Steven Monacelli and Tristan Lee at Texas Observer:

Under owner Elon Musk, the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, has become a hotbed of white supremacist and neo-Nazi content. A recent headline in the Atlantic doesn’t mince words: “X is a white supremacist site.” Musk has allowed formerly banned far-right and neo-Nazi accounts back on the platform, and, in some instances, he’s directly responded to accounts that traffic in white supremacist and neo-Nazi rhetoric. Meanwhile, anonymous accounts that regularly promote racial hate on the platform have seen their follower counts grow substantially as Musk has taken a more hands-off approach to moderation compared to the social media network’s prior owners.  Anonymity has long been a tactic used by extremists to spread their ideology while avoiding consequences, from Klansmen hoods to online pseudonyms. With such ideas spreading rapidly on X, the Texas Observer has identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that regularly share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content on the platform. Three of the operators appear to live or have claimed to own property in Texas, where X moderation operations are based and Musk resides.

Through reviewing posts on X, web archives, leak databases, and other social media profiles, the Observer identified the following individuals as the anonymous operators of neo-Nazi X accounts, which had a collective 500,000 followers at their peak: Cyan Cruz, a 40-year-old marketing professional who appears to have lived in Austin and Amarillo and operates the X account TheOfficial1984; Michael Gramer, a 42-year-old retired mechanical engineer who has lived in New Hampshire, operates the X account 9mm_SMG, and has claimed to have a house in Galveston and to be spending time in Dallas; Robert “Bobby” Thorne, a 35-year-old vice president at JP Morgan Chase in Plano, who operates the account Noble1945 and previously operated the account Noble_x_x_; and John Anthony Provenzano, a 30-year-old who appears to live in Virginia, operates the account utism_ (formerly known as JohnnyBullzeye), and, according to a tip and a records request response from the U.S. Navy, works at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head, Maryland—where the Navy manufactures explosive ordnance.

These individuals are part of a broader ecosystem of far-right accounts that have rapidly expanded their reach in recent months. They are among the most popular white nationalist and neo-Nazi accounts on X whose operators have not yet been publicly identified. (While this article was in production, the Anti-Defamation League also identified Cruz as the operator of TheOfficial1984.) Their rise to prominence tracks with a dramatic decrease in moderation of hateful content on the platform, which dropped from 1 million moderated accounts in 2021 to only 2,361 accounts in the most recent 2024 X transparency report. Posts from these individuals have received tens of millions of views over the last year and a half. The accounts have also attracted the attention of major public figures. Two of the accounts have received replies from the X account of Elon Musk, who has said he writes all of his own X posts and who, as reported by Mother Jones, has amplified users who promote pseudoscientific arguments that those of European descent are biologically superior. Three of the accounts are followed by a sitting congressman, and many other right-wing media figures and outlets follow at least one of the four accounts.

All four accounts follow the other three, and all four have interacted with at least two of the other three in posts, replies, and spaces on X. The host of a June 2024 X space, an online voice chat room on the X platform, focused on “JQ 101”—“JQ” being an abbreviation used by anti-semitic extremists for the “Jewish Question”—tagged all four of the accounts in a post promoting the gathering, in which three of the four accounts participated. Nearly 17,000 listeners tuned into the conversation. On July 9, Musk posted two replies to Cruz’s account TheOfficial1984, which Cruz has used to post pro-Hitler, Holocaust denial, and other antisemitic content. Musk’s posts were in response to TheOfficial1984’s call to reinstate a prominent neo-Nazi account, Lucas Gage, who had been banned for six months. In the replies, Musk explained that Gage had been temporarily banned for “repeated and clear calls for violence” and identified one of Gage’s many antisemitic posts as the specific reason. While Gage cannot currently post, his virulently antisemitic posts from prior to the ban remain visible on X, with many having hundreds of thousands of views. On July 23, Musk replied to Gramer’s account 9mm_smg, which Gramer has used to make posts referring to neo-Nazi tropes such as the “14 Words” and “blood and soil” and identifying himself as a white nationalist. Musk’s reply was a laughing emoji in response to a post about a community note—a feature that allows users to add context under a post if enough users vote on it—that described Vice President Kamala Harris as former TV host Montel Williams’ “main hoe,” which 9mm_smg described as “the greatest community note of all time.”  Musk’s engagement with these accounts may fit a pattern of the mogul amplifying far-right views on X, including promoting Tucker Carlson’s interview with a Nazi apologist, in a since-deleted post, and explicitly agreeing with an antisemitic conspiracy theory, for which he later apologized.

