There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

They aren't anywhere outside of DE, are they?

Brooke! @helpingfriendly.bsky.social · 3h

I mean, I love this for them.

Oh! It would have been your go-to! I mean, where else would you eat? Pat's Pizzeria? D.P. Dough? Brew-ha-ha?

It's uncanny! 😭 But not truly on him! His was the last moment, but they all had chances!

(He's a good egg! Graduated college in May, having spent the last two seasons finishing his degree while playing ball and getting razzed about doing his homework by his raw-milk-drinking millionaire coworkers!)

I was surprised neither Los Caballitos nor Taqueria Feliz...or Amor now, I guess, don't have chilaquiles on the menu.

I'm trying to remember the name of this incredible hole-in-the-wall in Norristown I used to go to, but it's been a minute.

The best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico is in a roadside restaurant near the PA/DE border near Kennett Square. I've make a point to go whenever I'm home. They have chilaquiles on the menu, BUT I've never had them there, but I bet they slap! Look up Taqueria Moroleon. Worth the trip!

She pulled The High Priestess for the Phils' overall series, which to me is a real... sit and reflect on your intuition (the things you know to be true that you ignore). Which...bullseye, tbh.

YES. OMG YES!

Oh no! It's a romance! (It fits into my ongoing series, this is actually great! But bad because I'm writing like 4 other books right now.)

Great. Now I'm writing a story where a couple of tarot girlies take over their favorite sports franchise by preying on the dumb, rich, owner who comes to them for a reading and they use the opportunity to get the team to make the right moves.

In that spread, The Tower for starting pitching is the team needing to confront the fact that elite pitching is not enough, so part of that is paying Kyle! And a tower moment IS necessary, because they'll otherwise keep doing the same thing, and there are structures that need broken (not Kyle)!

Honestly, this is a really sharp Season Ending spread. Not just how it ended, but what we need to learn from the season too.

How do we turn Dombro into a tarot girlie so we can tell him what he needs to hear?

Where are my Phillies tarot girlies? @babkastreisand.bsky.social ? Do you see this NLCS game 4 spread?

I could have gone to bed on time! I could have eaten less self-soothing ice cream! I could have lost less time off my life due to extra inning stress responses!

Get the front office on the phone!

Dodgers actually look much stronger than the Phillies today???

For the game outcome, I pulled The Magician for the Phillies and Strength for the Dodgers earlier this week. I thought Phillies had the edge but based on this spread it certainly looks like the Magician is losing control of his tools

NLDS Game 4 tarot spread

Starting pitching
PHI: Tower
LAD: Queen of cups

Bullpen
PHI: Hanged man
LAD: Queen of swords

Offense
PHI: Queen of pentacles
LAD: 8 of pentacles

Defense
PHI: 9 of swords
LAD: 2 of wands

External factors that will affect the outcome for each team
PHI: 8 of cups
LAD: King of cups

I'm completely floored at this spread in retrospect.

As much as I complain about Topper, I would happily patrol the grounds of his estate with a baseball bat to keep away death-threating, sports-betting degens and let the man have a peaceful night of sleep. Heck, I'd do it for this guy too. Anyone but Manfred, really.
