"Organizations that provide anonymous legal advice for military members grappling with orders they fear are illegal said they had received calls from service members concerned about the legality of the boat strikes, some from people directly involved in them..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Very much enjoying “How Retrosheet Saved Baseball History” by @jaywigley.bsky.social. You can buy it here! bookshop.org/p/books/how-...

Canelo borrowed it. May not get it back.

The admin is making its unlawful intentions for the midterms clear. But laws guard against this type of interference—and because we know what’s coming, we can prepare. We teamed up w/ @brennancenter.org to help advocates stand up for free, fair elections: https://protdem.org/election-advocates-2026

Sartre didn’t write BEING AND NOTHINGNESS as a craft guide for novelists, but it turns out his insights are valuable for writers.

Chicago is an incredible American city. It will never stop blowing my mind that the worst people in this country have convinced their fellow worst people in this country to be afraid of and/or hate big U.S. cities. I cannot wait to be back here and I'm not leaving until Wednesday lol

NEW: Trump repealed Biden’s zero-tolerance policy for gun dealers who willfully violated the law, invited revoked dealers to reapply and shifted hundreds of ATF agents to immigration work, while ATF referred fewer gun-trafficking charges to prosecutors.

Does anyone happen to have this card? Vladdy Guerrero Jr. 2022 Topps Brooklyn Collection. Would love this or any variation of this card, if anyone has one. Thanks!

Hey hobby fam! Time for another Sunday #giveaway thread! If you could receive one card from another #thehobby fam member, what would it be? Keep requested cards under $30 in value. Please post cards you can give, & RT to share with others. #cardsky #generosity #cards4free

If any of you liked the 1969 Topps inspired poster that Eephus used you're going to love that you can get a set of Eephus cards if you preorder the blu-ray. musicboxshop.com/products/eep...

Why do we still load plane passengers from the front in this 2026th year of our lord?

Manhood will only be only "front and center in the race" if you characterize it that way, NPR. It's more accurate to say that Paxton's messaging is juvenile and stupid and that your not calling it out as such serves to elevate and validate it. bsky.app/profile/npr....

In 2024 when we said democracy was on the ballot we were not exaggerating.

@sfchronicle.com @mercurynews.com Can we expect any reporting on what appears to be voter fraud connected directly to the White House?

Authoritarian Tennessee Republicans continue to punish Black Democrats for speaking out against their racist redistricting👇🏽

Flight to Atlanta but spent talking the 1972 World Series with the woman next to me who was still bummed that “her Reds” lost. My backpack patch started the conversation :)

Victory isn't always as big as base hits or catching fly balls. Victory can be an improved at-bat despite a strikeout or picking up a grounder and throwing towards first base. He won't make the majors. Hell, he doesn't even care to play. But he tries, and it makes me proud.

They spent 28 years in prison for a crime they did not commit. The three men were represented by attorneys at the Innocence Project, the Exoneration Project, @innocencepa.bsky.social, and DLA Piper. Read more: innocenceproject.org/news/philade...

“We could hear him groaning in pain.” @nashvillebanner’s Steven Hale tells @democracynow about being there as @GovBillLee’s Tennessee failed to execute Tony Carruthers because they couldn’t find a vein— not because thousands pleaded for mercy due to faulty evidence.

Just had a Retrosheet & Dave Smith Mention on Phillies Broadcast @jaywigley.bsky.social Dave supplied today's Trivia. Name the 4 HOF to play for both Cleveland & the Phillies The Crew missed this gem:

Hey #cardsky, anyone know what kind of cards these are?

Not sure why I’d expect better but. . . www.beyondplastics.org/press-releas...

Okay, #orioles mutuals, again I have an extra ticket in section 340 for tonight's game, free to a good home. Do you want to come watch the spiraling O's with me for a few hours? I've got a parking pass for Lot C, so I'm willing to do transport if you're in my radius (Parkville).

What happened to you that changed the entire trajectory of your life? My family sent me to military school.

Watching some early Dark Shadows while a thunderstorm rages outside, a perfect pairing.

Highest ranking person in our business area is visiting from the east coast. He's touring the 5th floor with his San Diego team. He's wearing a suit for some reason and the way he told me, "Aren't you...colorful!" makes me think he's fan of them bum-ass, boring Yankees

Excited to receive @toddradom.bsky.social’s new book, which combines outstanding illustrations with great storytelling. This one’s a treat. Congrats, Todd!

UPDATE: @GovBillLee says he will NOT halt the execution of Tony Carruthers tomorrow “FALSE TESTIMONY SENT HIM TO DEATH ROW. TENNESSEE IS ABOUT TO KILL HIM. Carruthers’s murder conviction hinged on the claims of paid informant who repeatedly recanted.” theintercept.com/2026/05/20/t...

Belated thank you’s to @metsuniverse.bsky.social , @jaywigley.bsky.social , and @smith6668.bsky.social for the cards from the Sunday @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social thread. I appreciate everyone that puts up cards to give away, and I’ll get back to offering some again this weekend!
