51% Illinois with 49% similarities to both Milwaukee and Chicago on the dialect quiz going around. I did it. I’ve held on.

It should go back to the original usage for HR and fair/foul at wall. They destroyed plays at the plate with like 8 rule changes in the meantime. ABS is making already insufferable people even worse. But hey, at least you can gamble on every aspect of it.

Check out the date this was published.

My dad invited another Brian Curtin to his GitHub private repo when my account is the oldest and most simple name—briancurtin—so it almost certainly sorts first. Plus, my avatar is a picture of me, same as the one here. Some other BC is going to end up in his will.

"Over the past half-decade, Denver has seen an explosion of clowns." — I'm glad someone has been studying this. The roads are filled with them.

The state's job board that people on unemployment are required to be on lists me as a _strong match_ for a "Retail Associate" job at BEER KEG DEPOT (caps theirs) four hours away. Seems fine. 8 hour commute for a part time job after a 20 year career in software. I'm in.

This rules. I used to have my dad’s catchers gear that was these colors. The shin guards held up well enough that I actually used them for a bit when I was 10 or so. The chest protector was pretty worn out.

I’m listed as the agent for Michael Foord (RIP) in a Disney procurement system that I occasionally get emails about 14 years later. He gave a talk there but it was a hassle to pay him in the UK, so I took the tax hit and PayPal’ed him.

Oh yeah, good times! My insurance will be $2800/mo in January via COBRA if I have to go that far, which might be a “great deal.”

Does the second best person behind Graham Platner have even worse tattoos?

Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely

I accidentally clicked a "Lengthen" option on a single bullet point of text in an Adobe InDesign document (which currently contains maybe 300 words of text), and 15 minutes later it still hasn't produced a replacement option that it tells me will be 1.2–1.5x the length. Great, thanks.

We’re more of a moon family, but sure.

I’ve been laid off before but this one really tastes like shit because of the AI flavoring.

Matt Taibbi has always sucked FYI

Pulling toward through parking spots should be illegal on a federal level. Maybe even international.

I love European hotel breakfast. 100,000,000 glasses stacked up because they are 4 oz. Yes, I’d like 14 orange juices please. I just woke up and I’m American, I need to catch up and then drink out of a comically large water bottle or I will die.

Why does the plate umpire even go to 3U here??? Not even close, and not requested (at least visually). I guess maybe he asks while tagging? On a third strike with a runner on there is some urgency, but it’s a clear “ball, no!” Own the call. This one is not hard on its own. No idea what 3U is doing.

Raw milk is a lot like normal milk, if you kept it in open-top containers in the men's room at Heinz Field

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

AI ass situation

i have exactly one campaign promise i expect kept for 2028: dropping elon musk into an active volcano from a black hawk helicopter. the rest is negotiable

don’t get me started about putting a runner on second in extra innings. i used to watch the Mets tie it up in the ninth just to lose in the seventeenth. that’s real baseball

The board consists of three semi-literate car dealers who were the state’s top GOP donors. Their top priority is fighting wokeness in the Potato School by putting up a statue of the confederate general who owned the largest potato farm in the state in 1859.

the *real* war of ideas is happening in the comments section of the dominos pizza tracker app and all of us here on bluesky are ceding the informational battlespace

This should be a daily conversation.
