The joke’s on him because no one hates MLB more than its own commissioner.

Hello fellow Giants fan!!

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that public pressure and targeted boycotts don’t work. We did this — Sinclair caved because we let their advertisers know we would boycott them as well.

We need to keep this energy and focus across every front until this corrupt regime is routed from our government.

He did not compare him to MLK but it was still really gross.

It is entirely possible to denounce violence without whitewashing the reputation of an unrepentant fascist — and Newsom abjectly failed.

Literal press release and everything.

Sacramento, CA has turned out to celebrate our community and unequivocally reject a tyrant and his fascist regime.

NO KINGS!!

We are officially in a full-blown Constitutional crisis.

Spent the evening doing more tank maintenance — it’s the sort of puttering work that calms the mind and eases the spirit. I love watching these little lives going about their business.

Took a break from existential dread this afternoon, put on a podcast, and did some tank maintenance. The filters are cleaned, plants trimmed, water changed, and the fishies and I are both happier!

I first posted this on Twitter back in 2020. I stand by it then, now, and always:

Fuck fascism — and those who encourage and enable it.
