If the A's aren't going to pay their minor leaguers even the paltry $400 a week they were getting then they should all become free agents. - Krusty May 26, 18:49

Inspired by the John Denver song post, some music trivia: "Baby One More Time" was originally written for another artist, who turned it down? - MDH May 26, 18:45 4
- Demi Lovato, Camila Cabello, Anne-Marie, Carly Rae Jepsen, Tove Lo, Bishop Briggs, Bebe Rexha, Lauren Jauregui, Daya, Charli XCX and Elle King -- nm - Dano May 26, 18:52 3 1
  - Obviously none of the above. But if you want to venture an actual guess, it was a group that was very established by that time. -- nm - MDH May 26, 18:53 2
    - N*Sync -- nm - Dano May 26, 18:54 1
      - Nope, female group. :-) -- nm - MDH May 26, 18:56
Governor’s response to the Lake of the Ozarks videos “gee, wish there was something we could do” - spamlet May 26, 18:42 4

I'm watching the documentary Atomic Homefront about the nuclear waste that ended up in the West Lake Landfill - JD May 26, 17:18 6
- And one more thing. The one thing I was giving Trump credit for was his first EPA chief was actually dealing with but it got lost in the shuffle. - spamlet May 26, 18:43

- Sometimes a cigar holder is just a cigar holder. -- nm - Max May 26, 17:31
- Or maybe she's just an AH. -- nm - . May 26, 17:29
- Yup, we have no idea what her politics are -- nm - ty97 May 26, 16:47
- I kind of assumed she was a liberal. -- nm - Reagen May 26, 16:41 10
  - Same. -- nm - Beryllium May 26, 17:52
  - I don't think political slant applies to fucked up people. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 17:51 2
    - oh, I think all fucked up people are political. -- nm - Reagen May 26, 17:57 1
      - hmm, so, as an artist, this makes me think, you need to meet more fucked up people. :) - loosilu May 26, 18:14
  - All I care about is that she was committing animal cruelty, which makes her a bad person who needs help. -- nm - David May 26, 16:43 5
    - You've probably seen this, but ..... -- (link) - Beryllium May 26, 17:54 2
      - Yeah, I think someone posted this yesterday. -- nm - David May 26, 18:00 1
        
        I should tell that person to stay out of my territory. - Beryllium May 26, 18:05
    - Yep, that's evil right there. -- nm - . May 26, 17:30
    - It looked like two people who wanted to argue with a helpless dog caught in between for sure. -- nm - Qale May 26, 17:19
And here’s the owners proposal on pay cuts. -- (link) - spamlet May 26, 16:26 14
- I guess this means none of the players had a Pandemic clause to get paid full salary. -- nm - Peglegpete May 26, 16:38 9
  - The MLBPA signed a deal in March that guarantees them about half their salary if games are played. The owners are pulling a Darth Vader. -- nm - David May 26, 16:41 8
    - From what I'd read, no one bothered to actually say "What if no fans are there." and they all just nodded and continued onward - Will Hunting May 26, 16:58 7
      - I disagree. The MLBPA did exactly what it was supposed to do. The union protected the players. The owners are trying to impose a salary cap now. - David May 26, 17:10 6
        
        Both sides are negotiating. The players said they solved it in March. - Will Hunting May 26, 17:16 5
        
        As soon as they open the books to prove their poverty I’ll believe them. Until then they can pound sand. -- nm - spamlet May 26, 18:52 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty May 27, 05:08
        
        They did solve it. They willingly renegotiated when they didn’t have to do so. Now owners are trying to get out from under it. -- nm - David May 26, 17:17 2
        
        There was a clause in there that said substantial changes. No fans is a change. -- nm - Will Hunting May 26, 17:34 1
        
        Back in March, everyone knew no fans was a possibility for them to play this year. -- nm - David May 26, 17:43
- Owners: the highest paid people should take a pay cut. Also owners: We mean players only when we say that. -- nm - David May 26, 16:38
- So I guess there won't be baseball this year -- nm - Krusty May 26, 16:34
- "Very funny. What's the real offer?" -- nm - Reagen May 26, 16:32 1
  - Maybe it's a test to see how much other players hate Bryce Harper? -- nm - David May 26, 16:38
"Gatorland has reopened to guests with a new social distancing expert on the prowl to help keep guests six feet apart—the “Social Distancing Skunk Ape -- nm - David May 26, 16:21 1
- On a positive note, this is the longest they've gone without losing anyone to a gator. -- nm - Reagen May 26, 16:28
While I don’t buy the quid pro quo angle being pushed at all, the pervasiveness of corporate interest money at issue here illustrates how confidence in politics is so easily undermined -- (link*) - znufrii May 26, 16:18 3
- One of the profs quoted there was a VERY close friend in law school. It never stops awing you what people in that school do and achieve -- nm - JackDawson May 26, 16:30 2

  - nice! -- nm - znufrii, silly old man May 26, 16:35
