coining the phrase “a dreaded DUI” while confidently asserting that no one ever gave Tiger Woods a second chance is why he’s simply among the best posters to ever do it.

this is an impossible problem to solve, as tanking is a very sensible thing for owners to do as it helps the value of their asset, and the only real guideline for any proposed solution is that it can’t harm the value of anyone’s asset. pretty tough to swing a fix inside of those conditions!

just a delightful way to spend opening day. neat to see a whole bunch of folks who love baseball come to hang out and celebrate it.

celebrating Opening Day by remembering the time two pitchers on the New York Yankees traded wives and families and dogs with each other and announced it at Spring Training with two separate press conferences. espn.com/blog/sweetsp...

Just going to be impossible for me ever feel really good or confident about going to war with Julius and Rudy in the playoffs. tremendously dumb players. costs the team so frequently in really big ways.

Oh man I can't possibly imagine how good that felt

They canceled his citizenship interview and he drove in the winning run to beat the US. Eugenio Suarez is a gem.

beyond all the weird gross shit from the American guys - what a cool underdog story. Venezuela loves baseball so much. they just beat the biggest fucking behemoth in the sport and in the world to become world baseball champions. that rocks! that’s so fucking cool!

hey, the baseball guys have to stop wearing these shiny belts. I don’t care for it. it isn’t proper.

I think Neighbors on HBO should be a required watch for everyone who works in professional politics. all these people vote. your job is to influence these people’s behavior.

Disappointed Anne Hathaway didn’t mention Max Dowman’s goal

the guys and gals who snowblow the whole block should be the ones who make our laws as a state and country.

I hate watching J.J. McCarthy play football so badly that I have placed my full faith and confidence in a 5’9” quarterback.

i’ve come to like this place a lot. but Bam Adebayo scores more points than Kobe and Italy beats the U.S. in baseball is the kind of night that would have been transcendent on peak Twitter. not enough Mike Tirico jokes around here.

If you want policy details you can look that shit up on his website. If you want to know if this is a man I’d drink a beer on a bridge with the answer is Yes, so cough up a twenty spot and go to bed with a clean conscience.

I saw @bradtabke.bsky.social at a legislative happy hour tonight and his ass is still a tremendously decent and kind and smart guy. Shakopee can be a tough putt for a guy like that and I want him to win so I gave him a 100 bucks and you can help him out too here: secure.actblue.com/donate/tabke...

Quite obviously not the point but if white folks wanted a homeland untouched by other civilizations maybe they shouldn't have tried to colonize the other 80% of the planet.

the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.

Jimmy runs a great shop and you should go see him!

Oh hey, I sold a glove to a guy wearing "the jacket".

hey everybody go read this imo defector.com/how-baseball...

I live in a neighborhood where I know and love my neighbors, and would trust them with my family’s well being, and there’s a pizza place with a good beer list that my family (including toddler!) can walk to on a Friday night and see those neighbors. it’s the greatest luxury imaginable. truly.

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

the last like 3 years of Wolves fandom have a particular kind of madness inducing because of how tight the Conference is. there’s like 3 games separating 3rd from 8th so a good week or a bad week is the difference between feeling like a contender or being a play-in participant.

I mean, what the fuck man? what are we doing? this is grotesque. it’s a war crime, open and shut. my tax dollars and yours, to people who can’t be bothered to check their work on illegally conducted wars of choice as they kill more than 100 people at a girl’s elementary school.

one of my favorite expressions of hopefulness is the first 50 degree day in March every year when the neighborhood kids break out the baseball gloves to play catch. trying to will spring into existence. it is a hopeful day here in this corner of Saint Paul, and it rocks.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

The 2026 midterms have to be about impeachment. If you aren’t able to make case to the American people now, you aren’t going to suddenly find the willpower to do what is so obviously necessary after being elected. If we still have a Constitution—or laws at all—impeachment is necessary.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

the decision making at United will never stop perplexing me. the only people offended by this are people who would never ever set foot in the Midway or buy a ticket to a game. completely foolish to try and court them. especially at the expense of your actual fans and season ticket holders.

Have been contacted by one jacket owner about doing a custom leather name patch.

What's this, some kind of Cool Guy Jacket Club?

absolutely incredible that this has now morphed into a situation with multiple press clips. racketmn.com/this-corduro...

daughter is going to try t-ball this summer. which I means I need to teach her to play catch. which means I need a baseball glove. I will be buying one from @djgloverepair.bsky.social specifically because of the Stump Party sponsorship.

that’s right.

second smartest person in the world is the person who decided to have midday concerts for toddlers and kids at First Ave. the smartest person in the world is the one who decided to sell beer at those concerts.

every hockey playoff game, eternally and ever

stump party is a delight, you’re all a delight, totally worth fighting for my life making teddy bear toast for a toddler.

not a novel observation but worth repeating every time - there are basically half a dozen things a day, every day, that would have been the biggest scandal of every administration for the first 30 years of my life.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

This entire piece is spectacular, but this bit is a little grenade

Wonderfully written NY Times piece by a local dad involved in the resistance, really echoes with a lot of what we’re feeling: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o... (gift link)

the One Minute Tours situation started to make sense to me when I learned his primary text based social platform seemed to be Threads. Threads is an insane place. and if it is part of how you read the winds of public opinion you will be wrong A LOT.

It's corny as hell but the solution to fascism is loving thy neighbor

update from Minnesota: currently crying and considering writing a letter to the editor about the heroism of my neighbor. the world will change for the better one day and it will be because of people like Deb, my next door neighbor.
