Dammit, I love Southern California

There we GOMS!

11:45 here in Traverse City, Michigan. I need to be up in about 3 hours to catch a flight. Extra innings were not ideal.

“Ssssir this is an in-and-out drive through…,” someone said.

US Open Cup Final is tonight. I just saw that they named a trophy for the highest finishing amateur side after the USASA President, John Paul Motta, who is a proud MAGA Trumper.

Fuck the World Cup

22. The Emperor of Gladness - Ocean Vuong: I was a little weary of another book about opioids after reading Demon Copperhead (which I did love), but this book kind of blew me away. The relationships are just so true to life, so real and so affecting. Somehow light and heavy at the same time.

Who do you open the pocketbook for if you are the M’s? Alonso or Naylor?

Flapjacks are oat bars?

OVERHEARD: Just came out of Petsmart and a guy walking in said to his partner, “Grooming, training, adoption of big naturals” Took me a minute to register what he was saying and then it clicked when I saw the sign.

Let me get this straight: this motherfucker was in Nashville on Friday and then wherever Kai Cenat was on Sunday but flew in to Seattle to be at a Savannah Bananas game on Saturday where **I** had to see him? Fuck Train, fuck the Bananas, fuck whatever airline he flew in on.

Bad news, Spokane, DJ Diesel has cancelled tonight’s show due to to “an unforeseen Basketball commitment.” 🤷‍♂️

the mariners reliever who blew his achilles wheeled around the bases on his scooter, the vibes are off the charts

/normal person watching this "Haha, I love it. I understand all of it and also it's the kind of thing I'm into! These people are my friends."

All the extra bullshit going on in this country right now and then you also get hit with some capitalist bullshit that has just always been the price of living in this country and it really drives home how bullshit this place has always been. #bullshit

Recently, Mayor Bruce Harrell mocked his challenger Katie Wilson's proposal to fund local media with a democracy voucher-style program as a pointless giveaway to irrelevant "blogs." Losing local news coverage is a tragedy, and elected leaders shouldn't mockingly dismiss proposals that could help.

I’m surprised people are surprised by this. Pete is a big “D” Democrat, he’s going to toe that centrist party line. He’s got so many “Democrat Strategists” telling him what to do. He’s also an incredibly shitty actor to the point where I thought this could be AI.

1-9 since the Tigers did the Trump Dance

I laughed out loud when I saw this with the sound off and then I just saw it again with the sound on and, well, wow. That sure is something.

How bad are things for the Mets? They got guys hacky-sacking'ing catches against them

I knew it was irrelevant, but I was shocked at how totally and completely irrelevant the baseball was at the Bananas game. The only plays that anybody paid attention to were the instant replay challenges. They play nonstop music over the at-bats, talk over them, etc. and basically nobody notices.

I. AM. IN. HELL.

15 minutes into non-stop music at the Bananas game and I’m into sure how I am going to be able to stand another 1:45.

I say that and then we play our worst game in a long time and get absolutely nothing from the bench. Brutal.

This Brentford/Fulham game is oops, all mistakes.

Holy crap, Brentford, this is a disaster

I love Ethan Pinnock, but he needs to be coming off the bench only occasionally.

Ethan Pinnock punched in the head by his own keeper. Rough stuff. Hopefully he can continue. We don’t have another central midfielder on the bench. Maybe Ajer.

DAMSGAAARD! Excellent pressure. 1-0 Bees!

While obviously, I’d prefer to have Mbeumo and Wissa, this full 20 roster is about as good as I have seen on balance for the Bees. Actual, literal depth.

The Bananas brought out 62 year-old Jamie Moyer with quite the beer belly to pitch last night and they are still just hitting light pop-ups against him. I’m going tonight out of curiosity.

West Seattle’s biggest sporting event

“The market” Get fucking bent.

Halftime in the Huling Bowl, West Seattle leads Chief Sealth 17-10. Unsurprisingly, Chief Sealth is somehow the only of these two teams that commit Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties. I wonder why that is?

I think this might be the funniest Clickhole post I have seen.

Hell yeah, I worked at The Pizza Place in Lacey for a few years and if I weren't chasing baseball dreams in fucking Texas when it went under, I'd probably still be running that place. The best style of pizza there is, hands down, and I love almost all styles of pizza.

My militantly de-woked alma mater, which Charlie Kirk did not attend, might erect a statue to him, for the same reasons that Sinclair media will be airing a memorial for him tonight on local stations nationwide: Because fuck you, that's why.

Just saw a clip of Bernie Sanders on Rogan and had a serious jump scare when the video switched to a view of Rogan. He looks older than Bernie!

"I prayed to my lord and savior, Charlie Ki...I mean Jesus Christ, and he said it was time."

I did not watch or listen to the game today, which means they won. I’m the problem, it’s me.

Eugenio Suarez finally breaks out of a MASSIVE slump by going 4-for-4 and the Mariners lose, snapping a ten game winning streak. Baseball is weird.

Well, I put my Mariners flag up on the house today and I listened to the game for the first time in a few weeks….and they lost. This one is one me, folks.

On step further, it is so crazy that all of this is being done for Donald Trump.

I don’t know what the “experts” are saying, but for me, this has been an INCREDIBLE year for music so far. Highlighted by… PUP The Beths Cheekface Clipse Deep Sea Diver Wet Leg McKinley Dixon Aminé Beach Bunny Momma Big Freedia Turnstile And lots and lots of others. I’m sure I’m missing something

Well that’s the cutest damn thing.

I just got two tickets to see the Bananas in Seattle this weekend. Game starts at 7:00. They make a big deal about how games are only two hours but check out how long you need to be there to actually get the full experience…
