lol crocs ... "Queensland councils are jostling to host Olympic rowing as doubts grow over Rockhampton's crocodile-infested Fitzroy River venue for the 2032 Olympic Games."
Fell in love with the Texas Rangers stadium. Air conditioned! Bliss! And the standing-only section was amazing. Preferred them to our seats. Texas won two games over Yankees but lost the third night with Yankees avoiding the sweep with a pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh inning. #TexasRangers
“Sesame Street” and its sequel, “The Electric Company,” were, “with lapses, the most intelligent and important programs in television,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

I have VERY IMPORTANT news about the Supreme Court of Oklahoma: Those green curtains aren’t merely decorative. Each justice does, in fact, emerge from the curtain behind their chair before oral arguments.

Hi friends,

What a game. What a contest. I think it’s the greatest sporting match up in sporting history.
Even if you think Matt Wallner is a pretty good hitter, you're still probably underestimating him. The outfielder's combination of on-base skills and fearsome power put him an the most elite class of offensive players. #mntwins #twins #minnesota

What was the initial reason for the goggles? And did you keep them because you had to, or did you like the look?

I got them because I was legally blind. I wore em because of that for a few years. After a few years I got Lasik surgery, but I kept wearing them without the perscription lenses because I had grandparents and parents come up to me and thank me for wearing them. Their kids and grandkids would get made fun of by wearing protective eyewear playing sports, so I kept wearing them to help make it cool to wear goggles for the kids.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:djvu2vj7yozxcgbaczvkftre/bafkreigxngjnx4xu3pttfzneiqu7ghobufz2r2rjaljft5v27dvf4l6nai)
