Heck of a sports weekend and I saw about 20% of it due to blackouts and being busier than a one-armed paper hanger in a windstorm. No jumping out a window for now.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a [Tiger's] boot stamping on a [Twins] face—forever. -- Inner Party Leader O'Brien 1984

I spent the entire game time doing a picture day for my softball league. A lot of interacting with people for this introvert. After the picture day, I had a pitching clinic with my daughter and by the time that was done I was losing my mind over how this game went. I saw we hadn't gotten a run since the 6th. The Jace Jung plays were like the Sweeney play from last night. Parker Meadows again! Mein Gott in Himmel!

And we don't even have our semi-elite RP from the last few years Alex Lange because RPs are weird like that. [edit; seeing he was lost for the season, but he was struggling even before that]

Almost

Yeah, and since Harris is a POC and woman (notable she's not running on either) that will be a different electorate. You can be assured that the people who hated Trump before January 6 will continue to oppose him. That locks in a lot of very motivated voters. Having a better brand at the top of the ticket improves the energy of the base. I think we are going to blow the Trumpists' doors off but there will be shenanigans.

Listening to Trump surrogates and anti-anti-Trump people say: "How dare you accuse us of being against Democracy, you are causing all the violence!" Not having that. Its bovine scatology and doublethink.

any baseball game that gets past the 10th inning is an immediate watch.

Yeah, Human civilization was progressed a lot by those scientists when we landed on the Moon. I realize the Peenamunde site was using slave labor to build the V2, but we definitely benefited massively from them.

Fairfax County government. center was pretty lively. Happy to have done this critical civic deed today.

Motivated today!

Mark Robinson is biblical justice because he represents the sort of dog-ate-my-homework levels of half-assed governing that lead to the public health emergency in 2020. But, because Trump needed to stay out of jail he needed a good...lets see...what would be good for NC candidate, yeah a Black because there are a lot of those in NC. And JD Whatshisname gets him that Peter Thiel money so, yeah.. And RFK jr, has all those Kennedy votes so lets let him run the health agencies whichever it doesn't matter he's the one hung up on vaccines. Who cares, rich people can get all the vaccines they need. The proles will vote for whatever we say...

i'll be in line later today.

Nuzzi as an operative for Trump...not shocked

This is fish-in-a-barrel stuff

Tim Walz: "these people are weird" I mean, if he's into trans porn...whatever. Its the closeted psycho behavior over it that gets you in trouble.

welp...you can see why they wanted this guy out of the race.

Come on Guardians... 2-1 twins is unacceptable.
