I am DYING to know how long the Mariners stadium gameday operations people have had “do a salmon race but this time humpy wins” up their sleeve as a break glass in case of emergency fire-up-the-crowd play

Did the Mariners finally win ALDS Game 5 because of Humpy the Salmon?

Humpy won his first ever Salmon Run Friday night -- just before the Mariners secured a win and advanced to the ALCS.

“Billy, these are salmon. They’re some of the most undervalued fish in baseball. Their defect is they can’t survive on land. They can be the most effective relief pitchers in the league.”

The Mariner Moose lifts Humpy the Salmon up in celebration after Humpy won the Salmon Run for the first time ever. Mariners fans can be seen going wild in the background.

Today my daughter had an abortion.
As a mother, I felt a whirlwind of emotions: grief, compassion, confusion.
But as a marketer, I felt... inspired.
Because in that painful moment, I realized: every decision is driven by story.
My daughter didn't make her choice because of stats or infographics. She made it because of narratives, values, and clarity of identity - the same forces that drive great brands.
It reminded me that:
-Customers don't want features — they want empowerment.
-Messaging must be clear, courageous, and deeply personal.
-Marketing is about helping people make hard decisions with confidence.
So to my daughter: thank you. You reminded me why I do what I do.
And to my fellow marketers: remember that every campaign should come from a place of truth - even if that truth is uncomfortable.

The way my brain works though, somebody OBVIOUSLY needs to write a romance novel where the hero is a baseball player who messes up in a big game and has to deal with the fallout and confront what it means to fail, to earn redemption, and to believe you're worthy of love as an imperfect human.

Tell your friends not to be assholes to a baseball player bc he made a mistake. And to call it out if you see someone doing that.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

a fortunate quirk is that doing food and medical support for impoverished children, foreign and domestic, *also* is about the biggest bang it is possible to get for our buck.

so you can analyze aid on a moral basis or a realpolitik basis and you get the same answer: we should do it

Julia Azari @juliaazari.bsky.social · 3d

Here's the thing. I am a lucky person and pay a fair bit in taxes. I can think of no better use for my tax dollars than feeding children, because I think all people are equally deserving of basic humanity.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
