Walkable cities and public transportation are better. But at least make the cars small again

I’ll know the fascism is over when the cars are all normal size again

There is no need for trucks to be this big. This is silly and gross.

I am sitting outside the doctor office waiting for my mom to come
out and there was a pretty big pickup truck blocking my view. I was like when that truck leaves this seat will be perfect. Welp.
The truck moved and then an even bigger truck parked there. It was like a comedy.

Should probably make sure the premise of that taylor swift joke isn't misogyny before you (re)post it

That's a lot of balls

It does make me curious about how people decide what their line is. What is too much.

I've been watching baseball since the Blue Jays were birthed and only now learned that a "Bullpen Game" means you put the entire Bullpen on the mound at the same time. How that doesn't lead to more pitcher head injuries, I don't know but, hey, it worked.

I have heard some people say they stay on there bc of the DMs and the group chats. But maybe just download WhatsApp or discord something. There has to be a solution. Ah well. I'm sure I do things other people don't understand as well.

And who knows. Maybe a year from now I'll be on the next post it site talking about how I stayed on bluesky too long. But I hope they figure it out instead.

They should throw him more strikes

And I know there are issues here too. Especially lately, but the bluesky mods are not working in the white house.

I stayed on there a lot longer than I should have and I regret it. I try not to judge bc I don't know their lives etc, but I am extremely disappointed too. It seemed obvious to me after the election that posting on there supports fascism; and that the people who run that place see it that way too.

I briefly went back to Twitter because I wanted to find something I had posted a couple of years ago. I scrolled the current timeline for a minute and was shocked at how many baseball people I know who still hang out and post there on the regular. Makes me sad.

It feels like a game show SNL would make up

It seems really hard to win. Just seems like not playing until the end is the best way

The show is called The Floor. It's hosted by Rob Lowe and it's terrible. You should watch it.

I'm don't think it is the thing I would be like, yeah, I know a LOT about that. Go ahead and challenge me.

The next category is “pets” and the “expert” missed parrot. This is not jeopardy.

I’m not sure. You want it to sound a little esoteric so people won’t challenge you, but also something that would make good tv
