On this day in 2013, Stan Musial passed away at the age of 92. He didn’t really do well as a pitcher starting out, but he sure could hit. 3,630 of ‘em, while batting .331 over the course of 22 years. And still underappreciated. Here’s my painting of him at Shibe Park in May of 1946.

Found this at Sound Revolution in Klein yesterday. It still has the original plastic and price tag from 1985. “Your Love” is obviously a classic. But the entire album is fantastic and under-appreciated.

Isaiah Blackwell used his body as a shield in guiding Jake Lang away from counterprotesters before two Black women were his unexpected getaway drivers.

Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said, “Lang saw that Black man as less than him. The Black man saw Lang as a human being.”

For real though, last year’s St. Patrick’s Day MLB hats went hard and I should wear this more often

it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

Cleaning out the closet means I get to rediscover all those old sweaters that now fit again, including this handmade Scottish beaut that will come in handy when it gets ass-cold this weekend

This is exactly why so many sounded the alarm a long time ago about the abuses we would ultimately see with facial recognition technology

I just want to emphasize for Texans that with the potential of wintry precipitation this weekend there is a lot of uncertainty and that is likely to continue for several days. Last year’s forecast looked like snow from the beginning which was easier. This looks not like snow, more difficult.

“When ruling elites call for peace, they are demanding docility. When they cynically cite decontextualized MLK Jr quotes & invoke rights of ‘peaceful protesters’ while denouncing actually existing protests, they announce that no effective protest will ever be peaceful enough to meet their approval.”

Are the Texans the Aggies of the NFL? Like, they make you think there’s a chance, but in the biggest games they don’t show up? Anyway, condolences to my Houston football friends. I know this pain all too well

The trans woman who rescued Jake Lang yesterday/whose car he ran into said in a video about the incident that she and her friend in the car thought he was being beaten by ICE. They kicked him out of the car after they found out who he was, lol

“The El Paso Times reported nearly 90 emergency 911 health calls coming from the facility in the first 15 weeks of operation … and the ACLU reported acts of physical violence against detainees and attempts to force detainees to self-deport.”
A third immigrant held at Camp East Montana has died, reportedly by suicide. Victor Manuel Díaz was detained in Minnesota. He is the sixth migrant to die since Jan. 1 in ICE detention.
