Hey everyone! This is my first article with @optimusfantasy.com, and it would mean a lot if you read and shared it. I welcome any feedback you may have as well. Thank you so much!

people like taylor lorenz who would rather play devil's advocate for generative ai and call people against data centers dramatic than support the humans/environments directly impacted are exactly why democrats fail and i'm beyond tired of them

So as far as Jacob Morrison goes, @drewgotigers.bsky.social and @notnotcknock.bsky.social nailed their reasoning on @jointheranks.bsky.social for his higher grade. Things I like: sub 1 WHIP and ERA, and the Brewers pitching development in general and with the Miz. Needs more K% though

We decided to look at who didn't make some of our org top ten prospect lists and then cherry-pick some ideas from @joejuliette.bsky.social and @prospects411.bsky.social Episode 95: Top Ten List Snubs, '25 Draftee Grades, and Hot Starts Fact/Fiction thedynastyguru.com/2026/05/17/e...

As a California taxpayer, I am thrilled to have my money improve the quality of life for my fellow Golden State parents & their babies by offering support during a very intense period in their lives. Miss me with this argument.

Please, sir. My US politics. They’re starving. Won’t someone think of my US politics

That's Meta Knight

alright. it was probably inevitable I did this. here's a baseball newsletter, but for things that don't end up in stories that I'm working on otherwise. leftonbase.beehiiv.com/p/welcome-to...

Yo he's new to Posting™ here but y'all should follow @julioadriand.bsky.social - dude's a killer photographer and loves Ramón Laureano and honestly? That's the perfect bsky combo

I joined @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social on his The Fancestor podcast. If you want to hear about how I became an Orioles fan and the ups and mostly downs during that fandom, give it a listen. Aaron is an A's fan and has encyclopedic knowledge of that franchise, but he also did his research on the O's.

A Castellanos homer is extremely promising

Go @sandiegowavefc.com imo

Just want to take a sec to be earnest before I return to shit posting about the Mariners: If you are feeling hopeless about the current state of things, the best way to start feeling better is to do something. Maybe even invite someone to do something w you! Big stuff & small stuff, it all matters.

Noah Kahan, man

me presenting the latest round of supposedly indestructible toddler cups, you know the ones, they're wrapped in some new kind of alien rubber that can be dropped off a mountain and won't break: look at these new cups I got My toddler: hold my beer

I enjoyed the Pitt finale

Go read a book. Draw something. Call a friend. Stop using AI.

Shakespeare would've killed AI with hammers I can tell you that much

no, because market size becomes irrelevant when San Diego, a city with what people have deemed a "small market team," is gonna see the Padres being sold for $3.9b, which is more than what Steve Cohen paid for the Mets. owners have the cash. market sizes don't matter here.

I like to think I bring a certain Yes vibe to the Is Gen AI Unethical? conversation that some people don't really like

"Just wanted to get you guys excited" I kinda dig this attitude I guess but buddy you've won 3 in a row and 6 of the last 7 games. AND the last 2 wins have been on walkoff homers!!! We're good I promise!

I'm sorry, wut

The haters said I couldn't stop drawing my vacation cappuccinos. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters #artsky #sketchbooks

Hahaha Slam Diego of course

BOGEY GOES BOOM

What a weird ass Padre game

Got a very bored sounding staffer at Friedman’s office and voicemails for Schiff and Padilla. I did not use Celeste’s script because it did not have the phrase “disgusting cowards” in it enough for my liking but it’s a great start!

I just called. took me one minute. if you're reading this you might have one spare minute to call too

One thing you can do with your end-of-the-world anxiety is to find someone in your community who needs help and help them. You may not be able to do anything about The Big Problems rn, but you can help someone to solve their problem rn.

Thanks for your interest! Your can check my whole Sinners inspired collection here: kashmirviii.com/collections/...

Ok so not only was I VERY wrong about the ICE episode of The Pitt, but I'm just realizing now that Gemmill was saying this to DEFEND the actions of the doctors and nurses in this episode. Which would indicate that he knows the powers that be (industry execs, etc) watching this show are pro ICE.

Deeply unsettled halfway through the latest episode of the Pitt

I hope that this win cleanses the literal Timeline

93 degrees out in my little slice of San Diego today. wtf. It's march

Still.
