Heading to bed. Lennox has speech therapy tomorrow (he's really made so much progress,). I want to do a bunch of sewing tomorrow and I have therapy

My singer is a "fancy" that can do it's own bobbins.

And it wasn't a question, it was a statement.

Less than two years ago, an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza city merited a multi-day news cycle, with international outrage forcing Israel to issue denials and launch an absurd but ultimately successful attempt to muddy the waters with dubious theories about Gazans bombing themselves.

Good rule of thumb: Don't pinch hit with Miles Straw..l

Mason Fluharty you beauty.

Outstanding

If Fluharty gets this done, he deserves a raise

This home plate umpire is really terrible. Inconsistent and a lot of missed calls.

There was absolutely no reason for Ohtani to come up in the bottom of the 9th.

They should have sent out Fluharty or Nance to start the inning

If Ohtani wins this game for the Dodgers then I'm going to be extremely mad.

Fire everybody who suggested letting Hoffman go back out for the 9th.

Fire everybody for letting him go back out and walk the first guy on 4 pitches

If they put Hoffman back in for the 9th then everybody in Jays management deserves to be fired.

I know they don't really have options. But he looked really bad that inning.

Also, I completely failed to ignore the baseball

Really liked the way Treinen attacked Guerrero and Barger. More opposing pitchers should do that.

I honestly do not understand why the liberal mind draws the line at starvation and not massacre.

Fuck off with the walks, Blue Jays. Get outside. Get the win.

Okay I'm going to try to ignore the Blue Jays for an hour and hopefully good things happen

The Israeli military has murdered the entire Aljazeera Arabic team. They bombed their tent outside a hospital.

THIS CANNOT GO ON.

We are sad to report that longtime Blue Peter Editor Biddy Baxter has died at the age of 92. We salute a true pioneer, who navigated changing times in the television industry with instinct, tenacity and style.

Israel is clearly and obviously killing people who are documenting their genocide and if you think that’s okay I think you may be a bit conflicted

Pretty much the only qualification in my view is that you object to the state sanctioned murder of your colleagues
