Lots of people here talking about leaving for Mastadon or Threads and I realized that if everyone cool leaves this place I’ll probably end up on reddit and that is so depressing

The way the ESPN broadcast framed Emanuel Clase being on the restricted list as a positive thing that brought the team together (without mentioning the reason he’s on the restricted list, of course) was fucking wild

The real tip off that MLB isn’t real is the names of some of the players are so obviously just made up. Richard Lovelady? Janson Junk? Chadwick Tromp? Come the fuck on

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

Wow I wasn’t expecting the highway rest stop historical marker to bum me out

PINE WAS KING
Vast forests of virgin white pine were the treasure which brought the first wave of white settlers to Northern Wisconsin.
The farms
came later. but for half a century
the forests were local history.
In 1847. the Knapp, Stout & Co. purchased thousands of acres of pinelands from the
Government for S1.25 per acre. In 1848 they began logging operations in Barron County and by 1870 the company was sald to be the greatest lumber corporation In the world and the undisputed lord of the thousands of square miles comprising the Red Cedar Valley.
In 1901 the Knapp. Stout & Co. mills became silent as the white pine of the area was gone and the denudation of the arca was regrettably complete.
Today Barron County ranks high in the state' In forestry. but agriculture comprises the main industry of the area.
Erected 1976
