Some fresh potted Coliseum iceplant starts for the office.

Spring Training confessions: I still don't know Colby Thomas from Cody Thomas.

Yes, that's me that bought the Tommy Pham ball on eBay. Sorry to beat y'all to celebrating MLB's favorite grumperstar. May another one come along for ya.

The jokes write themselves.

The #GoKingsGo are reportedly trading veteran forward Corey Perry back to the #GoBolts. The return is a 2nd-round draft pick. Other news here: offsidenewsco.com

WBC. Tokyo Dome. Bases loaded. Ohtani at the plate. Did you really think anything else was gonna happen?! 🙃😂 #BoothViews with Jose Mota for Shohei’s WBC slam in Samurai Japan’s rout of Chinese Taipei. #WorldBaseballClassic  #大谷翔平

There are entirely too many different places to be at once if you are a creative person who wants people to see your stuff. I'm glad there's options, but it def feels like sixteen of the same thing, and [ATHF "The Wwwyzzrd" voice] YOU MUST. HAVE TO HAVE. ALL SIXTEEN.

I'm on day 7 of a new diet and I'm either going to climb a mountain and sprint back down, or I'm going to crumple under a table and cry if I hear someone eating chips. They don't even have to be good chips.

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

Legend. And also, every day the Giants aren't back in this exact set is a crime.

Dang ok Bux, I kinda had a “Best of Sorrell Booke” thing planned for today, but with this vote of confidence, I feel like I can do anything

Cool new statue, Texas Rangers! Don't worry, no one will go to the Wikipedia page for it to see why it's not at the airport anymore. www.mlb.com/news/rangers...

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Looks like we have a new fren! Fox on the roof! 🦊

MN Wild player Jon Merrill’s charity org released a statement 💕

If you have time to read only one news article about tonight's state of the union before the speech, I think this piece by Glenn Kessler should be it: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Here’s a thing I’m trying out. I repackaged a bunch of junk wax cards (stars mixed in), slapped labels on, and am putting them in my little free library. Since trinket boxes are a thing around here, we can do a bit of that too. And if I don’t have wrappers strewn all over my yard I’ll do more. 🤩

These are just pure joy.

I don't know who my primary choices are yet, but pretty much this. (Love Pete, like Pritzker, don't entirely get the hate for Gavin but I'm a PoliSci guy so I recognize the pre-prez run shift he's doing)

they're making a separate bluesky for people who put utensils in the dishwasher basket the wrong way

Ketchup or ranch, but yes.

When they discontinued the “sliced franks” variety of Spaghetti O’s, I hit every store in town and bought every can they had. And that’s not the exaggeration you’d assume it might be.

Going thru a streak of trying to get too cute on Immaculate Grid and failing.

*taps mic* I say it every time we do this. The Olympics and the Paralympics should be one gathering, occurring simultaneously.

All of this, but also - why is curling on literally every time I tune in? And I'm encountering a lot of "this isn't showing what it said it would at this time" issues. www.sfgate.com/olympics/art...

You'll be pleased to know the updated status of my in-progress second painting is that my brutalism-inspired hockey dude no longer looks like the Handsome Squidward meme

Something that drives me absolutely nuts about startup leagues is the ones who doom themselves from the start by trying to launch without the capital to do it right. If you can't afford NECESSARY STAFFING you shouldn't launch - you're DAMAGING the chances of a legit women's lg ever happening.

I can't believe the #Athletics are gonna run with this pitching staff. Something HAS to be in the works. Giolito?

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

🤩

So, when Kel and I started dating (Jan 00) she worked at Carls Jr + their toys for months were Cow & Chicken. Never watched the show and I HAVE NO IDEA if those toys were why, but *a* nickname for her since super early in our time together has been ‘cow.’ That is all I have to share on C&C.

I did encounter a gentleman, with all his might, shout-singing Creed's "One Last Breath" while walking briskly across the mall parking lot some weeks back. A bit flat, but impressive breath control. 😂

Terrifying. But someone is 100% gonna recognize those eyes and know who this guy is.

Quick look at Burgos. #Athletics www.instagram.com/reels/DL2iyX...

Perfect

The Boston Red Sox finally get their third baseman: They acquire Caleb Durbin from the Milwaukee Brewers for starter Kyle Harrison, infielder David Hamilton and lefty Shane Drohan. Harrison was a big piece in the Rafael Devers trade last summer.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Aww.

Trying to be a good hub and pick up Mediterranean dinner for Kel after a hard day is a GOOD thing. Why am I being punished with Amy Grant while I wait?

So like a third of a pound per person?

Let’s see if I can paint!

Not exactly a windfall return for the #NYR in the Panarin trade. Here’s the prospect they received, Liam Greentree last year in the playoffs for Windsor. Definitely looks like he can shoot the puck.

NICE. I love Greentree and was really looking forward to what he'd become for the Kings, but this is an awesome pickup. #GKG #LAKings www.thescore.com/nhl/news/343...

Is there anything worse than being part of a group whose members repeatedly just talk *around* you? 😖
