Jersey guy in VA. Have done a lot of political news Beware: lots of sports posts. Especially baseball & soccer. Opinions are mine. I also have a newsletter!: https://im-curious-roey.beehiiv.com/subscribe

One of my favorite museums I have ever been to. Just spent a solid couple hours there afterward picking the brains of former flight attendants for stories it seemed like they waited years for anyone to ask about. A delightful spot.

Also the TWA Museum at the downtown airport they fly out of is one of the best hidden gems of KC—we got a special tour at Airliners International in 2024 and they pack a lot of cool stuff into a small space. Ex-TWA flight attendants do the tours.

I need people to understand that for the last half decade that there’s been an ecosystem of trans folks in sports media who have worked unpaid to serve as experts for context, sources and educators on what it’s like for trans athletes, in hopes of potential bylines and contacts. That’s dried up.

I hate sounding like a conspiracy person but there’s a reason that this Sophie Cunningham thing is on like day 7 of discourse and how there’s absolutely very little trans staff writers driving the news coverage of it.

Realizing I haven't mentioned it in a while and you may not know it, but I am currently unemployed, having been laid off a few weeks ago. I'm looking for jobs but it can be tough. If you know anyone hiring a producer, writer, comms/PR person who can do it all, let them know I'm available!

Trinity Rodman walked out with Taylor, the team's honorary captain for the day. Taylor has survived Spindle soft cell tissue carcinoma and was given the honor as part of Cancer Awareness Day. Looked like they had a great time!

Feels easy to look at the news and lay out a platform that's like: - No more killing in the street - Jail the people who do - End the ungovernable agency doing it and put in a humane system And if you're really feeling ambitious, can even promote immigration as a return to "Ellis Island borders."

This is the problem with the idea that Dems can't go on offense on immigration. It's not okay for Collins to have a clear field on TV to sell herself as a moderate on ICE. CNN has Trump 22 points underwater on this. Two other polls have Ds *tied with the GOP* on it! newrepublic.com/article/2138...

Wrestling fans, feel free to follow Chris's thread here! But I'm gonna expand it to the war on archives in general. Everything from no-disc video games to TV shows/films constantly pulled from streaming to the lawsuits trying to destroy things like the Internet @archive.org... it sucks to see.

How WWE completely fucked over the fans on the massive tape library they had available to everyone for over a decade. It's ruined now and never coming back and some news dropped today that basically ensures that

Sad one but: Len Koenecke getting cut from the 1935 Dodgers and getting so drunk on a flight to NY that he had to be tied to the seat and kicked off. Then he chartered a flight to the minor league team in Buffalo, hijacked the plane, and got killed by the pilot hitting him with a fire extinguisher.

The Dodgers were in St. Louis preparing for a series against the Cardinals when Koenecke was informed that his season was over. Koenecke caught an American Airlines flight back to New York City via Chicago and Detroit. During the flight, he drank a quart (946 ml) of whiskey and became very drunk. After Koenecke had harassed other passengers and struck a stewardess, the pilot had to sit on him to restrain him while he was shackled to his seat. He was removed unconscious from the flight in Detroit. After sleeping on a chair in the airport, he chartered a flight to Buffalo in the hopes of rejoining the Bisons. En route, he had a disagreement with the pilot and a passenger, and attempted to take control of the aircraft.

In order to avoid a crash, Koenecke was hit over the head with a fire extinguisher by both the pilot, William Joseph Mulqueeney, who had left his controls, and the other passenger, Irwin Davis. Now lost in Canadian airspace, Mulqueeney made an emergency landing at Long Branch Racetrack in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada where it was found that Koenecke had died of a cerebral hemorrhage. The two men were charged with manslaughter but were found not liable by a coroner's jury soon after.

Let's remember some Baseball Injuries! I'll go first: Glenallen Hill having a nightmare about spiders that was so bad he fell out of bed and through a glass table

Just hit me, if people need an idea for a sign to carry to basketball games in the near future that there’s an easy acrostic: We say No Bigotry Allowed

And this one is final, Gotham 1-0 over Bay. The April game in NJ was 3-0 Gotham. 21 saves for Silkowitz on 24 shots on target (plus an own goal), 0 goals to back her up, 0 points out of it. Has to be *so* frustrating. But good lord these stats are bonkers. Over FOUR AND A HALF goals prevented!

Jordan Silkowitz stats tonight: 9 saves, 1 goal conceded, 2.87 expected goals on target faced, 1.87 goals preventedJordan Silkowitz stats in the road game against Gotham: 12 saves, 3 goals conceded (one was a Bay own goal), 4.71 expected goals on target faced, 2.71 goals prevented.

At save number 9 tonight, I think it's safe to say that Gotham must truly hate to see Jordan Silkowitz coming. 21 saves and counting for Bay in her two games against them.
