Oh sweet! Glad that’s already been handled.
A screenshot of Lawrence M. Krauss’s bluesky profile, already blocked by a moderation list called “A Very British Bigotry.” His profile pic is thus blurred.

Our MLB park trips are always magical. But this year’s involved a Shohei bobblehead on a Shohei start night wherein he threw 5 innings of 1-run ball, struck out 9, and scored a run. What a fucking time to be alive.

I’ll always remember you this way, bebe.
Clayton “Can’t Perform in October” Kershaw kneeling behind the Wrigley Field pitcher’s mound, staring toward the bleachers and begging for sweet relief after giving up an absolute rocket home run off the bat of Anthony Rizzo (the second HR Clayton had allowed and the 5th run of the night) in game 6 of the 2016 NLCS. His ugly mouth is agape and he can’t believe he sucks this hard every year once the calendar turns over from September. He is wearing the traveling gray Dodgers jersey and a Dodger blue cap with the postseason logo on the side. Our POV is toward the third base line and behind Clayton, we see an out-of-focus sea of fans in Cubbie jerseys and apparel. Third base coach, Gary Jones, can also be seen standing in the background.

We were offered money for this ~5 times before we even entered the ballpark.

Greetings from Dodger Stadium. As always, it’s spectacular here and also, we hope Clayton Kershaw trips, falls, and lives, but cannot no longer pitch ever again. No quarter for homophobes.
View of Dodger field as seen from right field reserve section. The sun is setting and it’s stunning. The photo is taken by someone who thinks Clayton Kershaw is a grotesque homophobe who should be drummed out of polite society.

I am the Olympic champion.
Three six packs of Revolution Brewery’s Sun Crusher. The boxes are a splashy pattern of orange, yellow, red, and white with a range of summer imagery: cyclists, lifeguard chairs, beach umbrellas. They feature an image of the Sun Crusher can and the Revolution red star and fist logo. The boxes are sitting on a light-colored wood table in a reclaimed style. Two gold fish candlesticks with purple tapers sit behind the boxes, and olive green upholstered chair backs are visible. The background wallpaper is a black and white etching-style pattern of flowing clouds.

Catching up on all this and may I just say, god bless moderation lists.

Stop making this lady look good! That’s how bad the rest of you are!!!
A tweet by Joyce Carol Oates asks, "What do you do when police escalate violence?" above a retweeted Bernie Sanders post about Dr. King's non-violent resistance and the need for similar discipline against authoritarianism.

I can offer this perfect dog pic.

Legacy media is cooked. Anyway, subscribe to independent, local outlets.
LA Times article with a photo of Trump and Putin shaking hands. They are both wearing dark suits with lapel pins. Trump has a striped pink tie and Putin’s is maroon. The text from the Bluesky post reads, “Vladimir Putin found a way to run for a third presidential term in Russia. Might President Trump follow his example?”

Dick Durbin is my nemesis. Where can I buy a ticket to show up and boo this loser. Illinois boos you!
Tweet from Manu Raju @ mkraju Top Senate Dems chide their House colleagues' antics in the chamber last night, including Al Green who got escorted out. Sen. Dick Blumenthal told me: "I wouldn't have necessarily done all the things that were done, but I understand the emotion, and Trump was so about bullying, boasting, blaming. ... We need to provide real solutions and avoid taking the bait." Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin on Green said: "Well, of course, that was his decision. There wasn't any conscious strategy. You know, in terms of responding to the speech, I think there are better ways to do it. Stick with the basics. America was waiting to hear from the President last night. What are you going to do about the cost of living, things that we're coping with?"

Free us from the poorly designed baseball scorebugs, oh lord I pray.
Terrible scorebug from a game in the Caribbean baseball series between the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. The diamond graphic is white and bases are colored gray when runners reach. It is completely counterintuitive.
