You called up Cassie only to sit him in back to back games? C’mon #Cubs he can’t do any worse. Play the kid or send him back to AAA so he can develop.

As the posts noted (green highlights). These are Dem-voting areas. Trump wants payback. Hit their wallets and their way of life.

Funny #RichHill story from #Cubs convention 2008. Actually got autograph that year... and this is where I kinda felt like a curse because he bombed out in 08 after a great year in 07.
Before that, got Corey Patterson’s autograph at CubsCon in 03. Blew his knee that season.
Am I cursed??

IT IS TIME! #WalkingWithDinosaurs on @pbs.org both PBS & NPR are under attack right now. If you like programs like this, call your Congresscritters and make sure they keep them funded. @wttw.bsky.social

#JurassicPark was released 32 years ago today. Last year, Dad found an old ticket stub in a junk drawer from when we went to see it. Had this made for my bday last year. Note the enormous price for the matinee: $4. Had it framed for me.
If only I could get it signed by the original cast.

Sen. Scott,
This is among the most deplorable things I’ve ever heard. People should be ENTITLED to healthcare no matter what. It is not something to be dangled to get folks to work you heartless monster.

I emailed my three alma maters, turns out U OREGON did sign!! I did a quick CTRL+F to look and didn't see them so I emailed. So they may have signed and the update came later? In any case, #GoDucks. Here's the reply I got... so anyone reading this: contact your Uni Presidents!!

(4) and had Florida not come back last night, Milo & Dottie would have WON the whole pool! This brain-cell sharing, dual-income having before age 1 with a dedicated wait staff trash panda had a better #MarchMadness Bracket than me!

(3) but this year we added our cats to the pool… we picked feline mascots to win (or higher seed… or closest to a cat or something a cat would like) in each matchup… and the little darlings came in SECOND with 89 points!

Now this is a story all about how my March bracket got flipped upside down.
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I lost to my cats fair and square…

I know this image is doctored, but, SOMEONE, please, ask him the following, “if Wakanda is willing to cut us a deal for that very important mineral Vibranium that is exclusive to us, would that negate our need to annex Greenland for its Vibranium mines? And would you then lower its tariff rates?”

Whelp… just like my regular bracket, my #2025MMM bracket went bust. Friggin Polar Bear took out the Cape Buffalo… alas… #WaitTilNextYear again.

The problem with pitch 4 being a “stolen” strike is that Amaya *had* to take a shot on pitch 5 because it could have been a strike. #Cubs

I started using this back in 2021 in a lot of my Cubs Tweets because I felt the FO didn’t care to really make one last push when the Core was hot…
Think I’ll redirect it at Dem leadership.
