Overheard passing a group on the stairwell at work: “I’m sure you could ask a construction worker to bury you alive.” Folks, I have lots of questions and not one that I’m sure I want to know the answer to

They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time

cleveland sirens is good because willing following a cleveland sports team is the closest thing to willingly steering your ship into a bunch of rocks to get eaten alive

I don’t know who should be more upset: Texas A&M for not being the “guns” champions or Michigan for not being the “fake court arguing” champions

My totally baseless read of what appears to be an underwhelming return is that A) teams knew the Dodgers were the only team likely to sign him and bid accordingly And/or B) The league is gearing up for a lockout and and weren’t going to break the bank because of that

The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring Tarik Skubal for outfielder Zyhir Hope, right-hander River Ryan and right-hander Brady Smith, sources tell ESPN.

I was a little worried about this one, but am relieved to find that it *doesn’t* look exactly like the little education summary you get for both “Mike cox Michigan high school” and “Mike Duggan high school”

Well, they’ve been telling us over and over about foreigners coming in and taking handouts from the government in wasteful usage of our tax dollars….

As much as it sucked, I’m hoping today’s performance is a cold splash of reality for Scott Harris and he operates accordingly.

Right now, the thing I’m most riled up about: Validating maps is not an easy thing and among other fallacies of trying to validate maps, Google Street View is not a “ground truth”

You've got a captive audience on a plane, and you know they can't open the doors and yeet you out. What subject are you gonna do a 30 minute sermon on?

In the “we might be living in a simulation” files, my now 5 month offset on @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social had me listening to, I kid you not, the Lombardi Instagram episode yesterday I feel unusually well prepared to process today’s news

My reaction to all the LeBron posts filling my feed

Looking forward to feeling like the smartest boy in the room in my fantasy draft only to be reminded over the subsequent 18 weeks that I’m actually a moron

Listen, I know that sometimes we say “There was an incident” without knowing for sure. This time, I can say with 100% confidence: There was an incident

Good morning from the Home Depot parking lot in Livonia, Michigan

Due to a fiasco with my home in the fall, I am very behind on @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social and have been catching up I cannot tell you how very seen I felt by the B1G maps commercial discussion especially the line “The Big Ten is Jeopardy! contestants and aspiring Jeopardy! contestants”

your baseball pitcher name is your grandfather’s first name and the last thing you bought i’ll go first mine’s Dominic Sandals

A funny thing re: Haley Stevens, I was contacted about a month ago by a pollster and because it had a local area code and I was also expecting a contractor to call me I picked up. I essentially told them that I wasn’t convinced she would have the necessary aggression to fight the current regime

This is going to sound weird, but learning that @edsbs.bsky.social is older than me by multiple years is oddly inspiring and I can’t put my finger on why exactly

Trying to imagine how those afflicted with SOSO (Sudden Onset Sports Opinions) would deal with Targeting calls in college football and boy is that fun to picture

Every year around this time I watch Gettysburg, and every year I'm so impressed as to how both Ronald Maxwell and Martin Sheen do a great job making Lee look like an absolute dumbass for four straight hours without being obvious about it.

It's kinda wild to see a baseball player give an actual apology rather than some "I'm sorry you were offended" bullshit

I’m currently engaged in what can only be described as digital archaeology this week, going through a Sharepoint of a defunct team that my team is the closest spiritual successor to. It is an interesting exercise for sure and gives me new appreciation for actual archaeology