What Happened to Jimmy Hoffa?

Jimmy Hoffa was last seen in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, on July 30th, 1975. He was lured to the restaurant under the guise of a business meeting between him, Anthony Giacalone & Tony Provenzano. A witness reportedly spotted Jimmy getting into a maroon-colored Lincoln or Mercury that was occupied by 3 men, who proceeded to drive away down Telegraph Road. From that day forward, Hoffa was never seen again and the mystery surrounding his death keeps his name alive and well today. 

There are many theories as to what happened to him – the most popular one being that he was killed by his best-friend Frank Sheeran in a suburban home in Detroit before being cremated at a local sanitation center. This theory was written about by Charles Brandt in his book I Heard You Paint Houses, which was eventually dramatized in the 2019 Martin Scorsese film The Irishman. The film & book are largely based on Frank Sheeran’s deathbed confession, but has been faced with much scrutiny & many disputes as others claim he is lying. 

Dan Moldea, author of the The Hoffa Wars, claims that Sheeran had nothing to do with the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. Moldeas theory is that Hoffa was lured away from the Machus Red Fox, stuffed into a 50-gallon drum, and then shipped to a landfill in New Jersey. He was then buried in a pre-dug hole and had about 15-30 drums filled with chemical waste stacked on top of him. This information came from a sworn affidavit that was signed by Frank Cappola, whose Father, Paul, was a partner in the dump at the time of Hoffa’s disappearance. This theory is supported in the book called The Iceman written by Philip Carlo, which details Richard Kuklinski’s account of what happened that day, albeit a little different. According to Richard, he used a hunting knife to take Hoffa out shortly after he was picked up from the Machus Red Fox. He was then placed in a 50-gallon drum, set on fire, then placed in a car compacter and sold to Japan as scrap metal. 

Another popular theory of what happened to Hoffa is that he was buried beneath the Giants stadium in New Jersey. According to Donald Frankos, a Mafia boss named Jimmy Coonan took Hoffa out with a silenced .22 pistol at a house in Mt Clemens, Michigan, before he and John Sullivan sawed him up and stored his bagged-up body parts in a freezer for months. Sometime later, during the construction of the Giants stadium, the bags were driven to the construction site and mixed into the concrete foundation under what became section 107. 

Despite all the rumors and speculation that surround Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance, we will most likely never know the full truth. When former Mafia caporegime Michael Franzese is asked about the whereabouts of Hoffas remains, he vaguely answers that he knows the real shooter is currently in prison and that Jimmy Hoffa is somewhere “very wet.” This has sparked another theory where Hoffa was either supposedly thrown into the Detroit river or fed to the fishes. Despite knowing that we’ll never get the full story, it’s still fun to speculate and theorize over what really happened to the infamous, hot-headed Labor Union Leader. 

Rest in peace, Jimmy Hoffa.

Revealed: the Operators Behind Four Major Neo-Nazi X Accounts

Through reviewing posts on X, web archives, leak databases, and other social media profiles, the Observer identified the following individuals as the anonymous operators of neo-Nazi X accounts, which had a collective 500,000 followers at their peak: Cyan Cruz, a 40-year-old marketing professional who appears to have lived in Austin and Amarillo and operates the X account TheOfficial1984; Michael Gramer, a 42-year-old retired mechanical engineer who has lived in New Hampshire, operates the X account 9mm_SMG, and has claimed to have a house in Galveston and to be spending time in Dallas; Robert “Bobby” Thorne, a 35-year-old vice president at JP Morgan Chase in Plano, who operates the account Noble1945 and previously operated the account Noble_x_x_; and John Anthony Provenzano, a 30-year-old who appears to live in Virginia, operates the account utism_ (formerly known as JohnnyBullzeye), and, according to a tip and a records request response from the U.S. Navy, works at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head, Maryland—where the Navy manufactures explosive ordnance.

