my coworker and i both windmilling our arms across the hall from each other in imitation of baseball players who don't know how to throw a punch. beautiful

Happy 17776 Immortality Day! www.sbnation.com/a/17776-foot...

Gf showing my cute animal videos to try to calm me down and I keep saying that’s a bad guy in Redwall that’s a bad guy in Redwall

unfair that i can’t leave a voicemail for the potential blood clot in fetterman‘s brain, i would say “hey i’m rooting for you but hurry the hell up”

the important part of having a script if you call your political reps is that it helps you stay on message instead of spiraling into something that will get you in trouble

One of the very best from Clickhole

"more circular than it looked in training" perfect, love these astronauts

i should be allowed to add notations to my storygraph graphs to say "no audiobooks because i was listening to the artemis ii stream for six days." not for them, but for ME, because i'm going to squint at that graph at the end of year

This is absolute trash. Kids are submitting their original art for AP Studio Art classes. Claiming copyright over that work is genuinely evil.

does anyone need this lot of baseball-themed writing utensils? briggsauction.bidwrangler.com/ui/auctions/...

I do not like when Kruk is not in the booth

welcome to crohn's, here's your bidet and public bathroom map. can i also interest you in the car potty for roadtrips and 1990s handheld games to leave in your bathroom?

give the atwater kent collection to drexel, they said drexel takes such good care of the ANSP, they said when in fact they could have just asked ANYONE who has ever worked for ANSP since the drexel takeover about how shitty it is & how nothing gets funded

SPACE IS GAY

On the NASA #Artemis II livestream just now: "... and the song you heard was Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan to kick off the crew's day" 🩷🐴🌈

I had to draw this cause it makes me very weepy 💖 #sailormoon #artemisii #fanart

i'm finally going to buy new glasses today and they are going to cost hundreds of dollars even after insurance and i just needed to get the complaint out of my system

don't come into MY dms trying to give me shit when you realized that i already follow the civil war cat tails museum, aka the museum in gettysburg that recreated the entire battle of gettysburg with tiny cat figurines. is this AMATEUR HOUR

i love looking at the kimmel center events calendar. what do you MEAN the musical 'bat out of hell' based on the meatloaf album is only going to be here for ONE NIGHT

Every Minor League team plays today for the first time in 2026, which means it's time for my work pride and joy: Updating the MiLB county map

I'm sorry, the Phillies scored HOW MANY runs in the first inning??

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

sorry for who i am about to be and by that i mean horny on main for ann miller in the movie easter parade and full of gender envy for peter lawford in the same film

coworker has been figuring out which candies are gluten-free and giving them to me before meetings. conditioning me for something. friendship?

i am once again asking

literally all i want to do is go to the ocean city acme with kruk

what is fielding, really

bottom of the first, down by four, manager thrown out of the game. the phillies are BACK babye

everytime i say "the phillies are testing us" please imagine me saying it like i'm the preacher in the little town where footloose takes place

try and imagine a bigger W as an academic

hey quick question what the fuck was that, garcia

I just think the Phillies should hit the ball with their bats at least a few times today. At least once, but ideally more than once.

My fav is when Kruk just starts talking about how handsome Cole is.
