A MASSIVE thanks to all you lovely people who joined in tonight! Shall we reconvene at the same time on Wednesday 27th May for 1982's ENGLISH SETTLEMENT? Please share this with anyone who may be interested! #XTCmusic

#baseballsky Ready for a draft that bridges generations? In SLB-FD5, we are strictly using the Original 24 Franchises (no Mariners, Rockies, Marlins, etc.), but with a modern twist: You can only use player seasons from 1969 to the present. www.whatifsports.com/forums/Posts...

This is a sim league - draft an untaken player from each of the 24 franchises in 1969, and play that team H2H against 24 other teams. bit.ly/SLB-FD5 WIS SimLeague Baseball Re-Draft seasons from 1969-2025 24 teams (3 openings) H2H with playoffs No buy in, except WIS user fee ($1 for 1st league)

If you have challenges posting in the WIS boards as a new user, I will submit a support ticket for you and also accept your picks using bluesky. I've invited a few new users and these problems disappear once their 1st league starts.

#fantasybaseball folks should check out WIS (What if Sports). Instead of drafting the current season 2 months a year, we build teams using all MLB players back to 1885 and run simulated seasons (3 games a day) all year around. I'm running several leagues that use draft formats.

It's great if you love baseball stats, and great if you are interested in team building. Management is more like a GM than in-game, but you do set lineups and define pitching roles. #fantasybaseball

My newest post up at @royalskeep.com as I share my thoughts on the #Chiefs move and why the #Royals should approach the stadium situation differently

Owner John Sherman can take a note from the Chiefs on what "not to do" with their own stadium decision. #royals #kansascity #fountainsup

18 days until the Epstein release is mandated. Assuming it isn't everything, the coming questions are "what was classified since the inaugural and what else was held back?" Then, it becomes a process question in addition to content. Drip drip drip...

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

If the GOP plan is allowed to stand, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 per year would see a $22,635 INCREASE in their health insurance premiums. THAT is why the Dems decided to shut down the government. They are fighting to make American lives better.

While I disagree with the decision to suspend Kimmel for political speech, I think a lot of the explanation offered is helpful to Kimmel's future 1st Amendment lawsuit demonstrating that the decision was based on state action.

Trump seems to realize the legal problem since he is trying to pretend it was about ratings and not FCC political intimidation, but it doesn't appear that the media corporations are making that argument. Whether SCOTUS is willing to defend the Constitution is another question.