Did the Mafia hit JFK?

56 years later, no one is still certain that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating John F. Kennedy, USA’s 35th president. Mostly because of the Cosa Nostra’s entanglement with the matter. 

The Cosa Nostra believed that JFK was indebted to them, after helping him win the election that got him to the White House. As president, JFK appointed his younger brother Robert Kennedy as Attorney General- and he was ardently resolute upon destroying the underworld.

Taking on investigations of organized crime with unorthodox savvy and street smarts, paired with J. Edgar Hoover, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Bobby (affectionately called Booby by Jimmy Hoffa) Kennedy shook the nests of the untouchable Cosa Nostra, with his progress in obtaining intelligence skyrocketing to highly menacing threats. 

One of Bobby’s most notorious catches was Carlos Marcello, the Mob boss of New Orleans. He found out that the mafioso never applied for a citizenship, and soon he was on a plane back to Guatemala City. 

“You see, the Cosa Nostra. The other day they made me become frightened. They know our business better than us. They know the heads of the families, the capodecina, the FBI does. Therefore, that’s why, the other day, I say be careful before you open your mouth. Because sometime, somebody could be a spy and you might think he is an amico nostro.” 

- Steffano Magaddino, Buffalo borgata boss; Joe Bonanno’s cousin. 

Edward Becker, public relations officer in the underworld, once quoted that Marcello claimed to get his revenge on Bobby Kennedy for deporting him. Aside from that, the attorney general was already getting all up in other important figures’ nerves, and many were out to hit him even if he was an honest official, who, technically, in mafia principles, was immune to being hit. 

“The dog will keep biting you if you cut off its tail, but that if the dog’s head is cut off, the dog would die.” 

- Carlos Marcello in Becker’s paraphrasing, putting JFK as the dog and Bobby being the tail. 

Marcello allegedly told Becker that getting rid of JFK would certainly eliminate Bobby from the picture, which posed a more secure outcome than getting rid of Bobby only- for JFK, he said, would come at them with the “Army and the Marines.” 

Aside from Carlos Marcello, the Senate Select Committee identified Santo Trafficante Jr., boss of Tampa and the American mafioso of Cuba as a personage most likely to have been behind JFK’s assassination. 

Santo Trafficante Jr. and his lawyer, Frank Ragano

Santo Trafficante Jr. stayed in Cuba despite Fidel Castro’s reign, thinking he could keep the casino doors open by bribing the new government. However, Castro wasn’t at all welcoming to his businesses, and even threatened to execute him. 

Taking advantage of this steam, the Central Intelligence Agency got Trafficante in on a plot to kill Castro. The poison plot failed and no one knows what happened to the $150 000 CIA money for the operation. Trafficante testified for the JFK assassination, but he professed himself clueless about this kill-Castro scheme. Sam Giancana was also going to be interrogated, as a name in the scheme, but he was killed prior to this appointment, as well as John Roselli, who vanished after meeting up with Trafficante. Giancana was shot through the mouth, and Roselli was mutilated- in mafia language, that was because they broke omerta, (the code of silence) or were going to. 

Almost two decades after the investigation on the assassination was pulled to a dead end, Frank Ragano, Trafficante, Marcello and Hoffa’s lawyer, stepped up with long-hidden information about the underworld’s possible influence on the matter with his autobiography, Mob Lawyer.

“That rat bastard, son of a bitch. We broke our balls for him and gave him the election and he gets his brother to hound us to death.” 

- Sam Giancana referring to John F. Kennedy, as Ragano heard him at a dinner. 

Ragano claimed that he heard Giancana’s unloving remarks of the Kennedys, as well as Trafficante’s rants about the president keeping Castro in his seat. The mob lawyer also stated that Jimmy Hoffa ordered him to convey an urgent order to Trafficante and Marcello. To “kill that son of a bitch John Kennedy.” 

Although the lawyer thought it was an annoyed joke, he told the two bosses the demand. On the very day that JFK was shot, Hoffa called Ragano and asked if he heard “the good news”. 

Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in 1975, twelve years after that moment, after having Ragano by his legal team throughout Bobby’s chase for him. This was four years after being commuted by President Richard M. Nixon on his thirteen-year prison term. 

