Mr. OK Jazz (James Hussein Catchpole)

Two new profiles up at tokyojazzsite .com The perfect jazz kissa Altec and Crescent 🎵

It’s incredible how effective he and his team are at communicating. And in comparison, how truly awful the ‘established’ Democrats like Schumer, Harris and the Clintons are

Apparently there was a Gatsby party at Mar a Lago, while Trump is trying to kick 42 million off SNAP

The wonderful old-Twitter experience of a global group chat during a live event or breaking news is a thing you can't do on Threads bc of its trash algorithms and you can't do on X bc it's a Nazi propaganda weapon, but it's really happening on Bsky now and I hope more holdouts start to discover that

My teenage son just texted me asking ‘why didn’t they bring in the lefty?’ Odd decision. Varland has been Scott Proctor level used, Dodgers know him by now

It’s such an awful, awful production decision to do these in-game interviews, literally no one enjoys them.

I’m surprised Mad Max is still in….

The TV coverage is so bad. I’m already sick of Yesavage’s parents (the new Karch Kiraily’s Dad of the 2020s, to for an NBC deepcut..)

I really really can’t stand those IBBs in extra innings with Betts and Freeman coming up, way too risky

Respect to 75-year old Dodger Super Fan Mary Hart, still at her seats behind home plate into the 17th inning

Was totally thinking that, early game Smoltz is still…🤮

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

Intentionally walking the bases loaded is always a bad idea, sorry. I read enough @sheehannewsletter.bsky.social to know this

Is Schneider contractually obligated to issue IBBs????

Such a great game, but some really odd managing and awful umpiring as well….

Dodgers radio guys blaming it on the ball hitting the Tv sound man down the RF line, and not Treinen giving up three hits…I refuse to watch the FOX feed (Smoltz) but LAD broadcast not much better…

Yep, Treinen in even with two outs for Vlad and then Bichette? Both these managers make me nervous almost every game…

Besides the fact that this is horrifying and illegal, and that individual private citizens funding the military is the darkest shit imaginable, $130 million will pay the salaries of the U.S. military for what, half of one day? Maybe?

wemby, if healthy, is gonna fry the entire league

With the Japan Sumo Association’s first trip to London’s in 34 years being far more successful than almost anyone could have expected, the possibility of a return visit has already been raised. 👉 ebx.sh/gTPHen

Tonight, in the final debate of his decades in power or desperately pursuing it, you will hear from Andrew Cuomo the same arrogance, the same entitlement, the same excuses for a broken status quo he's long maintained.

New Yorkers are ready for change.

Japan’s new 'Iron Lady' can play 'heavy metal' politics One of the few things the world knows about Takaichi is her fondness for heavy-metal music.

Commentary: Sanae Takaichi made history as Japan’s first female prime minister, navigating political turmoil and securing new alliances; now she has to tackle key issues like inflation and good governance.

Sure, but he could at this point be tired? He’s been used a lot! Either way, it just had to be Yankee Killer Springer…😒

Thanks for the PR!!! 🎵🔥

Fair. But still, they said Munoz has thrown 19 total pitches all series..? Got to go with your best guys and he’s been their best.

But haven’t they seen him a lot already this series? Munoz has barely pitched….

Forty years ago MLB teams opened their books to an independent economist and were proven to be lying liars who lied.

Until they open their books that way again, let that be your default assumption about any claims they — and their media water carriers — make about their finances.

Wow! Was that in the late 80s when he first came to the U.S.?
