FOR EDGAR MARTINEZ

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 4h

This game is officially one full phone charge long for me

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 4h

You gotta be kidding me

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 4h

BUNT

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 4h

Oh my dear god what a game this is

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 4h

The best part is the rest of the booth just simply not acknowledging him so he keeps saying it

Chris Joseph @chrisjoseph13.bsky.social · 4h

This is all AJ Pierzynski’s fault for yammering on and on about bunting

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 4h

Imagine taking a baseball to the knuckles and not getting awarded first base.

BUNT

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 5h

We’re so close.

JOE BUCK: Welcome to the top of the 47th

BUCK: oh god yes

This broadcast hit the over on “punch” and all its variants in the fifth inning. Relentless.

Alex Kirshner @alexkirshner.com · 6h

Pretty done with "punchie" as a term for a strikeout. Not cute. Does nothing for me

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 5h

Truly don’t envy fans of either team right now but I’m having an absolute time watching this game

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 7h

Electric at bat right there. Skubal says here’s three absolute fucking rockets, good luck catching up to them.

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 12h

Why do I feel like the crazy person for understanding that this big dumb pissbaby is just that and not some all knowing, all powerful god who needs to be appeased at every turn.

Debbie @deboraho.bsky.social · 13h

She sure did.

So mass layoffs over Thanksgiving, yeah? Then a huge influx of Twitter Files adjacent freaks in time for Christmas.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Oh my god. Oh my god. That is the absolute worst way to lose.

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 1d

I switched over to baseball and the Panthers scored, so I can’t go back, right?

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 1d

Panthers dominating a game and give up a tying goal on some stupid shit. Boy is it good to be back.

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 1d

God it’s so nice having hockey back on a random weekday. We are blessed.

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 1d

You gotta have a brain worm to think taking this angle with David bleeping Simon wouldn’t backfire

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 2d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I see everything is incredibly stupid, yet again.

Rob Slater @robslater10.bsky.social · 1d

Just opened my 2026 health insurance price hike email. Keep the fucking government shut down forever. Gross stuff.
