Core beliefs that show up in my skeets - We outnumber them - I want public disclosure of the Epstein 'Philes and the network dismantled - Following orders you know are illegal does not absolve you of guilt - Standard time is sunset season for me, and there are no bad sunsets. Watch every one you can

I unironically and only slightly hyperbolically say my 'hood has "The Greatest Zip Code in the World" And yet, I would consider moving to Mexachussigan

Maine is ME - they had to go through all the letters before they found one that it deserved. If we had a "Mexachussigan" we'd be calling it "M?"

An op-ed ostensibly written by McConnell attacking Trump Gaming it out: - How will Trump react? Attack back - McConnell's weakest point? He's not among the living anymore Trump will most likely admit McConnell is vegetative and his vote will be nullified Seems un-strategic by Mitch's peeps

Can you imagine being invited to join in? "No thanks. I'm having a root canal done at that hour, and I'm really not looking for an excuse to reschedule"

Trump, Kid Rock, Bill Maher and Stephen A. had dinner at the White House, i.e., where good things happen

Based on engagement, alone, MLB would be crazy to codify check swings Everyone (and I do mean everyone) loves to argue about check swings Leave it be, and the arguments will continue

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social

The vibes-based "I know it when I see it" system of umpires determining if a swing was successfully checked or not is actually fine — a time-tested and effective solution to an annoying problem — and anyone trying to write a new rule to make it "objective" is a sicko who should not be trusted.

Wave game is available on my Smart TV somehow. I got home and turned it on right at the end of the first half. This second half is 🔥🔥🔥

The political environment we live in: The Dems think the best way to get the GOP to do something moronic is to have our heavy hitters make fun of Trump's aesthetic Sadly they're probably right. It's awful that the ruling party of this country can be so easily trolled and no one cares about issues

I heard a college football analyst on the radio say "tough road to hoe" while driving around today and I was highly annoyed (especially since I don't like football, but radio choices are limited) How do you hoe a road? WTF?

Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Funny to me that Fraudsters are complaining about old cheating scandals. Not a topic I would think they would want brought up until certain allegations about how they support such a ridiculous payroll are resolved

Razzball@razzball.bsky.social

Always take the local angle and the local angle for Los Angeles is those cheating Astros

Dog owner: we've never traded names. I'm [redacted] Me: I'm [redacted]. Nice to actually meet you I've known their dog's name for years. This is far from a unique situation Is this common in other 'hoods?

I am not an art aficionado, but the clouds this evening remind me of classical paintings in their epicness. Looks like rain in our future here on the shore

The Dodgers-hater in me actually thinks it's good that the one thing Mark Walter seems to be trying to hang onto in his current dire straits is his baseball team I'm guessing the longer that alleged fraudster is associated with the team, the farther they will fall

An interesting question is: will players start abandoning the Dodgers ship? I am not a lawyer, but I would imagine the players can get out of their contracts if they can establish the contracts were funded by fraudulently obtained funds. Will they? I would guess at least a few will

Even though we haven't gotten as much rain in my hood as I had hoped, we have had some fun cloudscapes the last few days. Here is a monstrosity floating out over East County San Diego this afternoon. Mount San Miguel on the right gives some perspective

The thing about the Saudi slush fund is that if The Don of the crime family didn't get their cut, that's where the real danger lies. If The Don of the family didn't know Fredo was getting $2B surreptitiously, they're going to be apoplectic now that they've found out. Or maybe they're in on it

If I was to tell you that Trump had a staffer named Britt McHenry I bet you could describe her pretty accurately without knowing anything about her

I was today years old when I discovered there are people in the baseball HoF younger than me I don't usually give a shit about growing older, but that one is gutting me

Happy 53rd Birthday Ichiro Suzuki ~ The first ballot Baseball Hall of Famer was born in Japan on this day in 1973! ⚾️ #MLB #Mariners #Legend

This is insanity

WH Press Pool Reports@whpresspool.bsky.social

Pool report #9a From the president’s tarmac gaggle after joking “a lot of people want to see me try” to fight Evander Holyfield. Asked if he spoke to Darline Graham about Russia sanctions named for her brother: (1/9)

I don't know. Depends on your definition of luxury, but this might actually be more of a prison than anything else

Storm's a'comin' But I still got to see a sunset. First shot shows the sun peeking through and a wing surfer out. I believe this is the first time I've seen a wing surfer at my home break Second shot is rays from the already set sun going up. Also maybe a first?

I don't care that my ex-favorite NBA player is creating great content. Until he stops repping a gambling company and apologizes for his mistake, LeBron is dead to me

Your take made me think Elon is like Nolan Sorrento (as portrayed by Ben Mendelsohn) They both seem to think tech makes them tough As I think about it, I wonder if Musk was an inspriration for the character of Sorrento

Roger ZenAF 🖕🐸🖕@rogerzenaf.bsky.social

I can't think of a person on the planet I would feel less threatened by if they were to drop mobster-style bullshit like this toward me. The ONLY way I could be harmed by him is by choking to death after hyperventilating from laughing so fucking hard.

Cool as cool can get At least to a space nerd (which I realize is actually very far from cool)

these two photos of earth were taken on the SAME DAY by two different spacecraft, hundreds of millions of miles apart.

"Live by the sword, die by the sword. "Those who pick fights with me should understand that I will find out who is really pulling the strings and come for them, not just their puppets ..." sounds like an overexplaining supervillain seconds before being thwarted from accomplishing all their goals

I wasn't born yesterday. I complained about T1ck3tma5t3r on Bluesky and this account reached out to me. Me and only me. Hmmm... I don't fucking think so, you scammy scammer scammerrooski

How does anyone in the decision chain that allowed this live with themselves? Their conscience should be screaming at them all day every day Unless they are sociopaths

Ian Rapoport@rapsheet.bsky.social

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

Well isn't this interesting I am loathe to DM on here, and I'm most certainly not following you. But if I do, are you going to refund the onerous fee you charged?