Trafficante once told Ragano that Hoffa was alarming the Cosa Nostra by declaring that he was going to write a book revealing all of what he knew about the Mob.

He was hit by Anthony Provenzano, a New Jersey teamsters’ union head in the same year of his disappearance.  

Jimmy Hoffa

Sometime during March of 1987, twenty-four years after JFK’s assassination, a sick Trafficante requested for Ragano to drive him along Bayshore Boulevard, Tampa. The mob boss had kidneys under dialysis and was about to get his second open-heart surgery. He vented to the lawyer about Marcello and what “they did” to Giovanni, his nickname for John F. Kennedy. 

“Goddamn Bobby, I think Carlos fucked up getting rid of Giovanni. Maybe it should have been Bobby. We shouldn’t have killed Giovanni. We should have killed Bobby.” 

- seventy-two-year-old Santo Trafficante Jr., as Ragano narrated.

In less than four years, Bobby was able to indict 116 made men in the underworld, including Jimmy Hoffa. The ex-attorney general was struck by a bullet during a presidential election campaign in Los Angeles, one that he was undoubtedly going to win. 

After JFK’s death, the government ceased down on their chase, especially after Robert Kennedy’s resignation. The attorney general after him, Ramsey Clark, got rid of the unconstitutional bugs that provided them intelligence from the underworld. With all this fire extinguished, the bosses kicked back at ease again. 

JFK’s death was a colossal victory for the underworld, whether they were behind it or not.

“Time,” wrote the Byzantine princess Anna Komnene in the introduction to The Alexiad, “in its irresistible and ceaseless flow carries along on its flood all created things, and drowns them in the depths of obscurity . . . But the tale of history forms a very strong bulwark against the stream of time, and to some extent checks its irresistible flow.” Frank Sheeran is such a self-styled bulwark. He is like a character in a DeLillo novel, who willfully takes an active role in the shaping of history, attempting to divert the indefatigable cascading of time.

Even more than the mob, or the Teamsters leaders, or RFK’s crusades against both, time is nemesis in The Irishman. When Sheeran is shepherded to his first face-to-face with Hoffa, he’s advised to never keep him waiting. Because for Jimmy Hoffa, we’re told, “time is of the essence.” And, fitting the theme, The Irishman develops a theory that Hoffa’s fatal break with the ranks of mafioso control resulted, in part, from Teamster-associated wiseguy Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano (Stephen Graham) arriving late to a sit-down. Elsewhere in the film, new characters are introduced with onscreen titles, providing not just their names and affiliations, but how and when they’ll meet their (typically grisly) ends. The film itself attempts to roll back the tides of time by employing much-much-publicized digital de-aging techniques to believably depict De Niro, Pesci, and Pacino with period-appropriate skin-matting across The Irishman’s full historical sweep. While initial scenes of De Niro (and Pesci especially) in early middle age feel eerily uncanny, rendering them somewhere between Playstation 3 characters and da Vinci’s grotesques, the eye quickly adjusts. And the performances—from De Niro’s laconic affability to Pesci’s restrained menace to Pacino’s high-wire Hoffa—more than cover for any digital deficit. (One might gamely argue that the inability of digital effects to sufficiently cover for the casts’ telltale markers of age only further serves The Irishman’s themes of inevitability.)

Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker, his editor and colleague for half-a-century, adopt a shaggy, twisty structure. Flashbacks nest within flashbacks, weaving plots and incidents together en route to an extended, breathlessly tense centerpiece, which unfolds without the cathartic violence and rock ’n’ roll jukebox needle drops one might expect. On the whole, The Irishman doesn’t adhere to the ferocious propulsion of precedents in Scorsese’s gangster cinema canon (Mean Streets, Goodfellas, Casino, etc.). A few sumptuous sequences shot in super slo-mo (a technique exploited to excess in The Wolf of Wall Street) feel utterly out of place, as if the film were intermittently trying to reassert its status as a Martin Scorsese Picture. The Irishman is it at its best when it feels pallid and meandering. In this register, it seems to cut deliberately against its director’s crime film classics. Where, for example, the well-connected mobsters in Goodfellas treat a prison stint like a private resort vacation, The Irishman’s incarceration scenes are given over to slumped men with rotten teeth and diseased colons. The opulence of organized crime is nowhere to be found in The Irishman, replaced by a slogging ugliness that is intermittently enlivened by some raucous party scenes or images of De Niro gulping mucky chili dogs.

