I’m a writer and a science geek, a singer and a sports freak. All sports are awesome but Baseball is the Best. (Disclaimer: my sports loyalties make zero sense to anyone but me. 🤷🏻‍♀️) If I don’t know you, do not DM me. Unsolicited DMs = Immediate Block 🚫

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

As the old man yelling at the cloud, I always rant about how Beltway Media lies by omission going back decades to promote balance over accuracy where "both sides" are playing the same games and acting equally obstinate. When they do that, call it out and add the facts they omit like Neguse does here

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Maybe need to clarify - THEIR approach is the wrong approach. YOU are absolutely spot on.

Bronwyn Joye @bronwynjoye.bsky.social · 20h

Exactly the wrong approach. And Mamdani’s momentum should be proving that. Any Dem that runs on the following will win:
- Universal Health Care
- $20/hr minimum wage
- Raise/Remove Soc Sec tax ceiling
- Raise marginal tax on top 2%
- Put hold on current DOD budget amount until they pass an audit.

Woke up to approximately 134 unread text messages from a pair of friends sending reaction texts to the game. Holy hell. Kinda sorry I missed it but also last message at 2:34am (ET)? No…thank you.

Geno’s isn’t even in the top five (or ten) cheesesteak places in Philly. Expanding that dreck to Baltimore should be seen as a crime.

At the risk of being labeled a Baseball Heretic, we might have ourselves a new Mr. October.

One year apart, two legendary moments. #WorldSeries

One of the reason I love the Burlington Sock Puppets (Appy league baseball) is because they have TWO mascots - a regular sock and a stirrup sock.

The Pirates and the Orioles made the World Series? In the SAME YEAR?!

Bob Hille @bobhille.bsky.social · 4d

Happy Monday, the 32nd "Sports Equinox" (MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL in action on same day). The first Sports Equinox took place Sunday, Oct. 17, 1971. Roberto Clemente's Pirates beat the Orioles in Game 7 of the World Series the same day that featured 12 NFL games, six NHL games and three NBA games.

This made me laugh so sharply and loudly that it scared my husband (the one whose sneezes send all the cats running…).

This cat is fucking ridiculous.

Photo of a white cat with gray accents (a lynx point snow shoe Birman - we think) sleeping on his back like he pays rent on a man’s denim covered lap/legs.

OH MY GOOD GOD PLEASE LEAVE THOSE THROWBACK STEELERS UNIFORMS IN THE 1933 GARBAGE HEAP! Those things are godawful. #NFL #SNFonNBC

A meme of an old original version of Mickey Mouse shoving his fists into his eye sockets to remove his eyeballs, ostensibly to delete the visual memory of these Pittsburgh Steelers throwback uniforms.

They’re REALLY GOOD! And EASY! I don’t know why I haven’t tried to make them before. I love coconut dessert things. 😋

Chocolate added. Yummy!!!

This gives me SO MUCH JOY!

Also I just realized that I’m watching a Multi-View screen with Andy Dalton QB-ing on one screen and Joe Flacco QB-ing on the other. 😆
We live in a weird timeline.

Bronwyn Joye @bronwynjoye.bsky.social · 5d

I need to be absolutely, abundantly clear that I am LOVING, on a deep and visceral level, watching 40yo Joe Flacco absolutely CRUSH IT as the Bengals stop-gap QB. #WhoDey #WelcomeToTheJungle 🐅

Macaroons! These will be chocolate dipped later. Also clearly one of my ovens runs hotter than the other. Oopsie!

Not just pitchers…baseballs smell like Life for some of us.

Photo of Buck Showalter holding a baseball up to his lips/nose. Is he smelling it? Of course. Intentionally? I’d say so.

on his podcast, @thomaszimmer.bsky.social mentioned something that's stuck with me--a common phrase used by germans during the third reich to explain this kind of cognitive dissonance: "if only the fuhrer knew!"

Thank You for Your Attention to This Matter @thewriteverdict.bsky.social · 6d

Guys like this think it's not that Trump doens't care about farmers, it's just the right info hasn't reached him yet. Same with the guys whose wives are in ICE jail, who go, "I support him on immigration, he just got this one wrong."

From his perch as a long-time global currency trader on Wall Street, Bessent also invested $25 million in Midwest land, which he leases out to actual farmers. He is not a “soybean farmer.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

Bessent on American farmers being hurt by tariffs: "Martha, in case you don't know it, I'm actually a soybean farmer, so I have felt this pain too."
