First TV game of spring this afternoon for the Tigers! That I can't watch! I'll be listening, though.

explaining the year 2025 to the first guy i see after arriving in 1985: ...yeah and in the future if you wanna smoke weed you can just push the button on this apparatus 1985 guy: wait back up what was that about the coup? me: *coughing my lungs out for a solid 90sec after hitting a blinker* what?

What the fuck is wrong with Democrats

I just can't imagine having to work under these kinds of circumstances.

The FBI & the Navy are currently under orders not to respond to the OPM "what did you do last week" email if you're wondering about the united front that DOGE is creating

It's really a shame when certain email accounts end up getting sent every single possible marketing and junk email imaginable, isn't it

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

this rich asshole in st. louis pointed a gun at some protesters and become a right wing celebrity overnight. conservatives were so enthralled by a guy who threatened to kill liberals that he got recruited to run for senate and raised over a million bucks in individual donations

regret to inform everyone this is a real guy who could be pope

The Detroit Tigers are 1-0 in exhibition play. I was surprised, actually, they were down 5-0 earlier! And Maeda was good!!

Discussion of the automatic balls and strikes system includes the confusing nature of the computer using an "average" strike zone that does not change for each player, which is absolutely not how umpires call balls and strikes. "It's like cricket. Just protect the wickets."

"Here it is, Dan. We have a challenge!" DAN: "Ugh, I forgot we had this." Challenging balls and strikes. What a world.

🚨🚨🚨 POPEWATCH 2025 🚨🚨🚨

First pitch of Tigers spring training is a 92.7 mph fastball from Kenta Maeda. We’re back.

This is horrific

As of today, Michigan minimum wage goes up to $12.48, and tipped minimum goes up to $4.74. For those keeping score.

Check out this article from Detroit Free Press: Welp. Looks like Whitmer signed a bill that most Dems voted against. www.freep.com/story/news/p...

Must be a weird thing when a friend of yours gets murdered and then you suddenly have a starring role in a documentary on Netflix. Strange type of fame. (My wife put on the Gabby Petito doc)

Either way, I suppose the increase in the standard, non-tipped minimum wage is a lot faster than I can ever remember. $15 within 2 (or even 3) years would be some real progress.

"The bill calls for the tipped minimum wage to remain at 38% of the standard minimum wage this year. It would rise annually, topping out at 50% in 2031." This erases pretty much all of what tipped workers would have received, if Whitmer signs it. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...

This is just a fantastic article for a number of reasons. TIL there's a difference between USDA-certified raccoons from breeders and wild raccoons. www.kmuw.org/news/2025-02...

Elmer Fudd recieves a big smooch from a sexy lady. Watching her walk away, he recognizes in her silohuette the shape of Bugs— his enemy, his quarry. He shoulders his blunderbuss, aims. He remembers the taste of his lips. Somehow, he’s always known. He drops his gun and falls to his knees. He weeps.

The thing is, I don't even know if this is a shitpost or completely true

SO LONG, MITCH McCONNELL (Honestly bold of you to assume you'll even make it to 2027)

“It looks like a zoo, there are fenced cages,” said one deportee, Artemis Ghasemzadeh, a 27-year-old migrant from Iran, after arriving at the camp following a four-hour drive from Panama City. “They gave us a stale piece of bread. We are sitting on the floor.”

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.
