retvrn to mystery stories based around the actual mystery and not whether the detective is sad and/or wet

Do the Reds know Geno is still out there? Sure would like to see him at DH/1B/3B for like 150 games. Wouldn’t complain at all.

One of the best exchanges I’ve ever seen on social media was when Lt. Cmndr Data and Bert the Chimney Sweep got into a rumble over Angela Lansbury.

Is anyone is looking for reliable scientific reporting and doesn’t know where to find it, Scientific American is still absolutely impeccable for both vaccine science and, you know, wonder at the universe. www.scientificamerican.com

Scientists recently combined the DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. Things went sideways real fast.

The batting cage got its first test today and it passed with flying colors. Pretty fun. And now the boy can hit whenever he wants. I pleased with myself.

Getting to see Booker T and the MG’s live was one of the coolest things I’ve seen. They were all old, but they still had it. RIP Steve Cropper.

Hey, Reds people. Stop being so joyless. Nothing has happened until it’s happened. There’s enough doom and gloom. Let some joy and hope into your hearts.

Well, we will be experimenting with it to iron out the kinks, but I’m pretty sure I’ve turned my carport into a carport that can easily convert into a batting cage.

"We've suffered a little bit of an identity crisis in that a lot of people don't necessarily know Rawlings is here in St. Louis. But that's going to change pretty quick. Everybody's going to know." — Rawlings CMO Mike Thompson

I invite any MLB owner to open their books and show the public how much money their teams lost in 2025. They won’t, because it’s a lie. No team has EVER sold for less than it was purchased for. Do not fall for crocodile tears from billionaires who are already getting a Trump tax cut!

Good old Woz. Good for him.

Really loving how every week there’s a study saying AI makes you stupid all while everyone in education is told it’s the future and we should embrace it.

"And I guess that’s why I hate AI in the classroom as much as I do. Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection."

wrote an article for @thebookseller.com outlining to the industry why small presses are the lifeforce & future of book production. Pls share esp w people who may not know what small press publishers do! www.thebookseller.com/comment/dont...

Anyone wanna help an underfunded high school baseball team raise some money?

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It's that time of year again.... this is your reminder to go unhook the hose from the house to lessen the chances your pipes freeze and explode and cause a lot of problems you don't wanna pay for.

This is great. Now we just need a hundred other Dem politicians to speak this bluntly.

I think it’s important to remember that a lot of American universities have been collaborators for ever. That’s what legacy admissions are. It’s bowing to power.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

Looking at election results from around the country last night and wondering if X is a safe space echo chamber that makes its users out of touch with real Americans

Just to be clear. I live in KY where we have a Democrat for government who has vetoed every piece of anti-trans legislation he’s gotten and has never thrown trans folks under the bus. Going after marginalized groups to try to win is loser energy.

here ya go

a lot of people are quoting this and saying things like “standing up for trans rights is a winning political strategy” and while I agree with this, win or lose standing up for trans rights is important - no, vital - because it’s the right thing to do.

I am not seeing any bad election news this morning. At all. I love it.

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006. They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents. The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Well, this is a good night for elections.

God. This does not seem good. (Non-Louisville folks, I am fine, we are sheltered in place 6 or so miles away from the airport.)

Rogers Hornsby: People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. Rogers Hornsby's Therapist: Let's unpack that, Roger. Rogers Hornsby: It's "Rogers"

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Once again, @mcsweeneys.net does not miss. ------------------------------------------------ "In 2004, you saw some college guy using me and thought, 'What a lazy cheater.' Now you’d think, 'At least he’s not asking Gemini.' In a few years, you’ll say, 'Wow, look, a human being who can read.'"

I would sincerely like for my colleagues to read this

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

I just read a student paper that was insightful & distinct but grammatically clumsy (a ton of sentences with coordinating conjunctions). my first thought was, “I can help them with this. no big deal.” grammar matters but if you grade for grammar I think you’re missing the point.

The Columbus Dispatch ran a "what you can and cannot do while protesting article" and listed "Refusing to provide information or providing false information when stopped is illegal." Folks, I assure you, the Fifth Amendment still exists and you still have the right to remain silent.

The for-profit education industry is a scam. It is always a scam. If a company is trying to make money of off the education of children, they are scamming you.

Friendly reminder that Tidal ($10.99) is now cheaper than Spotify ($11.99), delivers better audio quality, pays its artists 2x as much, and generally doesn't allow AI slop. You can move your entire music library over in a matter of minutes.
