The last time I saw a game go on this long it was when my friend and I were playing switch-off Backyard Baseball and kept tying. We went 17 innings.

At some point you just have to declare the other AL slot vacant and hold some kind of conclave, right?

Tonight there is a game that is going on longer than games can go on and also it's either very exciting if very boring or very nerve-wracking and also maybe someone failed to catch a ball and idk if it was a player or some rich person we hate

I love that I have finally hit a sufficient number of mutuals who post frequently about sports that I get to make up elaborate stories where I try to piece all of the vague & mysterious posts into a coherent narrative.

In the past, the first DHS statement in these situations has been a lie meant to make them look as innocent as possible.

CJ Ciaramella @cjciaramella.bsky.social · 18h

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

Pretty insane stuff from DHS Acting General Counsel Joseph Mazzara:

www.thehandbasket.co/p/dhs-fps-me...

Accordingly, if an individual across the street from a federal building throws a rock or bottle at FPS officers on federal property, as many of these rioters are wont to do, FPS can leave federal property and either arrest the malefactors or take other appropriate action in line with FPS's continuum of force policies. FPS could even enter a private residence containing an identified sniper blocks away from a federal facility in order to eliminate that exigent threat. There is simply no legal barrier to FPS taking action off federal property where a reasonable nexus to protecting that property exists.

I don't want to lambast a guy for the crimes of his son, but how many times do we have to hear about another church pedophile.

It's not porn's fault you're a sexual abuser. Maybe if people spent time dealing with actual ISSUES rather than blaming everything on a imaginary demon...

Screen shot of Ron DeHaas essay (The Perfect Sin) recovered from the Covenant Eyes website:

As my personal burden for the issue of internet pornography has grown, I have seen in the testimonials of our members how pornography has broken relationships.
It breaks down relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, on the job, even lost jobs, relationship to church family, relationship to the "inner man," and a person's relationship to God.
Related: The Effects of Porn on Wives and Marriages
When there is a secret life going on, that secret life affects every one of those relationships. A secret life pervades every aspect of life, and diminishes effectiveness in all areas of life-home, job, church, everything. For those who are active in a church of any faith, a secret life destroys ministry, and the cumulative effect of millions of secret lives is an ineffective church. Basically, Internet pornography has been perhaps the greatest push toward an era of ineffective ministry.
Related: Porn-A Gateway Drug
All the more for the pastor, minister, or counselor whose job and ministry are tied together. The damage that Internet pornography has done is truly immeasurable.
So, from Satan's perspective, internet pornography is the perfect sin. It breaks families and jobs and communities, it tears down a person's relationship to God, it diminishes the work of ministry, and it is devastating in every way. And it is freely available to everyone of all ages, it is only two clicks (maybe one if it's bookmarked) away from you reading this, it is addictive, and (without a monitoring program) it is totally secret. I firmly believe that internet pornography is the sin of this decade. What more could
Satan ask for?
