Folks, on this map, blue is BAD.

#Cubs Win!

After the initial rush, blocks of Bluesky's new AI (attie. ai) have really fallen off. Wouldn't it be nice to take away Vance's position as #1 most blocked? Then he can be #2 in every way.

🚩Tornado and Flood watch for NW IL and Upper Midwest Quad state area this evening.🚩 Check your local radar and be safe. Prepare for storm by securing objects \ plan for shelter. If on commute, look up safe harbors off highway.💖

I'm doing this tomorrow in Falls Church #sciart

#Cubs Win! #CubsWin! They beat the Mets 12-4! Edward Cabrera had a quality start on a tough day to pitch, Nico Hoerner had 3 hits including another home run, Moises Ballesteros was 2-2 with a three run homer! The Cubs are over .500 for the first time this season!

This is shocking and devastating news. Sending my love to his family, friends, teammates, and fans. The Angels have had way too much loss. I’m so sorry and I hate it: www.nytimes.com/athletic/720...

The #Cubs are winning big or losing big. Another good day! #baseball

Wow. Alito recused, but otherwise unanimous.

Bauwens: "I think sometimes in policy, we pick the low-hanging fruit and we get the win where we can so that we can keep forging ahead so that ultimately we can protect all people because that is the goal.” An honest answer...how refreshing...🙄🤬

For those who are eligible, the payment date is June 5th. I don't know why they changed the name to the Canadian Groceries and Essentials Benefit. There's no snappy acronym, it's too long, and it's still the GST/HST credit based on tax calculations. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/04/17/c... #cdnpoli

Sometimes a DOJ actually works for justice. The Oregon DOJ provides a pretty good guide to Oregon's sanctuary laws, including the prohibiting public employees from assisting ICE, children's rights to attend public schools, etc.

Yay, but holy shit!

I made a beach ball to go with my pool float (or an orb for my torus, if you want to be fancy)

PSA: Some people vaccinated between 1963 and 1967 received a less effective vaccine, as it contained proteins from the virus instead of a live version. If you are concerned, ask your doctor to do a measles vaccine titre to measure your antibody levels!

Maybe naive, but perhaps smth like this will backfire and have a positive outcome. When ppl are forced to choose between persecuting kids and their own healthcare, they may get less interested in persecution. Not ideal, but anything that lowers the heat seems good right now.

The #Pittsburgh Botanical Garden has left much of the natural flora untouched, using what was already there to inform and educate. It's more of a ramble than most botanical gardens, and IMO more enjoyable for it.

The #Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is now run by a non-profit. Hoping this could be a route to better journalism.

This is why I fear ABS will have an unfortunate effect on #baseball strategy. Challenges are being used not just to maintain a high level of pitch-to-pitch accuracy.

How about presenting the full article, including the bit about her waking up to find him on top of her? Also, maybe consider what counts as consent, especially when there's a power disparity.

Some info about state-level moves in getting #psilocybin to ppl with #PTSD legal, and the pros and cons of legalizing medical practices that haven't yet been addressed by the scientific community.

If you need a Saturday dinner date, Savannah is available. 🍽️

Just found this, gonna give it a try. They have a "Synthetic Media" filter, supposed to hide AI-generated shit.

So, #baseball fans, what about ABS, now it's been a couple weeks? I read umps are being overturned about 55%, calls I've seen, literally 1/2 the ball in the strike zone. IMO, it's a game for humans, not computers. Umps are already 93% accurate. I was also bummed when lights came to Wrigley.

Cabrera on the mound for the #Cubs. Saturday #baseball.

For those who say that the problem with #baseball is that "nothing happens," I invite you to consider this "cheat sheet." There are many notation systems, but pretty much all track these same things. Whole lot goin' on.

Drop some MASKS

URGENT:

I’ve been hit by projectile and energy weapons a lot more times than I can remember (literally, because of the memory wipes) and it’s not that it doesn’t hurt.

This is my favorite post today!

Hey #Pittsburgh folk! Have a look!

I'm...not getting it.

Putting this out there for people to learn about life on Death Row. Feltus was one of my clients when I was an Inmate Counsel in Angola. When he was executed, he was a kinder and gentler soul than when he went in. He left a vacuum in his wake. #DeathPenalty www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/...

#CUBS WIN! FINAL: Cubs 1, Guardians 0.

Eloise knows you're very busy but she would love a belly rub please if you have a few moments?

What's your favorite new transfemme novel of 2026 so far? Starting to plot out my recent releases order and I'm open to recs.

It's startling how much the price oil moves daily, simply on the word of a pathological liar.

Five shows to get to know us: The Prisoner Star Trek:TNG Twin Peaks Columbo Paranoia Agent

I certainly hope this gets a lot of play

My take: the greedy ones are insurance companies and the companies that make meds and equipment. High costs insurance won't fully cover, assuming you have insurance. Secondarily, politicians who want the support of said companies. Who do you blame for medical bills bankrupting ppl?

This! And if you want to know who in your state is responsible for election administration, check here: It's different for every state.

It's National Farm Workers Day 😁

Edward Cabrera made his debut in The Show last night, and I was lucky enough to catch the game. Outstanding pitching, and he handled his role in 3 plays at first perfectly. Let's go #Cubbies!
