Sucks that the #Bluejays miss out on both Tucker and Bo.
But, on the bright side, Tucker’s AAV is insane and fuck the Dodgers. And, Bo didn’t go to an AL East team.

Everyone should get off this app. Now. It should have been when Musk bought it, it should have been when grok happened. It should have been when it became a CSAM generator.

Go the fuck away, you complete asshole.

This is something I don't understand right now. We have an adversarial relationship with the US right now, and one of it's most effective tools of sowing dissent in the country is the CSAM generation tool formally known as Twitter.

I absolutely love good trouble.
Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.

This was incredible. We fed 40 families today. Thank you to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for helping fundraise, @elitalksmpls.bsky.social for organizing with me, and the dozen people who helped us pack and shop. And thank you to everyone who donated. I have no words.
