I spent a lot of January and February Sundays with my kid at Edinborough.

Mets mindset

As a resident of Edina, I’m getting really tired of having to apologize for my fellow residents of said ‘burb.

Yeah, this mess is 100% on Stearns, but I don’t think he’s getting fired.

The #Mets had two 7-game and one 8-game losing streak last season, and they're starting this season with a 9-game losing streak. I don't think Carlos Mendoza is entirely to blame, but somebody's going to have to take the fall.

Who goes to the pen...Senga or Peterson?

Haven’t followed him for years but I did enjoy The Bad Guys Won…and I’m a Mets fan.

I do one pass with the grain, one pass against, hot water rinse, cold water rinse, aftershave/balm.

Gen Z is terrified of the AI revolution. Nobody's preparing them for it They should be the biggest cheerleaders and beneficiaries of AI.

Axios is freaking out about the kids hating AI but doesn't spend too much time examining why that may be www.axios.com/2026/04/16/a...

I love Pavement but would never in a million years compare them to The Beatles.

With Troy it seems there’s more disdain for lousy QB play than for the modern game.

Exactly!

The funny thing is, I find Smoltz annoying but kind of enjoy listening to Aikman.

Really enjoyed speaking with @cvdall.bsky.social for @cidrap.bsky.social News about our research on how to effectively communicate the risks of antimicrobial resistance, and why drawing comparisons to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may miss the mark!

How do these people even get out of bed in the morning if they're so terrified of the place where they live?

Online survey findings highlight the challenge of effectively communicating the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to the public and explaining how unnecessary antibiotic use makes the problem worse.

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

The Mets need to get Soto back and then pull their heads out of their collective asses.

It's really good, and Harbour and Bateman (and the entire cast) are fantastic. I'd give Patriot the slight edge simply because the storyline in Patriot is so absurd and creative.

This is incredible.

It’s not good, Norm.
