Prophylaxis is praxis.

Why are some still spreading misinfo that "masks only work when everyone wears one," & use it as an excuse not to mask as "no-one else is."

It isn't all or nothing. While it's safer when more mask because there's less virus in the air, a well-fitting mask protects you even if no-one else masks.

I only have a few days left to find my inflatable murrain costume for the No Kings demo.
Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Going full Riefenstahl wasn’t enough?

He probably fell asleep during daddy’s home movie night screening of “TRIUMPH of the Will” and missed Time’s allusion.

In the 1980s, when NBC got the World Series alternate years, he did TV with Joe Garagiola… and I feel like around the same time, he might have had a national radio deal some years.

Vin used to do national game of the week casts for a while, and football and golf, too, but again that was 70s-80s.

Except they both would have been sitting at home because MLB sold the exclusive broadcast rights to the channel that used to do basketball.

Yeah, I mean, winning is sooo much better than losing, but I am dying a little with every pitch.

I’d like to end more games with a “yeah, baby!” & fewer with “thank fucking god!” #NLCS

Damn how I wish I weren’t blacked out of the local coverage, @mlb.com. These national parachute reporters are not going to calm my nerves.

All of the sudden, the strike zone has grown by three inches. #NLCS

We interrupt this NLCS excitement in the middle of an inning to show you an ad for a company you’ve never heard of that makes drugs for diseases you pray you never get.

Good times.

I like Teo a lot, but much of this year, he’s played like he shouldn’t have had that second gummy.

Snell gives a big middle finger to the top of the 4th in the bottom of the 4th.

I guess the left field ump standing in the middle of nowhere is waving safe. Not sure any player on the field saw or heard it.

Apparently, the great 3rd base coach Dino Ebel saw it and was telling Teo to run, but someone else was telling Smith to get back.
