How many Amendments in the Bill of Rights are under obvious assault by the Trump government? ✅ 1st ❌ 2nd ✅ 3rd ✅ 4th ❌ 5th ✅ 6th ❌ 7th ✅ 8th ❌ 9th ✅ 10th This list look right?

BREAKING: I am sick of hopecore clickbait that says MAGA is having a Civil War every two days. Stop rage farming critics of this government it is deeply annoying. Some “big names” in progressive journalism and podcasting are guilty of this.

Having nursed a grudge since 1984 I am now officially chill with the Padres. An excellent series well-played and a nail noting conclusion. #flythew

Hey @zachzaidman.bsky.social please let your boss know that I was genuinely disappointed that the MLB app radio feed cut out the Grounds Crew singing today at the 7th inning stretch. I know this is probably an MLB app issue but it made me sad.

He wanted power and money and really knew how to read a certain kind of room.

Sysco this is straight up “stranger danger” behavior.

I am coming to understand much of my media consumption habits over the last decade as unintentionally purposed for anesthetic effect. Feeling is hard.

Reminder that Nico is batting over .300 with runners in scoring position. Missing the strike 3 call and ejecting him in exactly that scenario is particularly egregious. #cubs

As a #cubs fan, I enjoyed losing that way to a team also playing their heart out. Lovely how evenly matched they were all evening. Congrats #tigers for the breaks going your way. Here’s hoping tomorrow is just as tense and fun. (This post partially brought to you by unquenched affection for Javy.)

Spoilers for “Wind and Truth” (But I’m not done reading it) (Prepare for a nonsense sentence if this isn’t your thing.) . . . . . . . . . Z . . . Is the golden pool under the Shattered Plains/Narak that Venli just found property of a FOURTH shard on Roshar?

I miss the early Game Changer vibes of very nice prizes, even as I acknowledge it's better now than it has ever been.

The Lonely Island went back in the recording studio during the 2023 writer’s strike. Brandon Sanderson wrote four “secret project” books during 2020 COVID isolation. If capitalism wasn’t so short-sighted, we might live in a world of planned sabbaticals for everyone.

The #cubs have been a bit mid for a week. The wait was worth it to see the look of joy on Nico Hoerner’s face as he rounded third realizing he was going to score the winning walkoff run on his birthday. Also congrats to Justin Turner for finally arriving as a Cub. #flythew #gocubsgo

So #financebros, the stock market just doesn’t believe the Chinese trade embargo is real, or what?

kids cheat at school because it's sold to them as a credentialing exercise necessary to get a job, and because most of the role models and adults in their life do not value education except in those terms

Following TTRPG creators and posting about baseball have been excellent mental health decisions. Having my robot lawnmower stop working wasn’t a choice, but it has been good for my physical health, too.💁🏼‍♂️

Just want to comment that even though they dropped two to the Giants, the #Cubs have played 35 of 38 games against teams that have winning records. No other club has played anywhere near that much stiff competition to date. Particularly not any of the other five teams in first.

My stomach dropped when Tucker bruised himself on a stolen base in the 9th inning. Imanaga injured is a bummer but no way would it be fair if the #cubs had two stars injured in one game.

One thing Ron Coomer would do is agree. #cubs #flythew

The #Cubs, have a .600 record. Pretty great! But the league-leading Mets have a .700 record. The Cubs are still better (so far) why? It’s in the “>.500” statistic. They’ve both played 30 games. How many games were versus winning teams? Mets: 10 games (7-3) Cubs: TWENTY NINE (17-12)

Abolish ICE and CBP. We need a new organization built from the ground up.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

#cubs fans: anyone listening to the Audio on the MLB app on a delay and experiencing random leaps forward in time of 2-3 minutes? Really disappointing @mlb.com

Unreal.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the entire DOGE enterprise has the competence and energy of a frat bro desperately using Chat GPT and Ctrl-F to finish a term paper at the last minute.

Bro did you even ask ChatGPT to explain "Arbeit macht frei", bro?

Spare a thought for Dodgers pitcher Noah Davis who threw exactly one pitch tonight so that Ian Happ could cap an amazing night with the walkoff RBI single. It was 10-10 in the bottom of the 10th at Wrigley, you knew it had to end in style. #cubs over #dodgers #flythew

I don’t wanna brag but I’ve seen footage of this kitchen from a different angle. #dropout @samreich.bsky.social

No idea if this question will find its target: I notice several Mormon authors using themes of physical deformities becoming perfect bodies. Tayler did it in his comic Schlock Merc. Sanderson does it a lot esp. in Stormlight. Is this a thing with culture/theology roots? @howardtayler.bsky.social

Out with the 9 yr old and saw something causing me to summon the #boardgame brain trust: What game could we install in playgrounds that isn’t as banal as tic-tac-toe? It needs to be both weather resistant and not have any loose pieces. Probably a two-player is easiest?

What the heck even was that ball game? The wind was blowing out but that was only a piece of the weird. #cubs

Chat is this bad?

Stop calling us “tyrants” or we’ll kidnap you and lock you up in an El Salvadoran prison

This story is all I know about Maine Governor Janet Mills but I can already tell that these multiple federal lawsuit attempts to humble are going to fail. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I love to see Ian Happ playing for the #cubs but he was also great in season 2 of The Wire.

<deep inhale> @chrislhayes.bsky.social I just read your bio and I know it’s not “the thing to do” to demand media personalities say stuff with their platform but can we TALK ABOUT THESE 2025 CHICAGO CUBS?! <slightly labored breathing commences after the run on sentence>

I’d like to express appreciation for whomever at #mlb puts the highlight reel together — they used a ton of Pat Hughes audio. 3 demerits for not including the game-saving catch by Matt Shaw, though. (I listen to most games rather than watch).

(cw: implied self-harm) His name was Max. He was a musician and a tattoo artist. He was not yet 24. His parents held his funeral today. He was buried under a name that he had left behind. Those in this small town who called him by his name were not invited. His name was Max.

We used to make C+C Music in this country, and we're going to do it again.

Same energy.

What is this feeling? Winning?! Small ball brilliance from the #cubs

Big ups to the person who snagged the “GOT TREE” vanity plate on the vehicle in front of me escorting tree-removal heavy equipment.

This is your regular reminder that the Kidz Bop version of High Hopes by Panic! at the Disco replaces the word “killing“ in “Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing.” This is basically how DOGE works.

Episode 1 of Game Changer season 7 had so many wild moments but Vic Michaelis saying “Walter Gorgins” in earnest multiple times had me losing my mind. Truly the most remote from following the rules.

People on our local FB comments about the #handsoff protest who say “why don’t they go do something good for the community instead of protesting?” are telling on themselves. These commenters need to believe there is nothing worth protesting. It bothers them that protests might spur change.

Of all the things to make me feel old, why was I affected so much by Ian Happ’s 1000th game? He’s that new kid on the team, right? #cubs
