Throws right/Bats left is pretty common but it's not every day you see Throws right/Dresses left

we ran a freelance piece on the passing of Sonny Rollins, his connection to Don Newcombe, and the link between jazz music and the Negro Leagues. It's completely free to read:

uh I have some serious questions about the use of this particular photo for a real baseball card in 1887. this is Brooklyn first baseman Dave Orr and come on there had to be a photo that didn't include the outline of his sack on his pants

finding out that king art makes fine tipped sparkly and metallic gel pens has made me so happy

The photographer at my baby cousin’s wedding is so fucking awful that I’m resisting the urge to sit him down and tell him HOW MUCH HE IS FAILING THE BRIDE AND GROOM AND LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE AT THIS VERY SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT WEDDING

so yes I found the absolute perfect journal a few months ago but now I need to find the right hardcover spiral bound notebook for other projects and to do lists. I am normal.

I don't like reading sentences anymore

My iPhone 11 has been pretty slow lately and I know I’m going to need a new one soon. Dreading having to get that chunk of change together, but excited to use an iPhone made after 2019.

In Wemby’s hand, that trophy looks like an adult baby rattle

Wemby plays keep-away with the trophy

My friend @joeygulino.bsky.social is truly one of the best people I’ve ever worked with. A gentleman and scholar, he is one of the reasons I loved logging on to work at Yahoo every day. They’ve lost a king among both editors and men.

Officially headed back to Bangor next month for a retirement celebration for my beloved chorus teacher. Haven’t been back home for seven years, and I’m pretty stoked.

NEW: A group of activists have built an awesome new tool to help immigration attorneys and the general public know when an ICE flight is headed to their area. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

I found reverse coloring books and I’ve never loved something more, and now I finally have a use for some of the gel pens I bought like eight years ago.

I heard “The Best” twice over the weekend and I’m 100% sure I’ll soon be watching the Tina Turner documentary for like the fourth time.

Getting an email from a website I merely visited after not giving them any personal information. I visited and then left, it's creepy and annoying to send me an email after that. I can't even visit a fucking website anymore without being accosted in my personal life

Decided to write about it The Cowardice of Political Incuriosity www.wideleft.football/p/the-coward...

it's hard for me to describe the joy I feel when I open up a recently-submitted article and all the endnotes are in the proper style. that's hours of work i will not have to spend correcting commas and asking for access dates and URLs.

once every few weeks I make myself a little lunch treat and whip up a little garlic white wine lemon sauce for pasta. and it's delicious

This made the book. www.grayco.com/product/weir...

Am I in love with Adolis Garcia? Sources say “yes”

been screaming about this for years. the dems lose for many reasons, but one of the big ones is that they are always yelling "HAVE YOU NO DECENCY, SIR" while the GOP is actually doing awful shit.

This is the dream. Or my dream, at least

"I need AI art, otherwise I can't make my project." Randy Savage cut a promo with nothing but a coffee creamer he swiped from craft services. Stop making excuses and do better.

I haven’t seen something from Southampton unexpectedly sink like this since Captain Edward Smith of the White Star Line crashed into an iceberg in the North Atlantic in April 1912.

This is a must read.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

“oooh the pirates might be good this season they’ve scored so many runs and won a bunch of games” they do this at least once a season do not be fooled by them ever

I’m unable to listen to “Miss Jackson” without singing “four eels” my brain is ruined

I applied for a part time editorial job a few weeks ago that I really really wanted and I just found out I got it and damn it feels good when something goes right every now and again

If you would like to read my AWARD NOMINATED PIECE, I think it is the piece of writing I'm most proud of and I would be delighted for your thoughts and reactions. racketmn.com/whats-the-de...

TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT 7 pm at @wordbookstores.bsky.social in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. @jayjaffe.bsky.social and I will be talking the World Baseball Classic, international development, and my book WE SACRIFICE EVERYTHING TO BASEBALL. Come on out. RSVP and more info: withfriends.co/event/279338...

Dodgers Pride Night is June 5 against the Angels, and they are putting up a permanent display in the centerfield plaza at Dodger Stadium honoring Glenn Burke and Billy Bean

having dinner tomorrow with my first boyfriend ever (8th grade, he was a drummer) in advance of a high school chorus reunion next month. we've stayed friends over the years but it will be our first time seeing each other in 24 actual human years

yelling so loud at the flyers the dog has left the room

I’m concerned about a lot of things here, but Syndergaard’s hairline is close to the top of the list.

I’m on to MI:3 now, a movie I could watch maybe a thousand times.

There are parts of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: 2 that are genuinely hilarious. There’s literally a white dove flying by as Ethan Hunt walks through a doorway on fire. The score has wailing choruses! Two guys have a motorcycle fight!

hey this flyers game is cool

Watching my parents’ dog next week in Harrisburg and I’m 99% sure I’ll be doing a Lord of the Rings trilogy extended edition marathon rewatch

Grandpa Al was amazing. Leftist actors rule.

I think the Phillies have a chemistry/culture issue but replacing Topper with Mattingly isn’t really going to fix it.

they're pulling out of the golf league which is the funniest casualty in this whole thing. i hope the PGA tour makes everyone who defected caddy for 2 years before they can play again

girl lunch: crackers with pepper jam, hard liquor, five kumquats

Tubi has all the old Looney Tunes I watched on Nickelodeon as a kid, including cartoons featuring Speedy Gonzalez and Pepe LePew. I’m ready to watch, laugh, and feel deeply uncomfortable!

I can't believe it took me this long to realize that I can turn old timey baseball photos into cross stitch patterns and make them, which I think many in SABR would enjoy.

when i get a really good article from one of my authors, i love sending them a note to tell them. i read so much stuff so the good articles really stick out to me.

This is what happens when you ask AI to create a YouTube thumbnail for the baseball team you podcast about. @justinklugh.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social LIz, I don't know why they didn't create one with your face.

Decided to see a few movies at the AFI Silver’s Bleak Week film festival in June. Back to back showings of THREADS and BREAKING THE WAVES. The lineup is excellent, if you like seeing directors experiment with how much sadness they can cram in one viewing experience. silver.afi.com/events/detai...
