I connected a WiFi enabled solenoid valve to a hose and set up a script on my phone so when the camera detected a squirrel it got blasted with the hose briefly. It was very effective.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

This about covers it I think. I absolutely wanted no part of the Yankees signing Grisham to the kind of contract his numbers this season would imply, but if even I can see that... I guess you have to figure the league and Grisham's representation also can see that writing on the wall.
The Grisham one is particularly interesting, because I see both "why did the Yankees even offer it?!?!" and also "I can't believe he took it, this was a career year!" and if both of those things are true, then .. he probably made the right choice.

Really glad to see this. Had a brief moment of shock when I saw her name show up in a @coffeezilla.bsky.social video recently.
Hey I posted about this on the other app but wanted to do so here, too.
In short: I said yes without doing an ounce of vetting, and that's 100% on me. Thought it was just a normal marketing gig and I'm incredibly embarrassed about the whole thing. A colossal fuck-up on my part.

Mina, please help us understand the solitaire situation. I think most fans are concerned about its origins. I ask respectfully. Best wishes.

Playoff baseball has very little to do with determining who the better team is
he's right and being salty is very understandable but also i don't think the dodgers have necessarily been the "better" team since they played the reds in the wild card. that's baseball