This wooly, low-key quality snaps into focus in The Irishman’s last act, which follows Sheeran’s long shamble toward death. Many of Scorsese’s protagonists are, in turn, humbled. Goodfellas’s Henry Hill is shuffled into Witness Protection, forced to live out the rest of his life “like a schnook.” Casino’s Ace Rothstein goes from running a major resort-hotel to running a modest sports book. The Wolf of Wall Street’s Jordan Belfort is busted, and reduced to shilling his story in motivational speeches for conference rooms full of sad-eyed Australians. Frank Sheeran faces no such stark chastening. Absent any redeeming moral lesson, and capable of only faintly apprehending the full breadth of horror he has visited on those closest to him, Sheeran’s fate proves even more undignified.

ARIES: Robin Hood, et al. v. US Gov. Banking Industry, et al. (2012) Wikipedia: Robin Hood v. United States CV 12-01542 was a 2012 United States District Court for the Northern District of California civil court case. The case was brought by Robin Hood against the United States government for allegedly violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Hood filed the case on behalf of himself and others, alleging that the United States government had violated the RICO act, stating that he and others had been "robbed by banks, attorneys and the government they tried to support". TAURUS: United States v. Ninety-Five Barrels Alleged Apple Cider Vinegar (1924)

Wikipedia: United States v. Ninety-Five Barrels Alleged Apple Cider Vinegar, 265 U.S. 438 (1924), was an in rem case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that apple cider vinegar is mislabeled when that vinegar is made from dried apples. The label at issue indicated that the vinegar was made from "selected" apples. Douglas Packing Company, the manufacturer, admitted to dehydrating fresh apples and then re-hydrating the apples with pure water to produce vinegar. GEMINI: Memoirs v. Massachusetts (1966) Wikipedia: To be declared obscene a work of literature had to be proven by censors to: 1) appeal to prurient interest, 2) be patently offensive, and 3) have no redeeming social value. The book in question in this case was Fanny Hill (or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, 1749) by John Cleland and the Court held in Memoirs v. Massachusetts that, while it might fit the first two criteria (it appealed to prurient interest and was patently offensive), it could not be proven that Fanny Hill had no redeeming social value. CANCER: United States ex rel. Gerald Mayo v. Satan and His Staff (1971)

Wikipedia: Gerald Mayo, a 22 year old inmate at Western Penitentiary in Pittsburgh, filed a claim before the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania in which Mayo alleged that "Satan has on numerous occasions caused plaintiff misery and unwarranted threats, against the will of plaintiff, that Satan has placed deliberate obstacles in his path and has caused plaintiff's downfall" and had therefore "deprived him of his constitutional rights."

In his decision, U.S. District Court Judge Gerald J. Weber first noted that the jurisdictional situation was unclear. While no previous cases had been brought by or against Satan and so no official precedent existed, there was an "unofficial account of a trial in New Hampshire where this defendant filed an action of mortgage foreclosure as plaintiff", a reference to the short story "The Devil and Daniel Webster". Judge Weber suggested that the Devil (who had claimed in that story to be an American), should he appear, might have been therefore estopped from arguing a lack of personal jurisdiction. In this context, the Court noted that Satan was a foreign prince, but did not have occasion to address whether, if sued as a defendant, he would be able to claim sovereign immunity from suit. Ultimately, the Court refused the request to proceed in forma pauperis because the plaintiff had not included written instructions for how the U.S. Marshal could serve process on Satan. LEO: United States v. One Solid Gold Object In Form of A Rooster (1967)

Quartz: On a blazing hot afternoon in July 1960, three armed US marshals raided a casino lobby in Sparks, Nevada, and proceeded to seize a golden statue of a rooster. Invited onlookers jeered and hissed as the agents confiscated the statue, whose attorney decried a “colossal miscarriage of justice.”

