I’m currently reading @tompeyer.bsky.social’s run of Hourman, the Final Night event (I missed this event when it first came out), and DC’s KO on the DC Infinite Ultra app.

Jack Davis art! Primo lunchbox!

Dave was really special. His enthusiasm kept the fans excited through decades where the team did nothing.

The great Mariners broadcaster Dave Neihaus, honored posthumously with a statue in the ballpark that references his grand slam call: “Get out the rye bread and mustard, Grandma, It’s grand salami time!”

Chester Gould was a capital-A Artiste, and this movie recognized that.

Bit of a crisis when we got a President younger than me. Thanks, Obama!

Watching Thiel hold multiple hour lectures in which he tries and fails to weave together the incoherent bullshit someone has fed him to make him feel like a savior so he’ll donate millions to their projects is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen. Truly, truly pathetic.

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 2d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

Shocking new footage proves that they resumed the football game that Bane blew up after he made his big speech. This is from the second quarter.

CJ Fogler @cjzero.bsky.social · 3d

Love the "excuse our mess, we're still open!" backdrop for the FG

Mizzou lining up a FG, the backdrop is an under construction section of the entire end of the stadium including orange hurricane fencing and a bare concrete wall

And the Tigers are now out of it, if I wasn’t clear. This was one discrete playoff series and the needed four wins for the Mariners might come in the next round.

God I loved that game. The pain, the suffering, the absolute drag, the self inflicted punches to the face. The feeling of relief when it's finally over.

The truest form of baseball.

The Seattle Mariners have never been in the World Series but now they’re four wins away from it after a grueling playoff game vs. the Detroit Tigers that went 15 suspenseful innings

I remember loving it when Arod got a walk-off homer in the 15th and, years later, hating the imposition of the ghost runner. So I’ll take this.

Tom Peyer @tompeyer.bsky.social · 3d

I lived in Seattle long enough to want them to win. And to want beer. Although I didn’t have to live there to want beer.

Tom Peyer @tompeyer.bsky.social · 3d

Top of the 14th. When did they stop serving beer? I would be out of there.

Real talk: Postseason baseball is much more fun and enjoyable when your team isn't playing.

@tompeyer.bsky.social should have won the Peace Prize for wishing @themightylayman.bsky.social a happy birthday.

Aaron Judge should get the Peace Prize. That three-run homer changed Game 3.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
