Talking to myself about movies, politics, and the Arizona Diamondbacks
For my non-sports and/or Australian friends: the #Dbacks can still make the playoffs. With three games to play, they need to win two more games than the Phillies. If the Phillies go 0-3, Dbacks must go 2-1 or 3-0. If Phillies go 1-2, Dbacks must go 3-0. If Phillies go 2-1, Dbacks are out.

10 minutes watching another team's broadcast and realizing how much I hate Steve Berthiume's corniness. #Dbacks broadcast all schtick.
DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

I have turned on the Philly game. May God have mercy on my soul.
In other baseball news, Louis Areaez injured his ankle. Gabriel Moreno may have a shot of clinching the batting title.
We're at the Mercury game. At the end of the forst quarter, the Mercury have scored 18 points. Aja Wilson, of the Aces has scored 17 points. By herself.
Apparently there is a scenario where if the Rangers and Astros lose out and the Mariners win out, the Mariners win the AL West* which is really fucking funny. *If there was any justice, the Dbacks would play in the AL West, solving most of my fucking problems.
Let's talk possibilities for the games today. Dbacks must win and Padres must lose. This puts us 3 games back of the Padres with three games to play against the Padres. Sweep and we're in. If Padres win, Phillies must lose to keep hope alive. If we lose and Philly loses, we stay 3 games back.
I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower
I'm going to a basketball game with @forestocean.bsky.social and my sisters are worried she might murder me. Come on. If someone was going to tempt me out of my house in order to harm me, they wouldn't use BASKETBALL as the reason.
$230 American dollars in this economy to watch two episodes of One Tree Hill with a cast panel when I do not care a whit about this show. I love my sisters.
Watching Ru Paul's Drag Race for the first time. Really. It's America's Next Top Model meets Project Runway, how have I avoided this for 20 years?
Wilber’s attorney: “Wilber has a bullet lodged near his spine and is losing feeling on the left side of his body.” #AbolishICE @DoorDash
Ohhhh we're doing black people fleeing to Canada again.
Pursued by ICE, some Haitians in the U.S. are fleeing across the northern border to seek safety in Canada, @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports. He travels the secret routes through forests that some are taking to escape deportation:
gavin newsom you will NOT be president. you will fade into obscurity. you will be cursed to always have a rock in your shoe. your bed will never be truly cozy. your pasta will never be al dente.
"Gov Gavin Newsom over the weekend vetoed legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state." He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions". www.ebar.com/story/170505...
You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?
Erika Ishii's inclusion is not a "controversial announcement". This is elevating weird gamergaters' boring whining as deserving of attention. There's no "sides" to this, there's no "issue": It's a talented performer who's done nothing wrong being hated for who they are.
Amnesia Fortnight burned through stretch goals before a controversial announcement
guy who’s been repeatedly hit in the head and completely lost his memory and higher cognition: How could Governor Newsom DO this???
The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...
Got off the plane and went immediately I to a DND session. True nerd stuff.
