The only upside of this game is @mikestandish.bsky.social explaining to our 5 year old what getting “destroyed” means

Yeah, at this point maybe it's better to leave Kirby in there to figure it out

@ahandleforian.bsky.social I keep telling you this and I’m worried you’re not taking me seriously

However, please do include people saying goodbye before ending a phone call. Just hanging up suddenly is bizarre and distracting

The process of preparing emotionally and mentally to watch a baseball game has begun!

Anyway, go Cristian Roldan. Go Mariners. Anyone who doesn’t like these wonderful humans can get bent.

The smug smile on his face. It’s infuriating.

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

It’s an extra expensive ticket

Mike Standish @mikestandish.bsky.social · 1d

Friend: Want to go to game 3? We’ve got an extra.
Me: Sure!
Friend: There’s only one catch … it’s $440.

The “Oops, protein powder is full of lead” thing would explain so much.

The dems are so hilariously out of touch and unserious

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

While simultaneously gutting the league budget for content creators/writers. A brilliant strategy!

This Mariners team lacks many qualities of traditional Mariner teams. Things like ennui, hauntedness, self-loathing, gnawing doubt, obliviousness. They have none of those yet they are finding ways to win.
