You guys, Kershaw may be homophobic, but if 2020 is anything to go by, he's maybe not racist.

Really, he made sure we all talked about him instead of Yoshi. And for that, we should be thankful.

I missed the game watching the charter reform meeting. Reading my timeline going further and further back in time is fun.

Watching the misery play out without having to experience it is new.

The people in charge of baseball these days really do hate their fans.

Player being sawamura

So, I'm not sure if the translation I got is right. Is the player leaving to play in MLB? Or is the team cutting him?

As I've been reading articles, I've been creeped out.

Everyone needs a VPN, and they need to use it all the time if you want any semblance of privacy.

That's not the only evidence. There's GPS data and they're using his ChatGPT and Google searches as well.

I'm not saying any of that to say he DID do it. It's not a defense, there's a really big issue here about perceived and actual privacy an individual has.

But seeing articles from NASAWatch, the LA Times and LA Daily News all quoting that layoffs could be as high as 4,000 of the remaining 5,500 employees is mind-blowing.

I really hope the number is not 4,000.

You know, I really do appreciate that the new JPL director told us that layoffs would be happening in October.

I've had about a month to really mentally prepare instead of being shocked and having only a few hours to process.

Detroit needs to sit down already. They are my 3rd favorite AL team in the 2025 postseason, and they're going against my favorite AL 2024 postseason team.

I don't know why, but I immediately thought "he's a hobbit!"

(ok I do know why, it's because it's LOTR is a major part of my identity.

FWIW, hobbits are phenomenal throwers, able to take out orcs with precision and hitting them in the head)

Terrible karma Danny. We can't throw those stones, we couldn't even trust our actual bullpen yesterday.
