On the power of Humpy

From the linked article: “In the middle of the 15th inning, having already performed the second seventh-inning stretch, they re-run the salmon race. There's always one mascot that never wins. They let him win. It's like the opposite of sacrifice, a redemption without sin. More than that: It was a rejection of the chaos of baseball, a declaration that things can be scripted, that they can work out.They worked out. It was not because of Humpy, but you can believe it was if you want. Art lets you write the stories you want.”

This is the way to ‘recap’ a game during which time lost all meaning:

Now and/or Never: A Baseball Game, in Splinters | Baseball Prospectus

A game like this doesn't get a normal recap.

I'll be hating the Yankees until the day I die and when they lower me into grave I'll get back to hating them from the fucking sky this hate is the gift given to me from my forefathers and I wear it every single day with Pride

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The first excerpt from our forthcoming book edited by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, Read This When Things Fall Apart, is a letter by Aaron Goggans about how fascism warps consensus reality—and how organizers can learn how to live well outside of it, without letting conflict and trauma rip them apart.

During Mayor Bruce Harrell's term, visible homelessness downtown has declined as people have been pushed outside the central business district, but unsheltered homelessness has grown. Meanwhile, the city deliberately kept available hotel rooms empty: www.propublica.org/article/seat...

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.

Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

I’m still riding high from last night. My first playoff game, incredible stadium energy, and then to get the W (against Skubal!) was just so cool. Very grateful I got to be there.
