When you're traveling somewhere, it's usually not ideal to leave your fully packed suitcase in your living room at home.

An AI image of Oakland City Hall is missing some stuff…can you spot it?

A press release announcing Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee’s State of the City speech included a curious picture of a civic landmark.

I won a pinball tournament yesterday! Survived a three strikes tournament, my second win in this particular tournament.

This is some good baseball writing (and I don't just say that because the Dodgers won the game).

One Ohtani, Two Hernándezes Lead Dodgers to Game 1 Win

Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player on the planet, maybe the best who ever lived. Cristopher Sánchez tied him in knots. It didn’t matter.

After two years of legal wrangling, Lily Alexander, a former UNM Lobo editor and now a reporter with the Santa Fe New Mexican, recently reached a $195,000 settlement with the school, and it has handed over the 2023 weapons inventory.

Congratulations Lily!

Dodgers won.

Matthew Reichbach @fbihop.press · 3d

70 years ago today, the Dodgers won their first ever World Series, and the only one they'd win in Brooklyn before decamping for Los Angeles.

They defeated the Yankees 2-0 in game 7, when Johnny Podres threw a complete game shutout, scattering eight hits.
