Neighbor smoked some more pork shoulders. So I turned them into mild and spicy chiles verde with yellow rice, and refried beans for our Labor Day cookout. Made Ward 8s to drink.

Former organizer. He/him. Has a theory of change. "The situation is in charge." "A dark cloud showing up to the ballpark every day..." Not from Kauai. I just had a standoff with a gang of feral roosters one time.
What if they made the whole plane out of catcher?

50/50 call whether "you have to block him or you have to read him" will be football or social media commentary
Manuel Excel@colintj.bsky.social · 2d agoEither you have to block him or you have to read him. The Rhino tips run and the EMLOS is assuming no read. Gets the kill. Incompletion later and we’re staring down the barrel.
I saw Beck forget the lyrics to "Debra" and have to start over.
Robert Loerzel@robertloerzel.bsky.social · 2d agoI saw Tom Waits telling a crowd not to clap along: “Leave it to the professionals.” I nearly got clobbered by an Arcade Fire microphone stand. I saw the Kinks in Champaign, Illinois, do a cover of the Bob Dylan-Carl Parkins song “Champaign, Illinois.”
Murakami is the only player in the Statcast era with 2 over the wall HRs with at least a 48 degree launch angle let alone 2 in the same season.
The list of over-the-wall HRs with a launch angle over 48 degrees coming into tonight. Matt Olson added one in June. NB: Avisail Garcia had a 51 degree launch angle inside the park HR.
Lake Gulf of Not Larry@iamnotlarry.bsky.social · 2d agoA home run on a 49 degree launch angle?
Guy who's only seen the 2012 White Sox season. Getting real 2012 White Sox season vibes here.
AJ@airtrafficaj.bsky.social · 2d agoSuper glad Getz didn’t waste any of the prospect pool upgrading the starting pitching.
This is the 10th time Colson Montgomery & Munetaka Murakami have homered in the same game this year, tied for most in White Sox history by a duo, with: 2026 Murakami/Vargas 2023 Luis Robert Jr./Jake Burger 2006 Jim Thome/Jermaine Dye 2003 Frank Thomas/Carlos Lee
Seasons with 3+ players with 30+ home runs, White Sox history: 2026 Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Munetaka Murakami 2008 Jermaine Dye, Carlos Quentin, Jim Thome 2006 Joe Crede, Dye, Paul Konerko, Thome 2004 Konerko, Carlos Lee, José Valentín
Munetaka Murakami has the first 30-HR rookie season by a Japanese-born player 🇯🇵

EdTV and The Truman Show are outdated because the shows within the show weren't self-produced by people getting 1099s from a streaming service.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · last wk.It’s striking how almost everybody who actually makes a living as an influencer now seems to be completely miserable + on the point of total breakdown from having to churn out content essentially every waking hour (as that’s what the algo requires). Living like that is inhuman.
Great single player campaign with a compelling story inspired by The Black Company series. No resource or base management. Fun physics engine. Free lobby-based multiplayer. Committed mapmaking and mod community.
Sophia_Nyx 🐰@sophianyx.bsky.social · 3d agoName your fav game made before 2000.
The White Sox had 3 hitters sitting on 29 HRs entering the night. Vargas and Montgomery have both already clocked their 30th.
When Kyle Teel comes back it'll be like trading for a catcher.
The backlash against generated slop food ads is interesting because so much of the food advertising from before was also artificial trickery. It looked more convincing, tho.

Importantly, the exclusion is happening because they feel immune from public opinion rather than because exclusion is popular. They've won power for now but they haven't won the argument.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 5d agoA bit more than a decade ago, Florida passed a bipartisan law, sponsored by a woman who'd go on to be DeSantis' Lieutenant Governor, which offered in-state tuition to Dreamers and other undocumented youth. It's depressing how quickly the pendulum swung towards total exclusion.
Lower court judges are like "the government is a bunch of BSers who can't be trusted." Supreme Court majority is like "that's fine as long as we like the lies."
Quinta Jurecic@qjurecic.bsky.social · 5d agointeresting twist: DOJ argued that the plaintiffs lack standing bc their babies wouldn't be denied citizenship, but judge rules that the govt's past actions (eg insisting random venezuelans were members of tren de aragua) were so slapdash that the plaintiffs rightly fear they could be scooped up

Voter suppression and intimidation aren't new threats. Election protection groups already have experience with the playbook. If you're concerned about it, join a local organization already working on it. They need people to help with voter education, poll watching, and rapid response.
I'm guessing that Jake Rogers proposes growing mustaches as a way to solve most problems, and is thrilled that somebody finally took him up on it. soxmachine.com/2026/09/spar...
Spare Parts: For better or worse, it's mustache month for the White Sox - Sox Machine
Even if the eventual return of Kyle Teel forces Jake Rogers out of the White Sox’s catching mix at some point this month, he’ll have made his mark on the season in two ways: A bunch of White Sox sport...

I wish 1lb of chiles was more chiles. The grocery store didn't have any more.
