I'm officially old enough to be the younger players' mother. Didier Fuentes is 3 months younger than my oldest. I never felt so old as when they talked about his age when he debuted last year. This is 44, I guess?

There's something vaguely horrifying about writing about a trade for a player who was born when I was in my 30s.

Just a reminder to my fellow wht Dems, if maga is successful in stripping Black/Brown voters of their voting rights, we will lose our country forever. This is not hyperbole. Do not fool yourself in thinking that this is a Black/Brown issue - it's a DEMOCRACY issue. Full stop.

If every other demographic in U.S. politics voted the way Black people have ALWAYS voted, especially Black women, this joint would look like The United Federation of Planets by now. Leave us alone.

I don’t know how to convince anyone of this, but the hundreds or thousands of words many publications run below the headline aren’t decorative. Often they contain nuance that doesn’t fit into ten words.

Just a couple of Braves fans celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the last day they were single at Truist Park yesterday. 😂 Today we celebrate 20 years of us with a tour of Truist Park, Waffle House, and another game. This Oregonian was not at all prepared for the humidity btw.

I GET TO WATCH THE BRAVES AT THEIR HOME FIELD FOR FIRST TIME EVER IN THE 36 YEARS I'VE BEEN A FAN TODAY!!!!! I'm so jacked for this trip. Hubs and I are celebrating 20 years tomorrow, and the only better way to celebrate would be a tropical vacation of some sort.

At least there will always be sunsets.

It's distinctly possible colleges and universities sending out ads to high school kids are keeping USPS afloat. This is less than a year's worth, and doesn't take into account the emails and texts my kid has gotten. (Fun fact: the 1st hbd text she got was from a college. 😂)

Before sports betting was legalized everywhere, I was neutral about it, thinking that it was a personal choice. Now that it exists everywhere I have been radicalized against it like a 19th century suffragette

i worked in several casinos and later for an online sportsbook. the best advice i can give you is to stay the hell away from all of it.

I don’t think AI is the future and I’m 100% basing this on how nobody likes those kitchen trash cans with the powered lids.

This is what the Trump administration wants: violent, unstable men behind the triggers of guns aimed at immigrants and white people who oppose the regime. It was always the plan.

ICE officer who shot Colombian man in Maine has history of threatening behavior and mental illness, family and court documents say.

Aww. It looks like someone's Hollywood star needs a chain link fence, scaffolding, a stripey curtain-tarp, and two or three National Guard soldiers protecting it.

You ever get around to completing the framing of a piece you finished a year ago, only to realize you fucked up in a very noticeable way? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Back when our skies were Orange during the Santiam Canyon fires of 2020 it blew my mind how many people in my neighborhood still went running. There's so much smoke it's literally blocking out the sun, what makes you think those are safe conditions to heavily breathe in?

i talked to several pollution + health experts about the wildfire smoke blanketing much of the northeast right now, and everyone agreed that even able-bodied adults may want to take some precautions today!!

2 hours of thunderstorms at 10 PM: awesome, fun, beautiful, gimme more! 2 hours of thunderstorms at 4 AM: shut uuuuuuuuup we get it, you're a powerful and natural phenomenon SHEESH

MAGA Christians should be furious the White House insinuated Trump is the 2nd coming. Instead they'll gargle his balls about it.

That’s a lot of pronouns to suggest Trump is God.

Harry Kane scored 6 goals for England in the World Cup. After he admitted he went golfing with Donald Trump he did not score again the rest of the tournament, and England are out. The Trump sports curse remains undefeated.

It’s LITERALLY a Black and white answer.

KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree that it's unacceptable for federal agents to forcibly enter someone's home without a warrant and drag them onto the street without checking that they even have the right person? BLANCHE: Well, it depends on the circumstances. It's not a black and white answer

I'm an adult, no one can tell me not to finish this Marie Callenders cherry crunch pie by myself in 2 days.

you fucked up a perfectly good rock star is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

Time to buy all the food scented candles so I can imagine eating them safely

The fact that I have to listen to Phillies fans, theeeeee most obnoxious fan base in all of baseball and maybe all of American sports, whilst watching the All-Star game is pissing me off.
