I'm well aware, it's why I've never bothered with a TikTok account.

But I wasn't restricting to TikTok either.

Not for long. And the proposed new owners want to do the same.

I would so happily give up every billion-dollar movie to get hundreds of quirky, non-mainstream manifestations of someone’s heartfelt creative vision

Anesthetizing the masses is more important than informing them, apparently.

Billionaires want us drifting in fields of poppies instead of paying attention to the men behind the curtains.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

They were on the verge of getting some of the Pike Place fishmongers to pitch.

This is the way the game ends
This is the way the game ends
This is the way the game ends
Not with a bunt but a single.

If this is another double play, the sport is fully cursed

Since this game began, I have:
• Written a Tom’s Guide article
• Dropped my daughter off at her homecoming game
• Taken my wife out for pho
• Gone for a swim

Remember when Tarik Skubal was pitching in this game?

We would have also accepted Felicity Huffman's "Shoe money tonight!" from SportsNight.

Did she mark the start of shoe innings by singing “Sir, I want to buy these shoes” from the terrible “Christmas Shoes” song? Folks, you know the answer.

Back when I had A’s season tickets, the deal I struck with @lschmeiser.bsky.social was that if a game went extras and we stayed, for every 3 innings, she got to buy new shoes.

This is now the rare, costly double shoe game.