The renegade fowl in question was a nine-and-a-half-inch-tall, 14-pound bird made of solid 18-karat gold. Prior to his arrest, his preferred roost had been in a lighted glass display case at the Nugget Casino in Sparks, Nevada, where he had taken up residence in 1958, helping to promote The Golden Rooster Room, a newly opened restaurant at the fast-growing Nugget, which served fried chicken as its signature dish. The metal bird was now a defendant in a Federal complaint brought by Treasury Department, entitled United States of America v. One Solid Gold Object in Form of a Rooster. Unbeknownst to the bird, he had become the latest–and most severe–action taken by a federal government that was terrified of running out of gold.  VIRGO: United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls (1976)

Wikipedia: United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls, 413 F. Supp. 1281 (D. Wisc. 1976), is a 1976 United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin decision regarding a requested order from the United States government to seize and destroy a shipment of approximately 50,000 clacker balls under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because children could hit themselves with the balls.

LIBRA: United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness (1941) Wikipedia: United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness, 40 F. Supp. 208, was a 1941 US federal court case heard in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, alleging the misbranding of a putative cure for alcohol intoxication. The action's unusual name results, in part, from the customs of cases with in rem jurisdiction, and refers to 135 packages of the containers used to hold the powder. This case was one of the first actions taken by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness, manufactured by M. F. Groves' Son & Co., was a product popular in the 19th century, alleged to be an effective antidote for drunkenness. The powder was tartar emetic, antimony potassium tartrate, which induces vomiting. By 1939, the product was considered a Mickey Finn, and criminal convictions had been obtained for some sellers for selling unlabelled poisons.

One Lucite Ball Containing Lunar Material (One Moon Rock) and One Ten Inch by Fourteen Inch Wooden Plaque (2001) Wikipedia: The Honduras Apollo 17 "goodwill moon rocks" plaque display, which was presented to the people of the Republic of Honduras in 1973 by President Nixon, came into the possession of retired colonel Roberto Agurcia Ugarte some time after 1993 and before 1995 in an illegal manner. It is unclear how Ugarte obtained it. Some speculate that he was inspired to steal the Honduras Apollo 17 "goodwill moon rocks" plaque display with the 1 gram moon rock because of the $442,500 selling price at a Sotheby's auction in December 1993 for a Russian sample of three tiny lunar pebbles weighing 0.2 grams that could only be seen under a microscope. Ugarte put the plaque up for sale, covering the stars of the Honduras flag to give the impression that the NASA wooden plaque display could have come from one of several Central American countries (as many have the same colors on their flags). He eventually found a buyer for it, a fruit distributor named Alan Rosen, who bought it for what he claims was $50,000 at the time. A lawsuit filed against Rosen in 2001, United States v. One Lucite Ball Containing Lunar Material (One Moon Rock) and One Ten Inch by Fourteen Inch Wooden Plaque, went on trial and was settled in 2003. As a result of the trial, Rosen forfeited the Honduras Apollo 17 lunar sample plaque display, which was ultimately presented to Honduran President Ricardo Maduro on February 28, 2004. PISCES: South Dakota v. Fifteen Impounded Cats (2010)

Lowering the Bar: The Supreme Court of South Dakota grappled with legal issues arising from an officer's decision to impound fifteen cats he found roaming around a woman's car. In a split decision, the justices rejected the woman's arguments that the evidence was insufficient to support the cat seizure and that said seizure violated her constitutional rights.

Cub Tracks’ to air is human

Greetings from freezing, rainy southern Arizona. I am taking Tom Ricketts’ statements with enough salt to kill any number of garden slugs — there’s just so much there that defies logic. But that’s all we’re gonna get, and I can be easily mollified by some Cubs baseball. Preferably good Cubs baseball, but at least Cubs baseball.

However, I’m not against them trying to be ‘the best organization in the world’, and I do believe they’re doing their level best to achieve that end. And it isn’t like Tom Ricketts is going to come right out and say that there’s collusion. Quite the contrary.

Here’s today’s Cubs News and Notes. As always * means autoplay on, or annoying ads, or both (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome).

Just going to address this once during this article. It’s everywhere, but this snippet seems to express an opinion shared by a large segment of Cubdom.

