Random mushrooms that I spotted at work today — probably "false parasol", which are common in #arizona after rain. No, I didn't pick them and yes they are poisonous. 🍄

On the off chance this meme of Jake hasn't made it here, yet.
A photoshopped image of San Diego Padres baseball player Jake Cronenworth on all fours. Somebody has added ears and a tail and the words "meow."

This is good, right?

A picture of baseball player Ramon Laureano with his jersey pulled up over his head. He looks like Mother Teresa. He is surrounded by other Padres players.

Me anytime I'm at a Padres game.
A blurry photo of a man in a Dracula costume and fangs running by. The image has the words: COMING UP, GOBLIN TIME.

Nothing like taking in a Padres game in the desert. 🤎💛

Ahoy! It is I! Your favorite mediocre white dude with another zinger about baseball — specificially about the San Diego Padres and why they are GOOD while your favorite team is EVIL.

It's just science, folks.

I also included some SILLY MEMES! For fun!
An image with text. It is a quote from an article called "Why I Am The Best Baseball Fan." A meme that reads: "If nobody got me, I know Manny Machado got me." A meme with a reclining Yu Darvish that says: "Yu just lost to the San Diego Padres." A meme with the face of AJ Preller. He has red eyes and there is text, in the Dark Souls font, that reads: PRELLER DEFENDED.

My friend Deb took this interesting Tatis Jr. picture today. 🤔
Baseball player Fernando tatis Jr has a funny stance after not swinging at the ball during a recent at-bat at the Peoria sports complex in Peoria, Arizona.

Thinking of dressing as AJ Preller for Spring Training...

World Baseball Classic was a whole lotta fun and exactly what regular Spring Training should be like: good baseball, $15 tickets, cash transactions, and spicy pickles.

Also wouldn't mind a few teams coming back to Tucson. Kino Sports Complex took care of business. 👍

Extending Don is a very big, glowy bright spot amidst this strange off-season and start to Spring Training.

Friend took this, um, er, interesting (?) picture of the Cease Se Puede mural.

From Ash_Padres on X
A meme that shows a blonde bearded man saying the words "thank you for saving my life' to Michael King and Dylan Cease and underneath the pictures of the baseball players it says "we're literally just baseball players"

Yes, hello, I have written a thing. It's not about baseball, but it is about we misinterpret and make assumptions about the past. I also talk about ice cream.

Sidebar: Fort Bowie is very cool.

A beautiful day for a walk through part of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge.
A sunny day, with whispy cirrus clouds. There are leaf-less trees on either side of the image. Brown, waist-high grass is in the foreground surrounding a mostly concealed barbwire cattle fence.
