I feel this shit. Autobiographical.

A person wearing glasses, a tan cap, and a green T-shirt that reads “Elderly Normal Ninja Tortoise,” featuring a cartoon tortoise dressed like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. They are standing in a radio studio with equipment, microphones, and an “On Air” sign visible in the background.

I have employees ~59-23 who color their hair non traditionally sometimes.

I'm 51. I was drawn to "alt chicks" in high school during late 80s-90s. Dyed hair. Doc martens. Piercings.

I think with all these perverts, they creep on young women habitually. Make note of characteristics from unallied.

I have a special dislike for young guys who cozy up to bitchy former player broadcasters and suck up with shared hate while trying to refence context from Ernie Harwell's era.

I've heard some really bad local TV guys who just obviously hate modern baseball - like Thom Brenneman did. Endlessly ragging on elements of the game past 1988. Weird stat biases and intangible worshipers.

Long story, but I know someone who studied at a Zen Monastery under Phil Jackson's roshi. My fav story is that the roshi said two things that perfectly relate enlightenment is the game of baseball and the movie Groundhog Day.

Wainwright and Pierzynski are so much better in the booth than John Smoltz that it should be considered a crime to employ the latter

Is it really fun to tag all 11 of your besties in seven consecutive social posts inspired by the basic bitch hall of fame? Social media is like a firehouse of stock photos.

Cool.

Right-wingers complained about liberal bias in media for four decades and now own and control virtually all media.

Along the way media constantly promoted crazy right-wing views to normalize them out of fear of criticism.

It works in the long run.

But 10 years is forever, I guess.

A bubbling measles outbreak in the upstate of South Carolina has forced 153 unvaccinated children out of the classroom and into quarantine for a minimum of 21 days.

In Minnesota, 118 students are also under quarantine in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks

At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

Janitors and cafeteria workers _contracted_ by the federal gov’t will likely see no backpay at all.

“It’s so sad that they think they can play with ppl’s lives,” said Smithsonian Museum of American History cleaner Audrey Murray. “Stop this. Stop messing w/ppl. We have families who depend on us.”

Gabe Ortíz @tusk81.bsky.social · 2d

WIC, which for decades has fed kids and new moms, could run out of funding within two weeks.

Furloughed federal workers are stressing about bills and seeing promised backpay threatened.

The regime’s mass deportation operation, however, continues on uninterrupted during the shutdown.

Priorities.

You describe it well. People act absolutely insane and it's all becoming just normal.

A guy tried to start a fight at a self checker a few weeks ago with a woman who was on her phone instead of finishing up her order. There were two other empty lanes. Everyone is the asshole.

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

The acting director of the CDC called for new, separate MMR shots. That would be "remarkably complicated, time-consuming, costly, but more importantly unnecessary," @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social told me:
