after the brewers scored 8 in the fifth inning my mom was like “are you loving this, al? do you believe this???” and then “i bet you’re having fun, mom and dad!”

these are my grandparents and uncle whose photos my mom moved to the living room so they can watch the brewers in the World Series with us from heaven. they were lifelong fans; uncle al took me to several brewers games when i was attending uw-madison and even one here in texas later on. #GoBrewers!

i just had a thought while watching the World Series and i very briefly considered posting it On Here but then immediately went “no. no, that’s a *tumblr* thought”

i don’t use tumblr on my phone and i’m not at home though so hopefully posting *this* will help me remember the tumblr thought about baseball when i get home lol

after game 2 mom asked me if i wanted to come over to my parents’ house again for game 3 or watch at home and i was like “it’s nice coming over and watching with you” and she pointed at the photos of my (deceased) grandparents & uncle and was like “and them?” and i said yes, obvs. #GoBrewers

uncle al went to tons of brewers games over the years, as he’d gone in on season tickets with a bunch of his coworkers every year. he took me to several games when i was at uw-madison. when he died we found a scrapbook he kept with the ticket stub, program, and METICULOUS stats for EVERY one of them

so anyway that’s why despite not devoting a lot of attention to baseball most of the time, rooting for the #Brewers in this World Series has become my whole personality on here, lol.

my grandparents used to listen to all the brewers games on the radio even when they also could put them on the tv - they’d mute the tv and just listen to bob uecker for play-by-play. just hearing clips of his voice sends me straight back to their living room as a kid.

for those who didn’t see my game 1/2 posts, my grandparents and uncle were MASSIVE brewers fans, so mom moved their photos into the living room so they can see the tv while we watch the brewers in the World Series.

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

horrendous decision-making here, surely we can move one (1) random-ass thursday hawks game to make way for a wnba finals game (especially because the wnba finals have been a total banger)

BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be held Thursday at 12:30pm ET at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. It will be a double-header with the Atlanta Hawks’ game, which will be moved to 8pm.

it is my deepest and most fervent wish that the tech oligarchs suffer consequences for openly allying with fascism the world over maybe we can extradite zuck in 2029

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

So Lula not only won, he basically doubled his margin of victory from 2022. I'm guessing he won thanks to voters who didn't love him, but were terrified to see Flavio given near-dictatorial power. It's going to be a messy next chapter for Brazil, but at least it'll be a fight, not a curb-stomping.

of all of the people in this administration who deserve to go to jail stephen miller deserves to go to jail the most

Jennifer Shin - WTAF@jennifershin.bsky.social

Miller deserves everything that's coming. He's afraid of state prosecutors because a presidential pardon only covers federal offenses; and beyond prison, there's also future congressional investigations and civil lawsuits. www.rawstory.com/rs-exclusive...

i live in texas and my cell number has a texas area code and i haven't donated to ANY campaigns, let alone out of state ones, in years. why are the vast majority of desperate dems blowing up my phone with texts out of state candidates?!

Replying to @leftistwonk.bsky.social

There are some real class differences in perception. Like the $75 a plate, reservation-only restaurant in your city is fancy to you and not to rich people. But nobody thinks that these chain restaurants are high class dining. You can only say that if you are the one who views people as peasants.

upon the brewers win, she said “how about that, al!” LET’S GO BREWERS!!!!!!

victoria elizabeth@surrexi.bsky.social

after the seventh inning when the brewers pulled ahead my mom said “you see that, al? they’re ahead!” (alan is her deceased brother, who was a massive brewers fan. she brought his photo into the living room so he can watch the series with us.)

are we still tagging @jaketapper.bsky.social about this

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

my understanding of the Marines is that "you will fight Gender itself? that's the kind of energy that we need in the Marines" checks out

the navy isn't as much of a surprise but i was not expecting we'd get the United States Marines in the national divorce

liberty mutual was the only advertiser who stuck with tucker carlson after he said mexicans were "filth" so whatever fantasies you have about torturing the mascot are morally correct
