Watching a team that understands basic fielding and which also has a batting order that makes fundamental sense is refreshing. #mariners #gocubs

Fish and chips from Ivar’s served in a novelty plastic container shaped like the Washington state ferry. The aft and stern are little divers for takeaway tartar sauce containers. There is a blurry ballpark in the background.

New York Times headline and byline Iran's Military Says It Has Reimposed 'Strict Control' of Strait of Hormuz The military said it would tighten its grip on the waterway until the U.S. ended its blockade of Iranian ports, adding to the uncertainty over the strait.

Who feels “uncertain” about how how any of this war is going?

@minakimes.bsky.social absolutely dominating @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social. This is a win for Bluesky, the app for sports.

Nice travel bonus to see @andyrichter.co @andyrichter.bsky.social and @minakimes.bsky.social on @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social and I can watch it the way God intended (on a hotel TV because nothing else is on).

Never forgive them for the years of progress they stole from all of us.

this is a rough losing streak but i encourage mets fans to take heart and learn to imitate the comparatively ebullient and positive-thinking fanbase of the chicago cubs

East coaster at a West Coast Amtrak station. It seems like nobody else on line taken a train in the past 20 years, most never at all. It feels like we are on line at Disney World more than a mediocre if large (two stories!) train to Seattle. I wish I still had their wonder.

no better time for the Chicago Cubs to trade Matt Shaw to the Colorado Rockies, I keep hearing

Can’t wait until somebody says “papists” (derogatory) on TV.

Our God likes it when we kill people in other countries is not the flex you think it is

Absolute perfection from @colsonwhitehead.com.

This skeet sort of sounds like it’s about the Arts.

Taxi to my hotel in Portland and my driver complained that he had no fares (last was 4 hours ago), that my fare was not far enough to make him money, and that Uber and Lyft are taking away all of his business. I tipped a little better than I would have otherwise but at some point shouldn’t he quit?

Can I see it?

Disaster! Chun Hwa deli at Bridgeport station is “suspended” for nonpayment of taxes. So I can’t* get a sandwich until Newark!

*Café car doesn’t count, I won’t eat that disappointing garbage.

"what do you want them to doooooo?"

shit like this. all the time. flood them with it. make them defend it, shoot it down, then float more. drown them in their own shit.

We used to be a proper continent.

Today is a good day to trade Matt Shaw!

Bad headline, great article.

“Silicon Valley is in the business of mediation. It wants to insert its products as directly as possible between us and the outside world.”

Happy anniversary, @thatbilloakley.bsky.social

Quality “Fuck Matt Shaw” content today. Bluesky, the app for sports, has the juice! 🧃 🐻⚾️

The day Matt Shaw is off the Cubs will be a day of jubilant celebration. Surely there is someone in Des Moines that can actually play RF and hit better.
