“Roxanne” by The Police. Sting sounds like he’s being tortured and the pain is getting progressively worse. Meanwhile, the only torture happening is for the person stuck listening to that trash.

Who knew that MLB.tv was operated entirely by DEI?

You know, @mlb.com, I didn’t drop a shit ton of money to watch @padres.bsky.social games, arrange to work from home today, pull my kids out of school early for Opening Day, so that we could miss the game because your app doesn’t work. Get your shit together FFS.

Something that deserves recognition: At federal labs such as NOAA’s NSSL, ESRL, or EMC, most employees are first hired on as contractors through a company or cooperative institute. After several years, many get “promoted” by being hired as Feds. These are the “probationary employees” getting fired

Happening everywhere

Not news. Get back to me when he’s regularly catching routine fly balls.

Baseball on my TV. The dark times are over. There’s a foot of snow on the ground, but never mind that. Spring is here.

A small museum says all but one sponsor of a Girls in STEM event backed out, fearing retaliation from the Trump administration over "DEI." Evan Kruegel reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg1n...

Wonderful day in Denver!

A good day in downtown Denver with thousands of likeminded friends on No Kings Day

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Just saw them for $12 at the local Safeway, which I’m pretty sure is more that they were a week ago

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states. To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

My response to 99% of the news I’ve seen since Monday:

TikTok’s full embrace of Donald Trump, who once tried to ban the app, shows: A) How good Trump is at politics B) How terrible Dems are at politics C) How thirsty tech oligarchs are to win favor with Trump D) All of the above

this is a good lesson for young people to learn: laws aren’t real

These are dark, dark times.

The face I make when trying not to fart in a meeting

I saw some hope in the last election when DougCo turned a little more blue, but we have so much more work to do.

Death, taxes, and Chargering

If at any point you thought Harbaugh could outcoach the power of Chargering, you didn’t grow up in San Diego. This game is giving me LIFE.

If anyone sets up a rally against these assholes, I’ll fly in and participate. I’d run through a brick wall for Sheel.

Due to some ridiculous changes made by Ball Arena, this is the first Mammoth Opening Night I’ve missed in years. It’s not the same from my couch, but I’m still watching. Let’s get win #1 tonight, boys 🥍

Not if we do it to ourselves first!

I’m eating nothing but maple syrup and avocados until January

“You’re kind of a pessimist.” No, I’m not. I have excellent pattern recognition. There’s a difference.

Magnus the Porch Gargoyle is ready for the holidays. My dog is excited I found someone (something) else to wear these. Win win.

Paul Skenes is phenomenal. That’s just facts. But I cannot rationalize ROY going to a player who played in 23 games. If there were no notable rookie position players, sure. If anyone can help me understand this one, I would genuinely love to. I can’t make it make sense.

I’m so glad to be out of this arena. The man they obsess over will be the one who kills their jobs. I hope the one who told me I “do good work for a woman” is included. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-go...

That’s my quarterback 🧡💙

I used to love watching boxing with my dad when I was little, but watching it now after all these years, it’s very clear that I’m a middle aged mom. These guys just need to hug it out and stop hurting each other, I say as I watch through my fingers.

A little bit of the wilderness snuck into the burbs today…

@kylec.bsky.social Good morning! If you see Chris Bianchi today, can you please ask him to come back to Bluesky? Thank you!
