In Which The Yankees Get Hits On Pitches They Have No Business Even Swinging At

bet Allard was real red about this one

it’s repertoire suggestion season for my orchestra again, and I’m thrilled to report that two people who AREN’T me suggested Nielsen symphonies

asserting that cancel culture is a real thing should be immediately disqualifying for public office

it wouldn’t be THAT crazy to pinch hit Ryan Bliss here

FINALLY

bummer to hear about the passing of one of the literary giants of our time. sad I never got to see him. ah well

to win a PR battle, huh?

this reminds me of the time I had a coworker whose literal favorite artist was Ryan Adams and hadn’t heard that Ryan Adams was a loser creep sex pest. You can’t assume people just *know* things, especially in the post-truth/decline of the fourth estate era

?????????? yes? maybe not if they only get their music news from your misogyny rag

well we know Cal and Julio and Naylor will be good, so if Raley and Young and Donovan and Canzone are also good then we probably have the best Mariners lineup since like 2002

whatever off-season improvement plan they put Emerson Hancock and Cole Young on should be extended to the rest of the roster

they’re playing Beethoven 9 by Höneck and the Pittsburgh SO on the radio and I gotta say Pittsburgh is an insanely underrated orchestra. these HORNS

One thing that we all know - the past three years of horrific livestreamed genocides & the complete break down of the neoliberal elite facade means that literally *nobody* takes the pundit class seriously. Most people want livable futures. *We* are not in an echo chamber, they are.

the bluesky feed is now just my lookout landing account, but for a much smaller audience

NUKE RALEY

the tragedy of being chase delauter is that no matter how many home runs he hits, he will never catch delauter

this is way too exciting for a game on March 28

brendan donovan does not need to kill himself catching a foul pop in the first inning in march but holy shit

just saw a guy riding a lime bike downtown with a pit bull sitting on his lap and his hair was perfect

come the fuck on dude

A former volunteer on Wilson's campaign and staffer at the Washington Bus says young people "feel like these cameras criminalize our presence and make us feel like we are being punished for being and having public lives in Seattle."

nothing that she says in support of surveillance has been convincing at all. it seems abundantly clear that she’s trying to justify a position that actually can’t be justified with data or logic, and the only reason she could be taking that position is to avoid pissing off the cops

POV: you decided to go to the mariners game 1 hour and 45 minutes before first pitch because public transit goes directly from your apartment to the stadium

the splitter is humanity’s greatest invention. in this essay,

i haven’t listened to physical graffiti in at least a decade but it does bang

(monty python voice) she’s got ‘UUUUUGE…Iron Age hoards

do i have many independent contractor followers? self-employment tax is fucking crazy, are you telling me i’m supposed to go the rest of my life getting hit with a $5k tax bill every year

a source inside the white house has just informed me that the president will be deploying 2,000 ICE officers to the fortnite island

i think a lot lately about parallels between now and the rise of fascism in the 20s and 30s, but one thing that’s different is that fascism in the 20s was, like, cool. it was the political ideology of youth and fast cars and machines and, particularly before Hitler, lots of people were seduced by it

barad-dûr?

this guy won in 2024 because normies thought he’d lower the price of eggs and everything he’s done since seems to be designed to drive those same normies away. I don’t get it

could be interpreted as “what does one do when society is infected by a moral rot that stems from the head of state“ kind of thing. the longer you wait to tear it all down, the more people suffer; but if you tear it all down, you create a power vacuum and Norwegians take over

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

here’s my hot take: Hamlet is good

U Got the Look

this is my favorite time of year: all the doors and windows open, but wearing a sweater and wrapped in a blanket

everything is more inconvenient and expensive, nothing works anymore, goons might invade your city and kidnap you or your neighbors, and there’s a loud asshole forcing you to pay attention to him at all times

every day i check the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the US. we’re so close to $4! this is so exciting! I understand stock market watchers now

this is so good it’s going to send me into a manic episode

this is worth reading because it really illustrates the entitlement of people like Karp. Partly it’s the entitlement that he deserved to work with Habermas and partly it’s the idea that anyone gives a shit what a failed academic loitering around Frankfurt was up to in the 1990s

i found where your mom lives

brain dump here but there is a breed of western leftist that is committed to rehabilitating the reputations of Stalin and Mao to defend communism as a political philosophy and you simply don't have to do that

conservatives: threatening us with a good time for 120+ years