Tom Ricketts apologized to the team for the emails being a “distraction,” even though some didn’t know what he was talking about.

“To the level it was a distraction among the group, I’m not 100 percent sure,” manager Joe Maddon said. “I don’t think it was a heavy distraction. I would almost imagine some weren’t even aware of it, to be honest with you, the way it all came about. But the fact that he was straight up about apologizing the way he did, I know our players have a lot of respect for him and his family.

“We are treated so well. And you see him all the time. You see all of them all the time, and they’re always there. So when he stands in front of the group like that, and he was very sincerely apologetic about all of this, I’m certain it was pretty much buried there today among us.”

Will the email saga be buried by Cubs fans, or will it cause some to reconsider giving their hard-earned money to the Rickettses?

We grew up calling Wrigley “the friendly confines.” Now we’re not quite sure. — Paul Sullivan.

Matt Provenzano (Beyond the Box Score): Why the projection systems disagree about the Cubs. “Some say first, and some say last, while all would say “volatile.””

RJ Anderson (CBS Sports*): Why didn’t the Cubs go after Bryce Harper or Manny Machado? Owner Tom Ricketts says the team is out of money. “...the Cubs are one of the most valuable franchises in the sport...”

Patrick Mooney (The Athletic $): Letters from camp: Hamels vs. PECOTA; why David Bote looks bigger; more moves coming for Cubs? “...even after all this bad PR, the Cubs still have a reputation for being a team that is always lurking. Stay tuned.”

Mark Gonzales (Chicago Tribune* $): 5 takeaways from Cubs spring training, including Ben Zobrist’s excused absence and bulletin board material. “I thought we actually did a lot for the day in spite of the weather,” Maddon said.

Tim Stebbins (NBC Sports Chicago*): Red Sox owner John Henry said team ‘blew’ Jon Lester negotiations in 2014. “...we blew the signing in spring training,” Henry said.”

Sahadev Sharma (The Athletic $): Can José Quintana get off on the right foot with his changeup in 2019? “My focus was on my changeup,” Quintana said of his offseason plan.

MLB.com*: 30 intriguing position battles -- 1 for each team. Bullpen. “Chicago...has a considerable amount of rostered and non-roster candidates jockeying for position.”

Steve DelVecchio (Larry Brown Sports*): Anthony Rizzo mocks media over Bryce Harper, Manny Machado reports. “Rizzo said he is shocked by how many false reports he has heard about Harper and Machado.” Based on Paul Sullivan article.

Evan Altman (Cubs Insider): Rizzo channels Albert Einstein, scoffs at sub-.500 predictions. “We didn’t win last year,” Rizzo deadpanned. “What are we gonna do, sit back and do the same thing? That’s insanity.”

Kelly Crull (NBC Sports Chicago*): The best quips from the best leadoff hitter of all time. “It’s the first day, I picked out my outfit last night. I was off to school today.”

Jeff Burdick (Cubs Insider): Challenge for Javier Baez in 2019 will be doing It when everyone expects it. “...it’s no mean feat given how important the element of surprise is to Baez’s game and motivation.”

Tony Andracki (NBC Sports Chicago*): Ian Happ trying to force his way into Cubs second base picture. “Happ has been clinging to his desire to play second base in much the same way Kyle Schwarber passionately stuck by his love for being a catcher.”

Megan Mawicke (CBS Chicago*): Kris Bryant: ‘St. Louis is boring’ comment was ‘Taken totally out of context’. Still...”Bryant said he isn’t going to go out of his way to clear things up with Molina when the two teams meet in early May because he doesn’t think he did anything wrong.” Jesse Rogers disagrees. Jordan Bastian is somewhere in the middle.

Tony Andracki (NBC Sports Chicago*): Bryant has no intentions of altering his swing again. “I’m not gonna change anything just because I had an injury last year. I’m over the injury. I’ve done everything I needed to do to get over it and I’m back to who I am.”

Chuck Fieldman (Chicago Tribune* $: Cubs to host seven Advocate Children’s Hospital kids at Spring Training in Arizona. “The trip will include personal time with Cubs players and coaches, a host of behind-the-scenes experiences and tickets to the Cubs first spring training game Saturday at Sloan Park.”

Food for thought:
