Hi, I’m Parker. I make art and sometimes I organize things. The Ballard Bubbler is the name I use when I create or do meetups. The name combines my neighborhood in Seattle and the regionally specific jargon for a water fountain (it’s a bubbler) from my Wisconsin origins.

What a grab here, gold glove type shit. How is this so accurate?

That fuckin Brewers game was unbelievable. They straight up did the full Final Fantasy VII Knights of the Round summon animation to the Rays.

Started watching Neagley, the Reacher spin-off, and Maria Sten is a very convincing on-screen runner. She looks fast and athletic and like she can catch anyone. Real Tom Cruise School of Acting Valedictorian type stuff. Also, if you like Reacher well Neagley is good too.

I just remembered that when the Cubs won the World Series, they broke a 108-year curse and unleashed a decade of chaos and dark magic upon the world. And it just hit me. The Brewers winning the World Series isn’t just about baseball anymore. It’s our only chance to restore balance to the universe.

Got my ass beat at a dog park, what even is my life? Two large dogs were chasing each other and just ran full speed through my legs and i went literally airborne. Im fine, but old man sore all over. But damn was everyone around me in a hurry, I bet I looked wild.

Go Brewers! I'm gonna be driving to Portland during today's game and visiting with family during the game Saturday...but I'm with you for every minute I can give Milwaukee. (maybe I should visit Milwaukie and see if they like the Brewers too)

do they teach classes to pro athletes on how to pose for photos? Not all of them can do it, but its better than me. No way I could take a photo and look "competetive" and the right level of "slightly angry" i would mean mug about as well as early Giannis mean mugs, if I was lucky

It took the Empire State Building 600 days to design, permit and build in the 1930s Today, just to get a permit in Seattle for a mid rise apartment building takes you 900 days

California YIMBY@cayimby.bsky.social

A new paper on 60 cities finds that 30% to 43% of the gap in completion times between the slowest and fastest cities comes from permit waits, not construction. Longer projects also mean more interest paid, which raises costs. www.theargumentmag.com/p/how-to-kil...

Putting up (signing contracts with the Bucks) numbers

Hoops Rumors@hoopsrumors.bsky.social

dlvr.itBucks Re-Sign Pete Nance To Two-Way ContractAfter waiving him from his standard contract on Saturday, the Bucks have brought back forward Pete Nance, announcing today (via Twitter) that he has been re-signed to a two-way deal. Milwaukee had been carrying an open two-way slot for most of the offseason alongside Cormac Ryan and Kam Jones, so no corresponding move was necessary […]

in honor of Rays-Brewers here's a handy guide to discussing market sizes and TV ratings of championship series: —you don't have to care about it —it's not your problem —you can just scroll right past any posts about it

Post Preseason Bucks Stonks 📈 1) Brayden Burries, the more responsibility the rook got the better he looked. 2) Ryan Rollins has been handed the keys and will start at PG. Rylo is on billboards now. 3) Jenkins willing to sit vets who don't compete. Will that hold? Honorable mention: KPJ waived

Post Preseason Bucks Not Stonks 📉 1) Kuz, Gary, and Herro are still on my team. Damn. 2) I don't think the Bucks have a true Power Forward. All the big forwards are too slow, or too light, or just bad. 3) The Bucks are gonna stink, but might still barely clear the over cause it's low.

Jenkins knows he doesn't have a 4 and he probably doesnt want to play Kuzma either. Putting the wing rotation on notice in the press. Nate Ament almost a bucks stonks as a rookie but he was hurt. If Ament becomes a real rotation dude year 1, I would be pleasantly shocked. Pretty light, but big

Ware was the only other Milwaukee Buck I wanted and he went two picks before I could grab him on the snake after I took Harper. Gonna miss those double doubles, but I wanted to root for Harper.
