I like cats. And treating human beings like human beings. And science. Also bowling, baseball, tennis, and biathlon, science-fiction. and word games. And a few people. Probably in that order.

LGBTQIA+ safe space.

Baseball Stuff I'm Depressed About
Come for the Pirates replacing Roberto Clemente's name and number with a third-rate liquor ad, stay for the Dodgers visiting the president who thinks Jackie Robinson is "DEI."

I am incredibly disappointed to see the Dodgers—my favorite team since childhood—celebrating at the White House today with someone whose current policies would make it illegal for them to hire Jackie Robinson.

Stand for something. #DEI

USBC serves "approximately 1 million" bowlers. Today, in response to an Executive Order, it opted to "protect" this vulnerable group by banning 46 transgender women from competition.

And now a friend whom I greatly admire and respect has lost her ability to compete over this bullshit.

Fuck. This.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

A recent comment on Zuckbook from a Trump supporter referred to him as "the most abused man in history." I've been spiraling anew at how far 49% of America will bend backwards to defend this poor nice man who just wants to help the U.S.

So continues the spiral: www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

I finally read Old Man's War. I was not disappointed. Thank you again, Mr. Scalzi.

On this holiday weekend in the US, I'm grateful that the most amazing winter sport on the planet has its season debut tomorrow. And yes, I will be getting up at 4am to watch it live, since you asked.

If you don't biathlon, do you even?

Q: What's better than checking out the new heated cat bed that Gramma got you for an early Christmas gift?

A: Berserker flinging a twist tie around in the new heated cat bed.

Alistair and Neville, respectively, have been your models this evening, and gladly accept tips in catnip.

It's really embarrassing when you immediately know what the Pangram is, but you can't for the life of you remember how to spell it correctly.

Happy Tuesday.

One of the growing pains with the platform that needs to be addressed: I search for bowling and I mostly get posts about college football. This creates much sad-making.

Where my bowlers at? Bowling fans? Pro bowlers? Tournament bowlers? League bowlers? Weekend warriors?

This is Arthur. He seems to have misplaced his legs and needs your help to find them. They are about one inch long and Arthur-colored. 13/10

Thinking back to that one time our (former) lawn care service stole our grass, and wondering about the I-can-laugh-about-it-now things that others have experienced that you wouldn't believe if it hadn't happened to you personally.

Please share your stories.

I’m contractually obligated to tell you guys the Boston Red Sox added Jhoestynxon Garcia to their 40-man roster and his nickname is “The Password.”

Yesterday, I received an incredibly thoughtful thank-you gift—an ice cream sampler. The pints were VERY well packaged in tons of dry ice.

It is, to my knowledge, the first time I've ever seen instructions to "thaw" an item by sticking it in the freezer, and that was accurate.

Dry ice is no joke.

As happy as I am to see friends and reliable news sources appearing on BlueSky, I didn't really move this way to re-immerse myself in the muck that is the current state of the world, which is already sufficiently inescapable.

What joy might we squeeze out of today?
