Investigated … for doing her job.

The impeachable offenses keep stacking like firewood.

“President Trump makes up his own math.”

My thinking was that slang terms are slightly less universal. Got lucky.

Thought flying like an Eagle would top random names (surmised women’s soccer). Wasn’t exactly sure what division or league either. Educated guesses sometimes work.

I run down possible fill-in-the-blanks with oddball words, like a lone plural noun, but didn’t immediately find other fits. Quibbles: Pickups aren’t trucks, and the game is (to) pick up sticks, not a compound noun. Finally guessed right on green/yellow.

I’m an @mlbtv.bsky.social subscriber, but Giants-Dodgers is blacked out where I live on the central California coast. Also have You Tube TV, which doesn’t offer either @nbcsportsbayarea.com or the Dodgers RSN in my area.

I pay but get nothing for these games.

A moment of silence, please, and one last someone to come along and take my place, with a different name or in a different place – feeling alright, I'm not feeling that good myself – with the passing of Traffic’s Dave Mason.

Devin Nunes Departs Trump Media After 4 Years as C.E.O. The former congressman said it was an “appropriate time” for a leadership change at Truth Social’s parent company, whose share price has floundered.

President Trump’s social media company, which has consistently lost money and struggled with a flagging share price, announced Tuesday that it was replacing Devin Nunes as its chief executive officer. nyti.ms/3QjNBKh

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

A moment of silence, please, and last trip down by the lazy river, come as you please, down by the lazy river, one big family, with the passing of another toothsome and toothy Osmond Brother, Alan.

… in friendly Gilroy. Nice pull.

There’s a spot between Gilroy and the tomato canning plant in Hollister where, when the wind is right and the two crops are in season, that they could name Marinara.

Didn’t think those specific initials, didn’t remember them, but got the gist. Normally a group of names would be blue, went purple because nothing else was tough.

Was working on a zodiac thing when I stumbled into the Bond market. Once again, @caturday62.bsky.social with some knowledge, this time a mystery type of bag.

The Dodgers & Giants head-to-head all-time in the regular season is tied, 1,288 wins each (with 19 ties, h/t @EliasSports)
 
When the Dodgers led, 1,288 to 1,287, last year, it was the first time they led the all-time head-to-head since after a game on Aug 8, 1896, when they led 49-48

Almost went greens first, which was really a guess, same with the purples. I’m not an ardent running fan nor have heard of B’s and C’s. Lucky guessing.

Spotted the purples right off, assumed they were a misdirection … until I found the real misdirection. Shoutout to @caturday62.bsky.social for confirming black widow and meatless Monday knowledge.

Artist’s rendition of Trump’s brain:

Any truth to the rumor, no matter how many first-round grades they have or whether they trade back, that the player they select will be precisely who they wanted?

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Look I gained some small fame giving “correct” responses to prompts on TV. But I am really worried that we are raising a bunch of kids that can learn flash card decks and not think why any of that stuff matters.

That gets worse when we outsource the Why to an LLM

Michigan’s attorney general is rejecting an effort by the US Justice Department to obtain ballots and other voting materials from the Detroit area, a target of the Trump administration’s efforts to probe elections in states that the president falsely claims he won in 2020. https://cnn.it/423eS6p

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

“A president who thrives on drama is bringing an even more intense version of his unorthodox, maximalist approach to a new situation—war. He is veering between belligerent and conciliatory approaches and grappling behind the scenes with how badly things could go wrong.”

23 is an oddly specific, non-round number for a listicle.
