This is happening right now, to a friend of mine in Chicago. This is a peaceful area, with no previous unrest or crime problem. Just people trying to live their lives. My heart hurts. They're having conversations no family should have to have.

Reposting for visibility

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition… We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.) Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

So thankful that dudes without game now have the option of driving all of our energy bills up to come up with devastating lines like it was nice to meet you

Just about everyone vulnerable has been told to stay inside. There are literally hundreds of trained emergency response people on the streets of the 1.8 sq mile neighborhood. ICE is driving through alleys looking for anyone who’s brown This is Fugitive Slave Act stuff + foreign occupation

at long last, @lookoutlanding.bsky.social has written the article I've been low-key dying for: humpy, and the self-awareness of the modern mariners www.lookoutlanding.com/editorial/13...

That moment when the sauce spills out and runs down the flutes is so sexy it should be illegal

The FLoP isn’t messing around!

This post needs an updated re-issue because AI companies have truly come up with some incredibly novel ways to push this technology that no one wants onto people.

"Slashdot: What's the reason OneDrive tells users this setting can only be turned off 3 times a year? [Microsoft's publicist chose not to answer this question.]"

bitch what

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

I’m opening for client work for the first time in years! If you need a writer or editor, get in touch! Link is in my profile. My work has been recognized with nominations for several awards. I’m also into game dev, and would love to work on some games. Please help by signal boosting 🙏

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

Anyways. More baseball tomorrow (threatening)

Piggybacking on this to share a story I overheard today. Lady in front of me was USAID. Got fired while she and her family were stationed overseas. Kicked out of their home and kids pulled from school. Moved back here, living in a shared apartment, and she’s selling things on Etsy to get by. 💔😡

Teams not named the Phillies with the 1st round bye are 6-0 in the LDS the last two postseason

Uh, is Hunting Wives a real show I should be watching?

WTF? WTF? WTF????!

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Worst Philadelphia sports week of your life SO FAR

HOLD MY CALLS, I have new tattoos to discover.

15 inning Game 5 tonite 👀 15 inning Game 5 tonite queen?? 15 inning Game 5 tonite 👀

Oh. I hadn't seen this before. I'm still incapable of rooting for the Jays due to childhood trauma ('93), but victory must have felt especially sweet to Vladdy.

on the far left side of the dugout video you can see victor robles appear on the top step and start pumping his fist when his nemesis won the salmon race bsky.app/profile/bria...

Humpy being winless through two full seasons only to steal a victory in the fifteenth stretch to help will the Mariners back into the ALCS after 20+ years is the most made-for-television-movie bullshit ever, and I am eating it up with a spoon.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

Oh! I like the home runs being hit into their own bullpens. That's nice!

Extinguishing MLK's Eternal Flame is both outrageous and a hell of a metaphor for right now www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

A cure implies implicitly that we are a disease, or something that needs to be eradicated. Public perception has been shifting slowly, but the bigots who hate us will be emboldened again to push for us to go back to being small and invisible.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

*day after baseball ripped my heart out of my chest* god I love baseball

the goal is to play baseball, not end the game, sorry

Well the baseball game is over but the night is young for the 38 year olds of Bluesky, and that means it’s time to take a low dose aspirin and read about Bigfoot on your iPad for 20 minutes before falling asleep

i’ve been to Phish concerts that didn’t last as long as this game

I hope nobody forgets that Manfred prevented us from seeing more games like this.

🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ position 🕯️ 🕯️ players pitching in 🕯️ 🕯️ a playoff game 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

You get to read the book, *other* people get to read the book, and every interaction like this that you have with your local library sends a message that it is valued and supported by the community. Apart from everything else, now is a great time to support civic institutions!

Wow, so, you just need the one run to tie it right back up at two, huh. That's wild

hi. sorry to do this again but life sucks

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

…and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.”

I think of this passage a lot when the Phils rip our hearts from our chests: “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings…

I've never seen Nick run faster than he did last night to get to Orion's side. That's both why you'll never make me hate him, and why I understand why you do.
