I'm over this discourse, but will point out that M@GA-heads consider lying to Congress to be a badge of honor.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 17h agoThis is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”
"I used hydraulic mechanism sounds, recorded magpie songs, lots of real-life elements — broken glass." Anastasia Kristensen talks about Bestarium Sombre, and digging for the strange and finding niches with long attention spans, even in a world of 15-second clips.

Also, the CEO of a company that is harmful to society will be drawn and quartered in the public square. That is just the way the world will have to be.
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · yesterdayNew from 404 Media: a surveillance company is telling cops it wants to add facial recognition to Flock cameras. Flock doesn't do face rec, but that doesn't stop other companies doing it. "This is the way the world is going, the way the world will have to be" www.404media.co/surveillance...

When the COVID lockdowns kept most people inside, the ocean began teeming with life once again due to the lack of power boats plying the near-shore waters. It was a hopeful sign that didn't last long.
Miami New Times @miaminewtimes.com · 4h agoNew research shows Miami’s Biscayne Bay is a vital nursery and refuge for threatened sharks and rays, despite its heavily urbanized surroundings. 🔗 https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/biscayne-bay-is-a-nursery-for-threatened-sharks-and-rays-40588651/
No, thanks. I've been to funerals before.
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle.bsky.social · 3h agoIf you need a brief and happy reprieve from normal life (or at least the harder side of it), come sit in the Marriage Bureau at D.C. Superior Court for a few minutes. Plenty of happiness, despite the bureaucracy. (And sometimes because of it; the workers here are very pleasant!)
I'm sorry we're bad, I'm sorry you're blue, I'm about all the saves our bullpen blew

That was my fault. I had JUST saved this graphic when Nico Hoerner hit that 1B.
I guess with the Craig Stammen connection I'm rooting for the Padres. Plus, Bregman plays for the Cubs so fuck 'em.
Will Harris@sandwichpick.bsky.social · 15h agothere's something incredibly funny about Craig Stammen having the bullpen he has and Craig Counsell having to work with the Cubs pitching staff like a chess grandmaster only getting 6 pawns against Chad BroChill starting with 10 queens

The Braves’ postseason motto is #LetItFly Apparently, the elements are on board with that: Austin Riley’s home run was wind-aided per @weatherapplied.com It was blown out +3 feet. Calm conditions ball hits a foot below the top of the fence.

My opinion is irrelevant, but this seems like a win for Camden Yards, considering those sections were closed fairly often. I'm excited to see this

I wake up with a shot: Aerostats are all lighter than air craft. Dirigibles or airships are aerostats that can be steered and have motive power. A zeppelin is a rigid dirigible, where the lifting envelope has a rigid structure. A blimp has none or almost no supporting structure for its envelope.

Tonight the Red Sox play the Yankees in ... the Bronx, named for the Broncks (and the only one of NYC's five boroughs still using the definite article).
we do have video of Craig Stammen talking about this exact possibility two weeks ago in his very not reassuring way

I was informed last Winter that our ancient Hamilton-Beach can opener needed replacement. As I searched for a replacement I learned that the same model these days weighs about half as much so it tips over with heavier cans and cuts the lid poorly, if at all. So the ancient machine cuts on and on!
Depressed Goblin🇨🇦 🏳️⚧️🌈♿@depressed-goblin.bsky.social · 2d agoI have lost several kitchen items over the years to various fates. Now begins the hardest part. The rest of your life looking for a replacement that never lives up to it. Something will always be wrong. When you lose perfection a small unfillable hole forms in your life.
