Historian of evolutionary biology and scientific racism who has somehow turned into a historian of the physical sciences. Expect lots of cat pictures and general miscellany. Baltimore.
The weird thing is, despite all the trade shenanigans, this is the most normal game of baseball I think I've seen them play all year
Ok, say what you will about Povich, that pickoff was pretty
NOBLETIGER watch has been canceled, thank you for your attention to this matter

Regulations are written in blood. We will suffer and they won't care, because they all have their private jets
Reuters Legal@legal.reuters.com · 23h agoThe Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday proposed giving airlines flexibility in requirements for emergency medical kits on commercial flights.
The best thing this team can do to improve their now-nonexistent playoff chances would be to ride Mike Elias out of town on a rail. The morale boost would be real.
Andy Kostka@afkostka.bsky.social · 2d agoMike Elias said the Orioles are still aiming at the postseason this season. "We did not dismantle the team," he said. But he acknowledged there was a healthy amount of selling with 2027 in mind.
Elias is definitely making trades under the assumption that there will be no 2027 season.
Mike Elias stop selling to divisional rivals challenge difficulty level impossible
God, Adley's first game back at OPACY in a Red Sox uniform is going to suuuuuck
Gonna wake up tomorrow to find out that Camden Yards itself has been traded for a half dozen high-A prospects
Ron Daniels contributing to this self-destructive nonsense is no surprise. At the height of the COVID pandemic, he couldn’t fathom why historians and anthropologists couldn’t access archival records or conduct fieldwork at home.
Jacob T. Levy@jacobtlevy.bsky.social · 2d agoFour university presidents, "Andrew Martin at Washington University in St. Louis, Michael Crow at Arizona State University, Douglas Girod at the University of Kansas, & Ronald Daniels at the Johns Hopkins University" collaborated in the latest attack on higher ed. www.chronicle.com/liveblog/her...
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
I would really love the WPBL to be a huge success, but for that to happen, the people running the broadcast need to get shit like the scorebug working consistently
Lmao Maybelle Blair absolutely reading the Mets for filth while thanking them for sending a plane for her to use
I should clarify... if they trade Adley to an AL East competitor, I will probably go to angry before I get to sad. But I will still be sad while being angry. He's one of the most likeable athletes I've ever seen.
Jer@oriolesfan2000.bsky.social · 3d agoSeems pretty clear they're going to trade Rogers. And I've gone from positive Adley was safe to really nervous in the last few days. If Adley goes... I will go straight to raw sadness. There will be time for anger, but sadness will be my first stop.
I hope there's eventually a Baltimore (or Seattle or Portland) team to root for, but until then, I'm with the Firebells

The OMB thing alone is a huge, huge win
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 3d agostripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive
Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:
I stg, the day they fire Mike Elias we're going to see parties on the streets of Baltimore like It's Happened
This may sound radical but "games are shit" is actually the median opinion of every Gamer.
