Angel Genao is the first player in Cleveland franchise history with 4 hits in his MLB debut. Unreal.
And the Genao went 4-for-4, the first Cleveland player to ever do that in their debut, and got a run in.
the guardians were 2-for-10 with RISP before Patrick Bailey lined a game-tying single to right field. 4-4 in the 7th.
Legit I cannot believe that Arias was DFA’d (non baseball people, he got fucking fired). I wonder if any team will make a trade for him… probably not.
The Guardians have officially promoted Angel Genao. Gabriel Arias has been DFA'd in a corresponding move.
I still don't understand the "echo chamber" thing. But then again I am ancient enough to remember chat rooms and hyper specific community message boards. But also the devs crying about this literally gave us the ability to insulate from stuff we don't wanna see? YOU made the sandwich
"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
Jo Adell, Foster Griffin, Nathaniel Lowe, and a filthy Craig Yoho changeup?! Cleveland actually made real deadline moves. But with new bats in town, who gets the short end of the stick on the 26-man roster? #CleGuardians #GuardsBall

Went on a nice 17k bike ride to Tynehead. Beautiful. Lots of bike paths. Lots of people standing in the middle of bike paths on their phones.
Real talk: My Bluesky account is my most popular social media account, ever. It's been a significant benefit to me in tangible ways. But if they think *I* think they're irreplaceable? Their very existence proves they're wrong. I peaced-out on a 60k Twitter. I'll drop this place too, if it tries it
Everyone was talking about the Odyssey so we re watched Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
We live in the same building as our landlord, who is a very sweet man. Sometimes he or I pick up the mail, and I needed a place to put his in the short hallway between the units. I used a basket we had, and he called it the “Magic Basket” because things appear in it.
Escaping a sweep by Arizona on the arms of the bullpen is peak GuardsBall. We picked up an arm but will we get a bat tomorrow? God I hope so! #GuardsBall #CleGuardians #ClevelandGuardians

That changeup is disgusting. Good god, that’s a hell of a pitch! #CleGuardians
Craig Yoho set down Tim Tawa with a sweet changeup for his first Guardians strikeout.
I totally called Skubal going to the Dodgers. This is why we need a cap and a floor. The Dodgers are making it so it doesn’t matter what anyone else does, they have the money for pretty much anything they want. Meanwhile… anyone got a hitter who likes Cleveland? #MLB
Those numbers are actually really close to the live ones as well. There was also a reduction in queries (700-ish to 10-ish) via transients, caching, scheduling, and a lot of crying into my code.

I finally got a new GP in Canada! Woo! BC takes forever and a day, but I found a nice lady nearish by who was totally unflinching at my status. I go in for a full work up in two weeks. Who wants to bet I forget I don't pay at the gate?
Lock-in can make retention look better for a while, but forced retention and earned loyalty aren't the same thing. Open systems preserve customer choice, and choice is part of trust. #OpenWeb aarondcampbell.com/2026/07/open...

Open systems give customers more than flexibility. They preserve agency, trust, and the ability to keep choosing a product instead of being trapped by it.

Whew. Studying a lot of statistics layouts to understand what makes information “pop” is hard!

imagine getting dunked on by Playboy for being weird about women’s bodies
What are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...
There is no good faith concern. None. There are only people who never gave a shit about trans women in sports being manipulated into thinking there are good faith concerns and then normal people. You can't have good faith concerns about a few dozen people playing fucking sports. Shut up and stop it
enough of this shit
I have no clue who needs to see this but start writing again.
A grand slam, a shut out, and a bunch of slap hitting shit goblins results in the Guards bringing the Ohio Cup home. Not that anyone cares about that. #CleGuardians #ClevelandGuardians #GuardsBall
Hot and Humid in Central Ohio for the Cup
