Bullpen game version of thanksgiving dinner: no main course, just eat a whole bunch of side dishes.

How come Gino's in jail? Guess there is a jury outside Texas who would convict a baby.

Have you done a #RiskyOrNot episode about eating your hat yet? @benchapmanncsu.bsky.social @bugcounter.bsky.social

Why has nothing changed in 17 years?

Ralph Wiggum is unironically better than anyone the Republicans have to offer.

Who put the Thorns sticker on the giant Spirit sphere?

Breaks my heart to thunk of Trin leaving the Spirit but she deserves to be paid her worth and this is a real good time go get out of America. I want what is best for Trinity Rodman.

Checking out the Fall Stars game last night with folks from @stadiumjourney.bsky.social and the Ballpark Chasers Facebook group. Great experience. Top prospects, six minor league mascots, fantastic stadium, great crowd of true baseball fans. One of the best baseball experiences I have ever had.

My newest @stadiumjourney.bsky.social review takes us to Laurel Ice Gardens, home of Maryland Terrapins ice hockey, A nice little rink for college hockey at the club level. www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/lau...

Phoenix resident describing the city's highways to me: We've got the 101, the 202, the 303, no 404 though. Me: Guess they couldn't find it.

A new @stadiumjourney.bsky.social review today takes us to the state of Arizona for some Arizona Fall League baseball action. Salt River Fields at Talking Stick is the home to the Salt River Rafters and the Spring Training home of the Rockies and D-Backs. www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/sal...

Happy Poll Nidre to all who observe.

Wild stats in Northeast DC this afternoon. Hampden-Sydney leads Gallaudet 61-0 at halftime, but because Gallaudet is milking the clock to keep their defense off the field and Hampden-Sydney is scoring so fast and doing a lot of no-huddle, Gallaudet has more time of possession. @sickoscommittee.org

And my second new @stadiumjourney.bsky.social review - Fred Rust Arena, home of Delaware Blue Hens women's ice hockey, in their first year as an NCAA program. www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/fre...

One of two new @stadiumjourney.bsky.social reviews for me this weekend. Kehoe Field, home of Georgetown Hoyas field hockey. It's a very basic field, but it's good to see the Hoyas back on campus. www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/keh...

And seven couldn't be bothered to show up. Do like the Pope and lock them all in the Capitol until they come up with a budget.

Donald Trump cheats on everything and everybody in his life, literally shits on America, imprisons his enemies, and is just all around one of the worst human beings alive today. How does anyone still support this terrorist clown unless they're also fascists?

Cat paw in flour - Risky or Not? @benchapmanncsu.bsky.social @bugcounter.bsky.social

Can we lock all of Congress in the Capitol until they pass a budget like they do with the Pope? Lock them in and they'd have to negotiate and come up with a solution that ends the shutdown quickly and benefits the American people. Which incidentally is exactly why they elect the Pope that way now.

Well, he said he didn't want any WEIRD surprises, so technically it followed his orders.

Well this is a new one. I’m at Georgetown field hockey and we were supposed to start at noon but are delayed about 25 minutes because of traffic delays caused by the Army Ten Miler. Lots of road closures, many of which weren’t on Waze. Took me a while to get here too.

Today on @stadiumjourney.bsky.social - another trip to St. Mary's College of Maryland's Jamie L. Roberts Stadium, this time for St. Mary's Seahawks soccer. One stadium, two fields. To find out more, read this review and my field hockey one. www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/jam...

My latest @stadiumjourney.bsky.social review takes us to Jamie L. Roberts Stadium on the campus of St. Mary's College of Maryland, home of the St. Mary's Seahawks field hockey team. Also soccer on the other field, that's coming tomorrow. www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/jam...

So Booker voted on this too, so it's not like he had to leave after the Democratic CR vote and before the Republican CR one. Where the hell did he go? Really long bathroom trip?

Why the hell didn't Booker vote on the Republican CR? Unlike the other five non-voters, he DID vote on the Democratic CR so we know he was there. Is he a coward, is he having second thoughts about continuing the shutdown, or did he just get stuck on the toilet or something?

About 400 more fans than DC United drew for an MLS game in the same stadium yesterday. Probably much more than that if you count actual gate attendance. Everybody watches women’s sports.

It’s a beautiful day for a @washingtonspirit.com game.

Is Vance just going to refuse to swear in any Democrats after midterms? This will become the new normal? This is how they cheat?

So YouTube TV can't afford MSNBC carriage fees but YouTube can afford a $21.6 million BRIBE to Trump? Come on now, don't censor these pro-democracy voices. History will recall your fascism. www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainmen...

The YouTube closed captions attempting to treat the Irish anthem from today's NFL game as English are ... something.

Apparently the National Guard Trump sent to DC isn’t given water since two of them just asked security at Audi Field where they could get some and were directed to a nearby hotel.

My latest @stadiumjourney.bsky.social review takes us to Reeves Field, home of American University Eagles soccer. A pretty good experience and vastly improved from our last visit six years ago. www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/ree...

My new favorite rivalry

This is the most Chaotic Neutral Bart has ever been. Do a really nice thing for your best friend, but only so you'll be cool again?

Me: Alexa, set a reminder for 8:30 AM tomorrow to go to Government Center and vote for Abigail Spanberger Alexa: There is no user on your device named Abigail, would you like me to remind you instead?

Eating seagull meat that live seagulls have gotten into - #RiskyOrNot @bugcounter.bsky.social @benchapmanncsu.bsky.social

*gently holds the squirtle*

Just a reminder why Maggie is the best Simpson.

Maggie riding Santa's Little Helper like a miniature horse is the best part of this episode.

I had a dream a couple nights ago that the @washingtonspirit.com beat the Current 3-1. Come on, Spirit, prove my vision true!

Squirtle!

Even after 18 years, this scene remains to be one of my favourite moments from the entire series. The score, direction, animation and the camera circling around Homer and Marge, it's just a perfect scene

Maggie, the vigilante hero baby we need in times like these. Mr. Burns, the mobsters, now Russ Cargill.

You know, I always found that part to be rather wholesome. Life is only as wasted as you believe it to be.

I mean, Homer would kind of have a point, except for the part where this is all his fault and he's not even in the dome to face the consequences.

There's a lot of garbage in the White House.

Surely this is unrealistic. If the head of a government agency were to enrich his own company while oppressing large numbers of people, SURELY there would be some investigation and the courts would shut things down, right? Oh wait...

"I was elected to lead, not to read" sounds like peak Trump. And he appoints his rich buddies to head government agencies? Yeah, sounds familiar.

He didn't even buy Bart food after he'd been chained to a post since lunchtime and now the sun's going down? Did he even eat lunch before his nude journey?
