Dodgers Broadcaster David Vassegh was with the Dodgers for a game in Milwaulkee on August 17.
While there he was invited to try out the Brewer's mascot's famous home-run slide—a.k.a. Bernie’s Chalet.
It...didn't go as intended. 
Vassegh picked up speed on the slide, eventually crashing into a wall at the bottom, breaking his arm and some ribs. 
Fellow Dodgers' broadcasters Joe Davis and Nomar Garciaparra found it difficult to keep a straight face when playing the clip.

Immediate reactions were a little abashed at finding humor in Vassegh's pain.

Vassegh should make a full recovery. 
So baseball Twitter took this golden opportunity to indulge in one of America's other favorite pastimes—making jokes and memes.

        Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Sep 12, 2025
Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."
Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women. 
Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
