I’m not saying this could be Josh Naylor in the on-deck circle getting ready to hit last night. But I’m also not NOT saying it…

Also, the United States absolutely needs something the Europe's GDPR.

But Americans don't seem to care about freedom anymore. Ben Franklin talked about those who would trade freedom for security. But someone should've told him about the many more who trade freedom for convenience.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – Legal Text

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣

Good to know. (you know what to do!)

I’m bald. I don’t know how anything works. People don’t like my comedy. Fine, I’ll do it. I’ll be the Joe Rogan of the left.

Am I the only #Mariners fan who wishes they would end the Ryan Rowland-Smith/Dave Valle experiment during their home games, and promote ace analyst and long-time Ms employee #AngieMentink to full-time in the color commentator slot alongside the incredible #AaronGoldsmith? Angie is terrific!

After a rough first week, the Mariners now rank 7th in homers, 3rd in SB and BB%, 14th in K% and wRC+. Middle of the pack in runs, which considering they’ve played 12 games in the worst hitters park in baseball, isn’t too bad. Consistency is still going to be the key though.

Wow. Stay classy, San Francisco.

Hey - FYI I have been in the hospital since last Sunday. Long story. BAD infection. On the mend but it’s coming slowly. I haven’t given two thoughts to Trump since and don’t intend to start now, FYI. Who says there are no silver linings?!?
