Happy Race Day to all who observe 🏁🏁 #indy500

Holy wow. This is about the craziest imaginable sports news day in Indianapolis. Pacers in OT in wild game, Colts owner dies, Penske fires top guns in Indy car team 4 days before 500. Just wow.

Thrilled to discover there is Indy500 Bluesky including healthy snark

Rise and shine, the high holiday is here. 💙⚾️

We have already reached the point in March Madness where I have already started rooting for the Cinderellas instead of teams I picked in my bracket

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

First they came for the Palestinian protestor and I said “hey you Nazi fucks, you’re being Nazis, everyone else we need to shut these motherfuckers down RIGHT now” because I actually paid attention to the poem

My advice to disaffected young men is to get a squire p bass and join a band and your whole women only date rich guys reactionary politics vibe will seem pretty silly when a lady breaks up with her real estate boyfriend to date your broke ass

Sweet Home Chicago. When you’ve been gone for a month, call it party cut or call it tavern style, there is one go to dinner: The real Chicago style pizza. Mine with giardiniera.

Eddie Murphy as Tracy Morgan on Black Jeopardy, Kate McK and Meryl as her mom the in alien abduction skit, and Bill Murray’s delivery of the top Update anchors were the biggest hits for me. #SNL50

Welcome!

We're in a serious financial situation at @chicagoreader.com. If you're in a position to help with $1 or $10,000, now is the time. Your donations will be seen by other potential donors & funders. If 100 people give us $3 each, that says, "Hey, this paper is valuable." donorbox.org/save-the-chi...

I came to Band fandom later in life. A bit too young in the 70s, other interests in the 80s. I took a second look at Last Waltz at the turn of the Millennium and was hooked. I’ll never miss a Last Waltz tribute show I can make. Every member’s contribution made them what they were. RIP Garth.

What an insightful, beautiful thread. When horrors abound, one still can, and must, find joy.

Should be able to see @floatingmen.bsky.social from here in Chattanooga. #Flotilla

Yep. Spend your time reading a good book. Discover some new music- or listen to old favorites. Take a walk.

Excellent thread about prison firefighter program. We need more programs like this.

3 hours later… Did not have a cappella Robin Zander on my very short list of acceptable national anthem singers but fine job. I’ll allow it.

National Anthem should (almost*) always be instrumental. That’s my hot take. None of us ordinary folks can sing it, and not most professionals either. Nice job @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social 🎷🇺🇸 🏈

Saturday morning in Chicago but never far from my Indy roots.

I had not intended to invest any of my birthday watching the Bears. Then they scored first, then they were still up with 2 minutes to go. Then they blew it. Then they won. Thank you Bears. Happy Birthday to me.

We won’t see the likes of him again. #ThankYouJimmyCarter

Reykjavik is all about the cats and I am here for this. #cats

As we head into the holiday season & give thanks for our little corner of the baseball community, it occurred to me that it's been a while since we played The Game. You know the drill: copy the text, quote with a random player you like, and let others do likewise. Miggy Montero

Most of y’all don’t know about the best night of the year in Indianapolis but I’m from there so I do and here we go. #TonicBall

Omar curious about one of the local ferals (Moose or Tabi depending on which side of the street).

You only have to like football a little bit to love a good #snowgame And this is a great one. 🏈❄️

Except for the knitting part, this is my 2025 plan.

Hello my fellow butterflies. Glad to be here old and new friends.
