Greetings from Yankee Stadium in the beautiful Bronx, New York City. Today I'm here for a #baseball game between the @yankees.com and @reds.com

If I ever attend another Sweet 16 party for three girls (cousins celebrating simultaneously), it'll be too soon.

This is really well done. Go check it out, y’all!

IF NOT FRIEND, WHY FRIEND SHAPED‽

"Dad used to say that childhood was like being drunk. Everyone remembers what you did, except you." #FilmSky

Can't wait for the followup when those researchers learn the difference between correlation and causation.

Today is a good day for a Kurosawa film. #FilmSky

Just because it might not intentionally be a joke, doesn't mean it's not a joke.

In a Chicken Salad Chick restaurant for the first time (that I can remember, anyway). It's giving very… Grandma-core.

This evening's viewing: 'Life Stinks' (1991) Is it good? LOL no. But it's still Mel Brooks, for better or worse, and there are still some decent gags, and I can still find enjoyment in it. #FilmSky #Comedy

The Busy World of Doctor Who

Say what you like about Mr Pibb, but at least it's not out here pretending it's got credentials like "Dr" Pepper.

18th century "cat contract" (納貓兒契式; based on a Yuan-dynasty original), laying out the cat's duties and responsibilities: tirelessly guarding the grain, repelling the "mousey bandits" (鼠賊), not messing with the livestock, not stealing numnums "of any kind whatsoever" (不得偷盜食諸般).

Greetings from loanDepot Park in beautiful Little Havana, Miami, FL, where @spoiledprincess.bsky.social and I drove down to see @raysbaseball.com play the @marlins.com #baseball

"The one with the whales" is my third favorite of the TOS films, and it's always entertaining. #FilmSky #StarTrek

Now seen: 'Star Wars: Deus Ex Grogu' Or, at least, that's what it should have been called.

I was reading through a thread & came across a, "discussion" where one man was telling another to hand in his, "man card" for being in touch with his feminine side Epic response: "My "man card" is stitched into my heart. Rock. Solid. Yours is laminated paper that can be issued and taken from you."

Potentially dumb question: Does ACAB include Mappy?

Now seen: 'Arco' (2025) Beautiful and understated. They did so much without overcomplicating the plot with too much exposition. It's ok to trust your viewers to follow along. #FilmSky #Animation

Personal Boundary of the Day: I will only use Mr. Rogers images genuinely and non-ironically.

At the mechanic, which means "home makeover" style shows on the waiting room TV. I wanna see the show where the homeowner comes back and says, "WTF DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE‽ I HATE THIS! WHY DID A DESIGN SCHOOL DROPOUT VOMIT IN MY BASEMENT‽" Then we get courtroom scenes.

Time for day #baseball with the @orioles.com and @raysbaseball.com in the comfort of the dome.

You know you're in a high-class joint when you see this taped up on the wall next to your table.

You ever wanna see earlier Pixar films remade using newer software and (when they exist) models? No narrative changes. No need for updated audio or anything. Like, how would the first 'Toy Story' look using the newer models, lighting, and rendering engine that they've used for 'Toy Story 5'?

Maybe this will sound stupid, but: There's a world of difference between, "You can come if you want to," and, "I want you to come." One says, "I don't care," and the other says, "You are wanted."

A part of my #scorecard from Saturday's Marlins / Rays #baseball game, featuring an unfortunately disasterous 10th inning where the Fish scored 8 runs, having scored only 2 in the previous 9 innings. There's always something new to see when you go to the ballpark. 😂 I blame @backstop.bsky.social

"Hello there everybody, this is Mel Allen. Hey, baseball is a thriller, the sequined star of the 80s!" ~ Classic opening to "This Week In Baseball" (May 1984) #TWIB #MLB #Baseball #History #SaturdayMorning

Ever intentionally put on a song so you can listen closely, realize halfway in that you weren't paying enough attention, but can't stop because you're too far to restart it, and by the end you're so annoyed with yourself that you don't even want to do it anymore because what's the point? Just me?

This evening's listening: Joe Hisaishi's #soundtrack for 'My Neighbor Totoro' (1987) #music #vinyl #lp

Today I learned: After the band R.E.M. released their 1988 album, 'Green', the band Green released an EP titled 'R.E.M.' #music #TIL

Favorite vampire?

Dear Wendy's: I want you to know that I'm at a Burger King drive-thru for the sole reason that I don't want to deal with your annoying, terrible, soul-sucking AI drive-thru ordering bullshit. Just sayin'.

Still haven't found any pre-2004 #baseball ticket stubs I might have hanging around here (though 2004 is really when I started going regularly). Meanwhile, I'm still stumbling across pictures/memories/scorecards for other #MLB ballgames I've attended, and adding. theballparkwitness.com/u/the_peter

This 👇 - They have failed both the Judicial Oath and the Constitutional Oath. They are not impartial, neutral arbiters of the law and don't even try to hide that they are influenced by their own personal political preferences.

New rule: Any professional sports league that isn't co-ed has to specify. Because if the WNBA has to specify, then the NBA should be the MNBA. Looking forward to Men's League Baseball, Men's League Soccer, and the Men's National Football League. (Just reuse the "M" where applicable.)

I do think that every non-Black who questioned Black folks’ job qualifications. Claimed racism was no longer a problem. Was skeptical of AA. Said All Lives Matter. Victim blamed us. Believed they lost a job to DEI. You paved the way for generationally weakening your most reliable voting block.

Canvas is still mostly down, so I can't be productive. Discord is down, so I can't distract myself. Guess I'll just dissociate.

Free political advice: Don't call yourself "Action Jackson" when you look (and probably act) more like "Peter Dellaplane".

As we progress to the eventual end of the current #baseball season (and, thus, the end of the current CBA between #MLB and the #union), I want to see players start wearing T-shirts that read, "CURT FLOOD IS MY HOMEBOY".

Fuck this guy

I've entered as many games in The Ballpark Witness as I could (1) find proof that I attended them (e.g., scorecard, pictures, stubs, etc.) and (2) that exist in their database (e.g., MLB only, no spring training prior to 2006, no WBC). I know I'm missing everything I'd seen prior to 2004. #Baseball

This afternoon's listening: 'Electric Ladyland' by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1968) #music #blurayaudio #rock #blues

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

Infuriating that this senator's idea of a Golden Age of America excludes the very people that built America with their literal blood, sweat, and tears.

I like how our society is currently revolving around who wants to live forever and who wants to burn themselves out the fastest. Both are framed as equally aspirational.
