Jim Crane donated millions of dollars to the local LGBTQI+ community centres. I normally defend the Astros after everything they did for the community in 2017. I cannot believe they folded.

Amazing how many people in technology right now have to turn to foodbanks. Designers, developers. All organisational decisions and people have no idea what to do. Incredible what people put on LinkedIn versus what the realities are.

Fucking Nazis…

The upside of being a baseball collector? Australia is really expensive.

I typically enjoy a good old #Yankees hate watch. Then they play the Nazi bootlickers #Dodgers

Mauricio DubĂłn is wearing full Hello Kitty get up. Stay proudly DEI #Astros!

Bryan King, another gift from the #Cubs organisation.

"Bluesky is dying???" That's just nightfall, man. Sheesh

#Mariners podcast ignoring they did not see Hunter Brown or Yordan Alvarez. Christian Walker is seemingly discovering how to hit, and Cam Smith is attaining beast mode. Arrighetti and Blanco on the shelf and LMJ building himself up to be serviceable. It’s going to be a long/tiring season.

Astros looking mid (yay?!), but then I remember the Nazis.

Just need a good day of baseball. Everything else is melting, but I just need some good baseball to believe that something is going on in the world.

Enjoying a Mariners podcast as they meditate on losing to an anaemic Astro team. Then realising that the United States is a Nazi hell scape and returning to a depressed state.

I used to make money through logical baseball analytics. You know, from 'wagering'. Baseball, being drunk, is great as a fan, not as a side hustle. Dammit!

Every time I see Joe Espada in tears over the Lance McCullers death threats. I am so in awe of how much that man loves his players. I am disgusted that he is the exception to the rule, perhaps Bruce Bochy, Bob Melvin, Torey Lovullo, Aaron Boone and Dave Martinez in speaking out about it.

Excited to see a platoon of Gusto and Blubaugh in the ALDS. Kidding. Kind of.

Pete Rose was a sexual predator. And yet we are talking about his cheating? it’s up there with blaming the Dodgers for ruining baseball, when in reality, they bowed down to a Nazi because it’s great for business.

Take note pitchers: this is the movement profile and locations you need to strike Ohtani out. Having an 89 mph fastball and 65 mph (!!!) slider helps, too

Death, taxes and #Astros pitching

Imagine how miserable it must be to experience the world without wonder and delight. Everyone in power right now: no curiosity, no kindness — just power and “prestige” and profit. So pathetic. Dangerous and destructively consequential, of course, but also tragic. Protect the weird and wonderful.

I’ve accidentally entered my “podcast” era. A true Astros fan, I appropriated Baseball Is Dead and spun it into something unhinged for design. It’s called UX IS DEAD and no, I don’t know what I’m doing. Apparently if you throw some mics at designers and existential dread, it is worthy of sponsors.
