A Muslim-American shipmate expressed concern about this being shared with Crusader imagery and hashtags; a MAGA shipmate accused him of condoning genocide. I hate to be a doomer but I have a harder and harder time seeing a way out of this through all the MAGA-cooked brains.

I am long since lapsed but fuck what a perversion of the message.

Well as the season wraps up I would just like to say it was cool to be part of Orioles Bluesky this season, I learned a ton and it’s a great community, it feels much more inclusive, open than it did on twitter. Look forward to sharing the occasional dispatch from Norfolk again next year.

know when to fold ‘em

Well, baseball people, it’s been fun basking in your emotions, even if I have no idea what events drove them.

Anyone who says differently doesn’t watch baseball.

Every single play over the last 30 minutes of this game has had the same vibe as the "two people wrestling for a gun and then it fires and you don't know who was shot" movie trope.

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

Baseball is the worst because my team was eliminated 2.5 months ago and the next pitch might kill me. It is Nov. 1

Same, we probably had 75 or so in Norfolk, VA. Sat on the porch, chatted with neighbors.

Harvesting the smarties for, uh, reasons. Don’t judge me.

Ermagerd the Orioles posted this on their IG story so I grabbed it before it expires in an hour. 11/10 kid, no notes.

Ran a trail half yesterday, beautiful fall day for a run. Great finish line swag, including fresh, hot food truck donuts and Cheerwine at the finish. The beanie was black, white and orange, organizer must be an Orioles fan.

I was on the continuity of operations list twice, and the second time when I was in N9 and I just found it hilarious that the world could be ending and I’d be there in the bunker ready to do N9 things.

Chanting “we don’t need him” seems to be taunting the baseball gods.
