Marcus Luther@marcusluther.bsky.social · last yr.I'm starting to realize that a lot of folks (too many?) in education think of "efficiency" as something that helps with learning whereas I'm over here trying to intentionally create friction...
I know National Dog Day was August 26th but figured you'd all still enjoy seeing Griff III aka Gus doing his job so well on campus lately. www.instagram.com/p/DcgrDKBxX-5/
#STLCards have a 2-0 lead against Skubal & the Dodgers, looking for a sweep.

Avi Henriques 🩸@legalizegoblins.bsky.social · 22h agoObsessed with this Moche barn owl jug from 200–500 CE that I came across on the Met website. So expressive and lifelike. IMO the best pottery in the world comes from the ancient indigenous peoples of Peru—if you're not familiar, Moche and Nazca pottery is a great place to start.

Felina wrote a great post about baseball scorekeeping and I love her ideas for how to incorporate all the new events that happen down on that old diamond.
Felina510@felina510.bsky.social · 2d agoI wrote 3k words on why I love scorekeeping and wtf im doing about the MLB rule changes in my book (ABS, Replay, Pitch Clock). Come tell me I'm wrong. Or, better yet, tell me your favorite PEN! felina510.substack.com/p/i-keep-tha...
This, my friends, is science. #STLCards
John LaRue@john-larue21.bsky.social · yesterdayAlright, folks, since his call-up and subsequent series so far in LA, Thomas Saggese has proven that the Cardinals navy blue road hats are better than the red road hats. Check it out, with math! Also including league average...
I'm still thrilled the #STLCards beat the Dodgers last night when Yamamoto was on the mound for LA and we threw a bullpen game of eight pitchers against them. Baseball, man, you just never know.

feeling unexpectedly emotional as we visit saerbeck, a town of just 7200 in central germany that formed a climate municipality. they produce 4.5x the electricity they need, and have developed a whole array of climate solutions. one of them? a climate action curriculum that starts in kindergarten.
the literal position of the trump administration is that any school that has any more than a smattering of black students is engaged in illegal racial discrimination against whites www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/b...
Trump Moves to Strip Tax Exemption From Schools That Aid Minority Students (Gift Article)
The Treasury Department released rules that would prevent schools with race-based programs from qualifying for tax-exempt status, a threat to both higher education and other private schools.

I want to ride the everyone mocks Seth Moulton train until the end of the line
Maybe Joshua Báez taught Saggese something about homers. Or maybe it's Cardinal Devil Magic. #STLCards
Lázaro Montes made his MLB debut for Seattle last night in Boston and had an RBI single and a home run. After the homer, he and Randy Arozarena played the Trident like a guitar lol 😂 🔱
That's a winner! Cardinals absolutely go berserk against the Dodgers hitting everything in sight en route to a 13-8 victory. Leo Bernal got his first big league hit and RBIs. They go for the series win tomorrow night. Sleep well #STLCards fans!
How in the world does Saggese hit two home runs in the same game against the Dodgers? Maybe we're in an alternate dimension... #STLCards
