BREAKING: The @mets.com have signed a pitching prospect with an estimated 168 mph fastball, last pitching at a monastery in Nepal, with off field habits documented as “weird”. More on @sportscenters.bsky.social.

Here’s the shiner from that pitching machine that plunked me because it was pitching me outside and I crowded the plate. So yeah, the #AI machines have taken over…

My latest piece is a triptych of small objects including a baseball from Oriole Park, an orange, and glass things. #artofbluesky @mlb.com

Trans rights are human rights!

On 🏳️‍⚧️Transgender Visibility Day, when the Supreme Court declared torture of LGBTQIA people legal, let me remind you that the word for a person born male who identifies as a woman is “woman” and for a person born female who identifies as a man is “man”. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Today is Trans 🏳️‍⚧️Day 🏳️‍⚧️ of 🏳️‍⚧️Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ and it’s the day to see, honor, and recognize all trans people.

If you know me, you know that I’m not a big fan of electing celebrities or retired athletes to high office if they don’t have political experience. However, it’s gratifying to hear @nba.com Hall of Famer Charles Barkley weighing in on the importance of immigrants to our country.

BARKLEY: “Some of the stuff that’s happening to immigrants in our country right now is really unfortunate and unfair. Immigrants built this country. We should admire them and respect them.” 🇺🇸

10/10 chiropractors recommend not sleeping on the Washington Nationals

Nothing like coming home from errands after having listened to a @nationals.com series-capturing win and wearing your fave tee shirt

Took a few swings at the batting cage. The machine was pitching waaay inside, so I moved up and *boom^, it smacked me on the calf. Don’t tell me that the #au machines haven’t risen and they’re not annoyed.

This, and anything by David Macaulay, did it for me…

Uhhhhh, Beavis, I don’t remember owning any droids…

I’ve reclaimed my prerogative to wear a @nationals.com lid because it’s the ball cap that DC’s @mlb.com teams have worn for some 55 years except for the years between 1971 and 2005

@jessica-morgan95.bsky.social hello and happy Saturday! While you and @jia-feng.bsky.social are out I did a study of your “sisters” photo. It’s not perfect - but I’d like to keep working on the idea and would love your thoughts. I wanted to capture the moodiness and how she’s a part of you. #wip

As an out of towner with memories of the Exhibition Stadium teams with George Bell, Lloyd Moseby, and Rance Mullinics I hard approve

I don’t know exactly who I feel about this but Ryan Coogler is a genius and if all is right with the universe the Lone Gunmen will be David Alan Grier, Patton Oswalt, and Josh Johnson

The contrast with Giuliani is palpable and the force is strong in this one

Should we all reintroduce our baseball allegiances for a quick refresher? No explanation. 1: Nationals (Fredericksburg & Washington) 2: Homestead Grays 3: NY Knights 4: The Field of Dreams team 5: Sidd Finch 6: The 1957 Topps set

Not a bad opening day with the @nationals.com sharing the division lead with the @mets.com and hitting three home runs!

This is an interesting list of important cards. I’m not sure I agree with all of them (particularly the Skenes card), but as ephemera it’s a wide range. The 10 most important baseball cards of all time: Mantle and Wagner battle for top spot www.nytimes.com/athletic/714...

FROM NOW ON EVERY BLUE JAY BIRD IN THE WILD IS OFFICIALLY NAMED VLADDY JUNIOR. THANK YOU FOR YOIUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. @bluejaysbot.bsky.social @mlb.com

It’s important to note that neither food prices nor energy prices are included in the core inflation measure, so when Americans go from paying $41 to fill their gas tank to paying $56 or $60 to fill their gas tank and are told that inflation is under control, they will feel ⛽️ 🔥.

This is why I scheduled my vasectomy the day after the Dobbs decision leaked.

RIP to songwriter Chip Taylor, who wrote "Wild Thing" as recorded by the Troggs. X's cover of the tune soundtracks one of the all-time great baseball movie scenes ever, the raucous relief pitcher saving the day in "Major League." www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNCE...

@clareblackwood.bsky.social @laurenholly.bsky.social I will pay you handsomely in cash or anything else (cookies??? Cannoli)? if you can pick up one of these for me!

Consider this a referral - I’ve been a #SABR member since 2020 and it’s the best joining decision I’ve ever made.

I’m on leave from work today so finishing Havel which is incredibly timely, especially the last line: “For the real question is whether the ‘brighter future’ is really always so distant. What if… it has been here for a long time already and only our own blindness… has prevented us from seeing it?”

This is excellent - I hope he wins and someone gives him a signed copy of The Hockey Sweater youtu.be/ZZyDsF-Gp3o?...

I’ve been trying to figure out who he reminds me of and it’s Akhenaten, famed Egyptian monotheist iconoclast pharaoh who didn’t exactly have a lasting impact… @kayleighhistory.bsky.social , am I on to something here??

And what could possibly go wrong now? So much money and so much addiction.

Is there a deduction for the $40 a month/$500 a year (and growing) added to the cost of driving to work due to Operation Epic Epstein Distraction?

Rosy-fingered Dawn showing herself as I walked into my office this morning

Just passed a woman in a “Ski Naked” ball cap and I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

@gtconway.bsky.social has officially blown my mind

It’s not even a concept of a plan of a strike

What I love about @bsky.app is that @eplscores.bsky.social topics trend as much as @mlb.com ones which says a lot about who is on the app

Me, I’m excited about 🇩🇴 - 🇺🇸 semifinal tonight but I’m even more excited about Team ☕️ tomorrow 🇮🇹

If anyone wants to indiulge my support of my ancestral country by marriage please buy this for me and i’ll send you a bunch of card paintings! Thank youuuuuu! www.neweracap.com/products/202...

I much prefer 🇮🇹’s espresso shots and Armani blazers energy #WBC

Hard agree that @usabaseball.bsky.social has 👮 slash 🧊 energy

To be sure this is how they picked the #wbc team 😂😂 youtube.com/shorts/LM7UG...

Operation Epic Overlord (France, 1944)

I’m replacing my jersey like this that an ex stole and I *could not be happier* Thanks, eBay, and may we all be restored!

Happy birthday to the multitalented @dame-t.bsky.social ! May this year bring you everything you hope for.

🇮🇹🤌🏼

And if that happens we all can laugh

This is so well deserved. Congratulations!

Cleansing my feed (and interaction) of political discussion here has helped my mood and my outlook, even as I still stay informed listening to the @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social and following very cool people here.

So today I used the AWS chatbot to tell me what service to shut off so I won’t get charged $40 a month to run a service that I never use so yaaaaaay for ai
