I wonder how Italian players (i.e., Italian nationals/citizens, esp. those playing in Italy's Serie A) feel about being left off the World #Baseball Classic roster in favor of a bunch of (mostly) Americans with Italian last names. It's giving, "YOU'LL JUST SCREW UP THE #WBC! LEMME DO IT!"

I propose we refer to them as Team Olive Garden. Like… Nothing wrong with some Olive Garden now and then. Goodness knows I'm not opposed. Just don't expect traditional Italian food when you go. It's Italian-themed American food.

That "UH-MERIKA! FUCK YEAH!" Budweiser ad with the horse and the eagle? I'm so tired of the pandering.

Teenage crush which never ended.

Greetings (for the final time on this trip) from Hiram Bithorn Stadium in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico. Today's World #Baseball Classic matchup features #Colombia 🇨🇴 vs #Panama 🇵🇦 #WBC

Greetings, once again from Hiram Bithorn Stadium in beautiful San Juan Puerto Rico, where tonight's World #Baseball Classic game between Panama and Canada is not starting on time. #WBC

Greetings from Hiram Bithorn Stadium in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico, where this afternoon @spoiledprincess.bsky.social and I are here to witness a World #Baseball Classic matchup between Colombia and Cuba! #WBC

Greetings from somewhere over the Bahamas, where @spoiledprincess.bsky.social and I are on our way to Puerto Rico for a few days.

Clearly, any mere plebs without a perfect grasp of language and nuance — as this particular paramount of perfection defines it — deserve to be neither seen nor heard.

'Star Trek: The Next Generation' clip #OfTheDay, from season 4, episode 21, "The Drumhead". No reason except that it seems relevant.

Tonight's "near-past classic" #kpop #music #parody, feat. a wonderful cameo by the immortal James Hong.

I feel bad for the family of Nancy Guthrie. Didn't know who she is or why anyone would know her before her apparent kidnapping. But, holy shit, can we get even half this amount of press coverage and concern for the tens of thousands of non-white people who go missing in the US every single year‽

I like finding random #cats. Or, rather, when random cats find me. Though in this case, it was @spoiledprincess.bsky.social that got found by this little cutie. Of course, a domestic cat still shouldn't be allowed to roam freely outside, but at least she was friendly and personable.

Happy Birthday to everyone's favorite porcine superstar, Porky Pig! #Porky debuted on this day 91 years ago (2 March 1935), in the Merrie Melodies short, "I Haven't Got a Hat" (excerpted here), becoming one of Warner Bros.' first true break-out #animated stars.

Observation of the day: Roger Rabbit was a glorified stunt man, but Baby Herman was a real actor. #OfTheDay

Random memory of the day: As a teenager, I once traded my CD of Guns N' Roses' 'Use Your Illusion II' (1991) for the Ren & Stimpy album, 'You Eediot!' (1993). To this day, I feel I got the better end of that trade by a wide margin. #Music #MusicSky #OfTheDay

My knowledge of astrology isn't much deeper than, "What's your sign?" and "My Chinese astrology sign is..." For some reason, I got curious and looked up one of those sign calculators. Sun: Sagittarius Moon: Aries Ascendant: Aquarius Feel free to speculate about what this says about me.

U.S. leadership got very fixated on the "American military v. Iranian military" part of this equation, and forgot how badly the Iranians can fuck shit up for the global economy even if they can't go toe-to-toe with our military. (1/3)

Why did I just sit through an entire 1-hour, 42-minute video detailing the history and lore behind Ghost Rider? How am I finding myself regularly watching way-too-long videos about comic-related things? I'm not sure how Sir_Superhero started coming across my YT algorithm, but it's so engaging.

New word #OfTheDay: omphaloskepsis

i’m tired of hearing about the founding fathers. i just feel like, that’s enough of that

I wish this for everyone I know that wants it. It sounds pretty amazing to me.

Name your favorite movie that's not in English

Time for the annual viewing of the greatest #baseball film of all time. #FilmSky

Annual reminder that you do not have to watch the State of the Union. No good will come of it for you.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

Another of the greats in #animation has gone on to that great inkwell in the sky. RIP Jane Baer. I think I'll need to watch 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' again in your honor.

cannot stress enough how this entire administration is a bunch of classless douchebags

This is my annual reminder to @braves.com fans that the #tomahawkchop is racist, and you are acting in a racist manner if you perpetuate it. And before you argue with me about that: You're wrong and won't change my mind. Just block me if you're gonna come over here with that bullshit.

Greetings from Charlotte Sports Park in Port Charlotte, Florida, where today we're here for the first @raysbaseball.com #baseball game of the spring, against the @braves.com.

I’ve watched a lot of baseball and I’ve read a lot about baseball and in my opinion there’s a strong chance that Josh Gibson was the greatest baseball player that ever lived

DOGE Bro’s Grant Review Process Was Literally Just Asking ChatGPT ‘Is This DEI?’ Federal grants that had been approved after a full application and review process were terminated by some random inexperienced DOGE bros based on whether ChatGPT could explain—in under 120 characters—that they were…

Random experience of the day at [Enormous Public State] University: In class. One particular student clearly codes as "I was home-schooled until I started college" and has explicitly stated that this is his first semester on-campus. He's clearly got very little experience in actual classrooms. 1/x

So now I'm getting texts from the Florida [State University System] Board of Governors. How much you wanna bet they're fishing for examples of "anti-conservative bias" or some such bullshit. This fucking state…

The Gen X urge to Dance This Mess Around

You're all wrong. It's "Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung".

Get you a partner as wonderful as @spoiledprincess.bsky.social, who will go out of their way to mail-order for you a box of #stroopwafels from a specific bakery in your hometown just because they know they're your favorite. She's amazing. And these stroopwafels are, too.

Tired of hearing "Minneapolis won" or "Minnesota won." No. We lost bigtime. Our state government failed to activate the National Guard to do anything more than serve donuts and coffee. State/local cops aided the enemy. It was only the citizenry's refusal to capitulate that's driving ICE off.

Happy "Captain James Cook Getting Stabbed to Death by Indigenous Hawaiians" Day to all who celebrate!

I don't want to take anything away from the Swiss men's #curling team, because they shot an amazing game. But I absolutely couldn't make any sense out of what #TeamUSA was trying to do. The shot-making was already sub-par, but even the shot-calling was… befuddling. #Olympics #USAvSUI

Who's the most famous alum of your high school? One guy got drafted by the Chicago White Sox (didn't make it very far). One girl (whom I had been friendly with in some community theater productions) was later arrested for breaking into a big movie star's house after she'd been stalking him.

Apparently I'm just… bad at sleeping.

This was well done by @jacobfeldman.bsky.social (it's very helpful. But also.... maybe leagues and networks shouldn't make this so confusing to the point where a full 16-box flow chart is required to figure out how to watch baseball.

🤣🤣🤣🤭😏 #BadBunny and yes we love Latin music 🎶 💃 Credit to bsimkova #Canada I love this video, she’s got some moves!

Acknowledging that (A) I am no expert (nobody take my opinion seriously) and (B) @rollingstone.com's various "200 Greatest [genre] Albums of All-Time" lists are comically flawed in many ways: Digital Underground's 'Sex Packets' (1990) is ridiculously under-ranked at #114 on their #HipHop list.

Girls will be like “I needed this” and it’s just safety from deportation raids.

Oh what a lovely shot to finish. #Curling #USAvITA #Olympics
