The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

An elementary school class wrote to Ozzie Albies for recommendations for fish for their new class pet

He showed up and taught them how to take care of it, set everything up and gifted them one of his own fish

🥺🥺🥺

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

Pro: will be especially appropriate to wear around Twins games in Fort Myers!
Con: Minimal anonymity as it literally has my name on the sleeve.

Congress Must Act Now More constitutional outrage in Minnesota.

“There are many responses to the Pretti killing to undertake from many quarters. But above all, it’s the immediate responsibility of Congress. It is now a clarion call of a generation. Congress must answer it, swiftly, fully, and fearlessly.”

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I don’t know why this is so hard for people but people you have to repeatedly call and beg to ask them to oppose murder in the streets will never really be on your side

Manny Ramirez stands in uniform in the Red Sox dugout and gazes with seemingly equal parts wonder and amusement at the brown baseball glove on his left hand that is roughly the size of his torso.

Maybe the cap goes with this glove.

This seems a bit challenging as a top split side-by-side arrangement--should be able to use the sub rolls they have on hand for sausages. Maybe a concourse-only option, not in the seating bowl.

I love how often @universalhub.com offers proof that there's no need to be clickbait-y--you can spell the whole story out and folks will still want to click through.

There's a lot to love about the @RedSox Fenway Fest--my own favorite part is always the panel discussions. Nice to see so many smiles!
