One of the most memorable games during my time working for the Tigers. It will always be a perfect game to me.

Just watched the finale of “You” on Netflix. Gotta give praise to blakeneely.bsky.social for the music choices. The closing song was *chef’s kiss*

It’s Jackie Robinson Day. @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social calling out MLB’s blatant hypocrisy is what I needed to start this morning off.

Watching episode four of the @netflix.com documentary on the 2024 Boston Red Sox, and I gotta give credit to Jon Ernst for using both the UK Surf Mix and the original version of “Wave Of Mutilation” by @pixiesofficial.bsky.social as the soundtrack of Jarren Duran’s story. Perfect choice.

RIP Val Kilmer. Not included in the @nytimes.com obituary is a mention of his outstanding performance in “Real Genius”, an iconic 80s movie that most of Gen-X has seen a thousand times. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/m...

Breaking News: The top vaccine official at the FDA abruptly resigned, saying that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “misinformation and lies” were irresponsible.

One thing that constantly amazes me is the sheer number of people who are collaborating in all this. I had no idea they lived among us, waiting for their chance at destruction.

Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.

Not sure I've seen anyone point this out yet, but per @triumph.boggsmemorialleague.com, Major League Baseball scrubbed the word "diversity" from its former "diversity and inclusion" page sometime after December 14. Left is it via the Wayback machine on 12/14 right is now.

I've asked Major League Baseball's Vice President of Communications if Major League Baseball has any comment on the DoD erasing Jackie Robinson's page from the site and changing the URL to "DEI Sports." I'll update this story if and when the league weighs in. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

My first piece for the New York Times, in this Sunday’s magazine. Digital animation and print illustration by Nata Metlukh. Many thanks to Kate LaRue, Senior Digital Art Director & Editor, who reached out to ask if I’d write about how agoraphobia can make a mundane trip extraordinary.

When I ran for Congress my own staffers (the career pols) literally couldn't believe I just wanted to help. They kept trying to unearth non-existent skeletons in my closet. They were shocked by the lack of scandal. The non-career staff and volunteers got it. Politics is twisted thanks to money.

They're literally doing this right now, you useless old fuck! America is going to end up fighting off a fascist oligarchy in a Norther Ireland-style bloodbath, or in a modern Spanish Civil War, because of your craven incompetence. Fuck you.

The WNBA as an entity continues to not have an official presence here, a stunning decision particularly how the league and players are treated on X. But if you want to support a franchise that has been posting here recently, I'd recommend the @tempobasketball.bsky.social. Start play in 2026.
