I see they’re giving him the Horst Wessel treatment already, which frankly tracks.

The punchline being that no amount of documentation will be enough to keep our neo-SS from hauling any brown people away whenever they damn well please.

There’s nothing he can’t ruin.

Sometimes Saturday night has a lonely sound. Ever notice that?

Wow, actual RBI. Didn’t see that coming.

One of my theories is that TV really doesn’t even need play-by-plays, especially nowadays with graphics giving you so much information. It’s a medium for analysis. Conversely, I believe analysts are superfluous and possibly even detrimental on radio, which is much more of a medium for play-by-play description. I love listening to old Ernie/Paul broadcasts, where for the most part it’s just one guy talking during his innings. That way they could concentrate on keeping the listener apprised of what was happening instead of trying to maintain a conversation. It also allowed the broadcasts to breathe much more; during lulls in the action they’d lay back and just let you enjoy the sounds of the ballpark.

You’re not making the case you seem to think you’re making.

…I wouldn’t be a bit surprised.

Smoltz, I believe.

Sorry, you guys. I literally just tuned in and I obviously jinxed things. ****.

It’s COVID redux. News is making the King look bad? Nothing for it but to kill the messenger.

I’ve had passive s*******l ideations, off and on, for decades. Typically they come maybe 2-3 times a year, and subside after a day or two. Now they’re here for a big chunk of the day, every day. Still passive, which in some ways makes it worse because I can’t even imagine doing anything to relieve the misery. I know we’re supposed to think of ourselves as responsible for our own mental health, but I’m 100% blaming Pig-King and the ghouls backing him for my current state. I just am.

Working the late shift again.

Could somebody explain to me why the Mariners’ radio broadcast sounds like they’re at the ballpark while ours sounds like they’re in a studio? Bring up that crowd mic, WXYT!

Sad news about Jenks. 44 is a hideously young age to die.

If you aren’t the full package of white, male, Christian, cishet, ablebodied, neurotypical, wealthy, *and* 100% MAGA-loyal and compliant, you are completely and utterly expendable to the current US regime. They’ll use you if they are able, for their own benefit or to weaponize you against other Others, and if/when they can’t they’ll feed you to the gators, literally or metaphorically, without blinking. Don’t kid yourself that they won’t.

Literally holding the House hostage for hours in the dead of night on a procedural vote. Mike Johnson is, as Hawkeye once described Frank Burns, a hermaphroditic weasel.

If I leave the house at all this weekend, which isn't likely, I'll be sporting a black armband. Say "hi" if you see me.
