I told my son the game was cursed and would never end. It would just be the skeletons of Mariners and Tigers endlessly playing twenty years from now.

My current operating theory is that someone must’ve hired an Etsy witch on behalf of the Tigers and they and the Mariners’ Etsy witch are just doing dueling hexes on each other and therefore we are going to be watching this game until the heat death of the universe.

And I got "watch" the game with my son, even if he was in another state. Technology is cool.

Wow. What a game. I'm a Tigers fan, but I can't even be mad. They escaped from multiple no escape situations in that game, and the Mariners are just a good team. I freaking love baseball.

😂 Congrats, Meg. I'm a Tigers fan, but I'm all in for the Ms now

I did not want to see the Tigers go to extras, but I am happy not to see the zombie runner (Manfred man?) on second base.

I really wish Detroit wasn't playing Seattle right now. My lifelong Tigers fandom is running up hard against my interest in seeing the Mariners finally reach the World Series.

I really enjoyed the discussion. I love Ben’s mindset. As Portland’s response to the National Guard stuff is showing, satire and laughing at them may be one of the best weapons we have.

This was an incredible and hopeful discussion. Give it a listen.

It’s amazing how when a guy is successful, it was earned through ingenuity and hard work. When a woman is successful, it was somehow gifted to her by, I don’t know, the success fairy or something. That’s not even accounting for the added negation when it’s a black woman.

Let's go Aces! Trailed most of the game but kept pace and dialed up down the stretch. What a game!

Sens. Warren and Murphy as well.

AOC, Jasmine, Pete, Pritzker, Talarico, and Tim Walz are the voices that give me hope. I think Mamdani will become a bigger voice if he wins in NYC as well.

My guess is she lost the players a long time ago, but the fact that it is spilling out into public spearheaded by one of the WNBA’s most high profile players and leaders, does not bode well for Englebert’s future with the league. From @alexaphilippou.bsky.social www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Players across the WNBA supported Napheesa Collier after she ripped WNBA leadership in her exit interview Tuesday.

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · Jun 12

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.

If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

““What would Jesus do?”
kind of assumes Jesus stayed in the tomb.

A better – admittedly less catchy – question is “What IS Jesus DOING and how am I invited to participate?””

Used to dislike Geno (for the very valid reason that UConn won too much) and then @sarahspain.com had him in her podcast and turns out he’s a solid, quality dude. Dammit, I want my ignorant dislike back. (With you on Mulkey)
