I don't say this much, considering some of the stuff they've done in the past that almost made GenCon move out, but.. I need to say "Well done Indiana"
Breaking news: The redistricting effort in Indiana fails as Republican lawmakers deliver a rare rebuke of President Trump, as some GOP state senators sided with Democrats to kill a plan to alter Indiana’s voting map.
Trump’s redistricting effort fails in Indiana as GOP lawmakers deliver rare rebuke
Republicans hold a 40-10 advantage in the state senate but still rejected Trump’s pressure. ‘Hoosiers are very independent.’

My fellow #RedSox fans need to perform a self cranial-rectal inversion. They just ran the team's PBP radio guy off Twitter because he had said that he had heard good things would happen in the next 72 hours (and when it didn't happen in 24, started being all kinds of awful to him)

@kenwhite.bsky.social Please tell me there are states where this woman's "right to drive" would have been revoked with extreme prejudice. (47 year old woman with EIGHTY TWO court warrants, and 40+ traffic citations, with a car full of drugs, strikes and kills a man.) www.cbsnews.com/news/roderic...

If you don't mind me asking probably a stupid question, why can prosecutors attempt multiple times to indict someone with different grand juries? It seems to me that a grand jury no-bill would be similar to a not guilty verdict (especially as there's no defense)

@mitchgit.bsky.social I have to say with the news Micro is getting out of the consumer business (too lucrative to sell to AI) and RAM stock normalized till 2028, we need indie companies to make a huge surge, since they won't be able to push the boundaries with AAA titles/new console gen

@kenwhite.bsky.social Question: How robust is California's Anti-SLAPP policy? This seems (to my untrained eye) like a PRIME SLAPP suit (The Dodgers had recently denied ICE the parking lot at Dodger Stadium) www.nytimes.com/athletic/646...

Prime #umpshow shenanigans in the Sox game tonight. Ump's been horrible all night, and topped it off by telling Buehler to get "back on the mound" (where he already was), before ejecting him. @keithlaw.bsky.social just nods his head sagely.

Heh. Gamers are yelling at nintendo's live stream "DROP THE PRICE" (switch games will be like $80 and the system $400ish).. did anyone think that nintendo was going to just eat a 32% tariff (Taiwan)/34% tariff (Japan) and NOT pass on the costs to the customer

you may have fallen for DOGE's claim to have identified 55 Billion in waste (probably not, if you're on Bsky), but one of the folks still on Twitter (sorry, Elonny, never gonna call it X), went through it and found.. you guessed it.. SHENANIGANS!
$8 million becomes $8 BILLION, savings counted 3x..

I am probably the first person in the world to think of this, but last night I had Madonna's Material Girl stuck in my head (Don't know why, I hadn't heard the song in forever), but then I imagined it being sung in Elmer Fudd's voice.
Yeah, that's weird.

I am made of OW. Was trying to hold the dog's collar (there were folks inside the house and he wanted to investigate), tripped over my own heel thanks to the big slippers I had on, and went down. Thankfully, knee then chest hit, but unfortunately, they're on different sides.. No bueno.

I have discovered #bardcore , which is (in one definition) songs done in other languages like Classic Latin, or Olde English. For example, "Omnes Optant Mundum Regere" (or translated from Classic Latin, "Everyone Wants to Rule The World" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtt7...

Normally I'd say a team that hasn't won in 7 games in all competitions and is 11 points behind the leader on December 1st is "stick a fork in them, they're done"
But this is Manchester Citeh, so, not yet.

I swear, someone needs to look at the #Dodgers management, and see if they're pulling a Wilpon. Wins the world series, and decides to spend $36 million a year on a six inning pitcher with a sketchy injury history. Yes it has deferred money, but there's $52 million UP FRONT.
