Hi, I'm Demetrius. I like sports (especially baseball. I joined SABR lol), I like video games, I like weird stuff. If you like any of that, then we're cool. Please don't be goofy.

Due to some very sad circumstances, this lovely pup Luna is now in need of a home. If you're in the Atlanta area and you're looking to bring a dog into your world, Luna would be a fantastic addition to your family.

Still thinking about this morning when my extended family in El Paso texted in a panic that their airspace was closed for 10 days, convinced we were going to war with Mexico, and it turned out Hegseth was drunk (probably) and attacking a party ballon

I think Four Horsewomen-era WWE clears it but it's definitely come a LONG way from where it started
Is AEW's current women's division the best women's division ever in North America?
I'm sort of convinced it is.

What we know about the massive sewage leak in the Potomac River
A collapsed sewer line, about 8 miles from the White House, pumped 368 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of wastewater into the Potomac. Repairs could take longer than previously expected.

Nope - nothing has changed/de-escalated here. Sunday I was out observing ICE with others in my neighborhood and witnessed ICE (as per one of their usual intimidation tactics) lead us right up to and stop in front of the house where one of us in the group lives.
Q: Is Tom Homan easing the situation in MN?
Lyon: "We’ve seen a deescalation in the fact that the protests ... have subsided and ICE has been allowed to do their targeted intelligence-driven enforcement operations."
This is false. I talk to MN folks every day who say NOTHING has changed.

Rich auntie/soft life/friend who spoils everyone idea: buy your friends a photoshoot. A good one, and tailor it to what you’re trying to peer pressure them into. 🤣

And they'll wonder why they're gonna take some absolutely nasty Ls this November
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

I think collectively, we at least partially wanted the child at the Super Bowl to be Liam because the little boy on stage looked happy and healthy and our hearts want so badly to think these children can somehow magically recover from the evils our government is doing.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

This is why I get mad seeing people be like "Oh why do we need the rainbow laces campaign" whenever the Premier League promotes it. This is why. It's sad that folks can't just do stuff like this publicly without fearing for their safety
Everyone celebrating or encouraging athletes in men’s sports for coming out post-Heated Rivalry need to understand the context the show exists in. This soccer ref went viral for proposing to his fiancé on the pitch & then they were assaulted in their home after receiving threats.
