I’d just like to get it on the record again that I don’t think the Padres should trade for or sign anyone who is openly homophobic or has a domestic violence incident in their past and no I don’t care if they’re good at playing baseball or not.

Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP

Two posts about a famous person using their platform to deliver a message. The dissonance of them showing up in my feed almost one after the other is extreme. Sorry for the screenshots, but the original posters are @patriottakes.bsky.social @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

"Yeah, I support more sluts in power" I regularly post what I think are pithy, clever comments that seem to disappear into the ether without a ripple. This simple, crass reply to a reply got juice. I have been incentivized. This Bluesky whore will be posting about powerful sluts more often

www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/05/30/i... "He said he believed three workers were taken away after being unable to produce ID" I remember being taught in grade school that an advantage of American Freedom was that we didn't have to carry 'papers'. What ever happened to that?

I know of two breeding pairs of osprey in my neighborhood. This is one of their nests. I'm guessing this is the fledgling in this family, waiting for a meal from mom or dad, but not sure

That the question "What take would you choose to argue on jubilee with total confidence that you'd crush 20 opponents?" is the best question ever posed on a social media site ever in the history of social media.

I hate messy scorecards. But I love the 3rd baseline at the left fielder's depth in Petco

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables. California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world. Let that sink in. #energysky #greensky

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 65 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo* of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador. *as a teen, sewing
