This planet is run by crazy people. Remember what they have to do to get where they are. Their perspective is so narrow, so...brief. A few years. In the best of them a few decades. They care only about the time they are in power.

Just wait til Puffy is busted for mooning somebody and Duffy starts a record label (on the moon, of course)

Carl Sagan explains the 4th dimension

Eno + DVR have both been subjected to my rants on Prior and Inverted-Ws… tho this was a long time ago 😉

Don’t forget the Brad Hawpe line drive that shattered Prior’s elbow!

Someday, it will be

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. - Carl Sagan

You know you’re getting hard-hitting analysis when 73k “falls short” of the 110k expected but is “right in line with expectations”…

(PS producing 34% less than expected output is decidedly not in line with expectations - ask your stock broker about that one, or maybe Tesla shareholders)

I’m sorry, but this is so weak.

Gonna take your ball and go home? Because the mean kids are not playing fair?

SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!

Just a year ago, she was chosen as the leader of the resistance … but now it’s too icky?!

Way to lead 🙄 thanks for playing

It’s time to get ruthless🔥

If California holds a special election on redistricting, I’m voting “yes” for new maps. And I promise you I’m bringing friends and family with me to vote.

The Supreme Court already made it clear it’s fine with gerrymandering. So screw it. LFG.

…and this dude wants to get into politics?

GTFOH

“Do what your Boss tells you” is not gonna land in 2026

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Wait… there are still A’s fans?

(I thought we all left)

I’m sorry for your untimely loss.

If it’s any consolation, our Rickey vigil still burns bright at my house.

Heroes die hard, but in death, they can shine brighter than ever.

"A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

maybe the worst call in baseball history

…because they’ve been overworked their entire lives and have little to show for it

I’ve been to 1 game in Fenway in my life, and it was incredible.

Nothing meaningful happened baseball-wise, but I’ll never forget watching A-Rod get booed every time he touched the ball… when taking infield.

Fenway is special.

Since RBI became official in 1920, only one MLB player has had, over the course of his entire career (same game or not), a game with 4+ HR a game with 5+ XBH a game with 6+ hits a game with 6+ runs a game with 8+ RBI That one player is Nick Kurtz. He did it all tonight.

Insane

Bite the head off the snake… JDV is no head, and he only cosplays as a snake… Topple the king and his whole house of cards comes tumbling down

Peeta is brainwashed by the Capitol

Counter: Blink-182 was always classic rock…

or maybe classic pop…

I dunno, but they surely weren’t punk

FLASHBACK: “I am a goal for those people. If I’m not up there untaxed… they’ve got nothing to dream about.”

Colbert was incredible. Since CBS doesn’t appreciate him maybe he should go back to this genius character? We could sure use it now. 🇺🇸

Jon Stewart nailed it. 🎯

…and there are plenty of humans holding tiny screwdrivers, as manufacturing UCLs has become one of America’s fastest-growing industries in 2045

This is how it’s done, No Bull 💩, No drama and No Grandstanding!

I have been to Idaho a lot over the last year (~5x), and Bodhi’s have been just about the only positive on each trip.
