The President is not legitimate.
His orders are not legitimate (on top of being unconstitutional).
Those who follow and/or enforce his orders are the enemies of the United States of America.

He avoids the hbp that would’ve tied it, then swings at ball four that would’ve tied it. Quality ab right there.

Just replayed that play for my son and I think I broke his brain.

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 12h

I think, on reflection, he was arguing because what else can he do there?

Dodgers fans are gonna have the most incorrect complaint ever tonight. This was 100% the correct call. Baseball is amazing.

I guess, but yeah. In the absence of an out call, it’s a live ball.

I don’t even get what Roberts was arguing.

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 13h

That’s the craziest play I’ve ever seen.

Do you like Italian food in general?

I distinctly remember turning off the tv in disgust after eight innings.

Personally, if I were overly concerned about getting into heaven, I wouldn't spend the first 79 years of my life being a malevolent asshole.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

I can remember scribbling down instructions for how to get to my friend's college apartment two hours from where I went to school.

"Second light after 7-Eleven turn right... But there's two 7-Elevens, keep going past the first. There's a McDonald's next to an Exxon, take the second left..."

I genuinely don't know how one gets through life without Parmesan cheese.

"I'm merely Speaker of the House of Representatives and second in line to the Presidency. You expect me to be aware of or have opinions on what the government is doing?"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23h

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Bruno Sammartino.

It should go without saying, but any cop who threatens to quit if the results of an upcoming election don't go his way is a cop you should *want* to quit.

southpaw @nycsouthpaw.bsky.social · 22h

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Wait. This person has a New York Giants tight end featured on his Italian Heritage Day sign and it's not Mark Bavaro?

“She’s a bad journalist with no relevant experience in overseeing a national news organization” isn’t hysteria. It’s a statement of fact.

Literally, I just typed the word “hi,” and predictive text on my phone delivered “it was nice to meet you.”

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 2d

We need fewer stories about the “male loneliness epidemic” and more about why men need to evaporate a small lake to come up with “hi, it was nice to meet you.”

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

You were the one denying their being in the Series would be new or different.

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 2d

They last appeared in a World Series in 1982. Sorry that’s not different enough for you.

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 2d

Who would want to see something new and different when we could have the Dodgers for the fifth time in nine seasons?

S.J. Moomaw @aboutamoo.bsky.social · 2d

Brewers/Mariners or Brewers/Jays would be a fine World Series. Dodgers/anyone would be tired.
