Silly jokes and politics and baseball ⚾ (Orioles and Mariners) and football 🏈 (Ravens and Seahawks) and romance novels and oversharing/anxiety. Left, but not as far left as you want me to be.

Every cishet man should be required to read at least three (3) romance novels.
I'm confident that a bunch of them would secretly love it because I saw how the football podcast men talked about Taylor and Travis. ("What if he proposed at the Superb*wl wouldn't that be great?" Adorbs)

Ah Seahawks, I see the offensive line is on the fritz today

The Bears are the other side of that coin: a strong o line makes up for pseudo-rookie mistakes and enables all sorts of chaos.
Sure would be nice to have a strong o line

This is yet another example showing that teams that don't invest in their offensive line are going to struggle, no matter how good your QB is

... if we really want people to be held accountable this time, we will be fighting against the media, against billionaires, against big business, against the consultant class, against D leadership, against practically the entire apparatus of US politics. The architecture is *built for impunity*.

I do not like those all purple unis and front views of birds never look cool.
The Ravens lost because they wore ugly clothes

"denaturalize" and "non-compatible with Western Civilization" are some very scary pieces of this, I hate it
With ALT. This is legitimately terrifying. This is a MASSIVE escalation of violent anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies.
It’s almost as if they knew unleashing the military into American cities would lead to violence and they were already planning to use that violence to justify this.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

This is cute! Happy Thanksgiving (eve)!
OK - pie discourse - best pie story:
In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*
The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

When I was a child my grandparents were visiting after some holiday and my grandfather decided to have pie for breakfast, but my little brother (4 at the time) was like "wait, why do YOU get to have dessert for breakfast?"
And Grandpa was like "valid point" and scooped him some ice cream at 7:30 am
And Grandpa was like "valid point" and scooped him some ice cream at 7:30 am
So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.
3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

So what you're saying is that, scientifically speaking, cheetahs are friend shaped
Technically speaking, cheetahs aren't big cats, despite their size. Big cats all belong to the genus Panthera & can roar. Cheetahs are classified in the Acinonyx genus & have small-cat anatomy, notably in their larynx. They can't roar, but can purr, meow, chirrup & make sounds like house cats.

He was so good for them! Happy to see this! And it means we should get a Corbin Burnes - James McCann reunion
(I still think Burnes suggested him when the dbacks were in the market for a backup catcher)
