Hello to all the new people. 👋

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · Jul 3

People listing their favorite teams again. /takes a deep breath/ ok here we go: I watch mlb but don’t have any favorite teams. I just watch whatever game seems good, has players I like, and I root for no one. I don’t care who wins it loses (seriously). I love chaos, and ✨might be good at jinxing✨

Definitely. There was an educational component I liked too. But I like the current ones too. Still good.

I still like it, but it's pretty different

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · 3h

This is not a criticism btw. I liked the old seasons and I like the new ones.

at long last, @lookoutlanding.bsky.social has written the article I've been low-key dying for: humpy, and the self-awareness of the modern mariners www.lookoutlanding.com/editorial/13...

Humpy and the Seattle Mariners Salmon Run their way into the ALCS

What separates the underdog from the loser? The eventual victory.

That moment when the sauce spills out and runs down the flutes is so sexy it should be illegal

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

I've seen some of those. Sometimes I just search him on YouTube and watch clips.

I'd love to see Vancouver get a team

They are very cool. And I liked watching them bake together. They did have good chemistry.

Have you seen his explanation for it? Bless his heart. He had flight issues and hadn't slept for 36 hours. And he had caffeine to try to stay awake after abstaining for five years! He says he doesn't even remember most of the show. Bad for him, but amazing tv lol

If you're a big fan of the show it is cool to go back and watch the Mary Berry seasons. I watched them on Roku channel for free. They have episodes where Paul and Mary bake together and show how to make the technicals properly. Very interesting.

😬 Hope he doesn't try to do a Kirk Gibson

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · 4h

Which is fine. I think people want to see the finished product look good, apart from the occasional disaster, the show works best when they can do interesting things

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · 4h

I think they are given training before the show now. A couple contestants in the later series talked about not completing the pre-work and wishing they had.

It's a lot more intense and the educational component, which I enjoyed, is gone now

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · 4h

I do! I have it in my queue to start watching after I finish the most recent season on Netflix.

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · 4h

True

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · 4h

Oof. I hope he doesn't push it too much and do something he will regret

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · 5h

Yes, I did just rewatch the entire series before starting the new one. There are…differences.

I hope he isn't pushing it to try to get back before he is healed. I imagine it would be human nature to do so.
