When covid and work-from-home hit, I made it a point to mostly give up streaming and go back and listen to *all* my CDs and rediscovered so much. Now, for the last couple of months I put a turntable in my office and doing the same with vinyl. Also fun & it makes me get out of the chair more often.
My various feeds are filled with posts from libraries, pet shelters, rec centers, and regular old people about services they are preparing to offer when SNAP runs out.

It’s inspiring that there are good people out there who care and want to help.

It’s infuriating that our “leaders” are useless.
That would track with how they do it for golf broadcasts.
👏 👏 👏 for the reference and phonetic spelling.
Coming soon on The Hallmark Channel. "They stole each other's hearts, then they stole the cash. It's "Pretty Larceny."
Looooove so many things I’ve got to tell you.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
I think it all goes back to the need for everything in media to be a hot take about what is going to happen next rather than reporting on and explaining to people what happened. See also, political coverage.
Can we start one of those change dot org petitions started to have Geddy Lee replace Smoltz in the booth before Friday?

“OH NO! NO WAY! OH MY GOD! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!”

Davis Schneider’s dad posted a video of the leadoff home run from his point of view
“Look at all these celebrities enjoying their time at the World Series!!!!”

“Who’s that one that looks like they just found out their dog died and they need a root canal?”

“Oh, him? That’s the baseball commissioner.”

MLB: It’s Fantastic!!!!!
“Mr. Kruse, isn’t it true that during the debate you referred to BBQ as being largely dependent on the brown sugar in the rub while we all know that BBQ should be covered in a thick sauce and accompanied by cole slaw? What do you have to say for yourself?!?!?”
About a half-step away from a Black Mirror episode out there. Be careful on those walks. 😬
I hate that trend so much. It brings nothing to the viewing experience.
My feed. Asked and answered. 🙃
Excellent news. Looking forward to it and have enjoyed the journey thus far.
If someone had to do it, i suppose im glad it was freddie

The next 9 innings they have to run the bases the opposite direction.
Dodgers fans aren’t real fans. They always leave in the 15th inning to beat the traffic.
His powers only unlock in double-digit innings.
I think they’ve run out of real commercials and are now making up fake Fox shows to promote.
Looking forward to the bottom of the 15th when the Dodgers have the bases loaded,
Shohei comes to bat, and hits into a triple play.
Today is the day Baseball Bluesky becomes a real boy.
