Great way to end Verlander’s last game! Walk-off send-off for an HOF pitcher.

Ada Lovelace Day@adalovelaceday.bsky.social · 2w agoAda Lovelace Day is coming up again on 13 Oct and, as you know, these days it is almost entirely unfunded. I've been invited to speak at or attend a few events, all of which I've said yes to because the mission won't further itself. I'm also still writing my report...
What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it?

Alan Ritchson (Reacher) would crush it as Dungeon Crawler Carl. That is all. The whole Skeet.
The first thing I saw Tim Curry in was the The Worst Witch TV movie A fun little outing with pretty bad 80s special effects, but Curry's Halloween song is amazing He always gave his best performance and *never* phoned it in

I found this poem written in Norwegian by a woman called Turid Ølberg. I have used Google translate. 😅
Red ropes and Mike and Ike’s. I hold the M&Is up to the screen to see what color they are. #lemonflavordcandyissatansgrratestpunishment

Boy, it sure would've been great if humanity had addressed this problem when we knew about it. Almost like our species isn't up to the task of being planet-bearers. Anyway, back to trying not to die outside because the township code requires the lawn to be cut.
jp@jpesq.bsky.social · 2mo agoI probably said this before, but in high school, I used to catch both ends of a double header in summer ball. I did 2- and 3-a-days for my college football team. Yes I'm old now, and I'm on SSRIs, and I pounded a Cutwater before mowing the lawn, but THIS IS NOT THE SAME HEAT I GREW UP WITH
They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍
Sorry to hear about the job rejection. The job market is tough. Have to focus on controlling what you can control. Whenever there was an opportunity I really wanted and got turned down for I have always found something that was much better! You got this!
Yesterday was not the best. I got rejected for a job after a few interviews and the Tigers lost. While those are not equal, of course, it did feel a little like punching down. Of the 43 jobs I have applied for in the last three weeks, that was the first one with human contact. Sigh.
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
The lawsuit claims HPD officers violated Lopez’s constitutional rights by extending the traffic stop solely to allow ICE agents time to take him into custody. Proposed class action alleges city has a policy or practice of unlawfully prolonging traffic stops for people w/civil immigration 🧵 1 of 2/
I am pretty sure they will. The sports gods hate me. So when I get publicly negative, they like to make me look bad.
jp@jpesq.bsky.social · 2mo agoDon't let the Tigers get hot!
A few fun cards of the current rookies and guys they probabaly should just pull up as well…
Watching the Giants at a friend’s house, and making new acquaintances:
Reminder - this consultation closes on Tues 4th August! It's really important as many freelance/self-employed folk submit a response as possible I've just done mine - took about 2 hours as I did have a think about my comments (changing them from 'you stupid idiots' to something more palatable)
Tits McGee@scientits.bsky.social · 3mo agoSelf-employed people! Sorry to put a downer on your Sunday, but in case you'd not seen, the Government wants us to pay our tax *monthly* like we're employees or something With the World Cup and all the politics, I'd missed the consultation they put out last month, which is here: 1/
Great trade if it is true. I will miss Skubal, but that is quite the haul. And White would be a non roster invitee next year. Well played. Sad, but well played.
What happens when amateurs and violently-entitled idiots try to reinvent the wheel.
