This and add in tv ratings for the Olympics.

The city has determined that I meet the minimum qualifications to work as a parks and rec sports official.

My dreams really are coming true.

Oh no.

Well…

Probably can’t do worse than AJ Jenkins.

I am OUTRAGED to hear rumors that Justin Bieber will headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

A CANADIAN performing at halftime of AMERICA’S BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT?!?!?

He’ll probably sing in Canadian! Can Bieber even speak American?

Counsell: MLB rule in place for Ohtani, Dodgers 'bizarre' Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell thinks that a Major League Baseball rule that allows the Los Angeles Dodgers to carry 14 pitchers because of Shohei Ohtani is "bizarre," adding that the defending N...

If he’s mad, it seems the Dodgers could just call Ohtani a position player and then still have him pitch. Seems position players pitch fairly often. What’s his solution? Not let Shohei hit? Not let him pitch? Limiting pitchers is weird but what else can you do?

LOL.

This baby is 17 today.

Very pleased with our softball win tonight. We played a man down for half the game but played with sound fundamentals.

I had a pretty neat catch in RF.

Me to co-worker:

-Is it OK for a man my age to have 25% of his wardrobe from the Nintendo store.

Co-Worker: You gotta be you.

a rugby player with the number 15 on his jersey Alt: a rugby player with the number 15 on his jersey being given a red card by a referee

So, the pope is literally infallible. Like a rugby ref under law 6.a

I hope Vance wasn’t a rugby player. He’d get a card so fast.

The thing leftists don’t get is that when their candidates fail to win primaries there isn’t some “Democratic establishment” preventing their favorite from winning. It’s the primary voters who vote for the nominees.

Every Dr. I see: Do you exercise regularly?

Me: Not really. I lift twice/week and run 4-8 miles on Saturdays.

Dr.: You know, a 30 minute walk each day…

Me: Oh. I walk a mile to/from the train each day. I didn’t realize that could be called exercise.

Wife: Your standards are too high

Point of order: all that matters is turning out the vote. Hungary just proved this.

Political actions that matter: doing whatever we can to motivate people to vote.

—We will get distracted, so repeatedly bringing our focus back to this objective, is key.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Library asked 11y/o to tell us to please stop calling the library to see if 11y/o is there.

Kid gets a cell phone next year so that will help.

But I also love that my kid is at the library so much they all know the kid.

Been there

The 3 episode run of cold opens that @harvilla.bsky.social had covering Paramour, Kelis & White Stripes is among the greatest music journalism ever produced. Please check out 60 Songs that Explain the 90s: The 2000s

I have encountered so many posts today that I’d really love to Like or repost or both, but they don’t have alt text on images and are therefore inaccessible and I’m therefore “stuck” not engaging with them in a positive way. That is a bummer.

Sorry, the Valks traded the 8 pick for basically two second rounders and the GM couldn’t readily explain why?

What the heck?

Sean Connery explaining the Chicago way.

"He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send him Matthew 5:9. That's the Chicago Pope way."

I just had a parent pull a 5-year-old out of our youth soccer league because he's "on a team with all girls" (there are 2 other boys) and his jersey color is pink, and "that's unfair and he's an emotional mess."

Parents, you simply have to be better lol what an insane thing to do.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign.

Pass it on.

They did end up playing animal trivia.

-I don’t know how to play trivia
—It’s just answering questions
-Oh

Lots of talk about AO3.

They are sharing stories of their first hyper fixations

So far the snacks have accounted for everyone’s sensory and dietary issues though they all keep yelling, “Red 30!” whenever they grab a bag of Doritos

I love these trans, neurodiverse birthday parties.

-Are we going to play a game or something?
—No. This is just a sit around talking party.

-I do have one cis-het male friend. He’s OK.
—Ooh. We should get a cis-het, male, white friend too.

You may be able to throw out Jose Reyes at this point.
