Simultaneously too amped and too exhausted to sleep. Mariners baseball is like its own little neurological condition.

Or: no pitcher who has started a game that season can pitch in extras. Let’s get to the third-string catcher who pitched in little league faster.

I’ve been enjoying some Ichiro reminiscences this week and I’d sort of forgotten that that incredible season more or less fell apart with the one-two punch of the post-9/11 pause and then having to face God’s Own Yankees in that context

Also, to be clear this year’s good times go back all the way to the Etsy Witch turnaround a month ago, it’s been a ride

@jonbois.bsky.social’s Dorktown series on the Mariners is the greatest work of M’s historiography, the greatest piece of sports journalism, the greatest piece of video storytelling of this century, I love it so much

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

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”

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
