forgot today is Easter.

Back story?

To gain favor with conservative Christians. It's no different than Joe Biden pretending he cares about minorities.

Saw something somewhere that Lamar has the longest D1 win streak in the nation currently. Pretty impressive. Or not, depending on who you ask.

Just read an article with more details than I'd been seeing: apparently the ship was having some sort of propulsion issue, and issued a mayday in slightly in advance. People on both sides were able to stop traffic from entering the bridge, meaning there were very few vehicles affected. It also sounds like most, if not all of the 6 missing people were part of a crew fixing potholes on the bridge. I'm not sure why they weren't contacted and evacuated in time.

We played San Augustine in 2001 when they had a pretty decent team, and one of my best friends sealed the game with a pick late, stepping out of bounds about 3 feet from me to end it. several seconds after he did this a San Augustine player came and suplexed him so close to me that my buddy's legs slammed into mine, almost taking me out. I then hit the player with the closest thing I could find, which happened to be the helmet I had in my hand, and got in a fair bit of trouble (I was from then on known as "Helmet Swinger"). That said, I kinda kept up with their team after that, and also because I went to college in Marshall, not far from San Augustine. I remember the San Augustine championship, in 2003, and how random it felt. I wonder how many teams have gone 3-5-1 one year, won a state championship the next, and then the follow that up with a 4-5 campaign. Feels like it's probably a pretty short list.

You mean to tell me going 5-26 from the field isn’t good? Houston was the first team to have 4 players foul out and still win a tourney game since 1987.

I lost 4 sweet 16 teams in round one, but all 12 I had left made it through to the sweet 16. I’d call that a success. Always nice when you end the round of 32 with the same amount of possible points remaining as when you started

Houston sending a guy to the line who’s shot 4 free throws all year. That’s nuts
