It’s hard consuming the daily news without getting frustrated, but I have found listening to @hcrichardson.bsky.social helps me keep things in perspective.

Former teacher turned number cruncher. St. Louis sports fan. A chihuahua’s favorite human.
FIFA’s World Cup plan is just another example of why professional sports are becoming harder to be a fan of. Every decision seems to be made in the name of profit. From access to games, merchandise, and now the actual playing of the game(s).
Trump lost every single lawsuit he brought forward about the 2020 presidential election. He's a sore loser and a failed president.
At least St. Louis and SKC know how to acknowledge a rivalry match. Both in their primary kits. #MLS #AllForCITY
Brandon@brandoncrouch.bsky.social · 3w agoThere are some things about #MLS that are too North American sports coded. Montreal and Toronto are playing. Should be a classic blue vs red match, but Toronto is wearing white.

I never watch the Home Run Derby, but Jordan Walker and Munetaka Mirakami are appointment viewing. #STLCards
If political campaigns included a do not contact me option on their donations page, I think they would get more donations. I hesitate to donate to candidates because I don’t want the 7 daily texts and 15 daily emails that follow.
Messi is the Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan etc etc of our current time. #WorldCup #Argentina
I feel bad for all the people coming to the United States for the #WorldCup that have been told by social media that Raising Canes is amazing food. Most overrated place, ever.
Mamdani’s New York is having the kind of run that you normally only see in a montage at the end of a Disney Channel movie
What’s going on in my life? I have recently taken on a pet house spider. Usually she hangs out on the window, but she made a pass for my coffee this morning.
If the #Knicks lose this series, New Yorkers might tear down Trump Tower with their bare hands. #NBAFinals
The $SPCX IPO makes absolutely no sense to me. Where is the profit going to come from?
Having a nice little Sunday. Libby is dealing and Jason Benetti is the best play-by-play man in baseball. Pujols and Rizzo are good too. #STLCards #MLB #SundayNightBaseball
Wow, I didn’t think they’d actually do it. Have to wonder how much the death of Diego Jota affected the club this year. #YNWA

Remember DJT blaming Obama on Iran? NYT reports that the proposed US-Iran deal includes a $300B reconstruction fund for Iran, which is referred to as an international "investment fund," facilitated by the US. Iran, reportedly, demands "reparations" to end the war.
Recession indicator: Restaurants downsizing to food trucks.
they should invent software updates that make the software better over time instead of worse
It looks more and more like John Mozeliak was the problem. #stlcards
Dumb that it needs to be said, but I'm adding this line to the copyright page in all my books: This novel is the product of human imagination and craftsmanship.
I’m a big fan of songs where the band is just jamming. Sometimes lyrics are overrated.
I know I’ve reached middle-aged because last night, while on a walk, I noted a red-winged black bird posted up in the exact same spot they were last year.
Future Headline: Kevin O’Leary pitches failed data center project as the retirement community of the future. —Amazon buys into the project for a new package sorting center.
Eduard Löwen scores immediately after coming on for his return to MLS 🥹
I’m done with this STL/SEA match. Hard to believe this is a professional soccer team. #AllForCITY
The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face: Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences. For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.
