Hey D.C., that rumble you all felt was Baltimore Oriole Sam Basallo fall on the ground while catching an impossible foul ball. #Birdland #MLB

Bought a rotisserie chicken for lunch today. It was $5.95 and so small that I wondered if it was a pigeon. Reminded me of Mickey Mouse's Christmas turkey in "A Christmas Carol."

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (Maryland) just called the "party of Trump" a "cult" on the same episode of Meet The Press.

BREAKING: WHO declares global health emergency over Ebola outbreak in Congo, Uganda with over 300 suspected cases and 88 deaths.

Thing I learned by watching #NHL hockey: PFK is the French translation for KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), standing for Poulet Frit Kentucky. This name is used exclusively in Quebec, Canada.

Halfway through the first period and the Sabres pulled their goalie. Even if the Sabres won, I doubt we'll see Lyon again. #StanleyCupPlayoffs #NHL

Ref was already mad at the Spirit for Hal's reaction, and took it out on Trinity! She didn't deserve the yellow. 🤬 What's this refs name? He's going on my shit list. #NWSL

The way this announcer is stumbling over "Di Guglielmo" is getting VERY embarrassing. Do they not get any kind of pronunciation guide before matches?

Did she just say "Di Googala Elmo"?

The Washington Mystics went into overtime. I literally just started watching the Spirit on my TV one minute before the SD Wave scored. #NWSL 😠

I did it! I jinxed him!! 🥳 I ruined Arrighetti's no-hitter.

Have the Fever-Mystics on the TV, the Washington Spirit on my phone, and the Arrighetti no-hitter against my Rangers on the laptop. #WNBA #NWSL #MLB

@ the Washington Mystics:

Conflicting emotions: In awe of Caitlin Clark, but wanting the Mystics to win! I can't be against Caitlin! 😭 #WNBA

The kind of tumbles and hits #WNBA players take through an average game would make NBA players cry for their mothers. Women are tougher. 💅💪🏼

Switching over as soon as the Mystics/Fever gane is over. Great night for #WNBA and #NWSL in the DC area.

From T-shirts and jackets, to Greek organization paraphernalia, books, other mementos and keepsakes, this store – owned, operated and conceptualized by Black entrepreneur Sandra Long – has it all. #HBCU

Last thing the Mystics needed was for Caitlin Clark to get hot in the 4th. #WNBA

It's been a little bit of both. Fever came into the 2nd cooler than they were in the 1st, and the Mystics learned where the hoop was. #WNBA

DC Metro: The person fell onto the tracks at the Rhode Island Avenue station and was hit by a Red Line train at about noon. Crews rescued the victim and rushed them to a hospital while conscious and breathing. #WMATA

Me if I saw Dr. Oz anywhere ⬇️

If I had known Trevor Lawrence would look so ugly with a haircut, I wouldn't have made fun of his long hair this whole time.

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) that serves New York City’s eastern suburbs has been negotiating for months on a new contract with labor officials representing locomotive engineers, machinists, signalmen and other train workers.

Thread. I've found Bluesky engaging, fun and *alive* since the first day I got here, in part because I went out of my way to engage with it, not just expect some algorithm to platform what I do. Also because, fundamentally, I'm here to be social, not just to market, and that has a long-term effect.

VERY FEW NEWS ORGANIZATIONS ARE REPORTING THIS OUT CORRECTLY: "The House bill, though, does not restore funding levels to 2026 for all of its major programs. Exploration gets a $1.1 billion increase compared with 2026, but science funding would be cut by $1.25 billion." 🧪🔭⚛️

Is the fraud in the room with us right now JD?

The Dallas Cowboys haven't done anything of note to be worth THREE Sunday Night Football games.

This Habs-Sabres game is drunk. Score is 3-2 halfway through the first period. #StanleyCupPlayoffs #NHL

“I think the lesson here is watch your kids,” Tom Costello told viewers, calling the accident a “wake-up call.” “This was a 17-year-old. Probably hadn’t been driving long. One hundred miles per hour,” he said. “I can’t believe he’s alive, to be honest with you.”

Astronomers gathered at STScI in Baltimore, Maryland, this week to dive into the puzzle of how the universe became enriched with elements over time, including new revelations from #NASAWebb. Credit: E. Wheatley/STScI.

The launch of NASA’s next great observatory, #NASARoman, will be here before you know it! NASA’s Universe of Learning has all the resources you need to get ready, including background science info, videos, hands-on activities, and ideas for event planning: https://bit.ly/4tgOpxP

Is dating in 2026 this hard?

The relevant portion of the Jason Collins discussion

Seven years ago (in the BEFORE times), I worked at an organization that pulled off the annual #PoliceWeek Candlelight Vigil in DC. Today I saw a large Philadelphia Police Department caravan drive past my house in Baltimore on their way to DC. And I remembered how much freaking work that event is! 😵‍💫

If you want to share this Hubble-Roman galactic bulge video with folks outside of the Bluesky world, it's on YouTube: youtube.com/shorts/mVcvy...

Eww, Chip Roy has Ted Cruz in his campaign commercials!! Texas, I love you, but so gross!

I'm at my sister's in the Dallas area, and the political commercials here are INSANE! They're arguing how a candidate "isn't MAGA enough" for Texas! 🤯 "How dare this candidate say he's OK with Muslims moving into our neighborhoods! Sharia law in every Texas city!" It's Texas-sized stupidity.

"General Hospital" is on in the background at my sister's house, a show I used to watch during the summer my entire adolescence. Trying to figure out what is going on, why are the characters I used to know as babies in 2003 are now adults, and how are people still fighting over Jason?!

Stopped at an H-E-B while in the Dallas area today to pick up a few packs of delicious tortillas.

WINE REVIEW: Bellview Winery's Fioré Rosé blends Merlot and Petit Verdot grapes from New Jersey. This pleasantly crisp rosé features a rosy pink color and aromas of apples and pears. With a light flavor profile and a hint of sea air, it is perfect for summer gatherings, earning a score of 8.5/10. 🍷

This zoom in to the galactic center shows the regions that were observed by Hubble ahead of #NASARoman’s Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey. These two observatories will help to identify hundreds of new exoplanets and characterize millions of stars: https://news.stsci.edu/42TpwwF

Reminder, our next event is THIS THURSDAY (May 14th) starting at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:00 pm)! Come to Guilford Hall Brewery and learn about next-gen observatories, black holes, and sending a helicopter drone to Saturn's moon!

This Hubble survey sets up Roman’s future observation near the Milky Way’s center! 🔭 ☄️ #NASARoman

Spending the weekend in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and just saw a commercial about how John Cornyn is too liberal for Texas.

Why do I keep booking the super early flights? 🥱
