I was hoping that a richly deserved hundred-year curse would kick in this year but apparently my powers are not fully operational. I will keep trying.

They went when the admin was trying to erase Jackie Robinson's accomplishments. Jackie Robinson who played for the Dodgers although never in LA. So I think they'll be going again.

YouTube video by All Things Comedy Ronald Reagan, Part 1 with Patton Oswalt| The Dollop #400

Oh my god. Please listen to both parts of this podcast. Patton oswalt is the guest so it’s funny and you’ll learn about Reagan who was the devil. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZlR...

Trust me - this game is exciting but it's not the most exciting game ever. It's just that that announcers are insane. Play at the plate. Ball caught in centerfield. That stuff happens in baseball.

Oooh - I've been really good at tuning out the announcers but one of them just mentioned Christy Matthewson and that broke through the noise.

Giving Fellini for me.

As a Mets fan, I thought that was just strategy.

Dude gives up homers.

Yeah. Did not want that. BUT a tie game sets up a great bottom of the ninth. Hoping it stays tied.

These World Series commercials have been staggeringly bad. Like 1980's used car dealership bad. Truly weird.

Yeah, and the ppl who will lose hours or jobs and the places they'd have spent money in. Ripples.

Also - the economy will suffer so we're all "on food stamps" in very real way. Withdrawing that $8B from the economy for November is going to contract it by between $13B and $14B #multiplier. So while I appreciate the "I care about others" message, there's another reason to fund SNAP.

They did the same to food stamps (baseless, racist attacks) and they won. Now is our chance to win. The economy and reality are on our side. Advocates need to be smart and we need to speak up.

Here we go. This is exactly what they did to food stamps - baseless, racist attacks - and they won. We can not let them do the same to SNAP. The economy and reality are on our side. We just need to speak up.

If you were writing a fictional account of a country collapsing and you named one of the principal engineers of the collapse Oz, your editor would tell you to take a nap and try again in the morning. All this to say, I demand a re-write.

Are my Mets being dragged into this?

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

After decades of weaponized stigma and racist lies about “Food Stamps,” the truth is breaking through. SNAP is now seen as an affordable lifeline connected to healthy food, fed kids, and dignity. This moment is flipping the script. Advocates can not let that window close.

Everything she is saying is true. I’m in grocery distribution and if sales were to slow, it will affect my employees getting 40 + hours during our busiest time of the year. Our case count is already down from last yr. It also means prices will increase. It will only hurt all Americans!

Why do you feel like you should tell ppl how to process grief, anger, and fear? Just scroll by or block. Like I’m blocking you.

Normalize writing "ballroom" when mentioning whatever is being planned for that space next to the White House b/c it is not going to be a ballroom.

Goodnight to everyone except the ppl behind the destruction of JoAnn Fabrics. May you never know a restful night of sleep again.

It’s a cross not a crucifix.

They’ll fix it soon after 11/1/25 which is the first day ppl can shop for coverage at the ACA exchanges. Huge damage will be done re: ppl dropping coverage due to sticker shock which the GOP wants. Then they’ll turn around and say they saved the day.

NPR is doing similar stuff which is why I don’t care that it was defunded and I won’t donate a dime. All they had to add to their report today was “says the Pentagon” and they didn’t.

Trump praises Duterte for 'unbelievable job' cracking down on drugs in the Philippines Trump disclosed that the U.S. has stationed two nuclear submarines around North Korea.

He once talked about how he enjoyed Duterte's practice of extrajudicial killing of suspected drug dealers. Thought that was a great model for addressing drug abuse.

Go Jays.

A few weeks ago, I said that all the stuff that people are doing now to lawfully observe ICE will be a felony by 2026. Since we are ruled by fiat now instead of by law, I guess we're there.
