Snooker is my primary escape form the horrors of the world today, but leftist political ramblings may still seem through here and there.
My main passions are Dogs, Snooker, Film Photography

I should note that I'm only really here because there are more official accounts and prominent personalities here than on mastodon or tumblr. Not expecting to post much.
Philip Glass is already one of my favorite composers, glad to see him doing this.

"Say His Name: Alex Pretti"
David Farrier's Webworm reports that Alex Pretti's gun never left its holster - before ICE agents removed it and killed him at point blank range.

I literally have a post in my Tumblr drafts about how hard it is to write anything about snooker right now because every time I start to draft something, we (the US) do a war crime, strip people of healthcare, or the feds murder someone. I'm so fucking tired y'all.

@wpbsa.bsky.social With all due respect to the players, why did we have commentary on table one at WSF with two relatively unknown players, while two former Women's World Champions were left on table 2 with nothing?

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Wild reading all the suggestions for the Grrenlake Community Center/pool redesign page saying space for kids is most important and that parks are for kids. How sad to not see value in parks and community spaces for adults.

Trump knew Rob Reiner's death wasn't political, the purpose of his tweet was to call for his supporters to kill. He didn't condemn the killing, but excused it. He's been waiting for an opponent to be killed to use it as a bat signal for MAGA to start killing prominent voices who oppose him.

More takes like this please. Pull that mask off all of the "Good Billionaires" and show everyone that not a single one has any understand of what life for working people is like. Every one of them is a parasite, no matter how much they pretend to care about the host.

What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?

I fucking love the shootout. I would not watch snooker if every match was like this, but as a one off before the holidays it is a perfect little extra spice on the tour.

This race had a "Dewey defeats Truman" moment when Election Desk HQ prematurely called the race for Mayor Bruce Harrell. One Reddit user made a parody.
That proved incorrect as Wilson closed an eight-point gap from earlier results.

Just stumbled upon Stan Moody's youtube channel. His video with Mary Talbot was great, mostly because of her. The cueball had more personality than Stan. Seems like a nice kid and is showing some good results this year, but boy, I sure hope he finds some personality soon.

The alternative, requiring "treatment" and abstinence enforced by piss tests as a condition of accessing and keeping housing, is a recipe for disaster for most people. Housing First isn't Housing Only, it's housing as a necessary but not sufficient condition for recovering stability.

Harrell says he's overseen a reduction in crime. Wilson notes that crime is approaching pre-pandemic levels, but violent crime is down much more in other cities that have created strategic, evidence-based frameworks in collaboration with community groups.
